In this special episode of The Catholic Money Show, Jonathan and Amanda Teixeira join Timmerie on Relevant Radio to talk about two money conversations affecting Catholics in very different seasons of life: student loans and dating.First, they discuss how student loans are following many people into retirement, especially those who borrowed for college, graduate school, or Parent PLUS loans for their children. Jonathan and Amanda explain why minimum payments can keep people stuck for decades, how student loans can affect retirement plans, and why it is important to make a real payoff strategy before fixed income becomes a reality.Then, the conversation shifts to Catholic dating and money. Should income, career plans, debt, or future family life be deal breakers before someone even gets a first date? Jonathan and Amanda talk about the difference between wise discernment and harsh evaluation, why financial conversations should unfold gradually, and how character, growth, prayer, and openness to God's call matter more than having every detail figured out from the beginning.In this episode:Why student loans are delaying retirement for many familiesHow minimum payments can keep debt around for decadesWhy Parent PLUS loans can create pressure later in lifeWhat to consider before relying on reverse mortgages or retirement debt strategiesWhy saving for the future should not become an idolHow Catholic families can balance prudence with living fruitfully todayWhy dating should be more about encounter than evaluationWhen to start talking about money in a dating relationshipHow financial intimacy grows over timeWhy character matters more than a perfect financial profileThis episode is a helpful conversation for anyone carrying student loans, preparing for retirement, dating with marriage in mind, or trying to bring Catholic wisdom into real financial decisions.Resources mentioned: WalletWin Catholic Money Academyhttps://walletwin.com/academyStop living Paycheck to paycheck. https://relevantradio.com/2024/01/money-as-a-catholic-feast-of-the-holy-spouses/ How to adopt a baby on a budgethttps://relevantradio.com/2024/04/parents-on-a-budget/ 

She was 28 years old, making $72,000 a year, current on every single bill — and she sat across from me and cried.Not because she was broke.Because she did everything right and had nothing to show for it.No savings. No investments. Just a pile of payments that felt like chains.That moment changed how I talk about money forever.The truth is — most of us are following a blueprint that was never designed to build wealth. It was designed to survive. And the people who handed us that blueprint? They loved us. But love doesn't make a belief true.In today's episode, I'm breaking down the 3 beliefs your family passed down that are quietly destroying your chances at real financial freedom — and exactly what to do instead, no matter how old you are or where you're starting from.In this episode:Why doing everything "right" can still leave you brokeThe 3 inherited money beliefs that are keeping your family stuckWhy debt is a choice, not a fact of lifeHow silence about money is a generational tax on your familyThe new blueprint — debt freedom, multiple income streams, and financial transparencyWhat I would do at 25, 35, 45, and 55 to start building real wealth todayTake action right now:

What happens if your client can't work? While many clients focus on protecting their families with life insurance or planning for long-term care later in life, one of their greatest financial assets—their paycheck—is often left unprotected. In this mini-episode of The Broker Link, hosts Cristal Bustillos and Chris Newberry explore why disability insurance is an essential part of a well-rounded financial protection strategy. They explain how disability insurance provides income replacement during a client's working years, helping protect their lifestyle and financial obligations if illness or injury prevents them from earning a living. Cristal and Chris walk listeners through the disability insurance process, including medical underwriting, income verification, and the structure of benefits. They also discuss how different carriers specialize in serving a wide range of occupations, from white-collar professionals and business owners to blue-collar and skilled trade workers, making disability insurance a solution for far more clients than many agents realize. The conversation also highlights how The Brokerage's Life Department makes it easy for producers to enter the disability insurance market through its turnkey DI Partners program. With access to experienced specialists, product expertise, and dedicated support, agents can confidently introduce disability insurance into client conversations without having to become experts overnight. Beyond the client benefits, Cristal and Chris discuss why disability insurance represents a significant business opportunity for producers. In addition to helping clients protect their most valuable asset—their income—disability insurance can generate meaningful commissions and long-term renewal income, creating lasting value for both clients and agents.

Anthony O'Neal is a national bestselling author who has helped over 250,000 people get out of debt and take control of their finances. He built his foundation in the Dave Ramsey method, but has since evolved his message into something bigger: true freedom isn't just about paying off debt, it's about mental, spiritual, and financial freedom working together.   In this episode, we talk about his new book Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck, why becoming debt free was never the finish line he thought it was, and what it actually takes to grow real wealth once the debt is gone. We also dig into money and marriage, how to align finances with a spouse, and the mindset shifts that separate people who stay stuck from people who build lasting freedom.   Anthony has grown a following of over 1.1 million subscribers on YouTube by delivering this message with clarity and conviction, and this conversation is packed with the same energy. If you're ready to think differently about debt, money, and what freedom really means, this episode is for you.

