Podcasts about making ends meet

They say that crisis reveals character, and for a brief moment, the pandemic revealed surprising financial resilience.Many Americans experienced a rare financial reset during that season, as savings rose and debt declined. But five years later, much of that progress has unraveled. Dr. Shane Enete joins us to unpack what changed—and how believers can respond faithfully in a culture gripped by renewed financial anxiety.Dr. Shane Enete is an Associate Professor of Finance at Biola University and founded the Biola Center for Financial Planning. He is also the author of the book Whole Heart Finances: A Jesus-Centered Guide to Managing Your Money with Joy.The Unexpected Silver Lining of the PandemicWhen the COVID-19 pandemic brought life to a standstill, something surprising happened with our money. Instead of overspending, many Americans buckled down.Research from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and the U.S. Government Accountability Office showed that people used pandemic stimulus checks to reduce credit card balances and cut spending. Simultaneously, emergency fund levels rose to 20-year highs.With fewer opportunities to spend and greater economic vulnerability, people embraced margin, paid down debt, and began saving like never before. It was a rare moment of collective financial wisdom.The Return to Old HabitsBut that moment didn't last.Fast-forward to today, and the picture looks far less encouraging. Credit card debt has now surpassed $1 trillion, and six in ten Americans are uncomfortable with their emergency savings, up from just 37% before the pandemic.The decline in financial well-being is measurable. According to the CFPB's 2024 Making Ends Meet survey, the average financial well-being score dropped from 55 to 49. This score reflects how confident households feel about meeting basic expenses, like paying bills and putting food on the table.Even more concerning: over one in three Americans now carry more credit card debt than they have saved. And 42% say they couldn't go even one month without income before falling behind.Why It Matters for ChristiansSo, what's going on? Why the backslide? The answer lies not just in behavior but also in belief.Fear takes over when Jesus isn't present in our financial decisions. We start believing that we have to carry the full weight of financial responsibility. But Scripture reminds us that we have a good Father and a faithful Shepherd who provides for His children.As believers, we're called to live differently—to manage God's resources with wisdom, margin, and generosity. This begins with a mindset shift from ownership to stewardship.Many people dread the word “budget”, but we should really see this through a new lens. If budgeting is about tracking God's provision—your daily bread, your shelter, your gas money—then it becomes an act of gratitude. It's a moment to declare God's goodness.”By embracing this spiritual practice, we open a line of communication with the Lord about our finances. Budgeting isn't just math. It's discipleship.Your Next Step Toward StewardshipWhere do you begin if you want to live this way?Start simple and track your spending. Shine a light on your habits without judgment. What you illuminate can be transformed. Ephesians 5:13 says, “But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.”Using tools like the FaithFi app can help you begin this journey. And remember, you don't have to walk it alone.Living within your means, avoiding debt, and giving generously stand out in a culture of consumption. They testify to the Spirit's work in our lives, especially the fruit of self-control.When believers manage money wisely, they display a beautiful trait of the Holy Spirit. They model a life that's free, sustainable, and others-focused—the kind of financial light the world desperately needs.To read Dr. Enete's full article in the latest issue of our quarterly magazine, Faithful Steward, become a FaithFi Partner today with a gift of $35 a month or $400 a year.

