Kelly Mielke and I decided to discuss this heartwarming and unforgettable episode while also doing a crossover with our other podcast, LandonNation! We break down this amazing episode and I hope you enjoy it! “Ingalls and his employer Mr. Hansen are anticipating a large income from a big job they have done. The Ingalls plan to pay their bill at the Mercantile store and more. Unfortunately, when Mr. Hansen learns that his client cannot pay, that means he cannot pay Mr. Ingalls and has to close his mill. With the bonus income lost, and the lack of regular income, the family has to think how they will pay their debts and keep up their other duties. Mr. Ingalls works for the livery owner, grooming and caring for the horses he owns. Once done there, he works for a local farmer to fix an irrigation system on his property. But, the women of the family want to help, too. Caroline and Laura plant a double crop of vegetables for the winter and plan to sell the eggs as they have been collecting. Mary plans to leave school temporarily to work for Mrs. Whipple, the seamstress, sewing assorted clothing items for ladies of the community. Laura continues in school, bringing home lessons to Mary so she doesn’t get behind on her schoolwork. When she herself gets behind on turning in her homework, she tells Miss Beadle she ran out of tablet paper and doesn’t want to ask her father to buy it. Miss Beadle offers a solution to the problem and all is much better.” The Richest Man in Walnut Grove originally aired on September 10, 1975 The opening song “Albert” is written and performed by the amazing Norwegian band, Project Brundlefly and is used with permission.

Part 1:We talk with T. Christian Miller, reporter for ProPublica.We discuss the case currently in Louisiana courts. Blue Cross/Blue Shield is appealing a judgement that was rendered by a jury after 18 years of litigation. The Jury was out for two hours of deliberation. The case covered "prior authorization" for procedures which BC/BS refused to pay, even after authorization was given. Many interesting arguments were presented by BC/BS to avoid payment. A story of bad faith by the health insurer.Part 2:We talk with Regina Mahone, Senior Editor at The Nation.Regina describes the painful story of a young woman who was denied timely medical care in Georgia, due to its anti-abortion law. The woman, Amber Nicole Thurman, died of sepsis because of delay in treatment. The case was reviewed by a state Board, but the results of the review were not made public, and the Review Board was dismissed. New Board members' names are now secret. In Texas, that Review Board is also keeping names of Board members secret, as well as keeping results secret.We discuss the problems caused by this secret-keeping of the treatment of women's health denial and consideration. We note that Black women are three to four times as likely to die from these kinds medical neglect. Anti-abortion laws in these states are exacerbating these problems for women's health.  Music: From David Rovics, “The Richest Man in the World Says So”, 2025WNHN.ORG production

Jackson, Jr., Professor of History and Philosophy of Science,Michigan State UniversityProfessor Jackson writes in the area ofhistory and philosophy of science, especially the scientific study of race in the United States. He has authored, co-authored, or edited six books.We discuss the social construct of 'race' in the US.We examine how 'race' is human invention, a way to distinguish between people who may represent something different from our near acquaintances, and who may somehow represent a threat. We can thus justify enslaving and mistreating others by whatever physical characteristic that we chose to focus on. We look the history of 'othering' people in the US, and how this has become entrenched.Part 2:We talk with Lori Wallach, J.D., who is the director of the Rethink Trade program at the American Economic Liberties Project.She is also Senior Advisor to the Citizens Trade Campaign, the U.S. national trade justice coalition of unions and environmental, consumer, faith, family farm and other groups.We discuss the history and uses of tariffs, specifically in the US. They should not be directly related to the trade deficit, because their imposition may not reduce this type of deficit. We look at the WTO rules, and how this has led to the US trade deficit, de-industrialization, and income inequality. Tariffs, if coupled with resilience reform, could address problems. However, specific behaviors must be targeted. We discuss which behaviors should be targeted in trading partners. Music: From David Rovics, “The Richest Man in the World Says So”, 2025WNHN.ORG production

It appears that he is determined to destroy the government of the US.A lot of 'cover' talk that the administration is engaging in now concentrates on using what it is characterizing as 'antisemitism' to use against those who disagree with the administration. Many American Jews know this is a pretext for the administration's actions against universities, law firms, and other organizations.Migrants' social security numbers are being deactivated into 'death files', thus making them invisible, and unable to use banks, get employment, or any similar actions. This dehumanization is deliberate.We discuss the actions of the administration with respect to a LEGAL resident who was abducted by ICE and sent to a Salvadorian prison with no due process.