At 23, I bought a car I couldn't afford to impress people who don't even call me anymore.When I add up the payments, the insurance, the interest, and the opportunity cost of what that money could have become — that one decision cost me close to $200,000.Not in cash. In wealth I never built.And that car was just the beginning. The apartment. The clothes. The trips. The dinners. Every dollar I spent performing wealth was a dollar that never got to actually become wealth.In this video I'm giving you the 5 lessons I wish someone had told me at 25 — because if you're in your 20s, 30s, or even 40s, this information can change the trajectory of your financial life.What we cover:- Why your spending is not a money problem — it's an identity problem- Why making more money will NOT fix your finances (it will amplify the problem)- The real cost of waiting to invest — and the math that will shake you- How the people around you are quietly shaping your financial behavior- The difference between building YOUR wealth vs. funding everyone else'sTake action today:- Pre-order my NEW book Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck and get over $275 in free bonuses — but you must act before August 2:

Groceries are up, gas is up, and a lot of New Mexico families are doing that quiet math at the checkout line, hoping the card doesn't decline. We start with the most surprising development we've seen in a long time: a top New Mexico Democrat, Sen. George Muñoz, publicly laying out a serious case for reducing and ultimately eliminating the New Mexico state income tax. We read the strongest lines, talk about what “real relief” looks like, and why measuring government success by bigger reserves misses the point when working people are falling behind.Then we get practical about the numbers. New Mexico's oil and gas revenue and permanent fund investment returns have changed the state's balance sheet, and we break down why that matters for tax reform, take-home pay, business growth, and competitiveness with states like Texas. We also talk politics, pushback, and what it would take for enough lawmakers to actually move a bill, plus a simple step listeners can take: contacting their state representative.From there we pivot to the governor's race reality check: Deb Haaland's massive cash advantage over Gregg Hull, why “money shouldn't matter” is not a campaign plan, and how TV markets and late advertising can decide elections. We also hit two national Senate stories that reveal what primaries reward: the Maine blowup around Graham Plattner and the pressure to swap nominees, plus Michigan's Democratic split and the fear of confronting extremist rhetoric. We wrap with Mitch McConnell's reported decline and his outsized impact on the Supreme Court, then end on something actionable for families: Trump accounts, financial education, and the power of compounding interest.Subscribe, share this with a friend who cares about policy, and leave a rating and review so more people can find us.Website: https://www.nodoubtaboutitpodcast.com/Twitter: @nodoubtpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NoDoubtAboutItPod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markronchettinm/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D

Work with Paul: Schedule a 30-minute conversation As I reflect on the ideas in this podcast, I realize they all point to the same underlying principle: the importance of creating a gap in my financial life. That gap is the distance between what I earn and what I spend, between the plans I make and the unexpected events life inevitably brings. True freedom isn't about having unlimited wealth; it's about having enough margin to make choices on my own terms and adapt when circumstances change. What stands out to me is how easy it is to confuse financial success with financial security. I can have a strong income, be saving for retirement, and appear to be doing everything right, yet still be financially fragile if every dollar is already committed. Without a gap, any disruption—a job loss, medical expense, or major life change—can quickly become a crisis. The ability to make important life decisions often comes not from certainty, but from having enough financial flexibility to absorb uncertainty. The biggest lesson I take away is the importance of defining what "enough" means for me. If I never answer that question, I'll always be chasing more, constantly moving the goalpost and sacrificing time, attention, and peace of mind in the process. Financial progress isn't simply about accumulating more money; it's about maintaining the margin that gives me resilience, flexibility, and the freedom to live the life I actually want.

Are you working for a paycheck—or a commission? In this episode of The Integrated Life Podcast, host Diana Romero explores a powerful perspective shift: what if our greatest commission isn't just about what we do for a living, but how we use our lives to fulfill the Great Commission? Through the fascinating story of the tribes of Zebulun and Issachar, Diana unpacks a beautiful picture of partnership, purpose, and kingdom impact where one tribe supported the other, so God's Word could be studied, shared, and lived out. She connects this ancient wisdom to our lives today, reminding us that whether we are in ministry, business, or the workplace, we all have a role in advancing God's mission. What if your career, resources, gifts, and influence are not separate from your faith, but the very tools God wants to use for His purposes? Join Diana as she explores how we can shift from asking, "What do I want to do with my life?" or "How do I want to make a living?" to asking, "Lord, how do You want to use my life for Your mission?" ✨ Discover how your work can become mission-focused. ✨ Learn how generosity and partnership further God's Kingdom. ✨ Be encouraged to live fully integrated—faith, work, and life aligned with His calling.

