What does it really take to go from financial scarcity and instability to true financial freedom?In this deeply personal episode, Lacy and Jessica pull back the curtain on their biggest financial transformations. They share exactly how they went from fear-based money patterns—Lacy growing up in poverty and Jessica under-earning despite overdelivering—to building expansive, abundant lives rooted in purpose, freedom, and self-worth.Jessica and Lacy reveal the unspoken struggles that blocked them, the subconscious reprogramming tools that freed them, and the specific aligned actions that helped them quantum leap their finances. From opening their first investment accounts to redefining their why, Lacy and Jessica illustrate the exact TBM steps that helped them break free from generational lack and step into magnetic wealth. The truth is, it always comes back to healing those inner child wounds and programming, finding expansion, and taking aligned action–even if it's the tiniest step, like reading a book or reflecting on why you want what you want. This episode is your roadmap for unblocking scarcity, opening income portals, and creating true abundance on your terms. If you've ever thought, “I want to live freely, without fear, with full financial confidence,” this is the episode to show you how to begin.Find the Complete Show Notes Here -> https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast Resources: SALE IS LIVE - $22/month!Join the Pathway MembershipJoin our membership to access the TBM Money Challenge - Now Live!The Pathway Membership gives you unlimited access to all of our manifestation workshops—including How to Manifest, Unblocking Your Inner Child, Shadow, Love, Money, Rock Bottoms, Ruts, and Energetic Updates —plus 70+ self-hypnosis tracks designed to unlock your full potential.

In this episode of Payne Points of Wealth, Bob, Ryan, Chris & Courtney dive into the critical mistakes that could derail your retirement plans. The recent market volatility caused by recent events like tariff announcements can significantly impact returns if you don't make smart decisions with your money. We'll explore three common missteps that investors often make: Doing Too Much: Reacting impulsively to market drops by pulling out investments can lead to missing subsequent recoveries. We'll discuss why staying the course with a comfortable asset allocation is often the better strategy. Did you know that from 2005 through 2024, seven of the S&P 500's 10 best days occurred within two weeks of the 10 worst days? This insight from J.P. Morgan Asset Management highlights the importance of patience. Losing Sight of the Big Picture: With money in different retirement plans from job changes to holding your savings with different financial institutions, it's easy to lose track of how your overall portfolio is allocated. We'll explain how streamlining your investment strategy can be a game-changer for reaching your financial goals. Forgetting About Fees: Many investors are unaware of the fees they pay on their respective portfolios, mainly because most of these costs can be hidden. We'll shed light on how choosing low-cost options and being mindful of fees can help maximize your returns. A U.S. Government Accountability Office report from 2021 found that 41% of 401(k) participants don't know they pay any fees in their plan. We'll help you become fee-savvy to protect your nest egg. Tune in to learn how to avoid these pitfalls and secure your financial future!

Jun 11, 2025 – What if the very structure of modern investing—passively funneling trillions into markets—is silently engineering a financial crisis worse than the 2000 tech bubble? In this compelling interview, Michael Green, Chief Strategist...

