Podcasts about Money Talk

In this episode, we tackle one of the biggest challenges modern families face: raising financially responsible kids in a world where everything feels more expensive. From rising gas prices and grocery bills to increasing tuition costs, we break down how today's global economy directly impacts your household budget—and what that means for the next generation.We begin by connecting the dots between global events and everyday expenses. From tariffs costing the average household $1,744.75 to how Middle East conflicts can influence food prices, this episode simplifies complex economic realities into practical insights. Research and economic data show that consumers have paid over $231.35 billion in tariffs—costs that quietly trickle down into daily life.Then, we shift the conversation to parenting and mindset. What does it mean to raise financially aware kids without creating fear around money? We explore the idea of scarcity vs. abundance thinking, unpack cultural conversations like “bougie” lifestyles and the “brokey” mindset, and discuss how financial habits are shaped early in life. Using real-world examples—including cautionary stories from pop culture—we highlight how money decisions can define long-term success or failure.Finally, we bring it back to practical parenting. From youth sports and social pressure to the power of saying “no,” this episode offers actionable ways to teach kids financial literacy, responsibility, and confidence. Because while we can't control the economy, we can control how we prepare our children to navigate it.

Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Dave Sandstrom John Sandstrom (with Max Hoelzl, Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (March 9-13, 2026) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday No major announcements Tuesday The National Association of Realtors said the pace of existing home sales rose 1.7% in February, though it was still behind the year-ago rate and around the lowest in more than 30 years. The trade group called demand “muted” as lower mortgage rates and rising wages combined to make housing more affordable than it has been since March 2022. The median sales price rose to $398,000, up 0.3% from February 2025, the 32nd consecutive increase. Wednesday The broadest measure of inflation stayed steady in February. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the Consumer Price Index rose 2.4% from February 2025, unadjusted for seasonality. That was the same rate as January and still above the Federal Reserve's long-term target of 2%. Shelter costs led the monthly uptick. Gas prices rose for the first time in three months — prior to subsequent spikes spurred by the Iran war. The core CPI, excluding volatile food and energy costs, was up 2.5% from the year before, also the same rate as January. Thursday The U.S. trade deficit narrowed by 25% in January to $54.5 billion. The Bureau of Economic Analysis said exports rose 5.5% from December, led by non-monetary gold and other precious metals, as well as computers and civilian aircraft. Imports shrank 0.7%, led by pharmaceuticals and automobiles. Since January 2025, the trade gap contracted by almost 58% as exports expanded 10% and imports fell 11%. The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims fell for the third time in four weeks, suggesting employers continue to be reluctant to let workers leave. According to data from the Labor Department, the four-week number was 41% below the 59-year average. More than 2.2 million individuals were receiving jobless benefits in the latest week, up 3.5% from the week before and down less than 1% from the year before. The Commerce Department said housing starts and building permits in January continued to track below their pre-COVID levels. Although the annual pace of housing starts rose 7% from December and 9.5% from January 2025, it has been below the pre-pandemic level for nearly two years. Building permits fell both from the month before and the year before. Meanwhile, the pace of houses under construction fell again, sinking 26% below their record pace in late 2022. Friday The U.S. economy grew slower than previously estimated at the end of 2025. The gross domestic product rose at an annual rate of 1.7% in the fourth quarter, down from a preliminary report of 2.4% and below the 4.4% pace in the third quarter. The Bureau of Economic Analysis blamed the downward revision on weaker consumer spending and private investments and greater declines in government spending and exports. Adjusted for Inflation, GDP grew 2.1% in 2025, the weakest since a 2.1% decline in 2020. In a possible sign of consumer restraint, personal spending fell slightly behind the pace of personal income in January, raising the personal savings rate to its highest level in six months. The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported a savings rate of 4.5% of disposable income, which has been below the pre-pandemic level of 7.5% for more than four years. The same report showed the Federal Reserve’s preferred measure of inflation staying above its long-range target of 2%. The personal consumption expenditure index was up 2.8% from the year before, vs. 2.9% in December. The last time it was below 2% was February 2021. Durable goods orders were unchanged in January as a plunge in demand for commercial aircraft offset scattered gains elsewhere. The Commerce Department reported that orders overall ran 9% higher than the year before. Excluding volatile transportation orders, demand rose 0.4% from the month before and was up 4.4% from January 2025. Core capital goods orders, a proxy for business investments, were unchanged for the month and up 2.9% from the year before. U.S. employers posted 6.9 million job openings in January, up marginally from December but below the pre-COVID level for the third month in a row. Postings were down 43% from their peak nearly five years ago, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. Based on openings and unemployed job seekers, the supply of available labor has outpaced demand since July. That’s after more than four years of the balance favoring workers. The number and rate of workers voluntarily quitting – an indication of worker confidence – stayed below pre-pandemic levels for the 25th month in a row. The University of Michigan said consumer sentiment reversed course following the onset of war in Iran. Polling done before Feb. 28 showed improvements in consumer outlooks, the university said, but opinions plunged thereafter regardless of respondents’ incomes, ages or political affiliations. Overall, consumers had lower expectations for their personal finances and higher forecasts for inflation. Market Closings for the Week Nasdaq – 22105, down 282 points or 1.3% S&P 500 – 6632, down 108 points or 1.6% Dow Jones Industrial Average – 46560, down 942 points or 2.0% 10-year U.S. Treasury Note – 4.29%, up 0.15 point