If that question made your stomach drop, this one is for you. We did everything right. Went to college, got the good grades, landed the good jobs. Then 2025 showed us government jobs weren't safe, and 2026 is showing us those high income tech jobs aren't either. More than 142,000 tech workers have already lost their jobs this year, with projections close to 370,000 by year end. The wild part? A lot of these companies are more profitable than ever and still cutting people, naming AI as the reason. So let's keep it real. Having one good job is not enough anymore. That's the exact reason I got into real estate 10 years ago, before any of this, because I wanted income I could count on whether a commission came in or not. In this episode I walk you through all 8 of my current income streams and how we built each one over time, so you can start spotting the opportunities already around you. You don't need a trust fund or parents who can loan you $10,000. For first generation wealth builders, a 401k alone won't get you there. Diversification is the move, and I'm showing you what that actually looks like. Here's what we get into: 00:00 If your paycheck ended Friday, how long could you last 01:21 The jobs we thought were safe (and why they're not) 02:34 142,000 tech jobs gone in 2026 03:13 Profitable companies still laying people off 03:59 When AI became the reason 05:08 Why one good job isn't enough anymore 05:38 Why I got into real estate 10 years ago 07:52 Millionaire, but everything is still expensive 10:13 Why a 401k alone won't cut it for first gen wealth builders 11:30 My 8 streams of income, broken down The 8 streams we cover: rental income, coaching, our landscaping company, my Strive agent team, podcast sponsorships, angel investing, property management, and flipping houses.

Norman Calvo, his story has a shape that feels right.  Personality, creativity, and real-life turns. After building and selling a successful mortgage business, he decided in his 60s to reinvent himself, became a singer, performed a sold-out one-man cabaret show in Times Square, and now hosts conversations around reinvention and unconventional lives.What makes him interesting is that he is not coming in with a hard business pitch. It's more about what happens when someone chooses a completely different creative chapter later in life, and what that shift teaches about fear, identity, and starting again.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

About half of my college students shouldn't even be in my classroom. I say that as a professor at an HBCU — not from a cheap seat, but from the front of the classroom.Here's the truth nobody wants to say out loud: a 4-year degree is NOT the right path for every single person. Some of y'all are walking out with $40,000 in student loan debt for a path that was never built for who you are.In today's episode, I'm breaking down 5 skills that pay $5,000+ a week, cost less than ONE semester at a state school, and can be learned in 90 days or less. These jobs are bulletproof — they can't be done remotely, can't be offshored, and AI can't replace them.Whether you're 17 trying to figure out your next move, 35 stuck at a job that doesn't pay enough, or 50 wondering if it's too late — this episode is for you.If you're a parent watching this, please listen carefully. If your child is gifted with their hands, don't push them into a 4-year university just because that's what your generation valued. That's not love. That's pressure.This is about freedom.

Social Security is back in the headlines, with warnings about trust fund shortfalls, benefit cuts, and proposed reforms creating anxiety for retirees and pre-retirees alike. But before making emotional decisions, it's important to understand what is actually at risk, what Congress is likely to do, and how to build a retirement income plan that works regardless of future changes. Richard Rosso breaks down the latest Social Security concerns, including Larry Kotlikoff's recent warnings, the program's unfunded obligations, and the legislative proposals currently being discussed in Washington. We examine whether claiming benefits early truly protects retirees from future cuts, why delaying benefits can dramatically improve retirement income, and how coordinating Social Security with pensions, savings, annuities, and investment portfolios may help create a more reliable retirement paycheck.

Social Security is back in the headlines, with warnings about trust fund shortfalls, benefit cuts, and proposed reforms creating anxiety for retirees and pre-retirees alike. But before making emotional decisions, it's important to understand what is actually at risk, what Congress is likely to do, and how to build a retirement income plan that works regardless of future changes. Richard Rosso breaks down the latest Social Security concerns, including Larry Kotlikoff's recent warnings, the program's unfunded obligations, and the legislative proposals currently being discussed in Washington. We examine whether claiming benefits early truly protects retirees from future cuts, why delaying benefits can dramatically improve retirement income, and how coordinating Social Security with pensions, savings, annuities, and investment portfolios may help create a more reliable retirement paycheck. And we talk Rhubarb pie. We also review potential reforms, including changes to payroll tax caps, CPI calculations, customer service improvements, workforce modernization, and bipartisan efforts aimed at strengthening the long-term sustainability of the program.

