When a parent sends their retirement savings to someone they met online, learn how to help them recover – without letting it happen again. What do you do when a parent has spent most of their retirement savings on a romantic partner they've never met? Hosts Sean Pyles, CFP®, and Elizabeth Ayoola help from a listener whose father, in his 70s, drained his retirement accounts and ran up massive credit card debt paying someone he met on OnlyFans. Sean shares what happened when his own father lost $150,000 to a crypto scheme while isolated during the pandemic, and Elizabeth talks about being scammed herself and her mother handing money to a stranger promising crypto returns. They get into the shame that keeps victims silent, the chat agencies that mean the person answering may not be the person in the photos, the red flags that show up before money moves, and why a parent who's lonely is a target long before they're a victim. Plus, we talk with an economics professor about the Federal Reserve's decision this week to hike a key interest rate, and what it could mean for your loans and savings accounts.  If you're worried a parent is being scammed, you can access free guidance at the AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline.  Enter for a chance to win a $250 Amazon gift card — and help us improve our show — by taking our listener survey!

Amazon 4 months of Audible for $.99/mo. (affiliate) - https://milestomemories.com/audible-subscription-offer-prime-day-2026/ Shawn's personal inKind referral - https://milestomemories.com/go/inkind-referral/ Shawn walked into a Chase branch to withdraw money and walked into every points person's nightmare: account locked, suspicious activity, and a phone tree with no humans in it. What follows is the full anatomy of a lockout, from the banker with the super secret number to the moment Shawn nearly handed him the fake World of Hyatt credit card that has been living in his wallet for years. That spirals into the security conversation we all need to have: password managers and passkeys, the scams hitting travelers abroad, why your debit card should never leave your wallet, and the shutdown anxiety that makes every declined charge feel personal. Then two deals worth your time: Audible at 99 cents a month for four months ahead of Prime Day, and the Target stack that gets inKind gift cards down near 68 percent off, beating even Costco. What is your worst locked-account story, and how do you keep yourself secure? Let us know in the comments.

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast host Troy Trewin interviews Jellaine Dee, founder of Mogul Methods, shares how she built Cherry Blooms from weekend markets into a $10M business in just three years. She started with $90K in credit card debt, selling her wardrobe and using grants and export finance to fund growth. Jellaine expanded into the U.S., securing distribution across all 50 states and Canada and growing her team to around 12 people. She eventually sold Cherry Blooms to private equity and now helps other brands get products onto retail shelves and expand internationally. Her journey highlights resilience, showing up, smart funding, continuous learning, and building a business that creates freedom and impact.

Spoiler: neither one is helping your budget quite the way you think it is. First, we're talking about what happens when you're trying to get out of debt but you're still swiping the cards for points, convenience, or because that's simply how you've always managed your money. One client had already consolidated $68,000 in credit card debt and was still using a card because of the rewards. And budget besties… if the points strategy were working, the debt probably wouldn't be there.Getting out of debt isn't only about moving balances around or making bigger payments. It's about changing the habits that created the cycle in the first place. That means learning to spend the money you actually have, creating a budget you can follow, and getting on the same page with your spouse instead of one person trying to control the entire financial plan.We also talk about how to have those money conversations without turning your relationship into a parent-child dynamic. Make time for the conversation, ask questions, and then—this is the hard part—stop talking long enough to hear what your spouse actually thinks. You might be surprised by what the two of you can agree on when the conversation isn't happening five minutes before bed or in the middle of a stressful money moment.Then we tackle the famous third paycheck. If you're paid every other week, there are usually two months each year when three paychecks land in the same month. Fun? Yes. Free money? Not exactly.That month also includes two additional weeks of groceries, gas, spending money, and everyday life. So instead of thinking, “Woohoo, bonus paycheck!” think, “Okay, this is a six-week budget.” Once those extra weeks of spending are covered, then you can intentionally decide what the remaining money should do—fund savings buckets, move a goal forward, or give your budget some breathing room.Let's Take Our Relationship To The Next Level:1️⃣ Facebook Group ➡︎ budgetbesties.com/facebook2️⃣ Be on the Podcast ➡︎ budgetbesties.com/livecall3️⃣ Private 1-on-1 Coaching. ➡︎ budgetbesties.com/coachingThis podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not personal financial, legal, or tax advice.This description may contain affiliate links, meaning we may get a commission at no cost to you if you click & purchase.Click here to view our privacy policy.