Proverbs 16:16 says, “How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.”In a world that chases wealth as the ultimate goal, Scripture calls us to something better—wisdom. Because without godly wisdom, even abundance can lead us astray. Today, Jim Newheiser joins us to explore why wisdom, not money, is the true measure of success in God's economy. Dr. James (Jim) Newheiser, Jr., is the Director of the Christian Counseling Program and Professor of Christian Counseling and Pastoral Theology at RTS Charlotte. He is also the author of several books on the subject of counseling, as well as Money: Seeking God's Wisdom (31-Day Devotionals for Life).Investing in What SatisfiesIsaiah 55:2 details an account where the Lord asks, “Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy?” It's a poignant reminder that many of us chase things that leave us empty. How we spend our time and money reflects what we value. Yet so often, those values are shaped by a world that overpromises and underdelivers.Instead of finding fulfillment in wealth, ultimate satisfaction comes from our relationship with God and the good gifts He provides. Time spent in Scripture, prayer, and worship is far more nourishing than any financial gain. Even the principle of rest in Scripture is God's reminder that we don't need to fill every waking moment with striving.Wisdom or Wealth? A Tale of Two WomenThe book of Proverbs is interesting because in this compilation in Scripture, wisdom is personified as a noble woman worth pursuing, while folly appears as a seductive but destructive adulteress. Proverbs sets up a contrast because Lady Wisdom is like the soul's true bride. She brings joy and delight. But Madame Folly, who represents false promises like the pursuit of money for its own sake, is spiritual adultery, and she leads to misery.The point is clear: what we pursue will shape us. Chase wisdom, and you'll find joy and lasting purpose. Chase wealth, and you may find yourself grasping at the wind.Applying Wisdom in Daily LifeHow do we actually live out this pursuit of wisdom over wealth? For someone who's not used to reading Scripture regularly, it can start with just two pages a day or with a chapter of Proverbs a day. Ask God to speak to you through it.God has promised something far better than material wealth—His presence, His wisdom, and His joy.There's such a huge connection between our hearts and our money, and God is ultimately after our hearts.If you're ready to go deeper in your walk with God by rethinking your financial life through the lens of biblical wisdom, Wisdom Over Wealth is a great place to start. This new 12-lesson study from FaithFi, based on Ecclesiastes, unpacks how true joy isn't found in accumulation but in reverence, surrender, and trust.You can receive a copy of Wisdom Over Wealth when you become a FaithFi Partner.

It's a small amount. As I'm 76, I'm required to set aside a certain amount each year. I would like to give this to my son now so that those amounts can stay in the account and start accruing interest. Can I do that?We have a credit card balance of $15,000 with an interest rate of 11%. We try to pay $2,000 a month, but the balance keeps increasing. Part of the reason is that our 29-year-old daughter, who lives and works in London, has a card on our account. We initially gave her the card for emergencies and plane tickets home, but she's using it for other expenses, such as occasional Ubers and travel. We really want to pay off this card, but we can't make any progress.

A lot of people pour years into building retirement accounts, only to feel trapped by choices that don't really move the needle. Watching the market swing up and down can feel like handing your future over to chance. The idea of taking real control sounds risky at first, but it also feels like the only real way to build something solid. There's something powerful about stepping outside the typical system and making your money work for you in ways most people never even consider. Adam Bergman shares how self-directed IRAs are changing the future of retirement investing. He explains how individuals can use these accounts to invest in real estate, private companies, and even crypto while keeping tax benefits intact. Adam emphasizes that entrepreneurs can tap into retirement funds to fuel their own businesses without penalties. He also broke down the often-overlooked power of compound returns in building lasting wealth. Stay tuned!

Missionary Amy Carmichael once expressed a powerful truth: “You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.”That quote reminds us that generosity isn't just something we do—it reflects who we are in Christ. So, how do we grow into more joyful, intentional givers? Today, we'll talk with Ron Blue about what he calls “living giving”— and how that mindset can bring real financial freedom.Ron Blue is the Co-Founder of Kingdom Advisors and the author of many books on biblical finance, most notably Master Your Money: A Step-by-Step Plan for Experiencing Financial Contentment.Giving Is a Spiritual DecisionGiving reflects our trust in God. When we give—and give first—we're saying, “Lord, You gave this to me, and I'm returning to You what's already Yours. I trust You to meet my needs.”It's a profound shift in perspective. Instead of centering our financial lives on ourselves, giving reorients our hearts toward God's purposes. It stretches our faith and loosens money's grip on our hearts. It doesn't shrink your life—it expands it.Ron Blue classically says, “Do your giving while you're living so you're knowing where it's going.” That's more than a catchy phrase. It's a philosophy rooted in joy. Too many people wait until death to make significant gifts, missing the delight of seeing God work through their generosity in real time.There's something deeply joyful about watching God use what you've given. It's not just about writing a will—it's about living with open hands.True Financial Freedom Starts With Open HandsThink of your money like a closed fist or an open hand. When your fist is closed, you're trying to control or keep what you think is yours. But when you open your hand, you're saying to God, “This is Yours. Use it as You will.”That's what true financial freedom looks like—not merely having enough, but being free from money's control altogether. God doesn't need our money, He wants our hearts. And He knows that money is one of the greatest competitors for our love.As you reflect on your own financial life, maybe it's time to stop asking, “How much do I have to give?” And start asking, “How can I use what I've been given to glorify God—right now?”You can find Ron's book Master Your Money: A Step-by-Step Plan for Experiencing Financial Contentment wherever books are sold.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I use a donor-advised fund for charitable contributions and would like to contribute to a mission trip that my church is organizing. I'm wondering if it's legal from an IRS standpoint to contribute directly to an individual going on a mission trip, or do I give it to the mission fund?I'm paying off a credit card after my mom's death, which costs me $320 a month. I have two options: continue with my current plan or have my wife assist me in paying it off. I wanted to get advice on which approach would be the best to help pay it off.I sell items on eBay, and I'm confused about my tax reporting. When preparing my 2024 taxes, eBay flagged me about my 1099-K, stating that I didn't make enough to require the form. Do I need to add this to my Social Security? As I look online, I've just gotten more confused about different reporting requirements.I'm taking an early retirement, and I understand that I can only earn $24,300 before it impacts my Social Security. It looks like I'm going to go over that amount by just a bit. Do they tax anything over the $24,300, or do they tax the whole amount?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Master Your Money: A Step-by-Step Plan for Experiencing Financial Contentment by Ron BlueChristian 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.