Most Americans think they live in a free market.But if that's true, why do we keep ending up with fewer airlines, fewer hospitals, fewer pharmacies, fewer banks, fewer food processors, and fewer choices?In this episode of Common Sense with Chad Law, we take a hard look at the forgotten conservative history of antitrust, trustbusting, and competition. From Theodore Roosevelt and Standard Oil to Reagan and AT&T, we explore why conservatives once saw concentrated corporate power as a threat—and why that conversation disappeared.We'll break down how government intervention, regulation, consolidation, lobbying, and market concentration created an economy where giant corporations increasingly dominate healthcare, technology, food, airlines, banking, and communications.This isn't an argument against capitalism.It's an argument for competition.Because capitalism isn't giant corporations.Capitalism is the freedom to take your business somewhere else.Topics include:• Standard Oil• AT&T and the Reagan breakup• Google's dominance• Healthcare consolidation• PBMs and prescription drug costs• Food industry concentration• Defense contractor consolidation• Government regulation and barriers to entry• Competition vs competitors• Why your paycheck doesn't go as far as it used toIf you enjoy thoughtful conversations about economics, politics, public policy, and common sense solutions, subscribe and share the show.00:00 The Illusion of Monopolies00:27 The Burden of Regulation06:20 The Myth of Free Markets11:48 The Conservative Legacy of Antitrust20:00 Lessons from History: Standard Oil and AT&T26:45 The Pressure of Competition in a Free Market28:27 The Role of Conservatives in Trustbusting28:52 Government Intervention and Market Consequences31:01 The Cycle of Government Fixes and Market Distortion32:53 The Impact of Regulations on Small Businesses36:17 The Creation of Monopolies through Government Meddling38:07 The Loop of Market Concentration and Political Influence41:12 The Healthcare Market and Its Concentration46:05 The Modern Monopoly: Google and Its Influence51:42 Concentration in the Food Industry57:38 The Squeeze on Farmers and Consumers59:34 The Velvet Rope of the Food Market01:00:11 The Role of Middlemen in Healthcare01:01:33 The Airline Industry's Struggles01:03:25 Concentration of Power Across Industries01:04:10 The Confusion of Antitrust Principles01:07:46 The Shift from Building to Bargaining01:11:12 The Path to Restoring Competition01:12:19 Lessons from History: The Breakup of Ma Bell01:14:09 The Call to Action for Competition

Physicians earning $400K are living paycheck to paycheck—and an 18th-century psychology trap is why.  Roughly 30% of doctors over 60 don't have $1M in net worth, even counting their home. Justin Harvey and Dr. Jimmy Turner unpack the behavioral-finance forces—the Diderot Effect, lifestyle creep, and leverage—that quietly erode physician wealth, and the simple framework that lets you spend guilt-free while still building real options.Resources: Disability Insurance: Every physician needs Disability Insurance from MMM Disability Insurance.

I went from $6.32 in my bank account at 25 years old to a net worth millionaire — and in this video, I'm giving you the 6 things that changed everything. No theory. No Wall Street talk. Just the cookie jar on the bottom shelf truth that nobody taught us about money.If you're tired of living paycheck to paycheck, drowning in debt, or watching your money sit in a savings account that's robbing you — this video is for you, family.

Anthony O'Neal went from sleeping in his car and cutting a cheeseburger in half to make it last, to becoming a net worth millionaire who closed on the biggest home of his life. The difference was never income. It was one belief he had to break, and three shifts that changed everything.In this episode you will learn:- Why income does not fix poor money behavior (even 20% of households making over $150K live paycheck to paycheck)- Why you cannot build wealth while drowning in consumer debt- Why wealth is a behavior long before it shows up as a balance- The 5-phase Escape Plan that took Anthony from broke to freePlus the powerful story of a woman in our community who walked into her boss's office and resigned with $200,000 in the bank so she could care for her mother. That is what real freedom looks like.Anthony's brand new book, Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck, releases August 25.Pre-order today and get over $275 in free bonuses, including early access to the first chapter, the 21-Day Money Challenge, the official launch team community, and an exclusive masterclass with Durell.Pre-order here: https://anthonyoneal.com/bookIf this helped you, like the video, hit subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to hear it.ABOUT ANTHONY ONEAL:Anthony O'Neal is a nationally bestselling author, speaker, and host of The Table with Anthony O'Neal.

Every generation gets one shot. One shift that separates the families who build generational wealth from the families who watch it happen from the sidelines.Your parents' generation had the housing boom. The next had the internet. Right now, we are standing at the very beginning of the AI revolution, and here is the hard truth: only the people who are positioned get to take advantage of it.In this episode, I am not giving you a tech conversation. I am giving you a wealth conversation.

Once everything was on paper, this client and her husband could finally see what was happening, make informed decisions, and start the domino effect by selling a truck they no longer needed.The big takeaway? When money is mixed together, it gets confusing fast. But when we separate it, label it, and set up simple systems, our budget starts working for us automatically.

He shares hard‑earned lessons from past market downturns and overleveraging, explaining how a shift toward smarter debt, cash‑flowing properties, and long‑term planning turned real estate into a powerful income stream.
