As we close in on year-end, this week's “Henssler Money Talks” tackles three financial decisions that can make a major impact on your long-term plan. First, before you write that last charitable check of 2025, make sure you're doing it strategically. We break down the evolving charitable giving rules—from updated deduction limits to how Qualified Charitable Distributions and Donor Advised Funds can help you give more efficiently. Whether you donate regularly or ramp up your giving at year-end, understanding these rules can help you maximize both your impact and your tax benefit. Next, we dig into a question many listeners are asking: Should you stop saving and pay off the mortgage before retirement? While being debt-free sounds great, it may leave you “house-rich and cash-poor.” We unpack the trade-offs, including how mortgage rates compare to long-term investment returns, the risks of cutting back on 401(k) contributions, and why carrying some debt into retirement may actually support your overall financial flexibility. Finally, we explore the recommended “order to savings”—and why it's not a one-size-fits-all formula. From employer retirement plans to Roth IRAs to taxable brokerage accounts, where you save first can depend on your goals, timeline, and tax picture. We break down the most common prioritization framework and help you think through the right path for your personal situation. Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty. Henssler Money Talks — November 15, 2025  |  Season 39, Episode 46 Timestamps and Chapters 7:35: Smart Strategies for 2025 Charitable Contributions 21:32: Stop Saving to Pay Off the House?

COSTLY MISTAKES THE DOWNSIDES OF EARLY PAYOFF FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS with Sandy Hornor | CEPS Managing Director, Wealth Management & Executive Manager, BWFA and Tyler Kluge | CFP®, ChFEB℠, CPWA®, CDFA®, CEPS,  Financial Planner, BWFA About This Episode For many homeowners, paying off the mortgage feels like the ultimate financial milestone. But doing it too early can sometimes create unintended consequences. In this episode, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge explain why paying off your mortgage may not always be the best move in retirement. Full Description Owning a home free and clear is a common financial goal. It provides emotional satisfaction, eliminates a major monthly bill, and can feel like the ultimate symbol of financial security. Yet for retirees, rushing to pay off a mortgage can be a costly mistake if it disrupts cash flow or limits investment opportunities. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge explore the trade-offs of using retirement funds to eliminate mortgage debt. They explain how withdrawing large sums to pay off a loan can trigger higher taxes, reduce liquidity, and leave less money invested for growth. While debt-free living has its appeal, it may not always align with long-term financial health. Listeners will hear why context matters—interest rates, tax brackets, and income sources all play a role in whether paying off a mortgage makes sense. Sandy and Tyler share examples of retirees who balanced a modest mortgage with strong investment growth, ultimately ending up with more flexibility and wealth than if they had paid off the loan immediately. The key lesson is that mortgage decisions should be made within the larger framework of a retirement plan. By weighing both the financial and emotional aspects, retirees can choose the approach that provides confidence today while protecting future stability.

Joe Biden's former press secretary says she left the Democrat party over the way the party treated the former President. But, covering up of Biden's obvious decline decimated Karine Jean-Pierre's credibility. Is her bitterness over principle, or being left out of future party power? Or money?

Ben and Ernie take up arms in the age old personal finance battle -- pay off your debt first, or get a month ahead on your bills? While they have discussed this topic before, in today's episode they approach the two paths with a balanced view, weighing the pros and cons of each. While they have an obvious bias toward getting a month ahead on your bills, there are certain scenarios where really buckling down on paying off debt might be the best move.   The beautiful thing about this problem is that either way, you are making progress toward a better you. Simply thinking through your approach and evaluating your emotions around debt, financial resilience, and day to day expenses helps align your actions with your priorities -- and at the end of the day, that's what YNAB is all about.   Follow Budget Nerds on YouTube Budget Nerds Livestreams: https://www.youtube.com/@YNABofficial/streams Budget Nerds Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuIUGmbCDklkDCDm-cQqv2g   Share your YNAB wins with Ben and Ernie! budgetnerds@ynab.com

Rachel Maddow points out the exceptional and unusually effusive praise and thanks that Donald Trump heaped on Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, the president of Egypt, at an event tied to the Israel-Gaza ceasefire, in which Trump bizarrely mentioned his race against Hillary Clinton. The episode calls to mind a mysterious $10 million and a related investigation's questions left open-ended after Trump was inaugurated the first time.Rachel Maddow looks at recent examples of Donald Trump using the power of American taxpayers to cut deals for himself and his friends and family, and focuses on the especially galling case of Trump and his Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, sending an extraordinary $20 billion to bail out Argentina at a time when the U.S. government is closed for lack of funding.Rachel Maddow reports that the number of events planned for the "No Kings" day of protest on Saturday, October 18 already exceeds the previous "No Kings" protests that drew millions of Americans to voice their opposition to Donald Trump's overreach and attacks on democracy in the United States. Ezra Levin, co-founder and co-executive director of Indivisible, joins to discuss the planning and organizing taking place.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of the Casual Cattle Conversations podcast, Shaye talks with Tucker Brown about using social media as an alternative revenue stream for ranchers. Tucker shares his journey of leveraging platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube to not only market their cattle operations but also create a substantial income. He discusses the challenges and rewards, the transition from casual posting to serious content creation, and the impact this has had on his family's life. He also gives practical advice on storytelling, handling negative feedback, and selecting brand partnerships, emphasizing the importance of staying authentic and strategic. This insightful conversation sheds light on how ranchers, especially the younger generation, can use social media to sustain and grow their family operations while inviting more people into the world of agriculture.   Learn more about Performance Beef: https://bit.ly/47PxY3W Learn more about Red Angus here: https://bit.ly/4iaU6bb  Connect with Shaye: https://www.casualcattleconversations.com/   00:00 Introduction to the Podcast 00:41 Meet Tucker Brown: A Ranching Legacy 03:14 Social Media as a Revenue Source 05:20 The Journey and Impact of Social Media 11:22 Monetization and Brand Partnerships 16:13 Advice for Aspiring Social Media Influencers 22:06 The Long Game: Building a Sustainable Presence 24:14 Speaking Engagements and Final Thoughts