This is a war against workers.Part 2:We talk with Jessica Piper, reporter at Politico.We discuss the recent presidential election, and the shifts in voting, particularly the shifts among Hispanic voters.

We note that this seems almost as a designed distraction from the other actions that are being taken by Trump, such as shutting down various agencies and denying allocated money to programs.Goodman also discusses the poor intelligence being presented to the Defense Department, through the flawed and slanted "threat assessment" reports. Everything seems to be by 'seat-of-pants' rather than real analysis. "Incompetent liars are in charge." Music: From David Rovics, “The Richest Man in the World Says So”, 2025

This is a panel discussion.Topics covered:- The administration is targeting speech-The disagreement with Canada is worsening daily, fueled by Trump's accusing Canada for treating the US unfairly.=People are being kidnapped with no wattants, and being deported, despite the illegality.-Democratic Party are mostly clueless, and are not taking organized action-The tole of DOGE continues to grow.-Powerful law firms are capitulating to Trump, as are powerful universities. Music: From David Rovics, “The Richest Man in the World Says So”, 2025

Featured speakers/guests:Part 1:We talk with Joe Jaworski, host of "The Midterms", and former mayor of Galveston, Tx.We discuss the censorship of speech and thought in Texas. We also discuss the makeup of the Texas legislature, and the likely issues that they will take up. One of them is the school voucher program, which the governor has pushed. We discuss the 'voucher profiteers' now in Texas.Part 2:We talk with Bill Curry and Robert Hockett. Curry is a former legislator in Connecticut, white house aide, and two-time candidate for Governor in Connecticut. Robert Hockett is a professor.We discuss the recent spate of 'disappearances' caused by ICE's abduction of persons who have voiced their opposition to the Trump campaign of random deportations. Masked ICR agents have abducted various people, without warrants, and have transported them to different states and countries. This is in direct contravention to a judge's ruling that this is not legal or warranted. The administration has threatened judge impeachments and withholding funding to the court systems. Those that have been disappeared are labeled as "pre-guilty', in contradiction to the Constitution's guarantees. This assault on persons, the law, and the courts is unprecedented, and reminiscent of Nazi Germany, to many. Music: From David Rovics, “The Richest Man in the World Says So”, 2025

Part 1:We talk with John Nichols, a national affairs correspondent for The Nation. He has written, cowritten, or edited over a dozen books on topics ranging from histories of American socialism and the Democratic Party to analyses of US and global media systems. His latest, cowritten with Senator Bernie Sanders, is the New York Times bestseller, It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism.We discuss Musk's involvement in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race.We also talk about the latest Trump administration scandal: the attack plan against the Houhtis being discussed on Signal, a commercial chat. What will be White House do? Who, if anyone will be fired?Part 2:Race Class, with Jonathan Feingold.Ep. 39 | How Trump is Deploying Anti-Blackness and Antisemitism to Crush AmericaWe recorded about twelve hours after federal officers abducted a Tufts University graduate student. The student's apparent "transgression"? Writing an op-ed in Tufts' student newspaper advocating for Tufts to divest from Israel.To understand how we've reached this moment, we begin to unpack how President Trump is wielding both anti-Black racism and antisemitism to crush American democracy. The truth is, Trump is a terrific story teller. The story he's telling us, now, to justify his assault on our universities and our students marshals race as a political weapon. Trump is cementing a predictably fascist "us v. them" narrative that defines whiteness by Black inferiority and locates Jews as a scapegoat for his most vicious attacks on civil rights and democratic norms. Music: From David Rovics, “The Richest Man in the World Says So”, 2025