These courses teach life skills and anyone can take them, if you wanto be a better leader, parent, partner, be empowered in your own life, these courses are for you!Melissa's passion project is her non-profit, Girls Matter (www.girlsmatter.ca), breaking the poverty cycle 1 girl, 1 family, 1 village at a time. The mission is to keep girls in school and stop teenage marriages, because school isn't free in over 50 countries around the world and when parents have to make the difficult choices of feeding their kids or paying for school, food wins. And when the girls hit their teen years, they will often be married off so that someone else becomes responsible to feed them. Keeping girls in school instead creates a generational ripple effect, because an educated girl is more than twice as likely to ensure her on children are educated. Educating girls also grows the GDP of countries, when they get into the workforce. This is how together, we can change the world. Guests on this podcast are invited to donate to this important cause.

What if you could pay taxes on a smaller amount while investing in the same deals—and then watch your money grow tax-free for decades? In this episode, we explore a little-known strategy that allows investors to convert traditional retirement accounts to Roth at a discount, even when those funds are tied up in illiquid syndications. Today, we're joined by John Bowens, a self-directed retirement expert from Equity Trust, to walk us through the “discount conversion” strategy and other advanced tax planning tools for passive investors. John explains how real estate syndications, solo 401(k)s, and Roth conversions can work together to help you minimize taxes, create tax-free income, and even build legacy wealth for future generations. If you're holding pre-tax retirement funds, investing in private real estate, or just tired of giving up a chunk of your gains to the IRS, this episode breaks down the tax code strategies that smart LPs are using to protect and grow their wealth.

