Podcasts about Saving

What are the biggest financial questions people keep asking—and are we answering them the right way? The questions we wrestle with about money often reveal something deeper. They expose our fears, our hopes, and what we truly believe about God's provision. That's why financial wisdom must go beyond spreadsheets and strategies. It must address the heart. Sharon Epps, president of Kingdom Advisors, joins us to unpack what financial advisors across the country are hearing from their clients. While the seasons of life may vary, many of the same questions keep surfacing—and those questions often reveal concerns that go deeper than dollars and cents. The Questions People Keep Asking As Kingdom Advisors stays connected with financial professionals across the country, certain questions continue to surface. According to Sharon, three of the most common are: How much is enough? How do I prepare the next steward? How do I give intentionally? Each question involves real financial decisions, but each one also reveals something about the heart. They are not merely questions about money. They are questions about security, legacy, generosity, and trust. How Much Is Enough? At first glance, “How much is enough?” sounds like a numbers question. People want to know how much they should save, how much they need for retirement, or how much margin they need to feel secure. But beneath the question is often a deeper concern: Will I be okay? Will my family be okay? That's why a purely financial answer can fall short. A typical financial plan may focus mainly on accumulation—building as much as possible to create a sense of safety. Saving wisely is important, but from a biblical perspective, accumulation alone cannot provide lasting peace. A stewardship approach asks a different question. It still considers the numbers, but it also recognizes that God is our provider. Enough is not merely a financial target. It is also a posture of the heart shaped by contentment, trust, and faithfulness. Preparing the Next Steward Another question many people ask is, “How do I prepare the next steward?” This often becomes urgent as people approach retirement or begin thinking about estate planning. But Sharon points out that preparing the next steward should not be delayed until later in life. It is something we should consider throughout our lifetime. That's because stewardship is not only about passing on wealth. It is about passing on wisdom, values, and a vision for faithfulness. Proverbs 13:22 says, “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children.” While that certainly can include financial inheritance, it should not be limited to money. A truly meaningful inheritance includes biblical wisdom, godly character, and a clear understanding of how to steward resources. As Ron Blue has often said, estate planning is incomplete if it only focuses on wealth transfer. The greater goal is the transfer of wisdom before wealth. Giving Intentionally The third question Sharon says advisors frequently hear is, “How do I give intentionally?” This question moves generosity beyond impulse or obligation. It invites us to think carefully about how God may be calling us to use what He has entrusted to us for His Kingdom. Intentional giving requires prayer, planning, and a willingness to align our resources with our deepest convictions. It asks not simply, “How much can I give?” but “How can my giving reflect God's generosity and advance His purposes?” A Resource for Deeper Stewardship These recurring questions helped inspire FaithFi's new Field Guides—practical resources designed to help people work through major financial questions with both technical clarity and biblical wisdom. The first Field Guide, How Much Money Is Enough?, helps readers think carefully about contentment, provision, and defining “enough” through a biblical lens. Because the questions we ask about money often point to deeper matters of the heart, we need more than financial information. We need wisdom rooted in God's Word.

On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: In my divorce, I was awarded my ex-husband's tax-deferred savings plan. It was originally $14,000 and grew to about $17,000 before being transferred to another bank. In 2020, when I tried to access the money, the bank said they couldn't find it in their system and suggested it might be in storage records. They still haven't located it. What steps can I take to recover those funds? I'm 56, a state employee, and about to take early retirement. I'll have healthcare covered, a pension of about $1,400 a month, and I'm moving into a private-sector job that pays more than I make now. My only debts are a $148,000 mortgage at 6% and an $11,000 home equity line at 7%. Should I invest the pension for retirement in about 10 years, or use it to pay down debt? I'm turning 65 in June. I received a Social Security letter stating that if I respond between December 1, 2025, and June 1, 2026, my claim would start at age 64½, backdated to December, rather than age 65. Since I didn't start this process, why would they begin my benefits at 64½ rather than letting me claim at 65? My wife recently left a job after 30 years and is starting with a new company. We're considering rolling her old retirement plan into an IRA at Schwab, but she wonders whether the money will grow more slowly if it's split between an IRA and her new employer's plan. Does retirement money need to be in one account to ‘grow together,' or is it fine to keep it in separate accounts?

