Hey everyone! Lauren has been having quite the summer, and with a couple of trips, buying/renovating a new primary, and a move we're doing a replay this week. Fear not, though, this is our most popular episode of the last couple of years so if you haven't listened yet, you'll love it. If you have listened, you may just love it again. Show notes: Athena got into the personal finance content creation world to help the Latina community (and everyone) learn along with her. She's passionate about helping her community because of the wage and income gaps present. Athena discusses the importance of diversifying income streams, as well as her investment portfolio. Since she literally wrote the (for dummies) book on budgeting, of course Lauren and Athena dove deep into this topic. The first method they talked about was zero based budgeting. The second was the 50/30/20 method, Lauren's favorite. The third budgeting method discussed was the cash envelope method, Athena's favorite. Finally, they talked about the pay yourself first budget, which is often not thought of as a budget at all! She offers tactical tips for sticking to a budget, like having groceries delivered. Athena also recommends an accountability partner, which can even be anonymous. Everyone should have a budget because it's the foundation on which all personal finance goals are based. About Athena: Athena Valentine Lent is a finance columnist for Slate and the author of Budgeting for Dummies (Wiley, 2023). Her writing has appeared in BuzzFeed, Prudential, The College Investor, GOBankingRates, Money Under 30, among other places. Her personal finance blog, Money Smart Latina, won the Plutus Award for "Best Personal Finance Content for Underserved Communities" in 2020 and was nominated for "Blog of the Year" in 2022. When she's not working, you can find her reading a Stephen King novel with her main man, a polydactyl cat named Harrison George.

Editor's Note: Here's one of the best podcasts from the archive that you may have missed. This episode initially aired on March 06, 2021. When my wife and I joined households 11 years ago, we combined our kitchen stuff, our furniture, our linens and just about everything else. The one thing we didn't combine? Our money. When it comes to money, she does her thing and I do mine. About the only time our money meets is on our joint tax return. This is the system that works for us, although it likely wouldn't work for everyone. That's the thing with money and relationships: There's no right answer. Anyone who tells you there's only one correct way to mix money and marriage -- and there are plenty of "experts" who do -- is just plain wrong. The one thing that's universally true is that money secrets are bad. My wife and I don't combine our money, but we do discuss it. Often. Whether you've been together for 30 months or 30 years, avoiding talking money puts your relationship at risk. This is especially true if finances are tight, or if you combine your finances and have different money "personalities" -- such as a spender or borrower in a relationship with a saver or investor. To nobody's surprise, money is routinely cited in surveys as a major source of stress. So when, and exactly how, can we discuss money with our significant others without causing friction? How do we get on the same page and stay there? Or are differences about money just something couples have to learn to live with? In this week's "Money!" podcast, we're going to find answers to these questions, as well as many more. Our guest is best-selling author and award-winning speaker Tarra Jackson, also known as Madam Money. As usual, my co-host will be financial journalist Miranda Marquit, and we're joined by our producer and sound effects guy, Aaron Freeman.

In Episode 24 of the HopeFilled Financial Podcast Jay gets FIRED-UP over an article from Money Under 30 entitled "5 Reasons You Should Keep Your Finances Separate From Your Significant Other (and 4 Reasons You Shouldn't)" (see link below). The claim that separated finances promotes the healthiest choice a married couple can make is scientifically and philosophically false at it's very core, and Jay's reaction stems from his passion to help marriages make objectively healthy and life-giving financial choices with love and unity. Article: https://www.moneyunder30.com/5-reasons-to-keep-your-finances-separate-from-your-significant-other In today's story, Jay tells the physics joke he promised in Episode #23. Even if it is not funny (like all of Jay's typical dad jokes), the analogy is good! It is 'currently' the best connection Jay has made from his engineering background and personal finance in marriage. The budget tip is: Include hospitality in your budget. This gives you permission to spend money when guests come to visit so you don't feel any restraint or financial frustration. A budget is your ticket to freedom and financial peace. Today's listener question covers what to do when your colleagues want to eat out all the time at work, but you don't have the budget for that. This is a common peer pressure situation.

