    Creative Ways to Cut Costs—Not Joy

    Cutting your budget doesn't have to mean cutting joy out of your life. With a bit of creativity and intention, you can save money while still enjoying what truly matters. Here's how to bring more purpose—and even fun—into your spending plan.Before diving into practical steps, begin with prayer. Ask God to help you cultivate contentment, because wise spending starts with a heart that trusts Him. As Paul reminds us in 1 Timothy 6:6, “But godliness with contentment is great gain.” Budgeting isn't just about numbers; it's about aligning your heart with gratitude for what God has already provided.1. Try a “Pantry Challenge” MonthCommit to eating what you already have in your fridge, freezer, and pantry for an entire month. You'll reduce grocery spending and uncover forgotten items—maybe even a few surprises. Free apps like SuperCook or Cooklist can help you find creative recipes using your existing ingredients, turning the challenge into a fun family adventure.2. Create a Family Fun FundEntertainment doesn't have to be expensive. Set a monthly cap for fun activities and get the whole family involved in choosing them. One week could be a hike and picnic at the park; another, a cozy movie night at home with popcorn and dollar-store candy. This approach teaches that joy isn't tied to a price tag.3. Swap Babysitting with Another FamilyChildcare can be costly, but community is a gift. Partner with another family you trust to take turns watching each other's kids. One week, you get a date night, the next they do—and no one spends a dime. You'll save money, build relationships, and create margin in your budget.4. Take On One Service YourselfPick one recurring expense and try handling it yourself for a season—such as washing the car, mowing the lawn, or grooming the dog. You may save more than you expect and even gain a new skill or appreciation for the task.5. Declare a Monthly “No-Spend” WeekendChoose one weekend a month to spend nothing beyond the essentials. Use the time to rest, reconnect, and enjoy free or low-cost activities, such as playing board games, going for a hike, or visiting the library. Turn it into a family challenge by deciding together how to use the extra savings for giving, saving, or a future treat.6. Practice the 30-Day RuleWhen tempted by a big purchase—like a gadget or appliance—write it down with the date and wait 30 days. If you still want it and it fits the budget after a month, you can move forward with confidence. More often than not, the urge will pass, and you'll keep your money where it belongs.None of these ideas is earth-shattering—and that's the beauty of them. Real transformation often comes from small, consistent decisions: choosing contentment over consumption, planning over impulse. Each intentional step strengthens your financial stewardship and, even more importantly, your trust in God.When your kids see you making wise choices, they learn the importance of being a good steward. When your spouse feels included, it builds unity. And when you invite God into your day-to-day financial decisions—even the small ones—you'll see His faithfulness in significant ways.A Tool to Help You Stay on Track: The FaithFi AppIf you're ready to take the next step in intentional budgeting, the FaithFi app is a great place to start. It helps you track spending, build margin, and grow in biblical wisdom—all in one place.

    If you've saved more than a million dollars, that puts you ahead of 90% of your peers. Statistically, that makes you a super saver. But one of the biggest challenges super savers face is this: it's hard to spend your own money. In this episode, I share one exercise that can help break some of those old habits and open the door to a more fulfilling retirement. A Practical Exercise  Think back over the last year or two and pick a trip that you really enjoyed. Itemize all the spending decisions you can remember:  Where did you go? How did you get there? How long did you stay? What did you eat? What souvenirs did you buy?
 Take each line item and triple it. Then think of two or three ways you could possibly spend that new tripled amount.  Listen to the rest of the episode and learn how we can rewire our brains from saving mode to spending mode.   Connect with Benjamin Brandt Get the Retire-Ready Toolkit: http://retirementstartstodayradio.com Subscribe to the newsletter: https://retirementstartstodayradio.com/newsletter Work with Benjamin: https://retirementstartstoday.com/start Follow Retirement Starts Today in:Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Amazon Music, or iHeart  Get the book!Retirement Starts Today: Your Non-financial Guide to an Even Better Retirement

