Many people are hurting financially this holiday season. Things feel tight. This can lead many families to feel defeated and throw their arms in the air when it comes to creating memories for their kids. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses how memories are memories because they are memories…..period. Memories don't require a large financial investment to be valuable. Instead, all that's required is intentionality and creativity. Wherever you are financially this holiday season, don't let it hold you back from creating some of the best memories ever.

We invest, invest, invest, and invest some more, only to look at our numbers and get frustrated by little progress we've made. Sound familiar? It's common for people to experience immense frustration and fatigue about 10 years into their investing journey, sometimes leading to apathy….or quitting altogether. Did you know that $100,000 is 1/3 of the way to $1M? It sounds ridiculous, but it's true. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses why you're probably closer to your goals than you think, and if so, why it should only embolden you to keep fighting.Blog post about this topic (including the chart): https://www.travisshelton.com/blog/closer-than-you-thinkPodcast website: https://www.travisshelton.com/podcast Daily Blog: https://travisshelton.com/blog Subscribe to the Daily Blog: http://eepurl.com/gB07Ef Podcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/370457478238932 Travis's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travis_shelton_ Travis's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/travissheltonco/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCasnj17-bOl_CZ0Cb9czmyQTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meaning_over_money
We're all going to die. Yeah, morbid, we know. What will your obituary say about you? In today's episode, host Travis Shelton talks about the exercise of writing our own obituary. What do we want to be remembered for? What impact do we want to make on this world? How do we want the end of the story to read? Then, once we do that, we reverse engineer it; work our way backwards to fill in the gaps between today and when that obituary will be published. Yes, it's weird. But also, yes, it can be an impactful exercise to get to the core of what we're on this planet to do……then actually do it.

Whether you know it or not, there's a hidden force at play in your life. It's called recency bias. It's a phenomenon where we humans place too much emphasis on recent experiences when making decisions. It's present in all areas of our lives, but nowhere as impactful and prevalent as in our finances. We're notorious for allowing recent events and experiences to cloud our judgment and pollute our decision-making skills. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses how this impacts our financial lives, and ways we can combat it.

We're living in crazy times. Never before has our culture seemed so divided, so polarized. This sentiment also applies to businesses, unfortunately.

Buy low, sell, high, right? That's the motto when it comes to stock market investing. One problem: It doesn't work. It's nearly impossible to time the right moment to buy, and even if we get lucky, it's also nearly impossible to time the right moment to sell. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton shares a cautionary tale from one of his “expert” investor buddies. The costs of trying to game the market are severe, and unfortuantely, unfixable. Travis's friend might have lost $400,000 (spoiler!), but you don't have to. Let's learn from this mistake and make sure we handle our own investments with more wisdom, patience, and confidence.Podcast website: https://www.travisshelton.com/podcast Daily Blog: https://travisshelton.com/blog Subscribe to the Daily Blog: http://eepurl.com/gB07Ef Podcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/370457478238932 Travis's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travis_shelton_Travis's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/travissheltonco/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCasnj17-bOl_CZ0Cb9czmyQTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meaning_over_money
