We have a steamy episode this week! That's because everything Liv touches is hot hot hot

In this episode, Shellee and Matt discuss:The best time for families to start planning financially for collegeThe power of having college finances conversations with your teen Understanding college ROIThe book "Empty Nest Full Pockets" by Matt Key Takeaways: The sooner you begin the college application process and educate yourself, the better your investment accounts are likely to grow during those years which can help you pay for your child's college and graduate debt-free.Knowledge is power. Making smart financial decisions when looking for colleges begins with a clear understanding of the net cost of college and how financial aid works, and this can be achieved by having the college money talk with your teen.A college education is a huge investment regardless of your financial situation, so try a pre-approval plan to determine whether your family's investment in a degree or a college may yield a return on investment.Many parents are so focused on getting their children ready that they forget that they still have a life to live here. Make sure that you balance being involved in your children's lives with helping them become more independent, confident, and goal-oriented by preparing them financially, especially for paying for a part-time job and all the adulting stuff they have not done yet financially. “We can figure out the money, we can figure out how to get things to work financially. We might have to make some tough decisions, but it can be done. There's no reason to just throw up your hands and let them go to a school that's going to bankrupt the whole family - it's a time to really dig in and engage. You don't have to necessarily be the leader of the process, but you need to be a mentor and be part of it.”  —  Matt Meline  About Matt Meline: Matt is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of PrairieFire and husband to the Operations Manager, Lisa Meline.Matt founded PrairieFire in 2019 on the belief that financial planning and unbiased advice can only come from an independent, conflict-free team. Matt has dedicated his career to being a trusted resource, coach, and partner for clients and friends, securing proactively defending his clients' interests every day as his daily goal.In the midst of a period of transition in his life, Matt completed a unique program designed to rediscover core values and shift the planning focus from just the money to the life of the clients. This is the way he aims to improve both returns on investments and returns on life. With a specialty in helping families prepare for children leaving the nest, building an exciting empty nest lifestyle, and making the most of retirement, PFW excels at helping families achieve their financial goals in the second half of their lives.Matt loves the community of Des Moines. He attended Lincoln High School on Des Moines' south side after moving here from Omaha during his high school years. Following his graduation from the University of Northern Iowa, he worked primarily as a senior manager for various banking organizations throughout the Midwest. In the mid-1990s, he decided to leave the security of that job and pursue a full-time career as a financial planner.As parents of four children who are currently living their dream lives in Chicago, Denver, Rhode Island, and Ames, Iowa, Matt, along with his wife Lisa, knows a lot about the teen years and college preparation for kids.  Connect with Matt Meline:Website: https://www.prairiefirewealth.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattmelinepfw/ Connect with Shellee Howard: Website:  https://collegereadyplan.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr_WodPHDfSWEbiPdsRDbyQTwitter: https://twitter.com/gocollegereadyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/collegereadyplan/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CollegeReadyPlan/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/college-ready/Email: shellee@collegereadyplan.com  Show notes by Podcastologist: Angelica Rayco. Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode, Shellee and Jin Yun Chow discuss: Having a mentor that helps you discover your potentialHow Polygence helps students discover what they want to do in collegeThe truth about picking the right college for you Key Takeaways: The process of picking colleges and majors can be nerve-wracking, but you will get there, especially if someone pushes you to realize where your passion lies and how to make it to your advantage.Test the waters. As soon as you figure out your passions, create a project based on those passions - it can serve as a test drive for a possible college major or career.The college experience can be very similar at any college. Choosing the right mentors is the key, but it's also what you take in class, who you make as friends, and how you go the extra mile that really makes your college career as rewarding as you want it to be. “You can develop into an awesome human being wherever you go, because it is what you make of the experience that matters much more than the type of stone that makes up the building that you're in.  —  Jin Yun Chow     About Jin Yun Chow: Jin Yun Chow has a bachelor's degree from Princeton University and a PhD from Stanford University.She is the Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of Polygence, a team of academics and educators united in their passion to make research more widely accessible to all interested students and is committed to cultivating multi-faceted intelligence -- with mentors covering diverse disciplines across the humanities and STEM. Connect with Jin Yun Chow:Website: https://www.polygence.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/polygence/Email: jin@polygence.org Connect with Shellee Howard: Website:  https://collegereadyplan.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr_WodPHDfSWEbiPdsRDbyQTwitter: https://twitter.com/gocollegereadyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/collegereadyplan/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CollegeReadyPlan/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/college-ready/Email: shellee@collegereadyplan.com  Show notes by Podcastologist: Angelica Rayco. Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

