We all want the best for our kids, but knowing what's truly best isn't always easy.You've probably heard it—or said it yourself: “I just want my kids to have what I didn't.” It sounds noble, but it can sometimes lead to financial trouble. Today, we'll talk with Dr. Art Rainer about how that mindset can push parents into debt.Dr. Art Rainer is the founder of the Institute for Christian Financial Health and Christian Money Solutions. He is a regular contributor here at Faith & Finance and the author of Money in the Light of Eternity: What the Bible Says about Your Financial Purpose.6 Things That Can Lead Loving Parents Into DebtRaising kids is one of the most joyful and rewarding callings in life, but it can also be financially challenging. As parents, we want to give our children the best: opportunities, experiences, and resources that help them flourish. But sometimes, even with the best intentions, we can fall into financial traps that lead to debt.Here are six common ways loving parents may unintentionally sabotage their finances—and how to avoid them.1. Trying to Keep Up with the JonesesIt's a familiar struggle: your neighbor buys designer clothes for their kids or sends them to an elite private school, and suddenly you feel the need to do the same. But appearances can be deceiving—many people fund their lifestyle with debt. Chasing someone else's standard is a never-ending race, and the finish line keeps moving. Be cautious of modeling your spending after others who may not be living within their means.2. Falling into the Social Media Comparison TrapSocial media only shows the highlight reel. Perfect family vacations, overachieving kids, and pristine homes can tempt you to measure your life against a filtered illusion. These comparisons can spark discontentment and drive unnecessary purchases just to keep up appearances or ease the guilt of not "measuring up." Be mindful of how much your scrolling influences your spending.3. Believing Your Kids Need to Have It AllFrom travel teams to private lessons and elite camps, extracurricular activities have become a costly arms race. While these opportunities can be beneficial, they shouldn't come at the expense of your financial health. Don't believe the lie that your child will fall behind if they don't do everything. It's okay to say no, for the sake of your budget and your family's peace.4. Prioritizing Career Success Over Character DevelopmentThere's nothing wrong with wanting your children to succeed in school and in life, but academic or career accomplishments should never come at the cost of neglecting their hearts. Investing in your child's character, through time, guidance, and godly instruction, often requires less money but more intentional effort. And in the end, it matters far more.5. Overcompensating for What You Didn't HaveIf you lacked certain things growing up, it's natural to want your kids to have more. Whether it was a nicer bike, newer clothes, or a first car, those memories can shape how you respond as a parent. But giving in to every request—even on credit—can backfire. Love doesn't always mean saying “yes.” Sometimes it means exercising the wisdom to say “not right now.”6. Forgetting the Value of Doing WithoutNot getting what you wanted as a kid may have helped you grow. Maybe you learned creativity, resilience, or the value of work through those experiences. Don't rob your children of the same opportunity. Saying no might actually prepare them better for life than always saying yes.Loving your children doesn't mean giving them everything. It means stewarding your finances in a way that honors God and serves your family's long-term well-being. Avoiding debt is one of the best gifts you can give your children—it provides stability, models wisdom, and frees your family to give generously.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I called about our whole life insurance policy. We've paid for 10 years and only have 19,000 saved with a 150,000 death benefit.

In today's sobering continuation of Proverbs 1, Rick and Doc unpack Solomon's warning about the seductive power of greed and the destruction it invites. The passage reveals how sinners entice the innocent with promises of wealth, unity, and shared gain—only to ensnare themselves in their own traps. With powerful commentary on spiritual discernment, personal responsibility, and the societal implications of unchecked greed, this episode urges listeners to choose their paths and companions wisely.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart. 5/27/25Join the leading community for Conservative Christians! https://www.FaithandValues.comIf you're a Faith & Values member, watch today's show with other members here:https://members.faithandvalues.com/posts/morning-manna-may-27-2025-proverbs-113-19-greedy-hearts-lay-traps-for-themselves-85151809You can partner with us by visiting https://www.FaithandValues.com/donate, calling 1-800-576-2116, or by mail at PO Box 399 Vero Beach, FL 32961.Get high-quality emergency preparedness food today from American Reserves!https://www.AmericanReserves.comIt's the Final Day!