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'” - Matthew 25:40Some exciting things are happening that will give you more ways to help “the least of these” in God's Kingdom. Brian Holtz joins us today with details about how we can all have the greatest impact in helping those in need.Brian Holtz is the CEO of Compass Financial Ministry and the author of Financial Discipleship for Families: Intentionally Raising Faithful Children.A Call to Reach the MarginsWhen it comes to helping families in financial crisis, good intentions aren't always enough. Real transformation requires more than quick fixes—it takes relationships, discipleship, and time. That's the heart behind Making Ends Meet, a small group video study from Compass Financial Ministry designed to equip churches and communities to walk with struggling families toward lasting financial health.Most financial ministries have historically focused on middle—and upper-income families, but Compass felt God pushing them to address those with no financial margin at all—those who aren't just managing poorly but truly don't have enough income to meet basic needs.In response, Compass partnered with ministries that specialize in serving low-income families to learn the unique challenges these households face, many of which go far beyond budgeting.Why Money Alone Isn't EnoughSimply giving money doesn't create lasting change. It may provide short-term relief, but study after study shows that injecting money into poverty doesn't solve the deeper problem.That's not a reason to stop giving—it's a reason to start giving differently.Jesus didn't just heal people and walk away. He invited them to follow Him. That's the model we need to follow—combining financial help with relational investment.When someone is experiencing financial hardship, it's often not just a matter of dollars and cents—it's about identity, family history, and deeply ingrained beliefs. That's why true transformation requires more than a checkbook; it requires presence.When we invest relationally, we gain credibility. That allows us to speak into someone's life in a way that supports their heart and habits.Understanding the Emotional BarriersOne of the surprising lessons Compass learned during the development of Making Ends Meet is how emotional the journey out of poverty can be.Many poor communities are deeply interdependent. They share what they have and support each other in powerful ways, like the early church in Acts.But when someone begins to move toward financial stability, it can create fear: Will I lose my community if I start to thrive? Will I be accepted if I have more than those around me?This anxiety can be paralyzing, which is why patience and prayer are so critical. These are generational challenges. They won't be overcome overnight, but change is possible with consistent love and support.Learn More and Get InvolvedThe beauty of Making Ends Meet is its simplicity. You don't need to be a financial expert to use it. If you care about people and are willing to walk with them, the study provides a step-by-step framework to break cycles of poverty and help families build a new mindset.This is for anyone already serving in their community through their church, a shelter, or a mentoring ministry. Compass provides the tools to make that investment more effective.To explore how you or your church can use Making Ends Meet, visit CompassFinancialMinistry.org. Whether you're looking to lead a group or come alongside a struggling neighbor, this resource is designed to equip you to serve with compassion and wisdom.Helping others financially isn't just about generosity—it's about discipleship. When we combine truth, love, and time, God can do amazing things.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:How do I get banks to produce my bank statements further back than the seven-year period usually required to keep records? I need bank statements from 10-15 years ago because I believe fraud or theft has occurred.My boyfriend is 62 and is about to receive profit-sharing money in two weeks after he took an early retirement from his job. He wants to put the money in his checking account or keep it in his man cave. I don't know how to get anything lined up for him or what to tell him to change his mind.I would like to send a charitable donation to my church directly from my IRA. I have the RMD forms, but I don't understand them. I don't know what to do by myself and don't want to make a mistake.I'm trying to withdraw some equity from my house, and I'm wondering what you think of a HELOC or an HEI.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Compass Financial MinistryMaking Ends Meet Video StudyWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

A Kansas State University publication, When Your Income Drops: Making Ends Meet, discusses five “C's” – Control, Claim, Communicate, Confer, and Change – that can help when income decreases, or becomes uncertain, but the bills remain the same. K-State professor and Extension family resource management specialist, Elizabeth Kiss, (kish) author of the updated publication, says making ends meet under those circumstances often requires many changes and adjustments and that reducing expenses can be a major change. Sound Living is a weekly public affairs program addressing issues related to families and consumers. It is hosted by Jeff Wichman. Each episode shares the expertise of K-State specialists in fields such as child nutrition, food safety, adult development and aging, youth development, family resource management, physical fitness and more.