MONEY TALK 3-8-26 by

For our Week in Review, Dave Spano and Brian Jacobsen look at why classic diversification struggled as stocks, bonds, and even gold moved together, and why holding cash with a real plan may matter more than ever. We talk about the rise in hardship withdrawals from retirement accounts and what that reveals about financial stress across the country. We also break down major global tensions, shifting oil flows, and the latest economic data that is shaping markets.  Plus, segments on navigating financial conversations with family and avoid "lifestyle creep".

Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Tom Pappenfus (with Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (March 2-6, 2026) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday A two-month expansion of the manufacturing sector slowed in February, just as it did the year before. The Institute for Supply Management said its survey-based manufacturing index signaled the second consecutive month of growth after 10 months of contraction. Prior to 2025, the index shrank 26 months in a row. The trade group said 21% of the manufacturing industry's gross domestic product contracted in February, following 20% in January. The index suggested the overall U.S. economy was growing at an annual rate of 1.7%. Tuesday No significant reports Wednesday The service sector of the U.S. economy expanded in February for the 20th month in a row and at the highest level since mid-2022. The Institute for Supply Management said the four most impactful index components rose together for the third month in a row, repeating a streak from a year ago. The ISM's survey of supply managers reported more uncertainty about trade policies following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that found some tariffs illegal. But managers also suggested companies were learning to accommodate volatility in tariff rules. Thursday The Bureau of Labor Statistics said worker productivity rose at an annual pace of 2.8%  in the fourth quarter of 2025. The rate resulted from the annual pace of output rising 2.6% while hours worked decreased at a 0.2% pace. Productivity advanced 2.2% over the last four quarters, equal to the average since the end of 2019. That compared to 1.5% annual growth in the previous 12-year business cycle and an average of 2.2% since 1947. Labor costs rose 1.3% in the last year, and the share of output accrued to workers through compensation reached a record low in data going back to 1947. The Labor Department reported the four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims fell for the second time in three weeks. It remained 40% below its average since 1967. Total claims for the latest week declined 2.9% from the week before to just under 2.2 million. That was 1% lower than the year before. Friday Employers cut 92,000 jobs on net in February, the second decline in three months, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate edged up to 4.4%. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' monthly jobs report, combining payroll data and household surveys, offered mixed signals on a generally weaker labor market. On the plus side, the average hourly wage continued to outpace broad inflation, and the share of prime-age workers either employed or looking for jobs stayed near the highest level since 2001. On the other hand, a measure of underemployment remained above the pre-pandemic mark for the 26th month in a row, and — outside the pandemic — the employment of temporary-help workers dropped to the lowest count since 2012. Retail sales declined in January as seven of 13 categories reported lower revenue, the Commerce Department reported. Gas stations were among the decliners, reflecting lower gas prices in January. But sales at bars and restaurants, an indicator of consumer confidence, fell for the third time in four months. Consumer spending drives about 70% of the U.S. economy, as measured by gross domestic product. Adjusted for inflation, total retail sales dropped for at least the second month in a row. Inflation data for October and November are missing because of a federal government shutdown. Market Closings for the Week Nasdaq – 22388, down 281 points or 1.2% S&P 500 – 6740, down 109 points or 1.6% Dow Jones Industrial Average – 47502, down 1476 points or 3.0% 10-year U.S. Treasury Note – 4.13%, up 0.17 point

Cash gifting to family members in need is exceedingly common in our inflated economy, but if you are planning on offering monetary gifts to your loved ones, it is important that you do so as part of an overall gifting strategy.