EPISODE SUMMARYBefore you head into what is likely to be a six figure investment into your child's future, you'll want to catch this episode with Dr. Abigail Sussman, professor at the University of Chicago, as she shares with us some of her knowledge about the psychology of money. She has some great advice on how to think about paying for college so you can avoid busting the budget and going into unnecessary debt or sacrificing other important financial priorities. EPISODE NOTESDr. Abigail Sussman is a professor of marketing at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Her work is to study how economics and finances intersect with human psychology. It's easy to think of money and budgeting as numbers on a page, and because of that you might forget to plan for the emotional aspect. This is especially helpful to keep in mind as you make plans to invest in your child's future, a season which is so charged with emotion already.If there's one thing I've seen time and time again with college and career planning, it's how easy it is for parents and families to blow the college budget when decision time comes. No matter how carefully you might plan, there is a strong likelihood that you will be tempted to pay more for a college your child loves. Often, parents end up paying extra for emotional reasons. They get broadsided by how strongly they are feeling about their child's future, and they decide they just have to make it work, no matter what. Is that bad? Maybe not. What Abby will guide you through is seeing there is a way to plan for these things so you don't get caught off guard when the moment comes. It really is possible to set a firm and realistic budget before you get into what she calls an emotional “hot state” - which could be at the time of application or when it comes to making that final decision. She's got great advice to share that will help you save money on college because you know what to expect and have made rational decisions about what you and your teen want and how you're going to get it.Highlights How correct mental accounting can help you plan paying for collegeThe reasons why smart families often blow the college (and other) budgetsTips on how to think about “exceptional expenses”Advice on how to make important decisions in a cold state instead of a hot stateMeet Our GuestAbigail Sussman, Professor of Marketing at The University of Chicago Booth School of Business, researches how individuals form judgments and make decisions, from underlying mechanisms to applications. She investigates questions at the intersection of psychology, economics, and finance, with the aim of improving financial well-being. Her central research examines psychological biases that can lead consumers to commit errors in budgeting, spending, borrowing, and investing. Her work has been featured in top academic journals including the Journal of Consumer Research, the JournIn September, I'm hosting my complimentary parent masterclass, four common mistakes to avoid when choosing a college major.

Let's face it. Transitions are anything but easy. But, guess what?! You aren't alone! We all go through them. Some, handle them better than others, though, that doesn't mean you can't too!Halie Devlin, Founder of Embodied Recovery Community, has learned over the years to take transitions as an invitation to not take herself so seriously and as an opportunity to bring more light into her life. From struggling with addiction all through her college experience and into the beginning of her career, Halie had to really learn how to navigate not only difficult academic and career transitions, but all while in the midst of addiction. It wasn't until Halie was introduced to the recovery and somatic world when she was able to bring more light back into her life and give back to other recovering women in return. In this episode of Success is Subjective, Halie joins Joanna to share her journey going from an art major, to eventually transitioning into doing a different type of ‘art', supporting recovering women through somatic work. Listen in to gain insight on how Halie has managed to get through some of the most difficult transitions of her life and how she helps others fall in love with their own personal journeys. What You Will LearnDealing with homesickness when moving away for collegeThe shame associated around the college you go toCollege names don't always match up to quality of educationNavigating academic transitions in the midst of addictionWhat Halie did with her art major after graduating collegeThe different lane but same highway that Halie took with her careerChoose the things that keep you feeling truly aliveBringing lightness into transitionsConnect with Halie DevlinSacred Grounding WellnessEmbodied Recovery CommunityConnect with Joanna Lilley  Success is Subjective WebsiteSuccess is Subjective PatreonLilley Consulting WebsiteLilley Consulting on Instagram Lilley Consulting on Facebook Success is Subjective on Apple PodcastSuccess is Subjective on Google PodcastSuccess is Subjective on iHeart RadioSuccess is Subjective on SpotifySuccess is Subjective on StitcherSuccess is Subjective on AmazonSponsored by: College AlternativeEmail joanna@successissubjective.org

Navigating school with learning difficulties is hard enough, let alone taking them to college and grad school. It can be easy to let fear take the reins and give up on the idea of success altogether. Though, what if you instead really leaned into the fear? Paul Taylor, Founder of the Live Strong House, grew up with learning difficulties weighing him down for the majority of his academic career.

