From Life Blood Podcast - On this show, we talked about what financial literacy is not about, what it's truly about and how you can best position yourself for success with Pamela Capalad CFP, AFC, Founder of Brunch and Budget, host of the Brunch and Budget podcast and CoFounder of Pocket Change.  Listen to learn about how you can determine the best plan for your personal financial future!

BONUS: Take Charge of Your Finances | Deliberate Freelancer with Pamela CapaladToday's guest is Pamela Capalad, a certified financial planner and accredited financial counselor in Brooklyn. Pam created this really cool program called Brunch & Budget, which helps people who feel ashamed or embarrassed about money have a safe and friendly place to talk about their finances—over brunch with Pam. I think this is genius. It makes people more comfortable and really open up to Pam, whose mission is to make financial planning as affordable as possible for the communities who need it most.We didn't get into it in this episode, but Pam and her husband teach hip hop and finance workshops to kids, teens and college students across the country through a program called Pockets Change. They also host the Brunch & Budget podcast, where they discuss how personal finance and racial economic justice intersect. And—if that's not enough—they started a financial planning program designed for the needs of people of color called See Change.In this episode, learn how Pam went from working in wealth management to financial planning—first, for her friends. A conversation with a friend led to Pam's business, Brunch & Budget. While the first meeting is usually an in-person brunch, Pam then meets with clients virtually every month to help them put together a financial plan and to actually implement it.Pam goes over the most-asked questions she gets from freelancers, which includes issues related to quarterly taxes and an inconsistent income.Pam also helps freelancers figure out how to raise their rates.Pam gives us the scoop on new IRS rules that benefit freelancers—the IRS won't be charging penalties if you didn't pay your 2018 taxes on time every quarter. And going forward, they're going to less strict about freelancers paying taxes every quarter as long as you get all the taxes paid by January.Pam explains why it's important to build a good relationship with an accountant who works with freelancers.Pam is a big believer in creating a 12-month cash flow projection of how much money you anticipate you will make and what your income goals are. It's important to have monthly, quarterly and annual goals, partly because a freelancer's income can be inconsistent. That cash flow projection will help you notice income patterns as income ebbs and flows throughout the year. Then, you can plan your action steps around your income goals and track and measure whether you're hitting your income goals.She also encourages freelancers to take a VACATION when the months are low.Pam talks about how imposter syndrome relates to money—and sometimes increases as you get more successful.When you are setting your rates, you need to figure out how to take the emotion out of it. Pam admits undervaluing herself when she first started providing her financial planning services.But then Pam took the emotion out of creating her rates by making herself stick to a rule that every time she gained two or three new clients, she had to raise her rates for all future clients. She also recommends coming up with the “least I'm willing to take” rate.If you do take a project below your rate, consider what non-monetary things you can negotiate with the client—a referral, a longer contract, additional projects.Pam helps us figure out how to commit to a savings account. She recommends a “high-yield” savings account so you can gain a bit more interest than what you would at your local bank. Know what your minimum personal expenses and your minimum business expenses are each month. That way when you exceed those, a chunk of that money can go directly into your savings account.Make sure you have a separate savings account just for taxes. That money is not yours. Set aside 25–30 percent of whatever you make and pretend that money doesn't exist.From there, take your monthly inc

Description from Martinis and your Money Podcast - As most of you know, I'm a big fan of financial literacy. And I think it is equally as important a component to a successful life, just like regular literacy. The biggest challenge for most people though is that, unlike reading lessons, most of us don't get personal finance lessons in schools or at home. So it's up to us to learn a language on our own and find the best classes for our needs. This is why I love highlighting so many different resources for financial literacy and I'm excited to share another one for you today. Joining me on the podcast today are Pamela Capalad and her husband, Dyalekt. She's the founder of the financial planning company “Brunch and Budget” and together the couple has cofounded “The Race and Wealth Podcast Network” which includes the Brunch and Budget podcast as well as the organization “Pockets Change”, which creates financial literacy curriculums that are taught in schools, youth organizations or one-on-one with parents and kids. They're joining me to share how their unique backgrounds and experiences helped them to find a unique way to teach financial literacy and empowerment to underserved communities.For more information, visit the show notes at https://www.martinisandyourmoney.com/show-notes/episode378

We packed a whole lot of goodies in this hour special. We caught up with Tasty Keish from last year's #DDJA interview to see where she is now after deciding to work as a full-time freelancer. We also discuss and divulge into a new Investment Appetizer and Poor Tax before our feature topic: The harsh […]

In Part 2 of why we believed the $72mm lie that Mohammed Islam told NY Magazine (that he made all this money investing in the stock market), we explore why we WANTED to believe his story. America and the American Dream is built on the idea of “rags to riches” narratives, being able to come […]

We did it. We are aired our 100th Bondfire Radio episode. We recorded it at our Airbnb in CA. It felt like it went by so fast. For the last 100 weeks of our lives, we created something and put it out into the world, never fail. Hopefully we educated and entertained people in the […]

Think getting down on one knee and shoving a diamond ring in someone's face is romantic? Do you remember when your mom started buying you deodorant or told you it was time to start shaving your legs? Do you think a breakfast without bacon shouldn't even count as breakfast? Are you afraid of getting herpes? […]

We have been out in CA this last October and November, teaching workshops up and down the coast that focus on financial literacy for kids and adults. There are a lot of articles out there, from Time, to NY Times, to HuffPo, to the Economist, to Slate, who have evidence that it doesn't work. They […]

Today on Brunch & Budget on Bondfire Radio, Dyalekt and I going to talk about something I feel very strongly about, something I'm appalled has actually caused controversy. We talk a lot on the show about how important it is to make sure your advisor has committed to being your fiduciary, which basically means they […]

There are literally hundreds of professional financial designations and sadly, most of them are not as legitimate as they sound – sometimes all you need is $50 and a 50 question test to be able to put some initials after your name. Find out which financial designations really matter and what the difference is between […]

I feel like people toss around the phrase financial literacy and everyone nods along and says, “Oh yeah, I need that.” But what exactly is THAT? How do you know whether or not you're financially literate in the first place? Do you take a quiz? And if so, which quiz do you take? Is the […]

It's time for our annual tax episode!