You may have heard of the 4% Rule, which suggests 4% as the maximum sustainable rate of withdrawal from your retirement accounts, but over recent years the goal posts have been shifting, leading some to question the validity of this classic rule of thumb. Donna offers insights from experts on what rate of withdrawal makes sense based on current and projected cost of living, and the importance of building flexibility into your retirement plan. Also on MoneyTalk, things should you be focusing on during your last year before retirement. Host: Donna Sowa Allard, CFP®, AIF®; Air Date: 3/2/2026; Original Air Date: 8/25/2025.

https://www.uncommen.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Money-Talk.mp3 Quick Answers What is Biblical Stewardship? It is the recognition that God owns everything, and we are merely managers of His resources. It shifts the burden of "providing" from your shoulders to His. Is money the root of all evil? No. Scripture says the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Money itself is morally neutral; it is a tool that reveals where your heart truly lies. Will more money solve my anxiety? Likely not. Anxiety often scales with income. True peace comes from trusting the Provider, not the size of the provision. How do I start budgeting with my spouse? Separate the "business" of the budget from the "romance" of the relationship. Don't ruin date night with a spreadsheet; schedule a specific time to talk numbers. Why is tithing important? It isn't about paying the church's light bill; it's a spiritual discipline that breaks the grip of greed and reminds us who the true Owner is. The Weight of the Wallet Man, we have all been there. You open the banking app on your phone, and your stomach drops. The number isn't what you thought it was. Suddenly, the transmission on the truck sounds a little clunky, the kids need braces, and you feel that familiar tightening in your chest. The world tells men that their worth is directly tied to their net worth. If you can provide, you are a success. If you are struggling, you are a failure. That pressure is crushing, and it keeps millions of men awake at night, staring at the ceiling, doing mental math that never seems to add up. But here is the hard truth: the anxiety you feel about money often has very little to do with the actual amount in your account. We assume that if we just hit that "magic number"—the next raise, the paid-off mortgage, the lottery win—the fear will vanish. It won't. The only thing that truly alleviates financial anxiety is a fundamental shift in perspective. We have to move from a mindset of ownership to a mindset of Biblical Stewardship. When you realize you aren't the owner of the resources, but merely the manager, the pressure begins to lift. Defining the Terms: What is Biblical Stewardship? In church circles, we hear the word "stewardship" and immediately clutch our wallets because we assume it's code for "the pastor needs a new roof." But Biblical Stewardship is far more expansive and liberating than just a Sunday offering. Biblical Stewardship is the theological belief that God is the owner of everything—your money, your house, your car, your talent, and even your next breath. Psalm 24:1 is clear: "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it." If you are the "owner" of your life, then every financial hit is a personal attack on your security. If the market crashes, you lost. If the water heater breaks, your kingdom is crumbling. That is a heavy burden to carry. However, if you embrace Biblical Stewardship, your role shifts. You are now the asset manager for the Creator of the Universe. Your job isn't to hoard or to worry; your job is to ask, "Lord, how do You want me to manage these resources You have entrusted to me for this season?" The success of the "fund" ultimately rests on His sovereignty, not your striving. The Great Misquote: Money vs. The Heart To understand Biblical Stewardship, we have to clear up one of the most common lies men believe. You have probably heard someone say, "Well, money is the root of all evil." That is technically incorrect. The Apostle Paul actually wrote to Timothy that "the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil" (1 Timothy 6:10). There is a massive difference. Money is just paper and metal. It has no moral agency. It can be used to traffic humans, or it can be used to build orphanages. The money isn't evil; the heart handling it is where the danger lies. When we fail to practice Biblical Stewardship, we start to love the gift more than the Giver. We look to the bank account for the security and peace that only God can provide. That is when money becomes an idol. And like all idols, it will eventually crush its worshippers. True Biblical Stewardship requires us to hold money with an open hand. We respect it as a tool, but we refuse to worship it as a god. The "Just A Little More" Trap You might be thinking, "That's all great theology, but I have real bills. If I just had an extra $10,000 a year, I wouldn't be stressed." Don't be so sure. The podcast hosts discussed a phenomenon that every financial advisor has seen: the moving goalpost. You can talk to a man making $40,000 a year, and he is stressed. You can talk to a man making $400,000 a year, and he is also stressed. The lifestyle inflates to match the income. The guy making minimum wage worries about rent; the guy making millions worries about the stock market or losing his empire. There is a story of a billionaire who was asked, "How much money is enough?" His answer? "Just one more dollar." Without Biblical Stewardship grounding you, "enough" is a horizon you can never reach. You will chase it until you are in the grave. The practice of Biblical Stewardship teaches us contentment. It reminds us that our provision comes from the Lord, not from our hustle. It allows a man to look at what he has—whether it is little or much—and say, "Thank You, Lord. How should we use this?" rather than, "It's not enough." Practical Steps to Biblical Stewardship So, how do we move this from a theological concept to a Tuesday morning reality? Biblical Stewardship is practical. It shows up in how we budget, how we spend, and how we talk to our spouses. 1. The Budget is a Spiritual Tool If you don't know where your money is going, you aren't managing God's resources; you are losing them. Biblical Stewardship requires a plan. It's not about being a penny-pincher; it's about being intentional. Sit down and look at the numbers. Be honest. Ignoring the debt won't make it disappear. God can't bless a mess that you refuse to look at. By creating a budget, you are telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went. 2. Separate Finance from Romance Money is the number one cause of divorce. Why? Because we mix the stress of the bills with the intimacy of the relationship. Here is a pro-tip from the podcast: Don't do the budget on date night. Date night is for connection, dreaming, and enjoying each other. If you bring up the credit card bill over appetizers, the night is over. Schedule a separate "business meeting" for the household. During that meeting, practice Biblical Stewardship together. Pray over the bills. Ask God for wisdom. Then, when date night comes, leave the spreadsheet at home. 3. Build Margin for the Broken World A key component of Biblical Stewardship is preparation. The podcast noted that many men live "vacation to vacation" rather than preparing for the inevitable emergencies. If you spend every dime you make, you are presuming on the future. When the transmission blows or the medical emergency hits, you are forced into debt, which creates more anxiety. Biblical Stewardship involves the wisdom of the ant (Proverbs 6:6)—storing up in the summer so you are ready for the winter. Building an emergency fund isn't hoarding; it's responsible management that protects your family from the unexpected. The Tithing Question You can't talk about Biblical Stewardship without talking about giving. Why does God ask us to give? Does He need our money? No. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He doesn't need your check to keep the lights on in heaven. God commands us to give because He knows how easily money can grip our hearts. Giving is the antidote to greed. When you write that tithe check or support that missionary, you are physically declaring, "God, I trust You more than I trust this money." It is an act of rebellion against the scarcity mindset of the world. Some men get hung up on the "net vs. gross" argument or the specific percentages. They miss the heart of Biblical Stewardship. The goal isn't to check a legalistic box; the goal is to develop a generous spirit that mimics the generosity of God. As the podcast mentioned, we shouldn't just think about "paying the church's electric bill." We are investing in the Kingdom. From Anxiety to Trust The transition to Biblical Stewardship is rarely instant. It is a journey. You will have months where you fail. You will have moments where the fear grips you again. But the more you practice this mindset, the more you will find a strange, settled peace. You will realize that your identity isn't in your bank balance. You will stop looking at your neighbor's new truck with envy because you know you are running a different race. You will find joy in being a conduit of blessing rather than just a reservoir of cash. God wants you to be free. He doesn't want you enslaved to debt or paralyzed by the fear of the future. He invites you into the partnership of Biblical Stewardship so that you can experience the joy of trusting Him. When the bills stack up, take a deep breath. Remind yourself: "I am a manager, not the owner. God, show me what to do with what I have." A Challenge for the Steward This week, take one step toward Biblical Stewardship. Maybe it's finally opening that scary envelope from the bank. Maybe it's setting up a time to talk to your wife about the budget without fighting. Maybe it's giving something away just to prove to yourself that money doesn't own you. The world says, "Get all you can, can all you get, and sit on the can." But you aren't called to be like the world. If you are going to be something, be uncommen. Check out our other resources in our library. Follow Our Podcast on Apple | Spotify

