Nearly everything that politicians say about taxes is at least half a lie. They are also dishonest when it comes to the national debt. Stephen Dubner finds one of the few people in Washington who is willing to tell the truth — and it's even worse than you think. SOURCES:Jessica Riedl, senior fellow in budget, tax, and economic policy at the Manhattan Institute. RESOURCES:"The House Wants to Pass Trump's Agenda in One Big Bill.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down deep divisions among Democrats over the spending bill, the Virginia GOP's steep challenges in this year's elections, and the House Democrats losing two members in just over a week.First, Republicans finally get a chance to watch Democrats openly feud over whether to pass a spending bill to prevent a partial government shutdown. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer now reluctantly supports the bill, sparking an intense backlash from progressives. Jim also explains how Democrats are struggling to accept their minority status in Congress.Next, they wince at the prospects for Virginia Republicans in this year's elections. They usually don't go well for the party that holds the White House. Virginia is also home to the second most federal employees in the nation, and the DOGE cuts are likely to be unpopular in the DC suburbs. Republicans do have an excellent candidate in Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears, but will the headwinds against her be too strong?Finally, they discuss the passing of Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, marking the second House Democrat to die in under two weeks. They note the oddity of Grijalva's X account continuing to post after his death and also examine how these vacancies will impact the House until special elections are held to fill those vacancies.Please visit our great sponsors:Oracle will cut your cloud bill in half—new US customers only, offer ends March 31st!

"If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches?" – Luke 16:11Managing money wisely in today's fast-paced world isn't always easy. With so many financial demands, it's tempting to take shortcuts—grabbing coffee on the go, eating out instead of cooking, or neglecting a budget altogether. But faithfulness in finances requires intentionality. Here's how you can stay faithful in managing your money according to biblical principles.Before making financial decisions, seek God's wisdom. James 1:5 reminds us, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” Set aside time each week to pray over your finances and seek God's direction.Create a Spending PlanA budget is essential for financial faithfulness. Without one, it's easy to overspend and struggle to meet obligations. If you don't have a budget, download the free FaithFi app, which provides step-by-step guidance for setting up a plan and tracking expenses.If your income isn't covering expenses, you have two choices: cut spending or increase income. Trimming expenses is often the easier option.Cut Unnecessary ExpensesStart by reviewing where you spend the most. While housing costs may be fixed, food expenses can be reduced with intentional planning:Limit dining out to once or twice a month.Meal plan and shop with a list to avoid impulse purchases.Consider online grocery shopping to stick to a budget and avoid overspending.Beyond food, look for other savings opportunities:Cancel unused streaming subscriptions.Form a babysitting pool with other parents.Seek out free local activities for entertainment.Build an Emergency FundFinancial stability requires preparation. Start by setting aside $1,500 for unexpected expenses like car repairs or medical bills. Gradually work toward saving three to six months' worth of living expenses. The peace of mind an emergency fund provides is worth the effort.Tackle Debt StrategicallyIf you're burdened by debt, follow Proverbs 22:7, which warns, “…the borrower is slave to the lender.” Develop a plan to pay off consumer debt using the snowball method:Pay minimums on all debts.Focus extra payments on the smallest balance.Once that debt is paid, roll payments into the next smallest.Repeat until you're debt-free.If you're struggling to make minimum payments, consider a debt management plan through Christian Credit Counselors, who can help reduce interest rates and speed up repayment.Save for the FutureOnce consumer debt is eliminated, shift your focus to retirement savings. Aim to invest 10-15% of your income in a tax-advantaged account like an IRA or 401(k). If your employer offers matching contributions, take advantage of this free money as soon as possible.Practice GenerosityGiving is at the heart of financial faithfulness. Commit to tithing regularly to your local church and seek opportunities to bless others through sacrificial giving. As Jesus said in Acts 20:35, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”By following these principles—prayer, budgeting, saving, eliminating debt, and giving—you can remain faithful in managing the resources God has entrusted to you.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My wife is retired. I am 59, and I want to retire next year. So our house is paid off. Vehicles, we have some rented houses. They're almost paid off. When should we take or try to take our Social Security?I'm 50 years old, self-employed, and max out my Roth IRA yearly. I have a question about Social Security—do you expect it to still be around in the next 20 years, or should someone like me be concerned about its future?I have a universal life insurance policy worth about $10,500, and my premiums were recently updated to $50 per month until 2031. However, I don't necessarily need the policy since I've donated my body to a hospital, which means I won't have funeral expenses. Therefore, I'm considering surrendering the policy, depositing the cash value into a bank account, and redirecting the $50 monthly premium into savings instead of continuing the policy. Is this a wise financial decision?My son has about $10,000 in credit card debt. He called the Christian Credit Counselors, who could help him. But he's also $30,000 in debt to payday cash loans, which charge him 300% interest. Unfortunately, they have said that they can't help him with those. Is there any avenue through which he can get help with payday loans?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineChristian Healthcare Ministries (CHM)Consumer Financial Protection BureauChristian Credit CounselorsWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look 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.