James Lenhoff, financial planner, pastor, and president of Good Sense Movement, shares how a series of pivotal moments reshaped his understanding of money and calling. After early success helping clients build wealth, the sudden passing of several clients in 2010 confronted him with the reality of accumulated regret and redirected his focus toward faithful stewardship. Influenced by experiences like a mission trip to Haiti and years of intimate conversations with clients, James began to see wealth not as personal security, but as something entrusted by God for a greater purpose.  Through his work with WealthQuest and Good Sense, James helps individuals and families define “enough” by setting financial finish lines, creating margin for generosity, peace, and obedience. He emphasizes shifting from ownership to stewardship, involving family in financial decisions, and using money as a tool for Kingdom impact. His approach addresses both practical habits and deeper heart issues, offering a path toward freedom from fear, comparison, and overconsumption. Consider what “enough” looks like in your own life and how that clarity might reshape your trust, priorities, and generosity. Major Topics Include: Defining “enough” to unlock freedom and generosity Stewardship mindset versus ownership mentality Avoiding regret of over-accumulation and delayed generosity Lifestyle cap as a framework for contentment Family involvement in financial decision-making Margin as the goal of a financial finish line Heart issues driving financial behavior and debt Generosity fueled by purpose, not obligation Saving as preparation for future obedience Integrating faith into financial planning conversations QUOTES TO REMEMBER “I realized I've been so focused on helping people accumulate money, and in the meantime, I was actually causing them to accumulate regret.” “If none of this is mine, that means I'm not entitled to it. I need to actually seek guidance from the Owner.” “When we just say enough is enough, it creates this incredible gift of margin and freedom.” “To decide what satisfaction looks like ahead of time and then just enjoy it is such a beautiful gift.” “The conversation shifts from ‘how much do I have to give' to' how much can we give.'” “I believe in every one of our hearts, there is a specific part of God's heart that breaks.” “In our country, it hurts less to pay credit card debt interest than it does to feel inadequate.” “Saving has shifted from preparing for my future security to preparing for my future obedience.” “I want to be in a position where when God says do this, I can say ‘yes.'” “Track with a ruthless level of detail, not to restrict, but to understand.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Living A Rich Life by James Lenhoff Good Sense WealthQuest FreedUp App Quicken YoungLife Generous Giving (see our interviews with cofounders Todd Harper and David Wills and CEO, April Chapman) BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Matthew 6:21 | Treasure and the Heart For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

TAKE A STEP DEEPER On the Finish Line podcast, we are all about stories, seeing how God draws us into generosity over a lifetime.   But sometimes these stories can leave us thinking, “What's that next step look like for me?” That's exactly why we've launched a whole new podcast called Applied Generosity which explores the full landscape of the generous life across 7 different dimensions of generosity. Applied Generosity helps make sense of the hundreds of stories we've shared on the Finish Line Podcast to help you find that best next step.

Ocean conservation is often framed as hopeful, inspiring, and mission-driven. But behind the scenes, many scientists, advocates, educators, and communicators are dealing with burnout, financial instability, emotional exhaustion, and the pressure to stay optimistic while ocean problems keep getting worse. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, we look at the emotional cost of trying to save the ocean. From temporary contracts and unstable funding to social media pressure and the personal grief of watching ecosystems decline, conservation work can take a serious toll on the people doing it. This episode asks an important question: if protecting the ocean is long-term work, why are so many of the people doing that work still forced into unsustainable careers?

