Channel Title: Talks With TJ Channel Description: Let's talk personal financial and consumer behavior, centered around sneakers, how I choose to style them and our shared passion for them. On the channel I share a sensible outlook on buying the wants we enjoy like sneakers (fewer than I have in the past as I've slowed down in buying), style some fits while still keeping your financial future in mind. A budget can help you Save money, make Extra debt payments and Treat yourself to whatever you love. If you would like a copy of my free eBook, How to Build a SET Budget: Living for Today and Planning for Tomorrow, While Enjoying the Little Things, email me at tajakeasal@gmail.com Thanks for tuning in and talking with TJ.

Many of us are blessed to own a lot of sneakers and clothes but we are also in a season of cleaning things out. If you were already thinking of donating sneakers and clothing you no longer wear that are in good/great condition or even new, please consider giving to those you may know in the LA area who are affected by the wildfires, or donating to organizations/businesses who are committed to helping residents local to the area that are in need. It will take years to rebuild, every little bit helps. Sneakers aren't everything in life, this we know, but we also know we are connected to the things we own and love so to lose that is devastating and being able to help people get on their feet is never a bad choice. Onyl through 1/12/25, Bricks and Wood in the LA area will be accepting donations in person and by mail as well, as a friend of mine spoke with them during his drop off, notifying them that myself and others would likely be mailing over sneakers and items for those affected by the wildfires. **Temporary Donation Center: 4571 W Washington Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90016** Bricks and Wood IG post for donations: https://www.instagram.com/p/DEnjCpgzgBO/?igsh=MWZ2MTh3Z293bmNseA== #losangeles #wildfire #sneakers Devastating start to 2025 - 0:00 Stay safe in LA - 00:33 Empathy over lost things - 1:08 Shoes/Clothes CAN be needs - 4:09 Donating sneakers to those affected - 4:47 This hits different now - 7:15 How to help - 8:38 Take a break from social media - 9:30 Take care of yourself - 10:17 **Recent Uploads** : Nike P-6000 x Makeway (Party-6000): https://youtu.be/5MElI_R2JeI For Sneakers LEAVE this in 2024...: https://youtu.be/k0BwRckQ9qw My TOP 10 Sneakers of 2024 + Sneaker of the Year?!: https://youtu.be/C5SOZG-JRXQ 2024 in Sneakers...NO Pleasing Sneakerheads: https://youtu.be/Ofrilkrtn6I The Problem with OG Jordan Retros SITTING: https://youtu.be/ged_X85s3CA 80/20 RULE for Sneakers...Why I Buy LESS Stuff (Essentials) Now?!: https://youtu.be/A1vAIjxdJfw Fear of God Essentials No Longer Essential at THESE PRICES?: https://youtu.be/-_6cs40K0iw Sneakers: Cost of Living and On Foot Reality vs Social Media!: https://youtu.be/LZdI2k4hw-s WHY Buying 4 to 5 Sneakers a Month is NOT Normal?! https://youtu.be/D4gn_XnIZVA Why Sneakers are SITTING?!: https://youtu.be/XF4QgkNSlmw 2024 Sneaker Pickups and How I Style Them!: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0RK8d5mNA9hFPBpvF4rnVsgrkOh8ZiCS If you would like a copy of my free eBook, How to Build a SET Budget: Living for Today and Planning for Tomorrow, While Enjoying the Little Things, email me at tajakeasal@gmail.com Thank you for 46,000 subs!

Description

Let's talk personal financial and consumer behavior, centered around sneakers, how I choose to style them and our shared passion for them.

On the channel I share a sensible outlook on buying the wants we enjoy like sneakers (fewer than I have in the past as I've slowed down in buying), style some fits while still keeping your financial future in mind. A budget can help you Save money, make Extra debt payments and Treat yourself to whatever you love.