In this episode of "My Money, My Lifestyle," host Maya Fisher-French engages in a deep dive into the complexities of the national budget and its implications for taxpayers with Chris Axelson, the acting head of tax and financial sector policy at National Treasury. As the government navigates the contentious landscape of tax collection, Axelson sheds light on the recent adjustments to the budget, including a shift from an ambitious VAT increase to more modest measures aimed at generating 28 billion rand in revenue. They explore the delicate balance between raising taxes and maintaining economic growth. They discuss the implications of various tax instruments, such as personal income tax, corporate tax, and VAT, and how these decisions are made amidst pressures from both revenue needs and household impacts. Axelson explains the concept of fiscal drag and how it effectively raises personal taxes without changing rates, often leaving taxpayers unaware of the increase.   Listeners will gain insights into the priorities for the additional tax revenue, including funding for essential services such as education and healthcare, as well as the challenges of addressing corruption and inefficiencies within government spending. Chris also addresses the importance of tax compliance and the role of SARS in improving revenue collection.   Join Maya and Chris Axelson as they unpack these critical financial topics, providing listeners with a clearer understanding of how budget decisions affect their wallets and the broader economy.   1. Overview of the national budget and tax implications 2. The shift from VAT increase to alternative revenue measures 3. Understanding fiscal drag and its impact on personal taxes 4.

A.W. Tozer once wrote in The Knowledge of the Holy, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” Our understanding of God influences everything—including how we handle what He has entrusted to us.In the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30), Jesus tells a story that reveals how our perception of God directly affects our stewardship. Three servants are given different amounts of money while their master is away. Two invest what they receive and are rewarded for their faithfulness. The third, however, buries his portion out of fear. His failure wasn't just financial—it was a failure of understanding his master's character.A Misunderstanding That Led to FearAt first glance, the punishment of the third servant might seem extreme. After all, he didn't lose the money—he simply didn't invest it. But Jesus' parable isn't just about financial stewardship; it's about how we see God.The third servant viewed his master as “a hard man” (Matthew 25:24), someone to be feared rather than trusted. His words reveal the issue of his heart:“Master, I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground.” - Matthew 25:24-25His fear of failure led him to inaction. Instead of seeing an opportunity, he saw a trap. Instead of seeing generosity, he saw harshness. And because of that, he did nothing.This is the danger of a wrong view of God. When we perceive Him as an unrelenting taskmaster, we shrink back—afraid to fail, hesitant to step out, reluctant to engage with what He has given us. We bury our talents—whether our time, resources, or gifts—assuming He is more interested in punishment than partnership. But Scripture reminds us:“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.” - 1 John 4:18Faith and Trust Lead to FruitfulnessIn contrast, the first two servants acted in faith. They saw their master as someone worth serving, embracing their responsibility with joy. They took risks, multiplied what they had been given, and were met with their master's praise:“Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!” - Matthew 25:21The master's reward wasn't just about productivity—it was an invitation into deeper joy. Their faithfulness wasn't about money; it was about trust. They trusted their master's goodness and acted boldly.Many struggle with obedience because they see it as a burden rather than an opportunity. But the faithful servants understood something key: what they had been given actually belonged to their master, and stewarding it well was a privilege.Jesus invites us to partner with Him in His work, not because He needs us, but because He delights in working through us. Paul describes this beautifully:“For we are co-workers in God's service; you are God's field, God's building.” - 1 Corinthians 3:9We are not slaves cowering under a harsh master—we are co-laborers in His kingdom. When we understand this, our perspective on obedience changes. Giving, serving, and using our gifts for His glory are no longer seen as obligations but as privileges.Living as Faithful StewardsThe real tragedy of the third servant is that he never truly knew his master. His false perception led to his inaction, and his master's response is sobering:“Throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” - Matthew 25:30This warning isn't just about stewardship—it's about our hearts. If we live in fear and refuse to trust God, we will miss out on the joy of His kingdom. In fact, I would venture to say that when some meet Jesus, they may not hear, “I never knew you,” but rather, “You never knew Me.”But if we truly know Him, we will step forward in faith, eager to invest our lives in His work.God invites us to see Him as He truly is—loving, generous, and trustworthy. When we do, we won't shrink back in fear—we will step forward in faith. Like the faithful servants in the parable, we will hear His words of joy:“Well done, good and faithful servant.”Let's live as stewards who know our Master—trusting in His goodness and investing in His kingdom with boldness and joy.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My daughter has $20,000 in credit card debt across five cards. With her husband incarcerated, she's struggling to make the $800 monthly minimum payments. I'm looking for a way to help her consolidate the debt and get a lower interest rate so she can start paying it down.We've been offered a good price to sell our 14-year-old business, but I'm concerned about the capital gains taxes we'll owe. Besides investing in our IRAs, are there any other strategies we can use to reduce the taxes we'll have to pay on the sale?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineThe Knowledge of the Holy: The Attributes of God: Their Meaning in the Christian Life by A.W.