Part 1: We talk with Patrik Jonsson, Christian Science Monitor Georgia Bureau Chief.We discuss the increasing violence in the US. This includes the domestic extremism and police violence against citizens. What is currently endorsed by the government? "Everything everywhere all at once" .Part 2:We tak with Ron Abramson, Chair of Shaheen & Gordons Immigration Law Group.Ronald Abramson encabeza el Grupo de Inmigracion en el despacho de Shaheen y Gordon.We discuss the recent deportations of Venezuelans swept up in raids, some for only having tattoos. Fear is growing among immigrants across the country. This includes the undocumented, green card holders, and naturalized citizens, and, even born citizens. Immigration lawyers are being targeted. People are being abducted and are disappearing. The Democratic Party's response is disappointing.  Music: From David Rovics, “The Richest Man in the World Says So”, 2025

Part 1:We talk with Jeet Heer, National Affairs Correspondent, The NationWe discuss the behavior of the Democratic Party. The are ineffectual, and leadership is lacking, with the exception of Bernie Sanders and AOC. They are following a program of cowardice, as exemplified by Schumer. Large law firms are caving to trumpists. Judges are at risk, with threats being uttered. When will it be 'enough' to make voters react?Part 2:We talk with Eamon Whalen, a freelance journalist who writes about the right wing, and about the 'masculinity culture'.We discuss with Mr. Whalen the 'crisis of masculinity, and its implications. Specifically, he writes about Richard Reeves, who is pushing this concept. Rather than concentrating on which MEN are pushing men, and others down, the theory goes that it is WOMEN who are pushing men, especially young men, down. This masculinity movement scapegoats women. Music: From David Rovics, “The Richest Man in the World Says So”, 2025

Part 1:We talk with Jeremy Schwartz, investigative reporter for ProPublica.We discuss the elections to school boards in Texas. We look at the difference between 'at-large' elections and 'within district' elections. We note that in the 'at-large' elections, the school board members who are chosen concentrate less on education than on culture wars. Actual parents have less input. In 'within-district' elections, school board members are more likely to be focused on education. We discuss election funding, and how this will affect education in future.Part 2:We talk with Bill Curry and David Atkins. Bill Curry was a Connecticut state senator, comptroller and two time Democratic nominee for governor who served as Counselor to the President in the Clinton White House. He has written for Salon, the Daily Beast, the HuffingtonPost and the HartfordCourant and has provided commentary on National Public Radio, MSNBC and many other news outlets.David Atkins is aWashington Monthlycontributing writer, activist, and research professional living in Santa Barbara as well as an elected DNC Member from California. He is president of The Pollux Group, a qualitative research firm.We discuss Chuck Schumer's vote for the Republican budget, in opposition to the Democratic members of Congress who voted against it, and most of the other Democratic members of the Senate. It seems that Schumer believes that it is politics as usual, despite evidence to the contrary.We also discuss the administration's attacks on universities. It is a part of the culture war against liberalism.  Music: From David Rovics, “The Richest Man in the World Says So”, 2025

We discuss the rationale, and what the various implications are.Part 2: We talk with Alison Phllips, Professor of Psychology, and with Julia Standefer, Ph.D. student. Both are at Iowa State University.We discuss the states (all except Vermont), who have introduced anti-trans legislation. We examine the underlying reasons for this, and how this affects our society.  Music: From David Rovics, “The Richest Man in the World Says So”, 2025