June is the graduation season, so the episodes airing this month will focus on the cost of college and how best to pay for it. This episode of the One for the Money podcast focuses on your ability to pay for the college education of your loved ones effectively. Listen until the end when I share a great resource to help you further understand the expense of college and additional options on how to pay for it. In this episode...The magnitude of student loans [02:14] College costs more now than ever [05:22] Be careful with your choice of college [08:25] Understanding the cost of college [12:52] Preparing for college financiallyMy wife and I can't believe how quickly time has passed. Our oldest son is going into high school this fall, our middle son is going into middle school, and our youngest is starting the second grade. Sooner than we realize, my wife and I will begin working on their applications to college, which is a daunting project. If the college application process isn't complicated enough, paying for college is an equally important and complex matter.  Our focus on the costs of college has increased for a good reason. The current level of student loan debt in the United States is $1.7 trillion. In fact, student loan debt is the second-highest consumer debt category behind only mortgage debt and is higher than both credit card debt and auto loans. These debts have a chance of leading to a future of financial crisis. The forgiveness of student loan debt may feature in the midterm elections. The government has already deferred interest, which has cost America over $100 billion. The increasing costs of collegeThe cost of student loans has increased at twice the rate of inflation since 1983. The usual suspect is good government intentions to make schools more affordable. Despite the good intentions, these student loan programs caused a significant rise in tuition because the supply and demand mechanism became broken. Typically, prices are relatively held in check because consumers can't afford steep increases. However, when people can borrow more and more money, tuition increases, and the federal government guarantees these loans. College Planning EssentialsThere's a fabulous resource to help you further understand the cost of college and how to pay for it. College Planning Essentials is a resource provided by JP Morgan with a tremendous amount of relevant data. This tool provides the starting salaries achieved from certain degrees, with computer science having the highest starting salary, followed by engineers. It would seem that the STEM programs are great for future earning potential. This resource also provides intriguing facts about athletic scholarships and what they cover, which isn't as much as you might think. College Planning Essentials also provides a breakdown of expected family contribution. That's a formula that colleges use to determine how much they will charge you. Unfortunately, the sticker price at a college isn't the same for all families and instead is based on expected contributions. The resource compares various college saving vehicles, the benefit of 529s, and a host of other information. Check it out to learn more about the expense of college and how you can make well-informed decisions about those costs. Prior to investing in a 529 Plan, investors should consider whether the investor's or designated beneficiary's home state offers any state tax or other state benefits such as financial aid, scholarship funds, and protection from creditors that are only available for investments in such state's qualified tuition program. Withdrawals used for qualified expenses are federally tax free. Tax treatment at the state level may vary. Please consult with your tax advisor before investing.

Do you remember your young adult years and trying to navigate the many questions you had about your future? Questions like:What is God's calling on my life? Did I choose the right career path?Will I find the right job for me? What if I fail?What if this isn't what I thought it would be?I remember stumbling through all of these questions.

She is going to shed light on how faith-based young women are navigating the expectations of Biblical Womanhood in a Career Driven Society. Kristen Yost earned her Bachelor of Science from Indiana Wesleyan University's Division of Communication and Theatre where she was a student of mine. Passionate about the topic of women in the workplace, she spent her final semester at IWU researching and studying the expectations of females in professional work environments. Her final article, titled "Navigating the Expectations of Biblical Womanhood in a Career Driven Society," added the religious approach she wished to include where she took the experiences of many Christian women and incorporated practical advice for other women within similar life circumstances. Now in the professional workplace herself, Kristen's passions have not changed and she continues to learn more of God's calling on her career in this season of life. Initially starting her career working as a flight attendant, she quickly realized her skills and goals were more suited for a corporate workplace. She "restarted" her career working in a bank where she now thrives in a customer service oriented position and where she sees herself staying for the foreseeable future

Ebun demonstrates to us the ability not to let her self-worth be defined by sets of numbers that may not determine who she is on the mere account of a bad semester.