“I said in my heart, ‘Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy yourself.' But behold, this also was vanity.” — Ecclesiastes 2:1What happens when someone has the power to indulge in every pleasure the world can offer? In Ecclesiastes, we find one of Scripture's boldest experiments: a search for lasting joy through earthly delights. The Preacher—often thought to be Solomon—pursues laughter, wine, work, wealth, sex, and success, all in an effort to answer one question: Can pleasure truly satisfy the human soul?A Culture Chasing the WindToday, we live in a world that echoes the Preacher's experiment. “Treat yourself.” “Follow your heart.” “Do what makes you happy.” These aren't just slogans—they're mantras for modern living. From the vacations we plan to the gadgets we unbox, we're told that happiness is just one more swipe, scroll, or splurge away.But Ecclesiastes challenges that narrative. It forces us to wrestle with a deeper question: What if pleasure doesn't lead where we think it does?The Preacher's pursuit wasn't careless. It was a deliberate, calculated test. He writes, “Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them” (Ecclesiastes 2:10). He built houses, planted vineyards, created lush gardens, hired singers, amassed wealth, surrounded himself with comfort—even concubines.This wasn't indulgence for indulgence's sake. It was a methodical pursuit of happiness. Today, we might say: “If it looked fun, I bought it. If it felt good, I did it.” The experiment was thorough, and the results were heartbreaking.“Behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind.” — Ecclesiastes 1:14The Thrill FadesTo picture this, imagine a bag of old receipts. Each one once captured a moment of excitement—a new purchase, a fancy dinner, a spontaneous trip. But now? They're just scraps. The joy is gone.That's exactly what the Preacher realized. Pleasure was never meant to carry the weight of our deepest needs. It promises fulfillment but delivers only fleeting escape. It's like trying to hold smoke in your hands—real for a moment, then gone.The Preacher's story finds a parallel in Jesus' parable of the prodigal son. The younger son squandered his inheritance chasing worldly pleasures, only to end up broke and broken. The twist? The Preacher had everything the prodigal son dreamed of—wealth, opportunity, indulgence—and yet he ended up just as empty.Different paths. Same conclusion.A Warning That Leads to FreedomHere's the grace in all this: We don't have to repeat the experiment. The Preacher's pain can be our wisdom. He's waving us down from the road ahead, saying, “There's nothing here. Don't waste your life chasing shadows.”That's a gift. It frees us to reflect:What am I turning to when I feel tired or discouraged?What “quick fixes” do I reach for without thinking?What would it look like to seek joy in God instead?God is not against pleasure. He is the Creator of joy and the Giver of every good and perfect gift (James 1:17). But those gifts were never meant to replace Him. When we look to pleasure as the destination rather than a signpost to the Giver, we miss the point—and our hearts remain restless.So next time you reach for something to lift your spirits, ask: Is this joy, or just escape? Is this feeding my soul, or simply distracting it?A Better Way to LiveEcclesiastes doesn't just warn—it redirects. It helps us tear down the idol of pleasure and place our hope in a Person, not a product. And that Person—our God—is the only source of joy that doesn't fade.At FaithFi, we want to help you explore this truth more deeply. That's why we created Wisdom Over Wealth, a Bible study on Ecclesiastes that unpacks themes like pleasure, wealth, and contentment from a biblical lens.This month, when you support FaithFi's ministry with a gift of $35 or more, we'd love to send you a copy as our way of saying thank you.

Since I'm not very experienced with this process, are there any specific forms or steps I need to take at the closing of the sale? I recently made a claim for a new roof, and my insurance went up. Do insurance companies research when you've made a claim on the internet or through a database? I was told by two roofers I didn't need a new roof, but the insurance company insisted I did. I have some money in a credit union that I want to move somewhere to earn more interest. I just discovered I can use my Fidelity account for investing, and they're offering 4%.  I'm wondering about the difference between keeping my money in my Fidelity account or moving it to an online bank, and what the benefits might be.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange (C.L.U.E.)Wisdom 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.

As Cary puts it, “Financial services is the least sympathetic to women, but the one that has the most to gain if they get it right.”We explore why 70–80% of women leave their financial advisors after the death of a spouse (hint: it's not because they want to), and how common industry missteps—like unconscious bias, excessive jargon, and dismissing women's priorities—push female clients away. Cary also unpacks key emotional and financial concerns, including the “bag lady fear” that affects over 50% of women regardless of net worth, and why values-based financial planning matters more than ever.By 2030, women are expected to control two-thirds of the nation's wealth—an estimated $30 trillion—driven by increased longevity, entrepreneurship, “gray divorce,” and rising numbers of female breadwinners. This shift presents a massive opportunity for advisors who are willing to evolve.Whether you're a woman taking charge of your finances, someone who wants to support the women in your life, or a financial professional aiming to create a more inclusive practice, this conversation offers powerful insights into why empathy, education, and intentionality lead to stronger financial outcomes for all.Key Themes:How the industry has failed women—and how it can do betterThe emotional drivers behind women's financial decisionsWhy women often switch advisors after major life eventsThe trillion-dollar wealth transfer and what it means for the futureCreating financial plans that prioritize purpose, not just performanceConnect with Cary Carbonaro Website: https://carycarbonaro.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carycarbonarocfp/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ccarbonaro Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carycarbonaro/ https://x.com/CaryCarbonaroThe previous presentation by PEARL PLANNING was intended for general information purposes only.

In this episode Brian and Jeff discuss different withdrawal strategies to consider in retirement and what to expect during the first 5 years in retirement. 

