Podcasts about necessities

Three words that can make any parent's wallet flinch: “Back to school.” But there's a silver lining—especially if your state has a tax-free weekend.For families gearing up for a new school year, those tax holidays can make a real difference. Today, Crystal Paine shares smart, practical ways to get prepared and save money along the way.Crystal Paine is the founder of MoneySavingMom.com and the author of The Money Saving Mom's Budget: Slash Your Spending, Pay Down Your Debt, Streamline Your Life, and Save Thousands a Year. Does Your State Participate?Not every state offers a tax-free weekend, and the rules vary widely from state to state. Crystal recommends checking your state's Department of Revenue or the Federation of Tax Administrators for up-to-date information.Understand what qualifies, as in some states, clothing must be under $100, and online purchases often count—if ordered and paid for within the specified window. Even if you're not shopping for back-to-school items, this can still be a good time to purchase other qualifying necessities.Don't treat the tax-free weekend like a shopping spree. Instead, we suggest that you:Make a list of what your family actually needs.Set a budget—especially if your kids are old enough to be involved (around age 8–10).Know the limits so you don't go over a price cap and lose the exemption.Stack your savings by searching for coupons or shopping through cashback sites like RetailMeNot.Simply search for the site name and ‘coupon code' before making a purchase.What About Online Shopping?A common misconception to keep in mind is that if you order and pay during the holiday window, and the item qualifies, it's usually tax-exempt, even if it ships later. Please ensure it ships to an in-state address.One important caveat to remember is that Amazon may not always participate, and shipping costs may be included in item price caps in some states. Therefore, read the fine print and always check your confirmation receipt to ensure that tax wasn't accidentally charged.Stewardship Over SavingsThe ultimate goal isn't just saving money—it's honoring God. Sometimes we think we're saving when we're really just spending less wastefully. But that's still spending. Ask yourself: Am I buying this because it's a wise investment, or is it just because it's on sale?Make prayerful purchases—asking God for wisdom, guidance, and even provision when looking for specific items. God is faithful to lead us when we invite Him into our financial decisions.Good stewardship is about more than just saving money. It's about aligning our spending with God's purposes.

My employer has just started offering a Roth 403(b), and I'm wondering—if I'm at my age, does it make sense to contribute?I'm 46 and considering selling my townhome, but I'm unsure if now is the right time. If I do sell, what's the best way to invest the equity?I took out a home improvement loan in my name to help a friend. Could I qualify for debt forgiveness on that loan?I recently started investing in goldbacks and noticed more states are adopting them. What are your thoughts, and do you think it's a good time to invest in them?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)The Money Saving Mom's Budget: Slash Your Spending, Pay Down Your Debt, Streamline Your Life, and Save Thousands a Year by Crystal PaineMoneySavingMom.comWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook 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.

Shoe Surgeon business entity owns Urban Necessities, and pushed Two J's out, but still has him on the hook for business and tax debts. Allegedly. How could have Two J's Kicks signed such a bad deal? What else could be going on?