Feel the pressure to make sure your young adult goes to school, gets a good education and finds a lifelong career? Do they feel as passionate about that route? Because in reality, no matter what your child chooses to do whether it's college or starting a dog grooming business, life will still be there to teach them new things and help them continue to grow in the path that they choose. If they aren't as passionate about the mainstream route as you are stressed about it, is it worth pushing?Robert Trout, Director of The Experiential Healing Institute, went into college thinking it was the only route to take at the time. That route ended up leading him into experiencing depression in college and really not enjoying what he was doing with his life. After discovering a program called Outward Bound, Richard found a passion in wilderness therapy, eventually leading him to hike the Appalachian trail where he spent over 1000 days in the wilderness. That experience has still to this day been one of the most remarkable opportunities and has led him to everything he does today as an entrepreneur, wilderness guide, wilderness therapist, and father.On this episode of Success is Subjective, Robert joins Joanna to share his journey going from hating school and being miserable, to finishing out college strong in something he absolutely loves.

Sometimes the job or experience that once was scary and exciting might eventually come to be boring and exhausting. And that's okay. Though, it's important to adjust with that growth instead of limiting yourself by staying in what feels comfortable. Erica Nelson, a co-founder of REAL Consulting, an Orvis endorsed fly fishing guide in Colorado, and the host of the Awkward Angler Podcast, has really allowed herself to explore the idea of what limits her in life. Starting at the age of 18 Erica uprooted from New Mexico to Utah alone and hasn't stopped saying yes to adventure ever since.

Just because your path doesn't look like theirs doesn't mean you aren't as capable as them. Whether it's to be a doctor or to simply be a college student.

It takes a lot of courage to step away from society and make your own path. It takes bravery to show up with your differences and challenge them. Even though it's scary, what if you did step off the traditional conveyor belt path and into something different? What if the fear attached to the unknown is an invitation to take that leap?Kai Johnson, Director of Ingenuity Year, found himself stuck on the conveyor belt of life in his emerging adult years. It wasn't until he got fed up and decided to do a study abroad program while in college where he was able to connect with the world and get back to himself.

Not everyone does one thing for the rest of their life and that is okay. Holding yourself to that standard will do nothing but hold you back. Living without taking any risks and exploring other options would be cheating yourself of all that life has to offer. In that risk taking and exploration, you might just stumble upon your calling in life.Jillian Allen, Director of Business Development of Brightstone Transitions, had no idea that psychology and the mental health space was even an option to explore in school, but she was able to stumble upon it by exploring options throughout her journey.

All the noise and opinions surrounding any given person in this world can become so loud to the point where extreme overwhelm and mental paralysis can occur. “Do this. Take this route. Go to this college. Take this course. Stay on this path.” Before you know it, you don't even know what you're passionate about, what you love to do—who you really are. You might even start to lose sight of a sense of purpose for yourself.Bekah Puccia, the youngest of four in her family, was the first to drift away from the main career path the majority of her family took, leaving her with a stressful weight on her shoulders. She was able to acquire a bachelor's degree in writing from the University of New York, which she now uses purely as a hobby. She began to find her true path when she decided to get away from her hometown to be a wilderness guide in a young adult program, in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Her personal experiences and many roles in programs over the years ultimately formed her vision for the Ember Lodge Recovery Community For Women. She now owns and operates Ember Lodge along with its sister program, the Cairn Outpatient Program, and is a drug and alcohol counselor herself. Happily married, with a beautiful family, and doing all she loves, Bekah finds herself in one of the most enjoyable times of her life, thus far.On this episode of Success is Subjective, Bekah joins Joanna to share her story of her challenging journey through college and how she managed to finally find her true purpose, that she finds sincere passion and fulfillment in. She is a true example that it's okay to not have everything figured out, for as long as it might take.

You've heard me express time and again that college will never give you all the skills you need to succeed, but it's rare that you hear it from a professor himself.

How did you get into sales?DT:Desperation.  Sold books door to door to work my way through college. Went to Colgate university in 1976 and didn’t have a lot of money, couldn’t go back sophomore year unless he made $5K. Southwestern Corporation, Nashville, TN. As long as I can make $5 grand, I’m in! Incredible sales experience.  COMMISSION ONLY! Sent to Bellingham, WA.  95% of people quit. I couldn’t quit because I didn’t have enough money to get back home.  I had to consult with bank Presidents to gas station attendants and it was a fantastic introduction to the sales process. We read Tommy Hopkins and learned consultative selling. I was a slow percolator and it took me a while to get it.  I was out in the field 2 weeks and I was scared, would fumble through stuff and didn’t have high confidence. A lady took me in, gave me a cookie as I stumbled through my sales pitch and said SHE WOULD BUY!