We spend a lot of time talking about how to simplify, systematize, automate, and streamline our businesses—but what about our lives outside of work? After sharing that I recently flew my family to South Africa and back in upgraded seats for mostly free, I got flooded with questions about how I had accumulated so many miles. The answer isn't complicated travel hacking or a spreadsheet filled with credit cards. In this episode, I'm sharing my “easy button” approach to free travel: a simple, mostly automated system that helps me earn points, score travel perks, and save money without turning any of it into another job.In this episode you will learn:How I use SkyKey to automatically find lower fares and get money or miles back after I've already booked a flight.My simple strategy for using companion passes and credit card spending to cover more of my family's flights.How I “double dip” with Uber, SkyMiles Dining, shopping portals, and everyday spending to earn points with minimal effort.How I keep my entire system simple by giving each credit card a specific job for business expenses, personal spending, and travel.This episode isn't about perfectly optimizing every point or becoming a travel-hacking expert. It's about finding your version of the 80/20—using simple systems and automation to get more of the benefits you want without adding more work to your life. Whether your preferred combination is Delta and Marriott or completely different airlines and hotels, the goal is the same: find what works, keep it simple, and use the margin you've worked so hard to create to actually enjoy your life.READ THE BLOG HERE! Register for the Quin x Efficient Advisor Show & Tell HERE!Check out The First 100 Days Course: The Advisor's Blueprint for a Remarkable Client Experience HERE!Learn more about T2MWorks HERE!

Erik Torenberg is joined by a16z General Partner Alex Rampell and Affirm Co-Founder and CEO Max Levchin for a conversation on 25 years of fintech, from the early days of digital payments to the origins of Affirm and the next generation of agentic commerce.Max and Alex revisit what surprised them most about how payments evolved, why the card interface has been so difficult to displace, and why even the smallest corners of payments can become enormous markets. They also trace the early idea maze behind Affirm, from "pay with your identity" and the pajama problem to the realization that installment financing could dramatically increase merchant conversion.The conversation also gets into real versus "fake" 0% financing, what people misunderstand about Affirm today, why negative customer acquisition cost can be such a powerful business model advantage, and why Max is more bullish on agentic payments than on agents choosing what people buy.Resources:Follow Max Levchin on X: https://x.com/mlevchinFollow Alex Rampell on X: https://x.com/arampell Stay Updated:Find a16z on YouTube: YouTubeFind a16z on XFind a16z on LinkedInListen to the a16z Show on SpotifyListen to the a16z Show on Apple PodcastsFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

What if the “responsible” thing you're doing with your debt is actually making your situation worse?This week, Steve Rhode and Damon Day dig into one of the strangest realities of credit card debt: your bank may refuse to offer meaningful help until you've already fallen behind.That creates a brutal trap. People raid savings, drain retirement accounts, and keep making payments they can't afford—all because missing a payment feels irresponsible. Then, once the money is gone and the payments finally stop, the creditor suddenly has hardship programs, settlement options, and different departments willing to talk.Steve and Damon explain why.In this episode:• Why calling your credit card company too early can sometimes work against your larger plan• What really changes when you're 30, 60, or more days behind• Why different departments at the same bank can give completely different answers• How creditors use delinquency as a signal that your hardship is real• Why protecting your credit score shouldn't necessarily be your top priority during a financial crisis• The danger of draining savings or retirement accounts just to remain current• Why debt settlement negotiations depend heavily on timing• How something you say to a creditor today could complicate negotiations later• Why simply threatening bankruptcy isn't the negotiating weapon people think it is• And why you should have a strategy before you start calling creditors or stop making paymentsDamon also shares a frustrating $50 credit card dispute that illustrates another lesson: not all credit cards provide the same customer experience when something goes wrong. Steve explains why he avoids using debit cards for purchases when a credit card can provide an additional layer between a disputed transaction and the cash sitting in your checking account.And near the end, Steve and Damon preview next week's discussion: How much should parents financially sacrifice for their adult children? College, co-signing loans, weddings, bailouts, retirement, inheritances, and the nearly impossible question of what's “fair” between siblings.The big takeaway from this episode isn't “stop paying your credit cards.”It's this:Don't make major debt decisions based solely on guilt, morality, fear of your credit score, or assumptions about how creditors work. Understand the game, know the consequences, and build a strategy first.Need help figuring out your own debt strategy?