Are our efforts to help the poor always helpful, or could they sometimes do more harm than good?Today, we'll explore how short-term missions can genuinely reflect the heart of Christ and bring lasting change, without unintentionally hurting the very people we aim to serve. Dr. Brian Fikkert joins us for that conversation.Dr. Brian Fikkert is a Professor of Economics and Community Development and the Founder and President of the Chalmers Center for Economic Development at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia. He is also the co-author of the book, Helping Without Hurting in Short-Term Missions.What Is Poverty—Really?Americans often define poverty materially—a lack of necessities, such as food, clean water, clothing, or shelter. As a result, short-term mission trips often center around distributing goods or completing construction projects. But when you ask materially poor individuals around the world what poverty means to them, they describe feelings of shame, helplessness, and a lack of dignity.This reveals a disconnect: while we view poverty as a lack of material possessions, those experiencing it often define it in relational, psychological, and spiritual terms. True poverty is brokenness in relationship—with God, self, others, and creation. That insight should transform how we approach short-term missions.Even the most well-intentioned trips can do harm. Why? Because those going on these trips may carry pride, believing they have the answers or that their culture holds superiority. In contrast, those in materially poor communities often struggle with inferiority. That combination can worsen the very sense of worthlessness we hope to alleviate.Rather than reinforcing this brokenness, we should pursue humility and listen more than we speak. The goal should not be to "fix" but to restore—to foster healthy relationships that reflect the image of God in all people.Presence Over ProjectsShort-term trips shouldn't be about what we accomplish but about who we become in relationship.If poverty is rooted in broken relationships, then the solution is to restore people to right relationships. And that doesn't come through handing out supplies or completing a checklist—it comes through deep, lasting community.That's why the local church is God's primary instrument of restoration. Mission teams should support these churches in a “backstage” role—serving quietly, praying faithfully, and encouraging leaders who are already embedded in the community. Sometimes the best thing you can do is babysit the pastor's children so he and his wife can enjoy a night out. That kind of support strengthens the long-term work far more than any single project ever could.The Sending Church's Role in Long-Term SuccessMany short-term trips blur the line between gospel and Western culture. But the gospel transcends culture—and so should we.Colossians 1 reminds us that Christ is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. That means He is already at work in every community, regardless of how impoverished it may seem. When mission teams enter a new culture, they should approach it reverently, as if stepping onto holy ground. There is beauty in every culture, and highlighting it can be healing. Simply asking, “What's good here?” affirms the image of God in others and begins the work of restoration.How can the sending church help ensure long-term success in missions?It's not about executing a flawless trip. It's about fostering enduring partnerships with local ministries. That includes showing up year after year, offering consistent prayer and support, and being safe spaces where local leaders can be authentic. Success is not measured by how much we build but by how deeply we walk with others through life.Fundraising as a Form of DiscipleshipShort-term mission fundraising can also be reframed. Young people often feel pressure to produce tangible results in exchange for financial support. But if the goal is to learn and grow, that's a worthy investment.Go as a learner and communicate that clearly to your supporters. When trips are part of a larger discipleship journey, they become valuable not only for those being served but also for the transformation of those who participate.Still, we must be wise stewards of God's resources. Many trips could be more effective if better embedded in a long-term process of learning and partnership.Short-term missions, when done right, can become powerful instruments of healing and restoration. But they must begin with a correct understanding of poverty and a humble willingness to be shaped by the journey.For churches preparing for trips this summer, Helping Without Hurting in Short-Term Missions is more than a resource—it's a reorientation of purpose.To explore Dr. Fikkert's work or find resources and group studies designed for churches, visit Chalmers.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I just bought a new SUV and was offered bi-weekly payments. Would it be advantageous to opt for this option over monthly payments to minimize interest?My mother passed away in October of last year, and my sister and I are going to sell her house probably next month. My question is, in Texas, there's no inheritance tax. But is there an inheritance tax federally?We have some friends who asked us to give them a letter of giftedness to help them buy a home. They're asking for $17,000, for which they have $17,000 in cash that they will exchange for our check immediately. We don't understand why they can't just use their own cash, and we're not sure if helping them would cause difficulties for us or them.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineThe Chalmers CenterHelping Without Hurting in Short-Term Missions by Brian Fikkert and Steve Corbett with Katie CasselberryWhen Helping Hurts: How to Alleviate Poverty Without Hurting the Poor... and Yourself by Steve Corbett and Brian FikkertWisdom 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.

Send us a textIn Part 2 of this gripping two-part series, host Clint McNear goes beyond the investigation and into the aftermath—what really happens when a life is traded for testimony.The story of Melania Doe's family continues, but this time, the focus shifts from the criminal case to the collateral damage. Bear, a longtime federal informant embedded deep within violent criminal networks, made the ultimate trade: his freedom for cooperation. But that deal didn't come without cost.Through firsthand accounts and Clint's own experience as the lead detective, this episode reveals the rarely talked about side of the Witness Protection Program—one where trauma doesn't end with relocation, and the promise of safety often comes with lifelong consequences.For Melania, growing up under new names, new homes, and a constant fear of exposure wasn't a life—it was a sentence. This episode dives into the emotional toll of secrecy, the breakdown of identity, and the silent suffering that shadows every person forced into hiding.This isn't a story about justice.