The energy system is not about supply and exports and generation and distribution. It's about how we use energy in our daily lives and workplaces. The so-called energy trilemma, affordability versus reliability versus environmental performance looks very theoretical in the boardrooms of an NGO or a consulting company. But it's not theoretical at all for someone struggling to run their life, do their job and pay their bills. What we need is a system focused on usage, not on supply. Joining Michael on Cleaning Up this week is Harish Hande, a Bangalore-based social entrepreneur, co-founder and CEO of the Selco Foundation, which focuses on decentralized solar energy solutions for underserved communities. A graduate of IIT Kharagpur with a master's and PhD in energy engineering from the University of Massachusetts, Harish has over three decades of grassroots experience using sustainable energy to drive poverty reduction in rural India. In 2011, he received the Ramon Magsaysay Award for his efforts to make solar power accessible and affordable for the poor through innovative, livelihood‑linked energy services.

Ashlee Hall and Mary Lundstedt are Founding Partners at Hall Lundstedt, a boutique tax law firm serving clients nationwide in complex tax controversy, IRS resolution, strategic tax planning, and advanced structuring. As tax attorneys, they work with business owners, investors, high earners, and families to address audits, examinations, appeals, tax-advantaged structures, entity and transaction planning, credits and incentives, and liquidity events. Ashlee brings advanced tax planning and resolution experience, and Mary adds more than 20 years of legal experience in taxation, business matters, and taxpayer advocacy. Together, they help clients navigate complex tax issues with clear, legally grounded strategies designed to reduce risk, protect wealth, and support stronger business and personal outcomes. In this episode… Taxes are one of the most overlooked places where business owners and high earners lose money, not because they are doing something wrong, but because they are often working from incomplete information. Filing a return may satisfy compliance requirements, but it does not automatically mean someone is planning ahead, reducing risk, or taking advantage of the strategies available to them. So what changes when tax planning becomes proactive instead of reactive? The answer begins with understanding that tax filing and tax strategy are not the same thing. Experienced tax attorneys Ashlee Hall and Mary Lundstedt explain how business owners, investors, and high earners can benefit from legal guidance that looks beyond year-end reporting to encompass long-term planning, IRS readiness, and defensible tax mitigation. Ashlee emphasizes the importance of starting early, documenting decisions in real time, and being cautious with strategies that sound too good to be true. Mary points out that many costly tax problems begin when people wait until there is already an IRS issue, an exit event, or a missed opportunity before seeking help. Together, their insights encourage listeners to ask better questions, involve the right professionals earlier, and treat tax planning as an ongoing part of wealth protection. In this episode of Owner's Profit Playbook, Pat Mancuso talks with Ashlee Hall and Mary Lundstedt, Founding Partners at Hall Lundstedt, about why a CPA alone may not be enough to save business owners and high earners money. Ashlee and Mary discuss how proactive planning creates stronger outcomes, why legal tax guidance matters before problems arise, and examine audit readiness, risky strategies, IRS disputes, and exit planning.

Lucas Casarez, a CFP and founder of Level Up Financial Planning, explains why many tech professionals can make six figures yet still feel broke, citing statistics that 48.6% of people earning over $100K and 36% earning over $200K report living paycheck to paycheck. He outlines four main drivers: lifestyle inflation, taxes reducing actual take-home pay (often 30–50%, especially in high-tax states), lingering past obligations like student loans or credit cards, and lack of budgeting/clarity. He notes you may be doing better than you think through automated saving, maxing a 401(k), holding employer stock, or aggressively paying down debt. He recommends building a monthly budget, then planning annually and long-term to anticipate taxes and irregular expenses, reduce stress, avoid burnout, and increase career flexibility, and invites listeners to seek help getting organized.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 447 — Bob Dole: The Life That Brought Him There (Part 28)Saving Social SecurityIn Episode 447 of our continuing series on the life and career of Bob Dole, we examine one of the most important bipartisan legislative efforts of the modern era — the fight to preserve and stabilize Social Security during the early 1980s.At a time when the Social Security system faced a looming financial crisis and fears grew that the government could soon be unable to meet its obligations, Washington was forced into difficult negotiations with enormous political stakes.This episode explores the effort to “save Social Security” — and the central role Bob Dole played in navigating one of the most sensitive and consequential policy debates of his Senate career.Working alongside President Ronald Reagan, congressional leaders, and members of both parties, Dole became a key figure in the negotiations that ultimately produced a compromise designed to strengthen the program's long-term stability.In this episode, we explore:• The financial crisis facing Social Security in the early 1980s • The political risks surrounding reform efforts • Bob Dole's role in the negotiations and legislative strategy • The bipartisan cooperation required to reach an agreement • How the reforms reshaped Social Security for future generationsThis is a story not just about policy, but about governing — the challenge of balancing political reality with fiscal responsibility while dealing with one of the most important programs in American life.In an era often remembered for ideological battles, the Social Security compromise stood as a reminder that major legislation still required negotiation, trust, and compromise.A system on the brink. A Senate forced to act. And Bob Dole at the center of one of Washington's defining bipartisan moments.