Send us Fan MailCasap was the best of show winner at Finovate fall 2025 and its business is this: building AI Agents for Disputes ‍and Fraud resolution and it now has 50+ clients that it won with attention grabbing claims: Resolve claims in minutes, not weeks. Earn lasting loyalty. Cut fraud losses.This is a universe undergoing immense change, mainly due to the rise of so-called first party fraud which has surged globally. This is in contradistinction to third party fraud and that of course is when a third party has hijacked another's credit card or debit card and made fraudulent purchases.First party fraud is when the cardholder denies the legitimacy of a charge he or she in fact actually made.What? You go out on a date.  It's a bad date.  With a bad meal that you put on your credit card and when you see that charge pop up on your statement you call the issuer and say, wasn't me.And card issuers are struggling to contain and minimize this first party fraud.Which is where Casap enters.On the show are Shanthi Shanmugam, CEO of Casap, and Rob Keatts, EVP of Chartway Federal Credit Union in Virginia, a $3.1 billion institution. The show opens with only Rob on the line and we take advantage of that to ask him to tell the whole truth about the pain point that prompted Chartway to bring Casap on board and how it was working with a startup - and understand Chartway was Casap's second customer!Of course Shanthi joins a few minutes later and she'll tell you what you need to know about containing credit card and debit card fraud - and how agentic AI, Casap's forte, makes the process work more smoothly.Filene seconds that motion, as noted in this press release headline: Chartway Credit Union Saved an Estimated $875K in One Year, Testing a Fraud Dispute Automation Fintech.Shanthi by the way is a return guest.  She stars in Episode 359 and Casap has taken huge strides in the year since.  Its client count is now 50+ and she has enormous ambition for what she believes the AI agents Casap is building can accomplish.Listen up.Like what you are hearing?

On this episode of CFO at Home, Vince talks with David Kennington, an author with 30+ years experience working as a tradesman, about trades as a viable path to making and building wealth, David explains how credit cards and lifestyle creep can quickly push tradespeople beyond their means, and notes that trades and technical training often include little financial education, making discipline and understanding the psychological side of spending crucial. They also discuss emotional attachments that drive bad financial choices, the role of spouses and clear communication in correcting ·financial misbehavior,· and how overtime or higher-paying jobs can help pay down debt only if intentionally paired with a plan.

After losing her mother and husband while facing a serious health crisis within her family, she decided to create MacroGreens—a nutritional greens supplement developed with holistic nutrition expert Dr. Edward Wagner. With no established customers and no traditional bank willing to finance an unfamiliar product category, Sylvia relied on resourcefulness, careful financial planning, and relentless persistence to get started.She explains how chiropractors became her first customers, why product samples helped MacroLife Naturals earn trust, and how she built demand through independent retailers and Whole Foods before approaching major distributors. Sylvia also shares how a professional business plan eventually helped her move beyond credit cards and secure traditional bank financing.Beyond the numbers, this conversation explores the mindset required to survive the difficult early years of entrepreneurship. Sylvia reveals the three principles that guided her journey—persistence, preparation, and positive thinking—and explains why helping people live healthier lives remains more important to her than revenue.If you're launching a consumer product, building a supplement brand, or trying to grow without outside investors, this episode offers an inspiring look at what can happen when a founder combines a meaningful mission with the determination to keep moving forward.In today's episode of the Harvest Growth Podcast, we cover:How Sylvia launched MacroLife Naturals with only 250 bottlesWhy she used 17 credit cards to finance the company's early growthHow she found her first customers through an existing professional networkWhy sampling remained one of MacroLife Naturals' strongest marketing strategiesHow building demand with independent retailers opened the door to larger distributorsThe importance of creating a professional business plan before approaching banksSylvia's three principles for overcoming entrepreneurial challengesHow personal experiences can create confidence in a product and its missionWhy persistence and preparation matter more than having the perfect backgroundHow focusing on helping customers can fuel long-term business growthAnd so much more!Want to connect with Sylvia?Visit MacroLifeNaturals.com to explore MacroGreens, Miracle Reds, and the complete line of MacroLife Naturals products.