Whyte House Family Spoken Books #1: Money Under the Car Seat & Other Things to Thank God For Intro by Daniel Whyte III
When I worked as a Wall Street investment adviser back in the 80s, there was basically only one way we got paid: commissions. When I bought or sold shares of stock, the client paid about 1% of the value of the trade. When I sold an annuity, I got paid 4%. When I sold a mutual fund, the commission was anywhere from 2 to 7%. So back then, advisers made a living by taking a slice out of whatever money you invest. And for many, that's still true today. That system, however, isn't the best. For one thing, advisers get paid more for some investments than others, which can influence their advice. Another issue: While the best way to manage money is often to sit tight and do nothing, your adviser can't pay their mortgage unless your money is moving. It was flaws like these, along with the desire to create a steady, predictable adviser income, that years ago led to a new model: Instead of charging per transaction, charging a set percentage, typically around 1%, of the assets under management. Got a hundred grand? Pay $1,000 a year. A million? 10 thousand. But that system isn't ideal either. For example, does managing a million really require 10 times the effort of managing $100,000? And if the stock market doubles, does that warrant a 100% raise for your adviser? A final way of paying for advice has also gained in popularity: paying by the hour, just as you do with an accountant or lawyer. The problem? As with an accountant or lawyer, hourly rates can be high. So, what's an investor to do? Want more information?

If someone wants to be their own financial quarterback, where should they start?Sticking with the sports analogy for a moment, they need a good game plan.And when it comes to your finances that means a financial plan.So step one, really, is to develop a financial plan.And you don't have to be a financial expert to do this.A financial plan is just a picture of your current finances.And it identifies what your financial goals are.What does a good financial plan include?The plan needs to have all the details.Your income and cash flow.Your savings.Your debt.Any investments you might have.Information on your insurance plans.And just about anything else having to do with your money.It's not a one-time thing but an ongoing process.You put a plan together and then revisit it.Looking at it and checking your progress once a month is a good habit.Dealing with finances can be stressful.And a good financial plan helps take away a good deal of that stress.Plus a financial plan is not just for the wealthy.Everyone should have a financial plan and take charge of it, like a good quarterback.Tell us about what goes into a financial plan.Start with your goals.And those goals might be to save up a down payment for a house, build your retirement savings or to pay down debt.Paying down debt is a common short-term goal.Saving for retirement is a typical long-term goal.Make sure you know what you want to achieve with you plan.Make your plan serve your goals.Ask yourself where do you want to be financially in five or ten years.What type of retirement do you want to have?Start with your goals.The more they inspire you, the more likely you are to put together a good plan and to execute that plan over time.What do they need to get into that plan to achieve those goals? What are some of the more concrete elements of a good financial plan?Track your money.Write down all your sources of income and how much monthly income you get from each.Write down all your expenses and how much they are every month.This way you can get a sense of your cash flow.And you can watch out for living beyond your means.Seeing where your money comes from and where it goes gives you the picture you need of your finances.See if you can put 50% of your incomes toward needs – mortgage or rent, utilities, transportation and other recurring expenses.See if you can put no more than 30% of your income toward wants – entertainment, clothing, discretionary spending.Then put at least 20% toward savings and/or debt repaymentUse this picture to see if your income is being directed toward achieving your goals.If it is, stick with it.If it's not, look for some ways to make some changes.What else would a good financial quarterback do?Take advantage of every source of income.If your employer offers a 401-k and they offer an employer match, make sure you're taking advantage of it. A lot of employers will match, for example, your contributions up to 3% or so of your salary.It can be a good way to build retirement savings.Make sure you have an emergency fund to cover unexpected expenses.A good rule of thumb is to have three to six months of living expenses socked away in an emergency fund.Get rid of high-interest debt, like credit card debt.Build your savings, that's kind of obvious.But also build your retirement savings with your 401-k, a traditional or Roth IRA and, if you have kids, the 529 college savings plans.Being a good quarterback is all about planning and preparation.Planning, preparation and execution.Don't feel like every play has to score a touchdown.Just keep gaining yards, making first downs and you'll soon achieve your goals.Useful info/linksClever Girl Finance: https://www.clevergirlfinance.com/blog/ten-steps-to-creating-a-solid-financial-plan/Money Under 30:https://www.moneyunder30.com/how-to-create-a-financial-plan-without-paying-for-an-advisorSmart Asset: https://smartasset.com/financial-advisor/what-is-a-financial-plan
Happy Mother's Day! My wife Chelsea returns to talk with me about the cultural war on motherhood. While avoiding "patriarchy" on one side and "radical feminism" on the other side, we answer some questions about the cultural war on Biblical motherhood: Is motherhood an obstacle holding back women's freedom? Should women seek to “have it all”? Does equality mean politically managing the roles of father and mother? What effects does the war on motherhood have on children? What effects does the war on motherhood have on fathers?

