    What if the greatest shift you could make in your financial life didn't begin with a new budget, a better investment strategy, or a higher income—but with surrender? We don't often think of surrender as a financial word, but it lies at the heart of biblical stewardship. When we embrace the life-changing truth that God owns everything, it transforms how we live, give, plan, and manage the resources He has entrusted to us. The First Question Scripture Asks When we think about money, we tend to ask familiar questions: How much do I have? How much will I need? Am I making progress? Am I doing better or worse than others? Those questions may be important, but they are not where Scripture begins. From the opening pages of the Bible, God is revealed as the Creator and owner of everything. Before humanity ever cultivated a garden or named a creature, God formed, filled, and ruled creation. Psalm 24:1 declares: “The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein.” Simply put, God is the owner, and we are His stewards. For many Christians, that is a familiar idea. But familiarity does not always lead to surrender. We may affirm that God owns the universe while living as though we built our lives entirely through our own effort. We say, “I worked for this,” or, “I earned this.” And while diligent work matters, Scripture reminds us that even our ability to produce wealth comes from God. Deuteronomy 8:18 says: “You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth.” Our talents, opportunities, health, time, and ability to work are all gifts from the Lord. Owners or Stewards? Jesus develops this idea in the parable of the talents in Matthew 25. A master entrusts resources to three servants before leaving on a journey. Two servants put what they received to work, while the third buries his portion out of fear. When the master returns, he commends the first two servants—not merely because they produced impressive results, but because they were faithful. That distinction matters. The world often defines success by outcomes: how much we earn, accumulate, grow, or achieve. God calls us to something deeper—faithfulness with whatever He has placed in our hands. If God owns everything, then we are not owners in the ultimate sense. We are managers. The New Testament word commonly translated as “steward” is oikonomos, meaning “household manager.” A steward manages resources he did not create, for purposes he did not determine, under the authority of the master he serves. At first, that may sound limiting. In reality, it is profoundly freeing. As financial teacher Ron Blue has often said, “If God owns it all, you can't lose anything.” Ownership carries an enormous burden. The owner must ultimately provide, protect, and control. But if God is the owner, then we do not have to carry those responsibilities alone. Stewardship carries responsibility, but it also rests on trust. When Financial Choices Become Worship When we truly embrace stewardship, ordinary financial decisions become opportunities to worship God. Budgeting becomes more than organizing income and expenses. It becomes a way of aligning our desires with God's priorities. Giving becomes a response to the generosity we have already received from Him. Saving becomes wise preparation rather than fearful hoarding. Planning becomes an act of obedience rather than an attempt to control every possible outcome. Investing becomes a way to cultivate and multiply what belongs to the Lord, not a strategy for securing complete independence from Him. The Puritan pastor Thomas Watson once wrote, “What we keep, we may lose. What we give to God is kept forever.” That statement reminds us that earthly ownership is temporary, but faithful stewardship has eternal significance. The apostle Paul writes in 1 Timothy 6:7: “For we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.” That reality is not meant to discourage us. It is meant to liberate us. When we stop clutching what we cannot keep, we become free to invest our lives in what can never be lost. Faithfulness Begins With Surrender If God owns everything, what does He expect from us? Jesus gives us a clear answer in Luke 16:10: “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much.” Faithfulness is not determined by the size of our income, investment portfolio, home, or charitable gifts. It is about how we respond to whatever God has entrusted to us. Stewardship is not reserved for the wealthy. It applies to every person in every financial season. A person living paycheck to paycheck can be faithful. A retiree managing decades of savings can be faithful. A young adult earning their first salary can be faithful. A business owner, parent, student, or widow can all honor God through the resources in their care. Faithfulness is not primarily about how much we have. It is about whether we have surrendered what we have to God. And surrender always begins in the heart. The Humility and Hope of Stewardship When we accept that God owns it all, we receive two things the world cannot offer: humility and hope. We gain humility because we stop viewing our accomplishments as entirely self-made. We recognize God as the source of our abilities, opportunities, and provision. We gain hope because we realize that we are not carrying the burden of provision alone. God equips. God guides. God provides. That does not mean we stop working, planning, or making wise decisions. Biblical stewardship requires diligence. But it allows us to work faithfully without treating every result as though it depends entirely on us. So where might God be inviting you to shift from an owner's mindset to a steward's heart? Perhaps it is in your giving, planning, saving, or lifestyle. Perhaps it is in the quiet assumption that your security depends more on markets, income, or possessions than on the God who “owns the cattle on a thousand hills” (Psalm 50:10). Stewardship is not about God trying to get something from you. It is about God doing something within you. It reorders the heart so that money occupies its proper place—not as a master, but as a tool entrusted to us for God's purposes and glory.