“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” – Proverbs 27:17Despite living in an era of unprecedented wealth, many individuals and families struggle to meet basic needs like food and shelter. Today, Brian Holtz joins us to discuss a new resource aimed at helping communities in need. Brian Holtz is the CEO of Compass Financial Ministry and the author of Financial Discipleship for Families: Intentionally Raising Faithful Children.A New Focus: Addressing Financial HardshipNavigating financial challenges can be overwhelming, especially for those who struggle to make ends meet. While many financial ministries focus on middle- and upper-income groups, Compass Financial Ministry has taken a bold step to address the needs of those with little to no financial margin. Their latest initiative—Making Ends Meet—is a resource designed to help individuals and families move from financial struggle to stability.Key Takeaways from the ResearchMany of the financial issues we associate with low-income communities aren't unique to them. The same challenges exist in middle- and upper-income households—they just look different.What are these key financial challenges? Three primary takeaways from Compass' research are critical for financial health, regardless of income level.1. A Simpler Approach to BudgetingStarting a budget is often the most challenging part of managing finances. That's why this new resource introduces a simplified spending plan:Step 1: At the beginning of the month, pay all essential bills (giving, rent/mortgage, food, utilities, etc.).Step 2: Transfer savings into a separate account.Step 3: Use the remaining money for non-essentials (entertainment, clothing, eating out, etc.).This method isn't as precise as traditional budgeting, but it's better to use an imperfect system than a perfect one that you never implement.2. The Power of an Emergency FundWe all know the importance of emergency savings, but it's even more crucial for those living paycheck to paycheck.Without an emergency fund, individuals often get trapped in a cycle of debt. But with a financial cushion, they can make wise financial choices and avoid unnecessary expenses.3. The Importance of a Support NetworkBuilding a strong financial support system is a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of financial stability, in addition to budgeting and saving.Money is a taboo topic in our society. We're embarrassed to talk about our struggles, but if we find trusted people to share with before emergencies happen, we create a network we can rely on—and they can rely on us. This network isn't just for financial help—it also provides emotional support, advice, and practical assistance when life's unexpected events occur.How You Can Get InvolvedFinancial hardship can feel isolating, but no one has to face it alone. With the right tools, support system, and biblical principles, it is possible to break free from financial struggle and find peace in stewardship.Making Ends Meet is one of the most impactful projects Compass has ever developed. It combines biblical wisdom with practical, step-by-step guidance, helping people transition from struggling to thriving. This resource is perfect for:Small groups at churchesLocal shelters and community centersFamilies and individuals seeking financial stabilityIt's available in English and Spanish, making it accessible to more communities in need.

I make about $700 a week, but the high interest rates make it hard to catch up. I contacted a company called National Debt Relief, but I wanted to get a second opinion before jumping into anything. How can I deal with this situation and find a way to lower the interest rates?We inherited land and plan to keep it in the family. Do we need to tithe on the value of the inherited property, even though we haven't realized the increase in cash?I'm 24 and deciding whether to buy a home instead of renting an apartment. I live at my parents' house, but I'd like to know the best steps to take to buy a home.Last year, the FBI warned against using a cell phone number for two-factor authentication because of security vulnerabilities. I ended up losing $5,000 using that method. Can you provide some guidance on how to protect my accounts better?I'm in my 60s and recently got a job that pays over $200,000 a year, much more than I need to live on. I only need about $30,000 to $40,000 per year. I'm unfamiliar with 401(k)s or IRAs, but I want to know how much I could contribute to those types of accounts to put away the excess money I don't need.I contributed $4,000 to my Roth IRA at the beginning of the year. I'm leaving my part-time job and about to retire at 62. What should I do if I've contributed more to the Roth IRA than I've earned in income? Should I withdraw the excess contribution, and are there any penalties I should be aware of?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineCompass Financial MinistryMaking Ends Meet (Compass Financial Ministry Video Study and Workbook)Google Authenticator (Apple | Google Play) | Authy Christian Credit CounselorsWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Making Ends Meet is a work from creator Sage Cannon. This project was part of Sage's Master of Fine Arts research at the University of Calgary. Sage had the privilege of working with three young adults who opened themselves up to a creative process and told her their lived experiences of poverty. Sage also includes her own experiences of poverty throughout childhood and adulthood in this project, and the work has been a process of community coming together to share stories. These creations teach us about how people react and talk about poverty and ultimately how we don't talk about it enough. It shines a light on people's vulnerability and storytelling. As one participant said when asked what they wish others knew about poverty, "It's not always extremes, there is always someone closer to you than you think." The reality of people's day-to-day experiences is in sharp contrast to the possibilities our futures can hold.   Vibrant Communities Calgary worked closely with Sage to bring these stories to you in different forms. Watch the animation and listen to the entire audio play – a collaboration with over 100 voices that are part of the Calgary community. While you listen, consider what actions you can take to build a future that has enough for everyone.