Send us a textIn this jaw-dropping episode, host Clint McNear pulls back the curtain on one of the wildest cases of his career as a Detective with the Garland Police Department. It starts with an unsolved homicide — the brutal murder of Melania Doe's grandmother, a tragic consequence of her father's dark entanglements with the criminal underworld.Her father, known on the streets as Bear, wasn't just any criminal. He was a federal informant, deep undercover inside dangerous networks, including infiltrating the notorious Outlaws motorcycle club. But the twists don't stop there. Bear's story stretches back to one of the most bizarre crimes in American history: the infamous 1977 theft of Elvis Presley's body from Forest Hill Cemetery — a political stunt tied to cemetery ordinances and outlaw retaliation.What starts as a homicide investigation unravels into a tangled web of federal operations, biker gangs, and a plot straight out of a Hollywood script.

Notes from James: What if I told you that we could eliminate the IRS, get rid of personal income taxes completely, and still keep the government funded? Sounds impossible, right? Well, not only is it possible, but historical precedent shows it has been done before. I know what you're thinking—this sounds insane. But bear with me. The IRS collects $2.5 trillion in personal income taxes each year. But what if we could replace that with a national sales tax that adjusts based on what you buy? Under my plan: Necessities (food, rent, utilities) 5% tax Standard goods (clothes, furniture, tech) 15% tax Luxury goods (yachts, private jets, Rolls Royces) 50% tax And boom—we don't need personal income taxes anymore! You keep 100% of what you make, the economy booms, and the government still gets funded. This episode is a deep dive into how this could work, why it's better than a flat tax, and why no one in government will actually do this (but should). Let me know what you think—and if you agree, share this with a friend (or send it to Trump). Episode Description: What if you never had to pay personal income taxes again? In this mind-bending episode of The James Altucher Show, James tackles a radical idea buzzing from Trump, Elon Musk, and Howard Lutnick: eliminating the IRS. With $2.5 trillion in personal income taxes on the line, is it even possible? James says yes—and he's got a plan. Digging into history, economics, and a little-known concept called “money velocity,” James breaks down how the U.S. thrived in the 1800s without income taxes, relying on tariffs and “vice taxes” on liquor and tobacco. Fast forward to today: the government rakes in $4.9 trillion annually, but spends $6.7 trillion, leaving a gaping deficit. So how do you ditch the IRS without sinking the ship? James unveils his bold solution: a progressive national sales tax—5% on necessities like food, 15% on everyday goods like clothes, and a hefty 50% on luxury items like yachts and Rolls Royces. Seniors and those on Social Security? They'd pay nothing. The result? The government still nets $2.5 trillion, the economy grows by $3.7 trillion thanks to unleashed consumer spending, and you keep more of your hard-earned cash. No audits, no accountants, just taxes at the cash register. From debunking inflation fears to explaining why this could shrink the $36 trillion national debt, James makes a compelling case for a tax revolution. He even teases future episodes on tariffs and why a little debt might not be the enemy. Whether you're a skeptic or ready to tweet this to Trump, this episode will change how you see taxes—and the economy—forever. What You'll Learn: The history of taxes in America—and how the country thrived without an income tax in the 1800s Why the IRS exists and how it raises $2.5 trillion in personal income taxes every year How eliminating income taxes would boost the economy by $3.75 trillion annually My radical solution: a progressive national sales tax—and how it works Why this plan would actually put more money in your pocket Would prices skyrocket? No. Here's why.

