Many high earners and investors, including those who have amassed significant wealth, still struggle to get a handle on their spending. Max Phelps will help you get your money systems in order.  Do you wonder where all of your money goes? Do you keep hitting a financial 'ceiling'? It's all way too easy to be swept away by consumerism, instant gratification and invisible mounting debt – then throw ever-rising costs on top of that.  To break the cycle, it's about understanding the deep-rooted psychological factors that drive our spending money habits and learning how to harness them to create a life of financial stability and true abundance.  To talk through this and more is Max Phelps. Max is a money coach as well as a fellow mortgage broker and author, and in our two-part interview we're going to unpack the the knitty gritty of his own personal, professional and passive money and investing journey, before delving into his recently released new book Spending, Fast and Slow, where he introduces you to a system that triggers you to think before you spend so you can make better decisions every day.

In this episode of The Naked Party Time Podcast, Jeff and Sabrina talk about the what, why, and how of a spending fast, and extend a challenge for all the listeners to join them on a spending fast, starting on October 1st. If you want to join the spending fast challenge you need to commit to at least 30 days, and sign up before October 1st by emailing your Facebook name to hello@jeffmaness.com. If you're married, and your spouse is doing the fast with you, let us know their name as well. We answer a listener question in this episode about politics: My question is a little odd and almost embarrassing to even ask but here we go. Politics is tearing my family apart to the point where family members are willing to not associate with other family members because they vote/believe something different than they do. Each day more hate is shown towards each other over something so silly. My question is how would you manage this issue being in the middle of it? It seems no matter what is said it doesn't make a difference. It's overwhelming, to say the least. Thanks in advance! 1. What is a spending fast? A spending fast is choosing to not spend money for a specific amount of time for a specific goal or reason. 2. Why do a spending fast? If you don't know your why you will give up very quickly! Maybe you're going to pay down debt, save for a big purchase, go on a vacation, get ready for Christmas or just practice the good discipline of not spending. 3. How do you do a spending fast? Choose what areas of spending you are going to stop and then put everything you save toward your why. Obviously, you need to keep paying your bills and for your necessities (mortgage, utilities, groceries, insurance, debt payments, etc.). 4. What did we learn? A. How freely we spend money on crap we don't need! B. Delayed gratification works. Things we thought we wanted to spend on in January we didn't even think about or remember wanting when we were done. C. Amazon Prime is a trap! (We continue to have it and use it, but man, it is so easy to buy something just because you get that "free" 2-day shipping.) D. The realization of how important it is to have savings. So, here's our challenge: A two-month spending fast starting on October 1st and going through the end of November. (To be included in our challenge you have to choose to do the fast for at least 30 days) If you join the challenge you'll be added to a private Facebook group with us. You'll receive three updates in the group each week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), including one Facebook Live video with us each week. The updates might be a word of encouragement, a tip, a suggestion, a tool, etc. Plus you'll be in an online community where you will receive support, accountability, and encouragement. To sign up for the challenge, email your Facebook name to hello@jeffmaness.com Tell us if you're married or not, and if you are and your spouse is joining you, make sure we know both of your names.

Whether you were born rich, poor, or somewhere in-between, money has always been an integral part of your life. However, too many people have fears and other unhealthy emotions around money. These debilitating beliefs are most often subconscious, shaped by a lifetime of early experiences seen through other people—not based on objective reality. Can you break free from these restrictive beliefs and emotions, be able to “dream big”—and actually accomplish your hopes and dreams? The answer is yes: Now, finally, there is a way to harness the powerful energy around money and build real wealth. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/juliemurphy/support

Friends, #BREEDERS, let's get real about money. We love it, we hate it, we love to hate it and we hate that we love it. And then there's debt, and family planning, and kids and omg MONEY!

After college, they each moved to separate coasts for a decade. They were reunited when they decided to leave big city life and settle down with their families in Denver, Colorado and Facebook told them their daughters are 3 weeks apart. After several play dates, some more childbirth, some unsuccessful pumping, and the overwhelming nature of mommy community boards, The Pump and Dump Show was born. The show launched in 2012 in a bar in Northwest Denver and quickly grew to a bi-monthly, local staple for new moms to have a night out. In 2014, Shayna and Tracey took The Pump and Dump Show on its first national tour and continue to perform every month to audiences nationwide.

Driving the Speed Limit: similar to following all of the other rules of the road - driving the speed limit is the most surefire way to avoid spending unneccesary money on fines. Just like fines and interest for late payments on your credit card makes it pointless to have one - so speeding and getting tickets make it pointless to drive. Keep your money in your pocket - where it belongs - and drive the speed limit. Driving the speed limit - one less reason for the cops to pull you over. Notable Notes: - What the Internet has to say: This article from The Balance explains a 'spending fast', how to do it, and why. It offers a great introduction and motivation to do a no-spend challenge. - What Jen and Jill have to say: A spending fast could help towards savings goal or paying down debt, but there's even more reasons than this! A no-spend challenge can also reign in spending, assist in identifying priorities, detox the budget, prep for upcoming spending or help you reach a “giving” goal!! OR you can do it just for the sheer challenge of it :) Guidelines: Pick a length of time Choose what CAN you spend on? Obvious = groceries, bills, basic personal care - don’t cut out brushing your teeth! Conversely; choose what you CAN'T spend on, such as clothing, entertainment, eating out, etc. Reduce essentials - utilize as much food as you already have on hand - a spending fast definitely isn’t an excuse to expand your grocery budget for the month! Get BUY IN from family members - no pun intended… Reduce temptations (i.e. unsubscribe to your favorite stores' email list) Plan for exceptions (think “planned versus impulsive”) Beware of pitfalls! Overspending before and after Delaying necessary spending - More from the Internet: This article from Modern Frugality goes into greater detail on the "how-to's" of a no-spend challenge. If you are planning to engage in this spending fast, definitely check out what Jen has to say (write :)) on the topic! - More from Jen and Jill: Consider doing a month without spending on groceries!