What does true wealth look like beyond bank accounts and net worth? Dan Sullivan and Jeffrey Madoff explore generational wealth, the pitfalls of financial success without purpose, and why relationships, time freedom, and fulfillment matter more than money. Learn how entrepreneurs can build lasting value—without losing themselves in the process. Show Notes: Wealth isn't just net worth—it's the freedom to focus on what matters most, without financial constraints. An entrepreneur can pass on the results of their talent, but they can't pass on their talent itself. The wealthiest 20% rarely stay in that bracket for long. True sustainability requires reinvention, not just inheritance. The distance between "rich" and "poor" isn't a gap—it's a ladder with multiple rungs, and movement happens in both directions. Taxes don't just redistribute wealth; they reveal how fragile financial success can be without strategy. Generational wealth often persists due to lawyers and accountants, not the achievements of descendants. Once you've maxed out what your efforts can bring you, you have to multiply your income by working less. It might seem counterintuitive, but you can spend your time doing only what you love doing and find people who love doing the rest. True confidence in business comes from pricing boldly—charge what scares you, plus 20%—and eliminating "maybes." Wealth without relationships, purpose, or peace is poverty in disguise  Resources: The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel You Are Not A Computer by Dan Sullivan Learn more about Jeffrey Madoff Dan Sullivan and Strategic Coach®

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – We go back to 1971, when the United States fully severed the dollar from gold. That's the moment when the government gave itself permission to spend without limit and pay for it through the hidden tax of inflation. And they've done it, again and again. From the housing crisis to COVID relief, the answer to every problem has been to print more money...

“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.” - 2 Corinthians 8:9This powerful verse is often quoted when we talk about generosity, and rightly so. It shows us that generosity isn't just a financial principle—it's rooted in the very heart of the Gospel. Today, Dr. Nathan W. Harris joins us to explore that connection more deeply.Dr. Nathan W. Harris is the Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at The University of Mobile in Mobile, Alabama. He is also the author of A Short Guide to Gospel Generosity: Giving as an Act of Grace.What Is Gospel Generosity?Gospel generosity is giving rooted in the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. Generosity is not merely a virtue for the Christian life but a cheerful disposition that springs forth from the gospel. This kind of generosity arises from new life in Christ, is empowered by the Holy Spirit, and reflects the Father's model of grace throughout creation.At its core, gospel generosity isn't just about giving—it's about proclaiming and portraying Christ's saving work in our lives. It signifies a radical transformation of a believer's heart and mind, leading to joyful stewardship of resources in service to God's kingdom.Beyond the Tithe: A Higher CallingOne of the most debated topics surrounding generosity is the concept of tithing. Are Christians called to tithe, or is there a greater expectation?While tithing—giving 10%—is not explicitly required for Christians, the gospel calls us to something far greater. We aren't obligated to give; instead, Christians have an incredible gospel opportunity. We are called to live generously, humbly, selflessly, and with the kingdom of God in mind.This perspective reframes giving not as a rule to follow but as an act of grace and worship, rooted in gratitude for what Christ has done.How the Gospel Transforms Our View of MoneyThe gospel transforms our hearts and minds and revolutionizes how we approach money and stewardship. Martin Luther once said:“There are three conversions in one's life—the conversion of the heart, the mind, and the pocketbook.” When we encounter Christ, our hearts are filled with affection for Him, and our minds are set on heavenly things. However, many Christians struggle to surrender their finances to God fully. You can't hold on to Christ while also holding on to your money.A heart transformed by the gospel desires to honor Christ above wealth. A mind renewed by the gospel prioritizes kingdom values over worldly ones. This transformation shapes every aspect of our financial lives, from earning and saving to spending and giving.Living as Stewards of God's ResourcesWhen our hearts and minds are fully surrendered to Christ, our finances naturally follow. Giving becomes not just an obligation but an act of worship and a reflection of the gospel's transforming power.To explore these ideas further, check out Dr. Nathan W. Harris's book,  A Short Guide to Gospel Generosity: Giving as an Act of Grace. This concise guide offers biblical wisdom and practical insights into living a life of joyful, gospel-rooted generosity.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a whole life insurance policy for my mom that we've been paying on for about nine years.