#BERLIN: SPENDING POPULISM. JUDY DEMPSEY, CARNEGIE 1870 BECHTESGADEN

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they break down another Senate Democrat retirement that has Republicans eyeing a pickup, a suspicious document destruction order at USAID, and the GOP debate over federal spending.First, they react to New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen's decision not to seek a fourth term, making her the third Senate Democrat to retire this cycle. This creates a prime GOP pickup opportunity in 2026, especially if former Gov. Chris Sununu enters the race. They also take a peek at key Senate races in North Carolina and Minnesota.Next, they react to a troubling directive at USAID, where employees were urgently ordered to shred or burn sensitive documents. The acting executive secretary's directive raises alarms, and Jim questions why USAID would even possess so many classified materials. They argue this incident further fuels public skepticism about government waste and secrecy.Finally, they tackle the clash between President Trump and Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie over federal spending. Massie opposes the GOP-backed bill to fund the government at current levels through September, prompting Trump to denounce him and vow that Massie will face a tough primary next year. Jim and Greg ask when Republicans will finally enforce fiscal discipline—and whether it will happen later this year.Please visit our great sponsors:Oracle will cut your cloud bill in half—new US customers only, offer ends March 31st!

Martin Luther once said, “There is no more lovely, friendly, and charming relationship, communion, or company than a good marriage.”A strong marriage is a blessing but requires intentional effort, especially in a blended family. Today, Ron Deal and Greg Pettys join the show to discuss a valuable resource for second marriages.Ron Deal is a bestselling author, licensed marriage & family therapist, podcaster, and popular conference speaker who specializes in marriage enrichment and stepfamily education and is the co-author of The Smart Stepfamily Guide to Financial Planning: Money Management Before and After You Blend a Family. Greg Pettys, CLU, ChFC, CFP, has thirty-four years of specialized experience in securities and life insurance sales and services. He is the co-author of The Smart Stepfamily Guide to Financial Planning: Money Management Before and After You Blend a Family.Understanding the Financial Challenges of Blended FamiliesWhen two people enter a marriage with previous financial histories, children, and life experiences, their financial situation becomes more complex than that of a first-time marriage. They may bring:Separate bank accounts and investmentsExisting debts and financial obligationsDifferent parenting and financial philosophiesThe need to provide for children from previous relationshipsConcerns over inheritance and estate planningMerging finances in a blended family isn't just about money—it's about trust, provision, and love. Without clear communication and planning, financial disagreements can create tension, causing stress in the relationship.What Is a Togetherness Agreement?A Togetherness Agreement is a structured approach for blended couples to clarify their financial decisions, ensuring transparency and unity. More than just a financial plan, it is a tool for fostering trust and eliminating fear. It's not just about bank accounts and investments—it's about love, respect, and providing well for one another. It brings clarity to emotionally charged financial topics, ensuring that both partners are aligned in their vision for the future.Why Is a Togetherness Agreement Important?1. It Provides Financial TransparencyMany couples enter marriage with financial baggage—whether it's debt, differing views on money management, or past experiences that have led to distrust. A Togetherness Agreement creates a safe space for full financial disclosure.2. It Helps Prevent Conflict Over MoneyMoney is one of the top stressors in any marriage, but in blended families, the stakes are even higher. The agreement ensures both spouses are on the same page regarding financial expectations and responsibilities.3. It Protects Children and Future GenerationsWithout a clear plan, assets and inheritance can unintentionally drift away from children from previous marriages. The agreement helps ensure that financial resources are distributed according to the couple's wishes, not just default legal systems.4. It Strengthens Marital Trust and UnityA Togetherness Agreement fosters open communication, allowing couples to plan their future confidently rather than fearfully.

