Everything on the Internet is true, right? What can Tik Tok (and social media) teach us about getting out of debt?  How much of the advice is legitimate and how much is, shall we say, a bit "out there"? On this week's episode of the Crushing Debt Podccast, Shawn & George watch (or listen to) Tik Tok videos from influencers who are trying to help people get out of debt. We'll then comment on the good, the bad, and the ugly of the advice given. As with any social media platform, you have to do your own due diligence and utilize strategies that will work for you. You can listen to similar former episodes of the show like Episode 413 - Tik Tok Money Hacks Episode 388 - Money Lessons from Tik Tok (our Girl Math Episode) The Tik Toks on this weeks episode cover topics such as: What is a normal amount of savings?

RSV, a common respiratory virus, can be especially harmful for infants. But this past winter brought promising news: two new preventive measures became widely available — a vaccine given in pregnancy and antibodies given to newborns.

And in the next installment of our "Buy Now Pay Later" series, we look at tackling credit card debt before retirement.

Josh and Amelie discuss various situations where people have limits to savings amounts due to governmental programs such as Medicaid or Disability. Top takeaways: Many of the limits are state-specific. Figure out what someone in this situation would need an emergency fund for–it might be fewer things than you think. Do not think of “savings” as a monolith–each individual problem should be tackled individually. ABLE accounts are similar to retirement accounts except that they're for disabled people and their families to be able to pay for specific expenses.

In this punchy episode of Mark and Pete, we tackle three explosive issues shaping the UK today. First, we dive into the shocking statistic that 1 in 10 Britons have no savings, revealing the fragile state of personal finance and what it means for national resilience. With household budgets tighter than ever, are we heading for a savings crisis? Next, we commemorate and critique the legacy of Margaret Thatcher as her 100th birthday is marked with celebratory events in Grantham. Love her or loathe her, the Iron Lady remains one of Britain's most divisive political figures. We explore how Thatcherism reshaped the UK—and whether the celebration is deserved or divisive. Finally, we cast our nets into the stormy waters of the UK-EU fishing rights dispute. With the Brexit fishing deal expiring soon, tensions rise over quotas, sovereignty, and national identity. Will British fishermen be left high and dry while Brussels demands more access? As always, Mark and Pete bring wit, wisdom, and a splash of theological insight to today's most pressing issues.

In this episode of The Wade Borth Podcast, Wade tackles the common misconceptions surrounding whole life insurance—addressing why so many people claim it has a low return, is too expensive, or is the “worst investment of all time.” He explains why these beliefs are often rooted in misinformation or biased experiences, and reframes whole life as a savings tool, not an investment. If you're seeking clarity, consistency, and long-term financial control, this conversation offers a fresh, honest perspective that cuts through the noise.   Episode Highlights 00:22 - Whole life insurance myths. 01:04 - Common criticism: Low return. 02:11 - Opinion formation: Experience vs. Learning. 03:12 - Whole life as a tool. 04:55 - Misconceptions on whole life returns. 05:50 - Savings vs. investments comparison. 07:38 - Benefits of a consistent savings environment. 08:57 - Whole life providing financial certainty. 09:17 - Misunderstanding whole life as investment. 11:44 - Contextualizing costs and value. 13:12 - Value perspective on expenses.   Episode Resources Connect with Wade Borth https://www.sagewealthstrategy.com/  wade@sagewealthstrategy.com

(plus get a special bonus).CLICK HERE NOW: https://robmoore.directbullion.com Rob reveals his formula for early retirement based on his own experience of retiring three times! Rob shares his ICE investment framework, debunks common retirement myths and explains why a million pounds isn't enough anymore. KEY TAKEAWAYS Setting your retirement number is essential. Calculate how much annual income you want, double it for tax, then determine what capital sum would generate this. But remember, inflation will erode this over time. The best investment strategy combines income, capital and equity (ICE). Property and well run businesses offer all three elements, while other investments like gold or Bitcoin usually provide only one or two. Keep your largest expenses (housing, transportation, travel) as low as possible for as long as possible while investing heavily, rather than obsessing over small daily purchases. Continuously reinvesting profits rather than drawing income dramatically speeds up compounding, your capital pot grows faster, generating more income over time, protecting your wealth from both market volatility and your own spending habits. The fastest way to reach your retirement number is through business ownership which has the highest risk but greatest control. Property provides the most reliable passive income once you retire (combining income, capital appreciation, and equity potential). BEST MOMENTS "I retired at 29, not even a week, went on a week's holiday. My business partner was like, the world is fucked. Get back. I was bored anyway on the ski holiday." "You don't save for retirement. You plan for retirement. The only source of income from the government is taxation and you are the source of taxation, the only source of money from the banks, the savers, and the depositors, which is you." "You can never save your way to wealth. Savers are losers. Savings are degrading. The only way you can ever get rich is investing, either investing your time into your own company or investing your money into assets." "Warren Buffet says, well, everyone doesn't like it when their stock goes down. I love it when my stock goes down 'cause I just buy more." "Most people, when they're doing really well, they just spend it and waste it. But you wanna be planning for the rainy days, the lower days." "To get to your retirement age or number quicker, it's a business. But to retire, it's a property portfolio."