    In this AMA episode, Ben Felix, Dan Bortolotti, and Ben Wilson tackle a wide range of practical investing questions submitted by listeners. They begin by discussing one of the most common investing mistakes—market timing—and explain why getting back into the market is often harder than getting out. From there, they explore the evidence behind lump sum investing versus dollar-cost averaging, why high valuations rarely justify sitting in cash, and how your discomfort with investing may reveal a mismatch between your portfolio and your true risk tolerance.   The conversation also pulls back the curtain on PWL Capital's investment committee, detailing how new investment products are evaluated, how due diligence is conducted, and why even seemingly simple index funds require ongoing scrutiny. They then examine whether any recent Canadian ETF innovations are genuinely useful, discuss retirement-focused T-Series asset allocation ETFs, debate whether gamified trading creates opportunities for active management, and respond to questions about inflation, currency debasement, and the real drivers of long-term stock returns. As always, the episode closes with a lighter listener question before reading a review from the audience. Key Points From This Episode: (0:04) Introduction and why AMA episodes continue to resonate with listeners. (0:55) A listener asks how to reinvest after selling half their portfolio over bubble concerns. (2:00) Why successful market timing requires being right twice.

(9:07) How investment anxiety often points to an overly aggressive asset allocation. (11:37) The psychology of buying after market crashes and why investors rarely do. (13:20) Why the best strategy is often whichever gets you invested and keeps you there. (16:14) A behind-the-scenes look at PWL Capital's investment committee. (17:23) How new securities are researched, reviewed, and approved. (19:10) How acquisitions have changed the firm's investment oversight process. (20:15) Annual due diligence on ETF providers and fund managers. (21:55) Why even plain-vanilla index funds require performance monitoring. (25:17) Are there any genuinely innovative new Canadian ETFs? (26:27) Why most ETF innovation is driven by investor demand rather than better investing. (28:19) Avantis ETFs and discount bond ETFs as notable recent developments. (33:52) Why ETF issuers tend to launch products after investment themes become popular. (33:52) Where investors should spend their planning time when wealth is still relatively small. (35:00) Why growing human capital often has a greater impact than optimizing investments. (37:59) Budgeting, saving, and account selection early in an investing journey. (39:14) BMO's new T-Series asset allocation ETFs and how they generate retirement income. (41:56) Understanding managed distributions and return of capital. (44:08) Why these retirement ETFs may suit DIY investors but not every retiree. (48:31) Whether gamified trading and meme stocks create opportunities for active managers. (50:08) What the evidence says about active management in small-cap growth stocks. (53:39) Why market competition limits persistent opportunities from retail speculation. (53:39) Do stocks only rise because governments debase currencies? (55:59) Inflation measurement, currency debasement, and common misconceptions. (58:10) Why productive businesses—not money printing alone—drive long-term stock returns.

In this episode of Dollars & Sense, Zach Keister and Kristin Kalley walk through practical midyear money moves that can help you review your financial goals, get organized, and protect your household from costly mistakes. First, they cover how to run a simple midyear money reset by reviewing what came in, what went out, what you owe, and what you have saved.

Finally, Zach and Kristin shift into cybercrime awareness, sharing key takeaways from the FBI internet crime report, including how AI is making scams more convincing, why younger people are increasingly being targeted, how government impersonation scams are evolving, and why crypto fraud is driving major losses. If you are looking for practical personal finance tips, ways to pay down debt, or reminders to protect your family from financial scams, this episode is a great place to start. In this episode: midyear financial reset, credit card payoff strategies, budgeting tips, retirement account cleanup, beneficiary reviews, estate planning basics, cybercrime prevention, AI scams, government impersonation scams, and cryptocurrency fraud awareness.