Part 1:We talk with Katharine Stewart, investigative reporter, and author of two recent books, "The Power Worshipers", and "Money, Lies, and God,"We discuss the tactics of the US christian right, and how their goal is to crush liberalism and democracy in the US and other countries. How the christian right uses disinformation to to sway people to their view, and confuse people.Part 2:We talk with Nathan Meyers, Ph.D. candidate in sociology at U Mass Amherst.We discuss how Trump uses his power to privatize government functions, to 'prove' how inefficient government is. This is part of his war on the US government, and the labor unions. By portraying the government as too expensive, and not effective, he hopes to eliminate it. Music: From David Rovics, “The Richest Man in the World Says So”, 2025

Part 1:We talk with Aaron Regunberg, the Contributing Editor at The New Republic, and Senior Climate Policy Counsel at Public Citizen.We discuss the Bernie Sanders tour of the US, and the reception Sanders is getting from many people.It is important to note that the fastest growing demographic in the US is billionaires.

U Mass Amherst.We discuss the likely effects of the dismantling of air quality rules, as is being done by DOGE. The air quality in the US as a result of years of rules has markedly improved.

Welcome to episode 81 of the One for the Money podcast. I am always glad and grateful you have taken the time to listen. There are a host of options when it comes to investing and there is an order of priority in which these should occur. In this episode, I'll share my thoughts on that order. In the tips, tricks, and strategies portion, I will share a tip regarding 401k contributions for those nearing retirement.In this episode...Cash Flow Management [1:58]Emergency Fund [4:17]Contributing up to Company Match [5:51]Paying Down High-Interest Debt [6:20]Funding an HSA [7:50]Saving Further into a 401(k)/IRA [9:03]Extra Savings [10:12]I recently re-read the classic book, The Richest Man in Babylon. It's a great story on how simple steps can help one build wealth, even those who are mired in debt. The truths contained therein are conveyed so well through the story that I'm having my oldest two boys read the book. In the book The Richest Man in Babylon, its emphasis was more on savings than investing. Presently there are almost countless ways one can invest. For that reason and others the investment world can be overwhelming and as a result, many choose not to participate. And that is literally and figuratively unfortunate as far too many fail to make small changes that over time have massive results. This episode is meant to help demystify which investments one should select and in what order. But of course, before we can even think of investing we need to ensure we are monitoring our cash flow. That is the money coming in and the money going out. Some call that a spending plan others call it a budget. I'll go with the former as it seems more palatable and less restrictive than a budget.The general rule of thumb when it comes to spending plans is pretty straightforward. One should allocate ~20% of your spending plan to your savings. Those savings can include an emergency fund as well as your retirement and non-retirement savings vehicles. I mention savings first as you should always get in the habit of paying yourself first. It's an absolute game-changer. As Warren Buffett said so well, Do not save what is left after spending but spend what is left after saving.Approximately ~50% of one's budget should be spent on their needs. This would include housing (be it a mortgage or rent), groceries, electricity, transportation, etc. Finally, ~30% of your budget should be allocated to your wants such as a gym membership, eating out at restaurants, travel, etc. However, this should only be the case if all one's higher interest-rate debt is paid off. I would define higher-interest debt as over 6% which is not your mortgage. Now some might argue that one's health is paramount and that you should devote money to gym memberships, etc. I agree that one's health is critical as I recently shared in episode 78 how the first wealth is health, but one can work out without the need of a gym. Additionally, one can eat without the need to go to a restaurant. For those reasons, these are considered “wants instead of their needs” expenditures. Now that I've set a framework regarding cash flow planning the next step is to consider what should be the order of where one puts their money. This may seem similar to the baby steps that Dave Ramsey has made famous. I will share a few key differences between those steps. Dave's Ramsey's Baby Steps are great as a general rule and the impact he has had on thousands upon thousands of Americans is nothing short of remarkable so I'm in no way trying to belittle his steps. The first step, which I will call 1a, which is similar to Dave Ramseys, is building up an emergency fund. As JP Morgan notes in its Guide to Retirement - Life is uncertain –spending shocks and/or job losses can happen at any time. Emergency savings can...