By the end of the episode, you'll learn how to take advantage of the tax changes during COVID (and make sure you get that stimulus payment!), how to maximize your deductions, the biggest tax mistakes people make, and why refunds are actually a total scam.Music Featured in this episode:Stay [Income Tax] feat illmac by OnlyOneIncome Tax Party by BIG SUB OGIncome Tax Money by Scrap Easy

Audits. You're scared of them. We're scared of them. But what exactly is an audit? How do we prepare for something many people avoid discussing?

True stat – parents are more afraid to talk to their kids about money than they are to talk to them about sex or drugs. At the same time, we have all picked up money habits, lessons, and philosophies from our parents and other influential adults around us and our kids are doing the same. […]

Dyalekt and I had SO much to talk about on Valentine's Day that we decided to do a second show on how to talk to you significant other about money. This show is all about getting down to the details, the nitty gritty. Exactly HOW should you set up your bank accounts? Should you get […]

Forget the roses and the candy. If you want to make sure your relationship lasts past this Valentine's Day, how do start to talk to your significant other about your finances, or, even scarier, their finances? We've all heard the stats – money is the #1 cause of divorce in this country – and at […]

As another Valentine's Day approches, it begs the question, is it less expensive to be single or in a relationship? Not just on Valentine's Day, but in general. Do couples spend more money or do single people spend more money trying to get couple-y? We compare single and living alone to single and living with […]

If I did it, so can you. That phrase sound familiar? If you just work harder, if you only wanted it more, if only… Survivorship Bias can be dangerous. Hard work is definitely needed to gain success, but it's not the only factor. By believing in this mentality we are automatically doomed into thinking if we don't succeed then we're failures. But the world isn't so two-sided. There are plenty of options and ways to achieve the success you want.Music featured in this episode:Survivors– Beni BjahSurvivors -Cphr DvnSurvivor – KolayahWant more?

New episodes uploaded every Tuesday.Episode Highlights:Pam: Survivorship bias…it's this idea that you survived and you don't see who failed, so the people who talk about their success, the ones who survive are the ones who are like, “Well you can do it too if you do exactly what I did.”Pam: Failed companies are excluded in performance studies, because they're gone and they failed.Pam: We're all told the bootstraps story, the American Dream story. We've spent so much time on this podcast talking about that and the idea of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. This idea that we all live in this vacuum or this silo where we all start from the same place and have the same opportunities so “I just worked hard and that's how I made it” and this implication that I worked hard and I'm here, which means that you didn't work hard because you're not here.Pam: You're always right in hindsight. That's basically what survivorship bias is. Is oh, looking back on all these things, I'm able to tell you that this is what worked when that's not actually what worked that's just what happened.Pam: “Hard work is a necessary condition for success, not a sufficient one.” -Sol Orwell  …Hard work is the prerequisite for success. It is really putting in the time, putting in the effort.Pam: The biggest thing about deliberate practice is there needs to be a system in place where you understand the progress you're making, and you can also pinpoint where you're not making progress.Pam: I think the first thing in terms of you trying to figure out what you wanna get better at, or if you have a business idea and you wanna figure out if you're making progress on it, is you have to figure out what you're actually measuring. This is why we talk about why it's so important to have cash flow projections so that you can measure month by month whether or not it's growing in the way that you predicted that it would grow, because that's one way to see if it's working and that's one way to help you decide if what you're doing is working.Pam: If you don't have an understanding of what you need to measure, than that's the first thing you need to figure out.Pam: The phrase “work hard” is just as valuable as “exercise more and eat less.” It means nothing! …It's this sort of blanket statement that people say when they don't' understand what they're doing and they don't understand how they got there.

Feat. DREAM by Dyalekt & Dedrick Asante-MuhammadListen hereMay 2021. That was the last time we posted a podcast episode. One of our most favorite, nourishing, life giving things we did gave way to the weight of… everything else.We had a false start in January of this year. We recorded a segment with our favorite regular guest, Dedrick Asante-Muhammad, and he rocked it of course. But then the pressure to be “good” got to me. Every segment we recorded didn't sound right. We were out of practice and forgot why it was fun in the first place.Finally, we had heard ourselves complain about it enough. We reached out to greenhouse studios and booked studio time. The first 40 minutes of recording, we had that same sinking feeling back in January. Luckily, we booked 4 hours of studio time and by the second hour, we were laughing again.One of the big lessons we're learning this year is how to prioritize the things that give us life, the things we do for us as much as we do for other people. The podcast is one of those things.After 245 episodes in season 1  we are extremely excited to bring you season 2 of the Brunch & Budget podcast starting August 11. We hope you love it as much as we do.

Has talking about the racial wealth divide become conversational quicksand, where we think that people talking about it are considering the problem in its totality and actually trying to solve it but they're actually applying a band aid to a gaping wound by saying the right words so we keep buying their products(looking at you Apple)?This week we're joined by Dedrick Asante-Muhammad for another PREACH episode and we took a deep dive into corporations and the racial wealth divide. We talked about authenticity, what systemic racism actually means, and how the feeling of being personally racist factors into all of this.