Ritu has started her e-commerce journey as an Etsy seller over ten years ago. She is the CEO of PPC Ninja, a software tools and services provider managing Amazon ads for six, seven, and eight figure brands. As someone who is really passionate about data science and advertising, Ritu has dozens of PPC mastermind programs, workshops, and webinar and has even trained hundreds of Amazon sellers on PPC. She has shared her knowledge on over 100 podcasts, webinars, blogs and conferences including the Prosper Show, Global Sources Summit, Powwow, the Billion Dollar Seller Summit, and many more. So with that introduction, Ritu, welcome to the show.Ritu 00:00:50  Josh, thank you so much for having me. I am super excited to be here and to talk all about PPC today.Josh 00:00:58  What is what would you recommend from the hundreds of accounts that you viewed. The sellers that are using your platform and software. What do you see right now is a healthy balance of PPC sales to organic sales for an established brand.Ritu 00:01:14  Yeah, and I think it's very dependent on the category. Some categories are so saturated that 60, 40, 60 PPC and 40% organic is becoming the norm. For example, just to give you an example from the pet space just so crowded, like especially if you're, you know, selling any kind of like, dog toys or, you know, pet products and things like that. there's so much competition there that, you know, 50 to 60% coming from ads is pretty normal. Like, there's no chance you can compete with mainland Chinese brands with just organic. They've already got 20,000 reviews and more like, how can you, you know, how can you even compete? Begin to compete with that, right? So the ads become your only way, your only chance of being seen. And that leads to the 6040 ratio. But in some of the other categories where it's a little bit more, you know, difficult for anyone to imitate you or to provide services that, you know, require human, you know, intensive work like support or whatever, like after the fact, it's probably still okay to get like 40% from, ads and 60% from organic.Ritu 00:02:37  So let's say research heavy products or products that require or have a good margin. Right? Have a good margin, that are not so easy to imitate those categories. You're still seeing quite a healthy ratio. So it totally depends on the category. I would recommend just making a note of that number today and just watching it over time. Because just baseline it and then you'll see whether it's going up or down.Josh 00:03:04  Yeah that's good input. And on that note, while we're talking about metrics, what do you see as a healthy tacos percentage for an established brand. And I'm sure it changes based on what category you're in. For sure, if you're supplements, you're playing a much longer term game and you're playing on subscriptions and repeat customers. But let's say for an average brand, right, that has, you know, one time customers more often than not. What do you think is kind of the ballpark tacos number to ensure that they're they're healthy and competitive across the board?Ritu 00:03:39  Yeah. So that's such a great question.Ritu 00:03:41  Really $1 million question. So okay, here's what I think of tacos. Now your tacos is going to be different at different stages of your journey. So you know when you are starting off your tacos, needs to be competitive with the market. You can't be looking at tacos as a profitability metrics. It's more of like, what's the maximum I can afford to spend in order to get this business off the ground? But then as time progresses and you start to see, you know, revenue coming in, flywheels working, everything is going fine. Then you start to tweak the, you know, the tacos target a little bit to kind of make it more profitable. so I think, it's a kind of, it's a calculation that I, look for at three points. So I look at spend. I look at revenue and I look at profits. Right. So initially, when you're just starting off, you know, even the smallest amount of spend will result in a drop in profits. You know, you're starting off.Ritu 00:04:54  You're spending money on ads. All of that is eating into your profits. But at a certain point the the spend as you increase your ad spend, it's actually going to generate revenue for you. Right. So what's the sweet spot when those two lines kind of cross over? that's the target tacos that is going to shift with, with, you know, the maturity of your of your account. So, we do say that the guideline is we don't want to spend more than 50% of net margin for your for your advertising. So I guess if you can keep that just general rule of thumb in mind, you should be fine. so no more than 50% of net margin. eventually you want...

    On this solo episode of the Profit First for Real Estate Investors podcast, the host tackles a counterintuitive trap that catches growing real estate investors and entrepreneurs: scaling yourself right out of business. Drawing on Keith Cunningham's line from The Road Less Stupid that scaling cancer only grows the tumor, he lays out why pouring more marketing money into a business you don't fully understand is like putting fuel in a plane that's already going down.The episode is a practical walkthrough of how to scale profitably using the Profit First cash flow system. You'll learn how to set up and name your bank accounts, how to run your business by percentages instead of lump sums, and how target allocation percentages shift as you grow from startup to a quarter million and beyond. If you've ever felt like there's somehow less cash the bigger you get, this one gives you the roadmap to grow without going broke.Timeline Highlights[0:26] Why it's actually possible to scale yourself out of business, and how to spot if it's happening to you[0:46] The Road Less Stupid by Keith Cunningham and the "scale cancer, the tumor grows" principle[1:03] How Keith Cunningham connects to the Rich Dad character in Robert Kiyosaki's famous book[1:46] The spray and pray marketing mistake that keeps investors from ever paying themselves[2:24] The real game every entrepreneur is playing is the game of money, not their industry's game[3:07] What winning actually looks like: a business that serves you on the way up, not one that drains you[3:27] Step one to scaling profitably: set up a Profit First system so you know where every dollar goes[4:13] Splitting income by percentages across profit, owner's comp, owner's tax, and operating expense accounts[5:20] Target allocation percentages explained, and the goal percentages for a healthy business[5:41] The startup percentages from zero to $250K and why so much flows toward the owner early on[6:54] How the percentages shift from $250K to $500K to reinvest in opex without losing profit[7:50] Why "reinvesting every dollar" is code for scaling yourself out of business[8:39] Where to find the specific target percentages for buying, holding, and selling property[9:58] Scale with intentionality, and how to grab the book or cheat sheet to build your own roadmapKey TakeawaysYou can absolutely scale yourself out of business. Adding more fuel, usually marketing spend, to a business whose numbers aren't healthy doesn't fix the problem, it just makes you crash faster.Every entrepreneur is playing the game of money, not the game of their industry. Whether you're in real estate, run a salon, or own a brick and mortar shop, you have to know the money game to actually win it.Set up a system so you know where every dollar is going. Profit First works like the envelope method for businesses: separate, named bank accounts for profit, owner's comp, owner's tax, and operating expenses.Run your business by percentages, not lump sums. When income comes in, split it out of an income account into your other accounts by percentage so your money is intentional and spread out from the start.Target allocation percentages are your goal numbers for a healthy business. Early on, a bigger share flows to the owner because you carry less payroll and overhead, and those percentages are designed to keep you profitable at every stage.Scaling profitably just means your percentages change as you grow. Moving from zero to $250K to $500K, you shift some of owner's pay toward opex so you can reinvest in the business while still protecting profit, pay, and taxes.Protect your profitability or you become an accidental nonprofit. Reinvesting every last dollar without paying yourself or building a profit buffer is a recipe for crashing the plane.Links & ResourcesProfit First for Real Estate Investing by David Richter (book with target allocation percentages for buying, holding, and selling): https://profitrei.com Profit First cheat sheet and free book offer: https://simplecfo.com/gift ClosingIf this episode gave you clarity or a new way to think about growth, remember the core message: stop scaling in a way that hurts you and start scaling with intention, protecting your profit at every stage instead of pouring every dollar back into the fire.