Whitney Hanson is one of six children. Growing up she watched her father start a business, watched it fail, and watched him turn destructive, eventually leaving her mother to raise six kids on her own - all while making $7.25 an hour.Whitney has seen the ugly side of money - and what can happen when you have none - and decided she wanted no part of it. Money equals options, and she wanted as many options as she could get! She began to research how to build wealth, because she did not want to perpetuate the cycle of poverty. She knew she wanted to go to college, but also knew she’d have to find a way to pay for it. Rather than taking out tons of student loans, Whitney went through a 3-month cosmetology program starting the day after she graduated high school, and used the money she made as a nail technician to pay for college. Because she values financial stability over everything else, she bought a house when she turned 19 - and house hacked by renting two rooms to friends to help with the mortgage. Upon graduating college, she realized she had taken out $30,000 in student loans that now had to be paid back. Rather than allow it to rule her life, she cut out everything and worked a second job in order to knock out her debt - in 10 months!Whitney knew she had figured out how to lead a healthy financial life - and was eager to help others solve their own financial struggles. She started a coaching program to help financially empower people, and help them navigate the beginning stages of their financial journey.Whitney’s story is 100% repeatable for anyone listening. She came from nothing, and made it on her own.In This Episode We Cover:Whitney's journey with moneyDifference between a want and a needHer personal financial situation during highschoolWhat her job is while she's studying collegeThe reason why she bought a house at 19 years oldWhitney's tips for studentsTalking about scholarshipsOn her adulting momentHer ways on how she paid off her debtHer journey in creating a business during her MBA programTalking about her cashflowBiggest challenges that people are facing who she talk with about financesAnd SO much more!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Money Facebook GroupBiggerPockets Money Podcast 64 with Zach GautierBiggerPockets Money Podcast 80 with Rich and RegularBiggerPockets Money Podcast 112 with Natalie KolodijBiggerPockets Money Podcast 111 with A Purple MomPersonal CapitalXY Planning NetworkThe Money Nerds Podcast 13 with Mindy JensenThe Money Nerds Podcast 37 with Mindy Jensen

Jen Hemphill was born in Colombia and lived there for the first eight years of her life. The economy was really bad, and her earliest memories were of a scary time when her educated father did whatever he had to do to make money.Her redheaded dad stood out in Colombia, and it wasn’t a safe place for him to be. So, they moved to the U.S. Jen remembers being embarrassed for not having money, knowing her friends had it.She attended the same college where her mother was a professor. Discounted tuition coupled with scholarships and a bit of parental help allowed her to graduate with no debt. She bought a car, paid it off quickly, and felt very proud of herself for doing so.Then, she met and married her husband. They took 15 years to pay off his $40,000 in student loan debt. She thought they were doing great, but a deeper look at their finances about 10 years in revealed a huge mess.Thinking back to her childhood, she realized she needed to make big changes in order to get ahead. Her family went on a budget, cutting out all unnecessary spending to focus on paying off the debt. Jen uses a series of labeled bank accounts to ensure they stick to their budget and now saves for purchases rather than raiding the emergency fund to pay for things.Jen took what she learned and became an Accredited Financial Counselor, knowing that there are so many others who need to be pointed in the correct direction.

Pardon the Mess is sponsored by BetterHelp.It's not often you get to interview a college kid about growing up as a Christian. The Stites are family friends of ours and a family we admire and respect so very much. I am often asking them for advice since they are ahead of the game by a few years. Today's episode is a chat with their son, Campbell, who is studying political science at Texas A&M University. He has always been a leader and I have absolutely loved watching God grow his faith during his first year in college. He's making some wise choices that we can all learn from.My favorite part of the episode is when he encourages parents to get interested in their child's interests. He shares about how his mom invested in his interests and helped foster a super close mom/son relationship. In this episode we discuss:How to make faith a priority in collegeThe power of friends and your circleHow to let boys have freedom vs controlling themThe gift of allowing your teens to failConnect with Pardon The Mess:Christian ParentingPardon The Mess Courtney DeFeoResources from today's show:Moms, Dads, and Grads Gift GuidePardon the Mess is sponsored by BetterHelp.Our Sponsors:* Check out Armoire and use my code MESS for a great deal: http://www.armoire.style* Check out BetterHelp : betterhelp.com/MESS* Visit HomeThreads.com/MESS today and get a 15% off code for your first order!Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