    Does Your Work Need A New Story? with Dr. Tom Nelson

    What if your work isn't just a job—but part of God's bigger story for your life?For some, work is a source of stress, struggle, or simply something to endure. But what if we're seeing it all wrong? What if God designed work to be a vital part of how we worship Him and serve others? Dr. Tom Nelson joins us today to talk about that. Dr. Tom Nelson is the President of Made to Flourish and has served as the Senior Pastor of Christ Community Church, a multi-site congregation across Kansas City, for over 30 years. He is also the author of Why Your Work Matters: How God Uses Our Everyday Vocations to Transform Us, Our Neighbors, and the World.False Narratives About WorkCulture tells us many things about work—most of them untrue.“Thank God it's Friday” reflects the belief that work is a curse and that our real lives happen only on weekends.Work as mere productivity reduces our calling to a paycheck or to-do list.Sacred vs. secular divide suggests ministry work matters more than other vocations.However, if we return to Genesis 1 and 2, we find that work is not a curse. Work is God's good design. Whether paid or unpaid, our work is part of how we glorify Him.The Four-Chapter Story of WorkDr. Tom Nelson uses a “four-chapter” framework to show how the Bible shapes a proper view of work:Creation – What Ought to Be. God designed work as a gift and a reflection of His image. Work and worship were never meant to be separate.The Fall – What Is. Sin corrupted work, introducing toil, frustration, and broken relationships.Redemption – What Can Be. Through Christ, our work can be redeemed. Whether changing diapers, leading a company, or volunteering, we bring God's presence into every environment.New Creation – What Will Be. One day, we will experience work in its perfect form—creative, joyful, and without sin—in God's restored Kingdom.One of the most transformative ideas to remember is that all work done for God's glory is sacred. Work is contribution, not just compensation. We carry God's presence with us into our workplaces because the Holy Spirit dwells within us.This perspective breaks down the artificial barrier between “spiritual” and “secular” work. It gives believers a seamless life of worship—Sunday through Monday.Hope for the FutureWe won't spend eternity sitting on clouds. Revelation offers us a glimpse of a garden city where we will worship Jesus and engage in creative, joyful work—free from sin, frustration, and the need for perfect relationships with God and others.If you've believed that your work doesn't matter, be encouraged that you were created with work in mind. God is with you in your work. When you embrace Jesus and become His apprentice, you'll learn to live a seamless life where every task, big or small, can glorify Him.Dr. Tom Nelson's latest book, Why Your Work Matters: How God Uses Our Everyday Vocations to Transform Us, Our Neighbors, and the World, is available wherever books are sold. To learn more about integrating faith and work, visit MadeToFlourish.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'd like advice on how to invest between $30,000 and $60,000 to generate steady monthly or quarterly dividends. My goal is to cover about $150 a month to help with some expenses.I've been on SSDI for about five or six years due to health issues, and I also earn about $1,400 a month from a part-time job. Am I allowed to contribute to an IRA with this income?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Made to FlourishWhy Your Work Matters: How God Uses Our Everyday Vocations to Transform Us, Our Neighbors, and the World by Dr. Tom NelsonCommon Good MagazineBankrate.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.

    “One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.” —Proverbs 11:24Scripture calls us to be both wise savers and generous givers—but holding those two together can feel like a tension. How do we avoid fear on one side and foolishness on the other? Dr. Shane Enete joins us today to show how these two principles actually go hand in hand.Dr. Shane Enete is an Associate Professor of Finance at Biola University and founded the Biola Center for Financial Planning. He is also the author of the book Whole Heart Finances: A Jesus-Centered Guide to Managing Your Money with Joy.Living in the TensionJohn Wesley famously wrote, “Earn all you can, save all you can, give all you can.” It sounds simple enough, but when you sit down with a budget, the statement can feel more like a paradox than a plan. After all, how can you both save as much as you can and give as much as you can? At some point, choices must be made.Rather than resolving the paradox with rigid rules, we encourage believers to embrace the complexity as part of the Christian life.In the absence of clarity, many of us make rules. One common example is the “80/10/10 rule”—give 10%, save 10%, and live on the remaining 80%. While this framework may be helpful, we must also be cautious that this can risk reducing Christian stewardship to legalism.The Christian life is a paradox. Christ Himself is a paradox—fully God and fully man. When we encounter a paradox, we shouldn't flatten it into a rule. Instead, we're invited into a relationship with God and to walk with Him in the tension.Stewardship as ArtSo how do we approach the paradox of saving and giving without rigid formulas? We should think of stewardship more as an art rather than a science. Just as Jesus used metaphors—such as sheep, seeds, trees, and vines—to describe the mysteries of the Kingdom, we too can use metaphors to navigate the complexity of money.Art allows us to co-create with God, and it moves us from rule-keeping to relationship, from legalism to a life that draws us closer to Him and to one another.One compelling metaphor is water. Water is life-giving when it flows, but when it stagnates, it becomes toxic. In the same way, money is meant to flow—received from God and passed on to bless others.Of course, saving is still essential—as it's like a reservoir that ensures water can flow steadily—but the point is not the reservoir itself. It's the flow that revitalizes both the giver and those who receive.The call to “save all you can, give all you can” is not a puzzle to be solved but a paradox to be lived. By resisting the urge to reduce it to rigid formulas and instead embracing stewardship as a creative act with God, we discover a more life-giving way to approach money. The flow is what matters. That's what brings life.You can read Dr. Enete's full article—and gain access to other exclusive resources—by becoming a FaithFi Partner.