In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, Steve Riley explores time management and focus strategies with Shawn McNalis, an Atticus Practice Advisor and trainer with over 30 years of experience. Together, they uncover the most common time traps that prevent attorneys from reaching their full potential. They also share proven strategies for defending strategic time blocks and establishing boundaries that support professional growth. Shawn brings her wealth of knowledge from coaching thousands of lawyers and co-authoring pivotal books on time management and performance. Steve and Shawn delve into the “time starvation trap”—a common pitfall where attorneys confuse busyness with true productivity. Through the lens of The Habit Shift workshop, they reveal how ineffective time habits often go unnoticed until they become overwhelming. They share the story of Jordan, a family law attorney who used time management tools to reclaim her schedule. By protecting strategic time blocks and focusing on high-value work, Jordan boosted client development and significantly reduced stress. In another example, solo practitioner Taylor learned to combat overwork by delegating tasks, avoiding overcommitment, and conducting focused time audits. These changes gave her the bandwidth to think strategically and grow her firm. Shawn also discusses how the relentless pace of law school often carries into professional life, encouraging constant hustle over smart planning. Steve and Shawn lay out a practical roadmap for setting boundaries that promote both success and sanity. They highlight the value of time audits, client selection, and protecting strategic time like your business depends on it. Because it does! Whether you're a new attorney or a seasoned professional, this episode offers actionable strategies to improve your focus, reclaim your time, and transform both your practice and your life. In this episode, you will hear: Introduction to time management and focus strategies for attorneys, emphasizing productivity and overcoming time traps Insights from The Habit Shift workshop, focused on performance improvement through strategic time blocking and boundary-setting The “time starvation trap” and how time audits help prioritize high-value tasks, illustrated by Jordan's story Tips for managing competing priorities, including a segment on Alex, a team leader using a 90-day focus tool to align with firm partners Addressing the law firm culture of overwork, with practical guidance on task delegation and selective client intake Encouragement to intentionally design the practice and life you want through boundaries and high-impact habits Actionable advice to build self-awareness and put consistent effort into earning both success and personal fulfillment Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

In Episode 356 of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Burning Bright unpack Trump's jaw-dropping Oval Office confrontation with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, where Trump rolls out footage of violent anti-white rhetoric and attacks on farmers, forcing the world to confront the genocide debate in real time. The hosts analyze the media's panicked response, the theatrical deployment of “content president” optics, and the geopolitical strategy behind Trump's maneuver. They then expand into the broader battle space, questioning Trump's continued engagement with legacy media while dismantling the illusion of their legitimacy. The conversation spans the controlled retreat of the press, the AutoPen pardon scandal, Biden's cognitive decline, and Trump's narrative inversion that subtly delegitimizes the Biden presidency, while showing him unexpected sympathy. Also on deck: Israel's ongoing Gaza operations, Tim Pool and Charlie Kirk's media gatekeeping, Theo Von's unexpected Gaza statement, and General Steve Kwast's long-overdue mainstream exposure. With biting humor and razor-sharp insights, the episode underscores why independent media, narrative control, and truth-telling, on energy, war, and elections, are more important than ever in the twilight of the old world order.
Health care is one of the most misunderstood—and potentially costly—parts of retirement. In this episode of Retiring Today, we analyze three common health care traps that can affect your income, confidence, and quality of life in retirement. From Medicare premiums to long-term care expenses, these health care traps can be avoided with proactive planning. Here's a quick look at each trap and how to prepare for it:Trap #1: Failing to Plan for Extra CostsMany retirees overlook out-of-pocket expenses like copays, dental, and prescriptions. Planning for these costs within your income plan helps avoid stress when unexpected bills arise.Trap #2: Underestimating Medicare PremiumsMedicare premiums are based on income from two years prior. A sudden rise in income can push you into a higher premium tier—sometimes over $600/month. Coordinated planning helps avoid these surprises.Trap #3: Ignoring Long-Term Care NeedsAbout 70% of people over age 65 will need some form of long-term care. Medicare covers only limited days of skilled nursing care, and extended care needs can quickly drain savings. We cover options that can help manage this risk.--Ready to take the next step?