Sup, chomos! This week, Caleb Hammer, host of Financial Audit joins the Mommy Dome to talk money, mayhem, and the chaos of his own show. Caleb grew up broke and clawed his way out of massive debt, all while interviewing some of the internet's most financially unhinged people on Financial Audit. The conversation covers the actual hard math behind why most Americans can't survive an $800 rent payment, the case for buying a house even when renting is cheaper, and how nearly 40 states now require a personal finance class in high school, which means "nobody told me" will officially stop working as an excuse. Caleb also breaks down the wildest things his guests have said on camera, including unprompted racism, casual tax evasion confessions, and one woman who's never filed a return in her life with zero consequences. They also run through Horrible or Hilarious clips, debate whether financial domination clients just need to "drop the N-word" more, and dive deep into Mike Fedele, the only tax man offering both IRS advice and detailed sexual positioning tips in the same breath. Caleb also opens up about a serious flying phobia that led him to charter a tiny private jet just to feel in control, and gets talked into a future helicopter ride by Tom. Enjoy!

    In this episode, the Pennsylvania Association of Blind Students leads a Convention 101 conversation for anyone preparing to attend the NFB National Convention in Austin. The questions come from students and first-time attendees, while the answers come from leaders who have learned how to navigate the week through experience. Lynn Heitz explains why National Convention is more than a conference. It is where blind people from across the country gather, where resolutions are debated, where the organization's direction is shaped, and where first-timers can see blind people living full, successful lives. David Goldstein shares practical travel and packing tips, including the importance of layers inside cold hotel meeting rooms, comfortable shoes, accessible airport apps, Aira, Be My Eyes, Seeing AI, Apple AirTags, and the convention app. He also reminds attendees that they will not be able to attend everything, so choosing sessions intentionally matters. Harriet Danner talks about the size and pace of National Convention, the value of reading the agenda before arriving, the importance of the presidential address, and the usefulness of finding a convention buddy. She also explains how special-interest groups and divisions can help students and professionals build relationships in their chosen fields.   Key Topics Covered What National Convention is and why it matters Why Rookie Roundup is a must for first-time attendees How resolutions, general sessions, and the Pennsylvania caucus work What to expect from banquet exchange and the national banquet What to pack for Austin and cold hotel meeting rooms How to dress for meetings, exhibits, and banquet Airport travel tips for blind and low-vision travelers Using Aira, Be My Eyes, Seeing AI, Meta Ray-Bans, and Apple AirTags How to use the NFB Convention app and online agenda Planning your schedule without getting overwhelmed Finding a convention buddy or mentor Budgeting for food and daily expenses Using convention for career development and networking How parents can support young blind travelers without holding them back   Suggested Resources for Show Notes National Federation of the Blind Convention information: https://www.nfb.org/convention  Transportation Security Administration traveler information: https://www.tsa.gov  TSA Cares: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/tsa-cares  Austin-Bergstrom International Airport accessibility services: https://www.flyaustin.com  Aira visual interpreting: https://www.aira.io  JW Marriott Austin: https://www.marriott.com    Read more at https://www.whitecanesconnect.com/155/             Donate to the NFB of PA Like what you hear on White Canes Connect?