And second, many are not on track to get thereManage investment (avoid ‘set it and forget it’ mindest)You need to pay attention to and actively manage a 401(k) to really make it grow. That also applies to other investment accounts, including IRAs, brokerage accounts, and HSAs.4% rule - take out this amount of retirement fund yearly without ever touching nest egg - living off of dividendsSaving vs. investingsavings accounts typically pay much lower returns (or nothing at all) compared to investment accounts. In the early and middle years of your career, you have time to recover from any losses. That's a good time to take some of the risks that allow you to earn more with your investments.How much?Most experts say your retirement income should be about 80% of your final pre-retirement salary (ex. $100,000 = $80,000 per year)Savings by age:Fidelity suggests you should have an amount equal to your annual salary in accumulated savings by age 30Age 40—two times annual salaryAge 50—four times annual salaryAge 60—six times annual salaryAge 67—eight times annual salaryMore from the Internet:This article from Money Under 30 provides us with a beginner's guide to saving for retirement, and breaks down all the scary terms into understandable and tangible tips!More from Jen + Jill:Dont be confused by wierd acronymsA 401(k) is just an account you get through your employer and which is funded through pre-tax payroll deductions. A 403(b) is an account you get if your employer is an educational institution or a non-profit.IRA “vehicles for your money”: IRA stands for Individual Retirement Account, and is an account that’s not dependent on where you work; anyone can open onepeople save in an IRA and a 401(k) or 403(b) simply because IRAs offer some benefits that employer-sponsored retirement accounts don’t. IRAs come in different varieties:Roth IRA, which uses after-tax moneytraditional IRA, which is tax-deductibleSEP IRA, which is for the self-employed (and is also tax-advantaged).A word about Social Security - don’t count on itTake advantage of employer matchesOnce you are set up with saving/investing - leave it alone - avoid unnecessary anxiety!Once you’ve started saving - make dat $ work for you!!Younger people should take larger risks, such as stocks or ETF’s (low cost index funds)40’s, 50’s, 60’s - start to move that money out of stocks into ‘safer assets’; like bondsBILL OF THE WEEK - Erin thanks for sharing your bill about the buffalo bills going to the playoffs!

IRA, 401k, HSAWhat’s in my retirement account? Usually mutual funds, we prefer index funds (passively managed - less expensive). You can control what goes in your IRA but you can’t always control what’s in your 401k or 403bStocks vs bonds? Index funds are made up of them. They determine how risky your portfolio is, you want both, bonds increase as you get closer to retirement.What should I do with a windfall or inheritance? First figure out how much in taxes you’ll owe on it, then use the rest to get you closer to your financial goals. Prioritize paying off debt, saving an emergency fund and maxing out your IRA. If you have any left have some fun with it or open a taxable investment account. It’ll act exactly like your IRA, you can invest in the same funds, it just doesn’t have the tax benefits of a retirement account.Wrap up:We've got a new way to enter our monthly giveaway!Share this episode on facebook or social media, tag us in it and you'll be entered to win a $10 amazon gift card!