Additionally, Steve shares some fun national days, including "Talk Like Yoda Day" and the peculiar "Drinking with a Chicken Day."

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Liam Garman sits down with Sam Gordon from Australian Property Scout and the School of Property to discuss property investment strategies and common mistakes. The duo starts by discussing Sam's 15 years of experience in property investment, which has helped him shape different strategies, showing that resilience is essential, as the path to success includes challenges and setbacks. While the duo agrees that the best time to invest may have been years ago, the next best time is now. According to Sam, a standard investment error is to purchase property based on emotion rather than sound logic. He also cautions against taking advice from inexperienced professionals, which can lead to costly mistakes, while emphasising the importance of building a reliable “A-team” of qualified experts. The duo then discuss how investors should treat their portfolios like a business, with structure and a clear strategy, starting with long-term goals and reverse engineering the steps to get there is key. Sam also stresses that investors' mindset and consistent planning can make or break a portfolio.

(00:01) Fairway Bunker Shots This chapter explores strategies for effectively getting out of fairway bunkers in golf. We discuss the importance of assessing the firmness of the sand and the technique of planting your back foot firmly to create a stable stance, allowing for a full, powerful swing without slipping. Additionally, we cover selecting the appropriate club based on the bunker lip and distance to the green, ensuring the club can clear the lip while aiming for the back edge of the green for optimal results. The focus is on understanding the conditions and adapting your approach to maintain control and maximize distance from the bunker. (13:03) Mastering Fairway Bunker Shots This chapter focuses on the strategies for successfully hitting golf shots from different types of bunkers, particularly fairway and greenside bunkers. We explore techniques for handling soft and firm sand conditions, emphasizing the importance of stance and club selection. The conversation highlights the differences in approach between fairway bunkers, where the goal is to advance the ball significantly, and greenside bunkers, which often require a softer touch to escape. Additionally, I provide practical advice for tackling the tricky 30 to 40-yard bunker shot by using a pitching wedge or a nine iron, encouraging players to adopt a simpler method for achieving greater distance. Through these insights, we aim to enhance players' bunker play and improve their overall game strategy. (20:52) Improving Bunker Play Techniques This chapter explores effective strategies for improving your golf game, particularly focusing on bunker play. We emphasize the importance of finding the right posture in the bunker, whether standing tall or maintaining a lower stance, to achieve consistency in shots. Practicing regularly to adapt to different sand textures and lie angles is key to mastering these skills. We discuss the "hinge and thump" technique, which is beneficial for getting out of both fairway and greenside bunkers. By applying these methods, you can improve your game and impress onlookers with your skillful bunker shots. We also remind listeners to engage with us via email for any specific golfing questions they may have. (25:18) Efficient Swing Techniques for Tough Lies This chapter explores a golf technique for hitting out of difficult lies, focusing on how to effectively use wrist hinging and positioning the ball in the stance to achieve optimal results. I discuss the concept of swinging the club straight up and down mentally, even though the swing forms an arc, to manage shots from the sand, fairway, and thick rough. By placing the ball forward in the stance, at the bottom of the swing arc, and maintaining a square club face, the technique enables the ball to shoot up high and land softly without the need to open the club face, which minimizes the risk of mishits. This method is contrasted with the traditional approach of putting the ball back in the stance, which can lead to lower, hotter shots. The conversation highlights how this technique is practical for amateurs who do not practice as much as professionals, and it circumvents the complexities of opening the club face and adjusting the stance, offering a simpler yet effective strategy for overcoming challenging lies. (34:42) Strategic Bunker Play Techniques This chapter explores the challenges and strategies associated with playing from fairway bunkers and green-side pot bunkers, emphasizing the importance of selecting the right club to safely clear bunker lips. We discuss how experienced players assess their trajectory and make informed club choices, often opting for a more lofted club to ensure they get out of the bunker on the first try. The conversation highlights the mindset of minimizing risks and making strategic decisions to avoid worsening a difficult situation. The thrill and technique of tackling Scotland's famous pot bunkers are also covered, with a focus on executing successful shots even when the primary goal is simply to escape the bunker. The discussion underscores the mantra of planning the next shot to optimize positioning for subsequent plays, emphasizing patience and strategy over ambitious distance. (41:43) Strategic Fairway Bunker Play Tips This chapter takes a reflective look at the strategic approach to dealing with fairway bunkers in golf. We reminisce about an impressive shot from a fairway bunker that defied the odds, but acknowledge that most players need to be realistic about their capabilities. Emphasizing the importance of understanding one's limitations, we discuss the necessity of selecting the right club to safely navigate out of a bunker and onto the fairway. The goal is to place the ball in a position that makes the next shot more manageable. We also consider the purpose of fairway bunkers, suggesting they serve as a prompt to think critically about shot placement and club selection, encouraging players to aim strategically to avoid landing in them.