Welcome back to Fraudology.Since I've been back from SardineCon, I've thought about how much faster and cheaper AI is making fraud. That thread runs through basically everything I'm covering today. I'm digging into a new report from Inscribe showing a 4X increase in AI generated documents. I'll walk through the difference between a document that's built entirely by AI and one that's a real document with AI alterations. Because they are not the same problem.Then we will go deep on a digital arrest scam, and this is the one I really want you to sit with. Frank McKenna has been predicting digital arrests would hit the US for almost a year. I found a first person account from a woman who got a call claiming to be from her local sheriff's department. What happened to her over the next several hours is genuinely hard to listen to. I think this is one every fraud fighter needs to be able to explain to the people in their own life who aren't in this industry.Along the way, I'm covering a case out of Spain where a man was arrested for using deepfakes to get past identify verification checks, a new report on Grok deepfakes, and a study out of UMass on zombie credit cards. Which is a real NFC fraud loophole. It's a lot but stick with me.What you'll hear:A quick recap of SardineCon 2026 and why AI was the theme of nearly every conversation I had thereInscribe's new fraud report showing a 4X increase in AI generated documents, and why bank statement fraud, fake invoices, and fake pay stubs make up more than half of what they're catchingThe difference between AI generated documents and AI altered ones, and why the altered ones are actually harder to catchHow synthetic identity fraud and first party fraud both show up in lending fraud, even when the person applying is realA case out of Spain where deepfakes almost got a man through identity verification, until a one second glitch gave him awayA new report on Grok deepfakes and what it means that one platform is tied to the majority of tracked incidentsA UMass study on zombie credit cards and the NFC fraud loophole that can bring expired cards back to lifeThe full, first person story of a digital arrest scam, including the jury duty scam call, someone impersonating law enforcement, a bond scam demand, and a PayPal fraud payment that couldn't be undoneYou should listen to this episode if you:Want to understand what a digital arrest scam actually sounds like from the insideAre in lending, underwriting, or KYC and need to know how bank statement fraud and fake pay stubs are evolvingWant to know the real difference between synthetic identity fraud and first party fraudHave family members who don't work in fraud and need a real example to help them recognize a jury duty scam or someone impersonating law enforcementAre tracking deepfakes and want to know where Grok deepfakes fit into the bigger pictureProcess card not present or in person transactions and haven't heard about the zombie credit card loophole yet

In Today's Episode: Host: Brandon Elliott,  https://zez.am/brandonelliottinvestments Guest: Dustin Rosenberg & Jonathan Yoo Over $3.4 Billion Funded in REI Loans | Ready, Set, Go! Podcast Welcome back to the Ready, Set, Go! Real Estate Investing Podcast with your host, Brandon Elliott! In this episode of the Ready, Set, Go! Real Estate Investing Podcast, host Brandon Elliott sits down with Dustin Rosenberg & Jonathan Yoo Dustin and Jonathan are the co-owners of Convoy Home Loans, a lending business they launched in early 2021. Since starting their business, they have already funded a staggering $3.4 billion in real estate volume. They manage a robust team of about 53 to 55 staff members, which includes roughly 27 to 28 loan officers and 15 processors. Despite running the entire operation, both founders lead by example as top producers who still actively originate loans and handle their own clients. A massive 90% to 95% of the loans they originate are dedicated specifically to real estate investors. Their bread and butter is DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans. About 70% of their investor portfolio consists of DSCR or 30-year fixed alternative loans (like bank statement or asset depletion loans), while the remaining 30% covers typical fix-and-flips, buy-and-holds, and ground-up builds. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ Resourceful Links:  How To Get Up To $500,000 Every 6 Months At 0%: https://www.creditcounselelite.com/ Get Your Most Accurate Credit Report:https://myfreescorenow.com/enroll/?AID=COUNSELELITELLC&PID=18983 Best Credit Cards: https://milevalue.com/best-credit-cards/?aff=cce Free Credit Education Resources: https://creditcounselelite.com/articles Guide to Taking Massive Action: https://amzn.to/2IZMN8Z LEARN MORE CLICK HERE: https://www.creditcounselelite.com/fb-start-here ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ Meet Your Host, Brandon:  Brandon Elliott went from being off track finding himself on house arrest and burning 40% of his body to getting on track reaching $8.5 million in Assets and being acknowledged part of the "Top 100 Yahoo Finance" by using Credit Cards to buy small multi-family and scaling his businesses using the exact strategies taught in Credit Counsel Elite (CCE).