Chain of Wealth - Debt, Investing, Entrepreneurship, Wealth & More
Hey Chainers! Welcome to the first ever episode of Chain of Wealth! We’re so excited to get going and start sharing awesome free actionable financial advice that is relevant to everyone. One of the topics where there is a massive disconnect in society and definitely something that the average person does not know enough about it (unless you’re a financial professional) is Wealth. Thus - Chain of Wealth was born with the vision and mission to provide daily actionable free financial advice through interviewing people that have excelled and done something extraordinary. This very first episode, or Episode 0, is just Denis & Katie. We’ll chat a bit about ourselves and the plan is just to discuss a bit about the podcast and give information about how best to use the website. Ok so firstly, let’s dive into the Podcast itself, why a Wealth Podcast and what is the Chain of Wealth? Quite simply put, there is a massive amount of information available these days on the internet and there are some really awesome people out there creating content and achieving their financial dreams. The disconnect occurs in that this information is scattered all over the place, and unless you know exactly what you’re looking, it can take you ages to research and find it. At the time we’re recording this, the US national debt is over 20 trillion dollars, and while it isn’t necessarily Joe Average’s debt, it definitely speaks to the economy as a whole. Student debt is also at its highest level ever and people are starting their working careers with a massive debt already owning, pushing out their retirement and making it much harder for people to succeed. In life, some of the most important things you’ll ever do financially you are not adequately prepared for, such as buying a house, car, saving for retirement and many other financial decisions. The podcast and blog is a way to address this issue and help people make a massive difference in their lives. This is one of the major reasons we decided to create the Chain of Wealth Podcast- to provide a free platform to educate people and provide financial advice. So let’s dive into Chain of Wealth itself, what is the Chain of Wealth and who are the Chainers? The Chain of Wealth is the hosts, interviewees and all our listeners. We all link together and leverage off each other to provide a network of knowledge, resources and a community where honest information is provided to help each other. Chainers are our listeners and everyone that is part of our community. Awesome! So we’ve gone through the basics, but now let’s get into introductions! Let’s chat about Denis – Originally from South Africa, CA(SA), 5 years of working experience in Corporate in an extremely wide variety of industries and countries. Let’s chat about Katie- Grew up in Tampa, Florida, 2nd Grade School Teacher, trying to learn more about the financial world and already done some big financial things, got student debt, bought and sold a house and bought a car. We’ve already interviewed some leading inspirational people such as David Weliver from Money Under 30, Jackie Ruka from GetHappyZone, Brandon Krieg from Stash Invest and many, many other leaders in their respective industries! The podcast will run from Monday to Friday and the structure will be an interview based podcast. Episodes will range from 15 to 30 minutes long and so will be perfect for most people who go about their weekly routine. Now let’s talk about the format of the interview – each interview for Chain of Wealth undergoes a rigorous research process and questions asked in the main part of the interview. It is designed to get the most important information out of our guests and answer some questions that we might have. After that we have a short break and then dive right into the value link round. The value link round is a lightning round where we extract even more value bombs from our guests and finally end with some parting advice and how you can get in touch with our guests should you wish to do that. Each and every interview will have a show notes page on our website which is probably where you want to go if you’re looking for a quick recap of the interview as a whole. To access the show notes page, you can either search for the interview or you can browse through the podcast page. We also use timestamps in our show notes which are totally awesome! What it means is that if you click on the green links it’ll jump right into that portion of the audio clip so you can listen to our guests’ responses super quickly and easily. There are also links to all the resources that get discussed in the show which provides an amazing platform and a huge amount of value as you can click directly through to what they are talking about. Definitely check out the website chainofwealth.com there is really some awesome material on there. Check out the podcast page and Katie’s blogs about her journey to getting out of $30,000 in student loan debt from a public Florida university. Speaking about the website, we’ve also going to add really great guides and content. As an example we’ve written a debt guide for you to check out – chainofwealth.com/debt which is completely FREE. Anyway, we’re pumped to get going and super excited for our first two guest, Jackie Ruka and Matt DeCoursey We love comments and questions that you leave, so don’t be shy.