MONEY TALK 2-15-26 by

For our Week in Review, Dave Spano and Brian Jacobsen unpack Japan's political shake‑up, where a landslide election win is clearing the way for food‑tax cuts and potential changes to the nation's post‑war constitution. They turn to the U.S. next, tackling rising economic pressures, from a growing federal deficit and tariff‑driven price hikes to a housing market still millions of homes short. Finally, they sift through the latest data and corporate earnings to reveal what's really happening on the ground as consumers pull back, mortgage stress creeps up, and businesses split between AI‑powered momentum and tariff‑strained margins. Plus, two bonus segments: AI investing strategies for high‑net‑worth portfolios and key tax moves ahead of the 2025 deadline.

Kyle Tetting, Art Rothschild and Adam Baley review news on inflation, jobs and the markets and what it means for investors.

If you receive 100% of your income from your salary, the manner in which you are taxed is relatively straightforward, but most Americans receive income from multiple sources, all of which are taxes a little differently. Donna and Nathan discuss how your tax liability is calculated on different types of income, including: social security, pensions, dividends and interest, capital gains, retirement accounts, life insurance proceeds, annuities, and real estate sales. Also on MoneyTalk, how to choose the right retirement account, and Stock Trivia: Two Truths and a Lie. Hosts: Donna Sowa Allard, CFP®, AIF® & Nathan Beauvais, CFP®, CIMA®; Air Date: 2/10/2026; Original Air Date: 4/9/2024 & 1/20/2025. Have a question for the hosts?

With the right instruction, you could probably fly an airplane, but you leave it to a professional because the cost of making a mistake is too high. Many feel the same way about investing, but for those who prefer the pilots chair, Nathan explains a few of the traps DIY investors often fall into and how to recognize them.