In this “NASM CPT Podcast,” host Rick Richey takes listeners behind the scenes of what it really takes to open a gym—no sugarcoating, just real numbers and honest advice. Building upon his recent conversation with fitness industry mogul Mark Mastrov, Rick brings his own hard-earned experience to the mic, offering practical insights for aspiring gym owners. Rick breaks down the nitty gritty: how much money you truly need (it's more than you think), the difference between capital and operational expenses, and the often-overlooked costs of things like HVAC units, rubber flooring, repairs, mirrors, lighting, laundry, and even towel logos. He stresses the importance of planning for both the build-out and the ongoing costs that keep your doors open, sharing stories from his own path to gym ownership—including why having six months of operating capital is non-negotiable. From negotiating leases and dealing with banks, to understanding freight costs for equipment and the reality of a slow start once you open, Rick's candid perspective prepares listeners for the rollercoaster of gym ownership. He explains why some might be better off starting with a franchise, and why the coolest part of owning a gym can sometimes be the hardest to maintain. If you're considering opening your own facility or just want a raw look at entrepreneurship in fitness, this episode is a must-listen. Rick doesn't aim to discourage—just to arm you with the truth, so you're ready to succeed.

Proverbs 4:26 reminds us, “Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.”That's a call to intentional living—choosing wisdom over impulse, especially in how we manage our money. We often emphasize that budgeting isn't just about numbers—it's about aligning your resources with God's purposes.Matt Bell, a trusted voice in biblical finance, recently wrote about the contrast between cultural and Christian approaches to budgeting. He notes that culture gives your money a script:“Make $80,000 a year. Then move into this neighborhood, drive that car, wear these clothes, eat in these restaurants, and take these vacations. Then you can give.”In this model, spending comes first and usually leads to debt. If we're lucky, we might save or give with what's left. The result? Financial stress, shrinking savings, and a fading sense of contentment.Budgeting as a Sacred TrustBut what if budgeting isn't just a spending plan—it's a sacred trust?Deuteronomy 8:18 says, “You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth.” Your income is a gift and a responsibility. Imagine God saying:“I'm entrusting you with $80,000 this year. Use it to reflect My love—meet needs, fund ministry, invest in My Kingdom. Save wisely. Enjoy what I've provided.”This echoes 1 Timothy 6:17, which reminds us that God “richly provides us with everything to enjoy.” With a biblical framework, our financial decisions flip the cultural script:Give firstThen save and investThen spend wiselyAnd use debt sparinglyPaul David Tripp puts it this way:“God calls us to stop starting with ourselves and hoping there's money left over for him. Instead, the call is to willingly and joyfully accept that our money's primary purpose is to fund a kingdom of generosity… and then trust that God will provide what we need.”Jesus warned in Matthew 7:26–27 that anyone who builds their life on shifting sand—hearing His words but not doing them—will find their house collapsing in the storm. A budget based on biblical principles isn't just practical—it's foundational. It anchors our financial lives to the truth of God's Word.A Partner for Kingdom StewardshipIf you're ready to build your finances on that foundation, it helps to partner with others who share your values. That's why we're grateful for Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU).More than a bank, CCCU is a financial institution with a Kingdom mission. They offer everything you'd expect—checking, savings, loans, mortgages—but they also invest your deposits in ministries that serve the Gospel worldwide. Every dollar becomes a tool for transformation.If you're seeking a trusted financial partner that aligns with your faith and fuels your impact, learn more at JoinChristianCommunity.com.Budgeting isn't about restriction—it's about worship. It's about saying, “Lord, everything I have is from You and for You.” When we carefully consider our financial paths, we begin to experience the freedom, peace, and joy of Kingdom stewardship.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I will be full retirement age in August. I'm still working, so my Social Security will be a surplus that I want to put toward my home. I still owe $82,000 on it, but I also know it needs many repairs. Does it make more sense to put this extra cash flow toward repairs, paying down the mortgage, or a little bit of both?What's the difference between getting a debt consolidation loan or working with a debt counselor?I just wanted general information about universal index life insurance. It seems too good to be true. I've heard that you put money in, and it always increases, but you never lose money out of there, like in the case with stocks.I have a colleague with $12,000 in student debt. He wants to pay $1,000 down and the rest over time, but I think he should pay it off completely now.