I've written about how people act like food coops don't work for people without resources like time and money or who have kids. It took me a long time to realize they didn't see food coops being started because the people starting them didn't have time or money and had kids. When my parents couldn't make ends meet, then after they divorced and struggled more to make ends meet, forming cooperative groups was their way out of poverty.Luckily nobody told them they couldn't do it! Likewise with the people behind Drew Gardens in the Bronx, Harlem Grown, my credit union, or countless other results of community organizing.I wrote about it in If you think food coops cost more or complain that some people don't have access to them, you don't know what you're talking about and are exacerbating the problem, but my mom was there. In this episode we talk about how they helped organize a group of families to save money and time to buy higher quality food. Later that group folded into Weavers Way coop, which is one of my favorite parts of my childhood. I didn't recognize it as such as a child, though. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode we consider the saying, “making ends meet”. It's a hundreds-of-years old saying that means to “get by” or “scrape by” or “make do”. Nelson said it best; if you don't conquer Parkinson's Law (spending more than you make) you will not be successful in your finances. There's a better way. YOU can become your own banker. If you have any topics you'd like to see covered, if you have any questions concerning this video or another or if you would like to request a webinar meeting to personally discuss how you can practice the Infinite Banking Concept as described in R.

2022 marks the 25th anniversary of the publication of Making Ends Meet: How Single Mothers Survive Welfare and Low Wage Work, by Kathryn Edin and Laura Lein. The book was based on interviews with low-income single moms that took place between the late 1980s and early 1990s. Edin and Lein detailed the women's household budgets, the strategies they used to support their families, and the unforgiving choice between welfare and low-wage work.  In this episode, we hear from Kathryn Edin about what she learned from talking to these mothers and about the changes in U.S. antipoverty policy in the 25 years since Making Ends Meet was published.  A transcript for the episode is available at https://www.irp.wisc.edu/resource/kathryn-edin-on-the-25th-anniversary-of-making-ends-meet/.

Making Ends Meet 

When you are thrust into the sole provider role for the first time in your life, even as you grieve the loss of the marriage you thought would last forever, all that matters in this moment is the kiddos and how you are going to make your new lives work well for them. This can look a lot of ways to a lot of different people. For Jill Blankenship, co-founder of OurDivorce.com DIY Divorce platform and co-producer of the new My Crazy Divorce Story Podcast, that meant going to work for herself. Annie will be interviewing Jill today about how she made it work so that you can know that you can too.Support the show (https://www.paypal.me/anniejallen)

8/15/2021 - Making Ends Meet - Book of Ruth - Dr. Mark Hitchcock

Synopsis: With more creditors than clients, the Fiona Buckingham Introduction Agency is struggling to make ends meet. Cheap do-it-yourself dating through newspaper Lonely Hearts columns has reduced the membership to almost single figures making it ever harder to match clients up. Even Fiona's secretary, two-finger typist Beverly is getting worried. Things start to look up when, within the space of two days, two new members join. Reluctant Trevor Hopkins, who likes spiders but prefers to sit downstairs on buses, has been sent along by his aging mother. The other new recruit, Brigadier Gregory Chadwick, a wealthy widower looking for solace, seems to take a shine to Fiona. Could Gregory be the answer to all Fiona's problems?