    Success in business and investing often gets framed as tactics, strategy, or sheer hustle. But according to David Bayer—renowned mindset and performance coach, transformational speaker, and founder of the Powerful Living Experience—the real driver isn't what you do, it's the state of mind you operate from.David has guided thousands of entrepreneurs and leaders through his coaching programs, live events, and his book A Changed Mind, helping them rewire limiting beliefs, heal past trauma, and unlock exponential growth. His work blends neuroscience, psychology, spirituality, and business strategy into practical tools that create real transformation.In this episode, he breaks down his framework for Mindset 2.0—a shift from simply recognizing limiting beliefs to actually rewiring them at the neurological level. He explains why your thoughts create the states you live in, how to move from “primal” states of stress into “powerful” states of clarity, and why the quality of your inner game determines the quality of your results. David also reveals his deceptively simple but life-changing formula: Desire + Non-Resistance = Desired Result. Instead of pushing harder or grinding longer, the path to wealth, peace, and fulfillment comes from removing the resistance built into your thinking.If you've been stuck in stress, chasing success but feeling misaligned, this conversation will show you how to rewire your beliefs, unlock energy, and create results that flow with far less effort. In this episode, you'll learn: 1.) How to rewire limiting beliefs with Mindset 2.0 — and why shifting from “primal” states into “powerful” states changes the way you think, feel, and make decisions.2.) The simple formula to achieve anything in life — David's proven framework for turning desire into results without relying on hustle or grind.3.) Why your reactions reveal your beliefs — and how frustration in business (or life) is never caused by the circumstance itself, but by what you believe underneath it.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/253Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

    It's easy to believe that having more money would fix everything—that if we just had enough, life would finally feel secure, peaceful, and even meaningful.From lotteries to luxury ads, our world constantly tells us that more wealth is the goal. But Scripture invites us to ask a better question: not how much money do I have?—but why do I want it in the first place?Money itself isn't the problem. Scripture never condemns wealth. But it does warn us about the heart behind it. The late Larry Burkett, a mentor to many in biblical finance, once said there are seven reasons people pursue wealth—and six of them can lead us astray. Why? Because when money becomes our focus, it often takes the place of God.Before we talk about how to use it, we need to ask: What's driving us to accumulate it?1. ConformitySome pursue wealth simply because everyone else is. Whether from family pressure or cultural expectations, they chase money without asking if it's what God wants.Romans 12:2 reminds us: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” God calls us to live in alignment with His Kingdom—not the world's standards.2. EnvyOthers look at their neighbor's lifestyle and crave the same.Ecclesiastes 4:4 says: “All toil and all achievement spring from one person's envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”Envy leaves us restless—always reaching, never resting.3. CompetitionFor some, wealth is a scoreboard. It's not about having enough—it's about having more than others.But when competition drives us, life becomes a race, and people become obstacles. Philippians 2:3 offers a better way: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.”Kingdom living doesn't play to win—it plays to serve.4. EgoMany tie wealth to identity. They want to be seen as successful, admired, and important. Even their giving can become a form of self-promotion.Paul redirects us in 1 Timothy 6:17: “Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth … but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.”Wealth isn't a trophy—it's a tool.5. Love of MoneySome simply love money. They obsess over their accounts and fear losing it.1 Timothy 6:10 warns: “The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” This isn't about having money—it's about being ruled by it.6. SecurityOthers pursue wealth out of fear. Wealth can create the illusion of safety.Proverbs 18:11 says: “The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it a wall too high to scale.”But that security is imagined. Real peace doesn't come from what we've saved, but from the One who holds us.7. Generosity: The One Good ReasonSo, what's the one God-honoring reason to build wealth? To give it away.Generosity flows from a heart that sees money not as a possession to protect, but as a tool to serve. Jesus summarized this in Matthew 22:37–39: “Love the Lord your God … and love your neighbor as yourself.”Dr. Justo González notes in Teach Us to Pray that when we ask for “our daily bread” in the Lord's Prayer, it's a communal request. If we have more than we need today, it's not accidental—it's providential. What's in your hands may be God's answer to someone else's prayer.St. Augustine put it this way: “Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need; the remainder is needed by others.”The early church modeled this in Acts 4:34: “There was not a needy person among them.”The Call to StewardshipBuilding wealth isn't about hoarding or raising our net worth. It's about aligning resources with God's purposes and becoming participants in His provision for others.When financial goals are rooted in love for God and neighbor, wealth becomes a ministry—not a measure of success.Let God reshape your reason for building wealth, and discover the joy of using what He's given you to bless others and glorify Him.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'd like to understand what a real estate investment trust (REIT) is and how it works, especially in relation to my retirement savings. Do REITs tend to lose value over time?I'm thinking about selling my house and moving into a 55-plus community. Would it make sense to use the equity from my home to pay off my mortgage and credit card debt, thereby simplifying my finances?I'm trying to set up a trust and would like to know what to expect in terms of pricing. Is there a standard fee, or are there other factors I should be considering?My husband recently passed away and left me a significant amount of money. Since he handled all our finances, I'm unsure whether I should invest in annuities or spread the money across various investments. What would you recommend?I received a letter from the IRS about a retirement account in another state that I'd completely forgotten about. I've tried contacting my former employer, but can't locate the account. Should I be concerned, or will the IRS resolve this issue?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wise Women Managing Money: Expert Advice on Debt, Wealth, Budgeting, and More by Miriam Neff and Valerie Neff Hogan, J.D. National Registry of Unclaimed Retirement BenefitsWisdom 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.