Here we go again. Congressman Massie refuses to support reckless government spending and increased debt. President Trump comes out to criticize Massie and says he should be primaried. Many will remember that we've been down this road before with the trillions in Covid spending (and subsequent inflation). Massie vehemently opposed the Covid spending, was criticized by President Trump, and was primaried. Massie was right and won the primary election. It's not a good look for President Trump to do this again.

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven… “ -   Matthew 6:19-20Would you like to rethink your approach to money? Six powerful principles can shift your focus from the temporal to the eternal…and best-selling author Randy Alcorn is here to talk you through them.Randy Alcorn is the founder and director of Eternal Perspective Ministries (EPM) and the New York Times Bestselling author of more than 60 books, including Heaven, Money, Possessions, and Eternity, The Treasure Principle, and Giving Is the Good Life. His books have been translated into over seventy languages and have sold over ten million copies.The Foundation: God Owns EverythingWhen we take our cues from the world, it's easy to develop a flawed perspective on money. But Romans 12:2 calls us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. That transformation begins with the first principle:God owns everything, and I am His money manager.This truth alone can radically change how we view our finances. If everything belongs to God, then we are simply stewards of His resources. Just like a financial manager oversees someone else's wealth, we must ask God what He wants us to do with what He has entrusted to us. Thankfully, He has provided clear guidance in His Word.Imagine borrowing a pencil from someone and then breaking it in half. If the pencil belonged to you, that wouldn't be a big deal. But if it belonged to someone else, breaking it without permission would be wrong. The same is true with money—when we recognize that all we have belongs to God, it changes how we use it.Our Hearts Follow Our MoneyThe second principle in The Treasure Principle is equally profound:Our heart always goes where we put God's money.This truth comes directly from Matthew 6:21: “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Many people believe that their giving will naturally follow their heart's desires. But Jesus turns that idea upside down: If we want to cultivate a heart for God's kingdom, we need to start by investing in it.Want to develop a deeper love for missions? Start giving to missionaries. Want to care more about your church? Invest financially in its ministry. Our hearts follow our treasure.Cultivating an Eternal PerspectiveAnother key principle is:Heaven (On Earth) is our home.Hebrews 11:16 tells us that believers are “citizens of a better country, a heavenly one.” Recognizing that this version of the world is not our final destination changes how we use our money. Instead of accumulating wealth here, Jesus calls us to store up treasures in heaven (Matthew 6:20).But what does that mean? It doesn't mean stockpiling gold and silver in some celestial bank. Instead, our eternal treasures come from investing in God's work—supporting ministries, spreading the gospel, and using our resources to help those in need. The money we use today to advance God's kingdom will have eternal significance.Faithful stewardship isn't about earning salvation—it's about responding to God's generosity by using our resources wisely and storing up treasures that will last for eternity.Prosperity with a PurposeFinally, The Treasure Principle reminds us that:God prospers us not to raise our standard of living but to raise our standard of giving.It's easy to assume that when God blesses us financially, it's simply for our own benefit. But Scripture calls us to a different mindset. Like a delivery driver who is entrusted with a package to deliver—not to keep—God blesses us so that we can bless others.This doesn't mean we can't enjoy God's blessings, but it does mean that we should view our financial increase as an opportunity to be more generous, not just to accumulate more for ourselves.At the heart of The Treasure Principle is a simple but profound challenge: to see God as our ultimate treasure and money as a tool for His purposes. When we grasp this, it changes everything—how we spend, save, and give.If you haven't read The Treasure Principle, we highly encourage you to pick up a copy. It's a quick read but has the power to reshape your financial perspective for eternity.Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineRandy's full article, Understanding the Treasure Principle, is featured in the first issue of Faithful Steward, FaithFi's new quarterly magazine.

Do you have any advice for how she can make a budget and share it with her spouse so that his eyes might be open to the importance of financial stewardship?Should we tithe on money that we receive from an insurance payout?I have a 401(k) here at work. I'm 67 years old, and I'd like to withdraw money to purchase a car for $25,000 versus taking out a loan and paying interest. Is that something I'm allowed to do, or do I have to talk to the plan administrator? Is it up to the administrator, or is it legal for me to do that?Should my daughter put her maturing CDs into a high-yield money market account instead of rolling them over so the money is more accessible if she needs to buy a car?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineMoney, Possessions, and Eternity: A Comprehensive Guide to What the Bible Says about Financial Stewardship, Generosity, Materialism, Retirement, Financial Planning, Gambling, Debt, and More by Randy AlcornThe Treasure Principle, Revised and Updated: Unlocking the Secret of Joyful Giving by Randy AlcornThe Law of Rewards: Giving What You Can't Keep to Gain What You Can't Lose by Randy AlcornWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look 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.