Most people who are gearing up for retirement are heads-down focused on building savings. But there's one important thing they don't consider: what happens to your money once it's “locked away” in certain retirement products. In this episode, Gregg Gonzalez digs into annuities - what they are, why they're sometimes pitched so hard, and how they can quietly trap your savings if you're not careful. If you're just assuming a big 401(k) or IRA balance will mean total freedom in retirement, it's time for a closer look. He breaks down the four types of annuities, the fine print you need to watch for, and the difference between a tool that fits your goals and one that could slow you down. He shares real-world examples of how well-meaning people end up in bad products, and why working with someone who's truly on your side (not just selling something) can make all the difference. By the end, you'll not only be able to spot the traps, you'll know exactly what questions to ask, what options to consider, and how to move forward with a retirement strategy that matches your life, not just a sales pitch.

Well, we sure do field a lot of questions from a lot of frustrated owners over our time. In fact, this coming week we'll be in Dallas speaking at a Build Expo, and I highly anticipate these questions will come up around this issue of employee engagement. How do I make employees feel valued? How do I make them feel engaged with what we're trying to do? And so we're going to talk about that. Hey, before we dive in, you need to check out the Dickey and Donnie Show on the BOP podcast. It's two of our coaches, Sean and Brandon. They're amazing coaches and I am so grateful they've taken time. It is a whimsical look at a lot of the frustrations that business owners deal with, but done in a super fun way—and I think you'll enjoy it. So come to this podcast, look for the episodes entitled Dickey and Donnie, and you'll get it. Once you get on there, you'll get it. And stay tuned to the end of this podcast. I'll give you a little tool and a resource I think will be helpful for you. I want to tell you a true story of how you can see engagement within employees and also value—how you can actually show them value. When Coastal Shores Landscaping took a closer look at their labor crews' lives, they uncovered a significant financial issue that many of them were dealing with. See, these 20 to 25 crew members that they had at the time—have actually grown since then—many were cashing their paychecks at the local grocery store every single Friday. What seemed like a convenient option was actually costing these employees quite dearly. The company discovered that check cashing fees were adding up to a staggering amount—equivalent to about one week's salary, sometimes a little bit more per year, per employee. Of course, the problem doesn't stop there. Any one of those individual problems has recurring benefits or consequences. Having cash in hand on a weekend often led to impulsive spending and left little for savings or essential family needs. So they recognized the issue, and Coastal Shores made a strategic decision to implement a mandatory direct deposit policy for all employees starting that following October once they figured this out. This actually happened a few years ago, but this move was designed to address several key problems and provide multiple benefits to their employees. First, it gave employees the dignity of having their own bank accounts. The company brought a banker to their office to help set up those accounts for free for everyone. This simple step of just opening up an account on site opened up a world of financial services and opportunities that many had never experienced before. Second, it eliminated the temptation of having immediate cash on hand. We all know what happens with cash in our pockets. With money safely deposited in their accounts, employees would need to make a conscious decision to withdraw funds—hypothetically reducing impulsive spending. Third, the company introduced a Christmas savings program. They set up a designated account where employees could save a small amount each month for holiday gifts. This helped prevent the need for last-minute borrowing or credit card debt during a festive season—so you could go through the season and not have guilt on the backside of it. Coastal Shores didn't stop there. They expanded their financial wellness program to include 401k accounts, allowing employees to start saving for their future. Among their field team—their labor crews—there is currently a 98% participation rate. This comprehensive approach to financial literacy became an integral part of the training program. Coastal Shores embodies the principle that life and business necessarily intersect. By investing in their employees' overall well-being, they have created a workforce that's not only more skilled in their jobs but also more financially stable and satisfied in their personal lives. This serves as an excellent example of how companies can positively impact their employees' lives beyond the workplace—creating a win-win situation for the business and its members. I know sometimes that can overwhelm you to think about—“Well, how do we do 401k plans or how do we set up these other ancillary programs for our employees to be able to thrive?” Hop on a call with one of our coaches. We've got dedicated time as our coach team to set time with you. If you're a business owner with three or more employees doing a million or more in revenue, then go to businessonpurpose.com/ask—that's businessonpurpose.com/ask—and one of our coaches would be delighted to hop on with you for about 15–20 minutes. They'll answer any questions you have, and if you want to know how to work with us, potentially they can show you that as well. Just ask them.