    When it comes to our finances, we often wonder: Where does God's provision end and our responsibility begin? Should we simply wait and trust Him—or get to work and provide for ourselves?The truth is, it's not either-or. God calls us to both trust Him and participate in His provision. Not because He needs our help, but because He delights in working through us.Avoiding Two ExtremesYou've likely heard the phrase, “Let go and let God.” While it sounds spiritual, it can sometimes lead to passivity. On the other end of the spectrum, some of us live as if everything depends on us—hustling, stressing, and striving in our own strength.Scripture offers a better way: a life of faith that doesn't ignore work, and a life of work that doesn't ignore faith. God invites us into a partnership—trusting His sovereignty while faithfully engaging in our responsibilities.Paul writes in 2 Timothy 2:6, “It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops.” The farmer can't make the rain fall or the seeds grow, yet he tills, plants, and harvests. He works diligently while depending entirely on God for the increase.In the same way, we can't control the economy or prevent every financial emergency—but we can make wise choices. By living below our means, avoiding debt, and giving generously, we acknowledge God as our Provider while faithfully stewarding what He entrusts to us.God Provides—We ParticipatePsalm 104:14 reminds us, “You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate.” God causes the growth, yet invites us to cultivate it. His provision is not a one-sided transaction—it's a relationship.We see this throughout Scripture. When Jesus fed the 5,000, He didn't create food out of thin air. Instead, He multiplied a boy's simple lunch. God chooses to involve us, not because He lacks resources, but because He delights in using us to bless others.God's Word makes it clear that provision and work go hand in hand.Ephesians 4:28 urges, “Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor… so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.”1 Thessalonians 4:11–12 calls us to “work with your hands… so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.”Laziness is never encouraged, but neither is frantic self-reliance. Instead, Scripture calls us to wise diligence rooted in God's faithfulness.Stewardship means recognizing that everything belongs to God. We are not owners but managers, entrusted with His resources to reflect His character.And His provision is never just for us. Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 9:10–11, “He who supplies seed to the sower… will supply and multiply your seed for sowing… You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way.”God enriches us so that generosity might overflow through us—producing thanksgiving to Him.Living in the Beautiful In-BetweenSo how do we balance trust in God's provision with active participation?Pray before you plan—inviting God into your financial goals.Work with diligence, not fear—resting in His faithfulness, not your performance.Give generously—not because God needs your money, but because He invites you to reflect His heart.Rest confidently—knowing God is at work even when you sleep.At the end of the day, God delights in using ordinary people with ordinary means to display His extraordinary grace. He is the Provider, and we have the privilege of being His participants.Provision, then, is not just about a paycheck—it's about a partnership. Let's stop asking whether it's “all up to us” or “all up to God” and embrace the beautiful in-between: trusting Him, working faithfully, and joining Him in the joy of provision.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My wife and I inherited a house from a family member in another state. We'd like to keep it available for friends, family, or church members to use, rather than renting it out. What do you think about that approach?My wife and I are in our early 80s. Years ago, we used our Roth IRAs to pay off our home, allowing us to live debt-free in retirement. We use our IRA for charitable giving, but with the rising cost of living, I'm wondering if a reverse mortgage could be a smart tool. What's your advice?If I already have a living will, will my assets still need to go through the probate process?I've had a long-term care policy since 2018 with $400,000 in coverage, but I was told there's a six-month waiting period before it pays out. That seems long to me. Should I consider canceling the policy?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom 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.

    Redefining retirement with purpose and adventureJohn and Bev retired at 55, sold almost everything, and traded their dream home for two backpacks, golf clubs, and a life of full-time travel. Since then, they have visited 107 countries and all 50 states as “The Retirement Travelers.”Their journey began during COVID, when cancelled plans led to an Airstream trip across America's national parks. Living in 220 square feet showed them how little they truly needed—freeing them to downsize, travel, and focus on experiences over possessions.With Bev's MS diagnosis adding urgency, they embraced their “go-go years” while working closely with financial planners to ensure their plan supported their lifestyle. They now share stories, practical tips, and inspiration through their platform, proving meaningful travel does not require expensive, tourist-heavy destinations.Their message is simple: whatever your dream is, pursue it now.Learn more here: https://www.retirementtravelers.com_ Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.