Today I'm sharing the little saving graces that are helping me get through this busy “Maycember” season lately.  From easy air fryer meals and simple family traditions to the mindset shifts, routines, and tiny comforts making life feel lighter right now, these are the small saving graces keeping me grounded in the middle of a very full season. I'm sharing a more personal look at what our family has been walking through behind the scenes, what I'm learning about marriage and motherhood, and why I'm more convinced than ever that small intentional choices really do matter. If you've been feeling stretched thin lately, I hope this episode feels encouraging, practical, and like a reminder that you don't need a complete life overhaul to make things feel a little easier. Mentioned in This Episode:

This week, we're talking about why so many of us spend Monday through Friday just trying to survive until the weekend, only to cram errands, friendships, rest, hobbies, and actual living into two short days. We discuss how work culture has normalized giving our jobs the best hours of our lives, why adulthood can start to feel repetitive and emotionally draining, and the small ways we can reclaim our time during the week. From spending more intentional time with friends to building routines that make weekdays feel meaningful again, this episode is about creating a life you don't constantly need a weekend escape from.---Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!Emily's Substack: third martini thoughts---Emily's Captivation: John MulaneyHannah's Captivation: Kacey Musgrave's Middle oof NowhereShop CLEARSTEM and 15% off with the code GALSGUIDE at checkout---Welcome to The Gal's Guide — a weekly dating and lifestyle podcast created to empower radical self-love and bold relationships.

erticals, Hustle, and the Future of Filmmaking (Get Reelisms Ep. 186) On Get Reelisms podcast episode 186, filmmakers Adam Chase Rani and Christine Chen discuss being exhausted but grateful for steady work while others in Austin and Texas struggle despite talk of bigger film tax incentives. They say vertical short-form productions are “single handedly saving Hollywood,” with money coming from markets including China, and Christine notes speaking Mandarin helps her communicate with clients as an AD and director. They describe overlapping AD prep across productions, constant schedule demands on rare days off, and how vertical work favors indie-style problem solvers over union workflows. They explain vertical monetization as “Farmville”-style gamification with addictive cliffhangers and paywalls per short episode, shaping soapy storytelling tropes, while also noting vertical framing can be visually strong. They mention Darren Aronofsky's AI film "On This Day, 1776" and briefly debate AI as a tool versus making full films with it, then preview an upcoming guest, Oscar-nominated short filmmaker Sam Davis ("The Singers" on Netflix).   Hosts: Adam Rani (@adamthechase)  & Christine Chen (@cchenmtf)  About Christine W Chen: Christine W.