"Do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words." – Matthew 6:7In Matthew 6, Jesus warns against meaningless repetition in prayer. Thankfully, He doesn't leave us wondering how to pray. Instead, He gives us the Lord's Prayer—an example of how we should approach God with our needs.But have you ever noticed how often we overlook a key part of this prayer? The request for provision:"Give us this day our daily bread." – Matthew 6:11This simple yet profound verse reminds us that God is our provider. He wants us to come before Him humbly, asking for what we need. And in a world where self-sufficiency is often celebrated, this truth is more important than ever.God Is Our ProviderJesus' words in Matthew 6:11 serve as a powerful reminder that we depend on God for our most basic needs—starting with food. It's easy to take this for granted, especially in a time and place where food shortages are rarely a daily concern.But do we truly recognize that all provision comes from God? Do we regularly thank Him for our meals and daily necessities? Or do we fall into the trap of thinking that our own efforts—our jobs, savings, and financial planning—are what sustain us?It's only when we face scarcity—when food, money, or security seem uncertain—that we remember our true dependence on God. But Jesus calls us to recognize this truth every day, not just in times of crisis.The phrase “Give us this day our daily bread” has a deeper meaning than just food. It speaks to all our needs—physical, emotional, and spiritual. We hunger for more than just nourishment. We long for peace, love, purpose, and meaningful relationships.Jesus teaches us to bring these needs to God in prayer, acknowledging that only He can truly satisfy us. The Lord's Prayer is not just about survival—it's about trusting that God will provide everything we need, both physically and spiritually.The Danger of Self-SufficiencyFor those of us living in relative abundance, the idea of asking for daily bread might feel distant. Unlike Jesus' original audience, who often faced food insecurity, we may not think about whether we'll eat tomorrow. In fact, for many, the challenge is having too much rather than too little.Yet, even in prosperity, Jesus' words remain critical. This prayer reminds us that we are not self-sufficient. It helps guard against the illusion that we control our own destiny.The danger of materialism is subtle. We may not consciously reject God's provision, but when we place our trust in our bank accounts, investments, or careers, we begin to believe that we sustain ourselves. That mindset leads to pride—and ultimately distances us from God.Jesus knew our hearts would struggle with this. That's why He later says:"Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." – Matthew 6:33We don't need to worry about our next meal, our financial security, or our future. What we truly need is God Himself. And prayer reminds us of that.Breaking the Grip of MaterialismOne way to keep our hearts aligned with this truth is through generosity. Giving is a tangible way to acknowledge that God—not our wealth—is our provider. When we give, we loosen the grip that money has on us and demonstrate our faith that God will continue to meet our needs.There will always be reasons to worry—economic downturns, market fluctuations, unexpected expenses. But these uncertainties should drive us to prayer, not fear.So, the next time you pray, “Give us this day our daily bread,” say it with sincerity. Recognize your dependence on God. Thank Him for His provision. And let that gratitude lead you to trust—and give—more freely.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 68 and plan to retire at 72. I owe $95,000 on a condo with a 7.125% interest rate. I've been paying an extra $1,000 per month towards the principal, but I'd like to know if I should do something else with that money instead of paying down the mortgage. I want to be debt-free when I retire. What should I do?I have some stock savings I was planning to use for retirement. But I had to max out a credit card a couple of years ago when I lost income. The collection agency is offering to let me pay 75-80% of the debt in a lump sum. Should I take money from my stocks to pay this off or try to work out a monthly payment plan instead?I recently won a $570,000 home from the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway. When I took ownership, I had to pay $205,000 in taxes. My CPA says I could pay an additional 20% capital gains tax when I sell. I've had the home for a few years, and its value hasn't changed much. Can you help me understand the capital gains tax and how I can minimize the tax burden?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineChristian Credit CounselorsLook 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.

Ever felt like paying off debt while affording everyday necessities is an impossible task? In this episode, we explore strategies for balancing debt payment with essential expenses, even when money is tight. We'll dive into practical tips on defining true necessities, prioritizing your spending, and organizing your finances to make consistent progress toward your goals. Make sure to listen to the full episode for tips that can transform how you handle debt. Hosting Today: I'm Ashley Patrick, ex detective turned debt-free CEO of my very own business and stay at home mom of three. Not too long ago, my dreams of staying at home with my kids seemed impossible. I thought I'd have to stay miserable in a high stress demanding job, just so I could retire someday. After gaining the confidence in my own ability to manage my family's finances and a simple step-by-step plan to make it happen, I was able to pay off $45,000 in just 17 months, which then allowed me to finally quit my job, stay at home with my kids, and build a debt-free business. Now, my mission is to help moms like you conquer debt and free themselves from the mental load of handling their family's finances. “You've got to prioritize it if you want to pay off debt. It has to be a priority. It can't be just the last thing because, guess what, there won't be anything left if you just send what's left at the end of the month. I promise you, things will come up, things will happen, and if you see that money sitting there in your account, and if you're not really, really committed and intentional with what you've got sitting there, it will go to something else.” - Ashley Patrick Struggling to budget?
