Steven Butala:                   Welcome to The Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill DeWit:                            I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny southern California. Steven Butala:                   Today, Jill and I talk about when to leave your job when it starts costing you money. Jill DeWit:                            Yep. Remember that? Steven Butala:                   Mm-hmm (affirmative). Learn how to read, Steve. Jill DeWit:                            Yeah. Steven Butala:                   The title is ... Jill DeWit:                            I wasn't going to ... I'm just going to let it go. I figured it'll fix itself. Steven Butala:                   It'll fix itself. Wow. Wouldn't that be great if that's true? Jill DeWit:                            I do this often, by the way. You just don't know it. Steven Butala:                   Leave Your Job When It Starts Costing You Money. That's the title. Jill DeWit:                            That's a little bit better. Steven Butala:                   Fix itself. Jill DeWit:                            Want to leave- Steven Butala:                   I had an old Volvo 240, the square kind, and I swear that car was self-healing.

Every time I've had a car, when it's gassed up and clean, it runs better. Have you ever noticed that? Steven Butala:                   We're experts at avoiding talking about real estate.