It's not unusual for business owners to hit their goals and still feel like something's missing. The money, the recognition—it all lands a little flat when there's no deeper connection to what it's all for. That sense of isolation can grow quietly, even as the business grows louder. Real meaning often shows up in the people you impact, not the numbers you hit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5ArkAKz0II Vinnie Fisher is an entrepreneur, author, and leadership mentor who's built and sold multiple businesses.

Check out my Free Worldbuilding and Brainstorming Workshop: https://mightyartisan.com/worldbuilding This will help you refine your ideas for personal projects and build the skills needed to be a successful designer and author!—This is The Forty Forth Episode of the Visual Scholar Podcast - With Tim Mcburnie.Artists who build successful careers aren't just talented - they've developed a clear, consistent presence that makes their work instantly recognizable.Below is in Automagically generated summary so you can check out the content and also to help with search functionality!—In this episode, I explore the concept of "presence" - how successful artists develop a recognizable identity that makes their work instantly identifiable and shareable. While artists naturally love experimenting with different styles and mediums, building a successful career often means finding your unique signal and consistently amplifying it over time.Creating presence means developing a clear artistic "character" that people can easily describe to others - "this artist does this type of work and is known for this specific thing." It's about making yourself easily recognizable and understood in a crowded marketplace. This doesn't mean you can't evolve, but the consistency helps people connect with your work more deeply and remember you.I share my own journey of flip-flopping between styles and how my career gained momentum when I finally committed to a consistent direction. Building presence is a long game - it might take 3-7 years to see significant results - but the payoff is that your career starts rolling downhill like a snowball rather than feeling like you're pushing a boulder uphill. Successful presence comes from clarity and strategic repetition, making it easier for people to discover, connect with, and share your work.—00:00 Intro02:11 Welcome03:27 Presence & Impact Framework Recap15:03 Why We Avoid Building A Presence23:31 What Does A Successful Presence Mean?39:03 Play The Long Game: Presence Takes Time52:12 The Analytical Takeaway53:33 The Simple Takeaway53:57 The Practical Takeaway55:17 The Philosophical Takeaway59:12 Out—The Visual Scholar Podcast is designed to help you demystify the world of Art, Productivity, and Creativity.

What you see on social media can stand in your way of being shamelessly sexy.

To counteract this, change your media diet (follow fewer accounts that make you feel terrible, and more accounts that make you feel good), reflect on what exactly you are jealous of in a post so you can take action to make it happen, and consider taking a social media break altogether.Longer Answer