Most people dread PCS season for how much it drains the bank account — Jared flips it into a $7,500 payday. Back on the show, the host of the Military Miler podcast breaks down the exact moves he used moving his family from Italy to Japan: circuitous travel memos, leave in conjunction with official travel, stacking credit card credits, and pocketing thousands in COLA and utilities along the way. But this one goes deeper than travel hacking — it's a candid conversation about budgeting overseas, why your savings rate should bend to your values, and the trap of chasing financial independence so hard you forget to live. Practical tactics up front, real talk about "enjoying the ride" on the back half. Questions Asked: What's the strategy you're using to plus up your bank account before your next OCONUS assignment? Why did your chief recommend NOT going TDY en route, and how does transient BAH factor in? How does circuitous travel work, and how much does the Air Force reimburse per person? How do programs like LICWO (Leave in Conjunction with Official Travel) and circuitous travel actually save families money? What credit card moves are you stacking to get reimbursed for flights, fees, and pet travel? Living OCONUS, have you found any apps, tips, or systems that help track expenses and stick to a budget? Why did you switch from YNAB to Monarch Money, and what won you over? How do you handle irregular overseas bills, currency exchange, and fuel cards when budgeting? Which credit cards make sense overseas (foreign transaction fees, Visa/Mastercard acceptance)? How do you decide between living on base vs. off base — and paying above your BAH? What do you give up by chasing an extremely high savings rate, and is there a better balance? Where can people find you and what are you working on? Main Topics Covered: Turning a PCS into a profit: banking ~$2,500/month in saved COLA and utilities for a ~$7,500 net gain Circuitous travel and LICWO explained — and getting a $4,500-per-person reimbursement memo "The squeaky wheel gets the grease" — advocating for better travel options instead of accepting the worst flights Keeping family in a higher-BAH location, SCRA lease breaks, and shipping goods early to save Reducing the PCS burden on your spouse as part of the service member's job Credit card strategy: airline fee credits (Amex Platinum, Ritz-Carlton), Sapphire Reserve travel credits, and getting cat/pet fees reimbursed Budgeting overseas: YNAB vs. Monarch Money, auto-categorization, and creating spending rules Handling irregular utility bills, delayed charges, currency swings, and fuel cards abroad Building a bigger emergency fund and "don't spend your utility money" advice for new OCONUS airmen Foreign transaction fees — why annual-fee cards (waived for active duty) and Visa/Mastercard win overseas Weekly money meetings and aligning spending with your values (h/t Rebel Finance School, Ramit Sethi) Using points and miles to fly family in, book cheap intra-Asia trips, and buy "free" wants (Sonos speakers) A real-world redemption: 27,000 Alaska points + $150 vs. $1,600 cash for family flights Seasons of military life — the adventure vs. community continuum, and choosing per assignment The FIRE trap: why "sacrifice everything now" is shortsighted, and enjoying the ride to financial independence Bonus: Japanese microvans and minivans (Honda N-Box, Toyota Alphard, Delica) and the weak yen Links & Resources Mentioned: Military Miler podcast (YouTube and all podcast platforms) militarytravelrewards.com Monarch Money https://www.monarch.com/ (referral link for ~50% off first year) https://www.monarch.com/referral?code=iqj4r4ixad  Military Money Manual mentorship — militarymoneymanual.com/mentor Referenced first appearance: Military Money Manual episode 217 Spencer and Jamie offer one-on-one Military Money Mentor sessions.

In this episode of In The Weeds, Bobby gets into everything from getting humbled by Pat Monahan of Train to the ridiculous amount of credit card points he’s been sitting on. He talks about the strange requests he gets to connect friends with celebrities, why he thinks everyone in radio should be investing in themselves, and the lengths competitors have gone to figure out how to beat his show. Bobby also shares his thoughts on the current podcast landscape, the hosts he actually enjoys listening to, and one interview habit that drives him crazy. Plus, he opens up about being jealous of his daughter’s nursery, why having her own room hits something deeper from his childhood, and what he really means when he tells the Weedeaters to “stay weedy.” Follow on Instagram: @TheBobbyCast Follow on TikTok: @TheBobbyCastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you think winning the lottery is the only way to achieve financial independence, think again! The Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) movement has shifted drastically over the years in the wake of inflation, rising housing costs, and healthcare challenges, but the core principle of FI is more relevant today than ever. Clark shares his own journey—including retiring at 31 and  starting his first business by living on half his income—to show you how living on less than you make can buy you ultimate freedom. Also, are you really getting a discount, or are retailers just playing mind games? Clark exposes how major stores—especially in clothing and online marketplaces like Amazon—artificially inflate original prices just to mark them back down. Learn how to spot deceptive pricing tricks, use historic price-tracking tools, and resist psychological sales traps so you never get ripped off again. Plus, Christa shares your #AskClark questions and Clark gives his take. All this and more on the August 19, 2026, episode of The Clark Howard Show. Submit your opinions or questions: Ask Clark.