Ocean conservation is a global effort worth billions, so why do so many marine scientists, nonprofits, and conservation groups still feel like they are constantly running out of money? In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, Andrew Lewin breaks down why ocean conservation often operates grant to grant, donation to donation, and year to year. He explains how unstable funding affects marine protected areas, research, staffing, outreach, and long-term planning. The episode also explores why communication is becoming part of conservation infrastructure. In today's funding landscape, the organizations that can tell their story clearly often have a better chance of attracting donors, partners, and public support.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Brett Chestnut. Managing Director of Northwestern Mutual Goodwin, Wright Gwinnett. The conversation centers on Brett’s mission as a financial leader, his journey from engineering to financial planning, his commitment to mentoring, and his focus on expanding diversity in the financial services industry. Brett describes how he transitioned from engineering in 2015 to financial planning because he wanted to help people regain the ability to dream—not just survive. He discusses his work in recruiting diverse advisors, supporting career‑shifting professionals, mentoring, and educating people on foundational financial decision‑making. The interview also explores money mindsets, budgeting, the challenges of building wealth in communities of color, and the often‑overlooked emotional side of money. Brett emphasizes starting with the basics, not skipping steps (e.g., jumping straight to cryptocurrency), and building strong financial foundations. Rushion repeatedly highlights Brett as a powerful brand and role model, underscoring the importance of Black leadership in financial fields and the role of representation in increasing trust and access. Purpose of the Interview The interview’s purpose is to: 1. Introduce Brett Chestnut as a trusted financial leader Rushion aims to elevate Brett’s visibility as a Black managing director in financial services—an industry where representation has traditionally been limited. 2. Educate listeners on financial empowerment Brett provides practical, relatable guidance on budgeting, investing, career transitions, and developing financial discipline. 3. Highlight Northwestern Mutual’s diversity initiatives Brett explains how the company is intentionally investing in diverse advisors and underserved markets. 4. Inspire career‑based and financial self‑reflection He encourages people to examine their spending habits, consider new career paths, and align decisions with long-term goals. 5. Promote mentorship and community uplift Both Brett and Rushion stress the transformative power of mentorship and generational investment. Key Takeaways 1. Financial empowerment starts with awareness Brett urges everyone to analyze their last 2–3 months of spending to understand what their habits really prioritize. 2. You must “choose your hard” Saving and planning may be difficult now, but the alternative is harder later. Financial success requires discipline, not magic formulas. 3. Wealth building is emotional as much as logical Money connects to family, relationships, self‑worth, stress, and confidence. Advisors must understand clients emotionally, not just mathematically—especially women and diverse communities. 4. Don’t skip steps (especially with investing and crypto) Many want to “get rich fast,” but Brett warns that skipping foundational steps (budgeting, savings, retirement planning) leads to confusion and poor decisions. 5. Mentorship works only with real relationship True mentorship requires understanding someone’s full life story, not just giving advice. 6. Representation matters in financial services Northwestern Mutual is investing heavily in diverse advisors not just for optics, but because entire markets have been historically underserved. 7. Closing the wealth gap requires generational strategy One generation must be willing to be selfless, disciplined, and intentional with assets to move future generations forward. 8. Brett sees his work as multiplying impact By developing new advisors and helping create “15 millionaires,” he hopes to create compounding community uplift. Notable Quotes On financial empowerment “I want people to dream again. We’re not dreaming no more—we’re living because of obligation.” “When we’re born we look like our parents, but when we die, we look like our decisions.” On career purpose “I help people who are successful but career‑disturbed. They want more.” On money habits “Look at your last three months of spending. Your money tells you what your real priorities are.” On investing and crypto “People want to skip steps… going from no savings straight to crypto.” “If you don’t understand it, maybe it’s not time for you to invest in it.” On mentorship “To give someone feedback without relationship is harassment.” “Let me hear your story… mentorship starts with knowing the inner person.” On diversity and empowerment “Their growth strategy is diversity… whole markets haven’t even been called on yet.” On community and identity “We’re special… if we regain that confidence and approach the marketplace with courage, everything changes.” On wealth-building reality “You have to choose your hard. Hard now or hard later.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Roger Whitney kicks off a new series on decluttering for retirement, explaining how the accumulation of “stuff”—from physical belongings to financial accounts to relationships—can unconsciously shape our decisions and limit our ability to envision a fulfilling next chapter.
