Rentvesting offers first-home buyers a unique way to get on the property ladder, but what about the tax implications? In this episode, we sit down with Catherine Simons, a seasoned tax accountant, to explore the nitty-gritty of how rentvesting can work in your favour financially. If you’re wondering about deductions, depreciation, and capital gains tax, you’re in the right place. We unpack the key differences between owning a home to live in and purchasing an investment property. We also explain concepts like negative gearing and how depreciation can be a cash-flow booster—even if the property is positively geared. We cover why planning is everything, from resetting valuations to understanding which expenses you can claim now versus those that get capitalised over time. For first-home buyers, we discuss common scenarios, like living in a property before renting it out versus renting first and moving in later. These situations come with vastly different tax rules, and Catherine shares practical tips to avoid costly mistakes. Her advice? Always keep detailed records and have the right experts guiding you. Sure, rentvesting can be a smart strategy for entering the property market, but it’s crucial to approach it with careful planning and the right advice. And this episode highlights the importance of understanding tax rules, making informed decisions, and working with professionals to maximise benefits while avoiding costly mistakes.

Securing generational wealth has never been more critical in today's rapidly evolving financial landscape. It's not just about safeguarding our financial future; it's about leaving behind a legacy that can provide security and opportunity for generations to come. In this episode, we dive into the Family Banking Formula concept on The Money Advantage podcast. The insights are empowering and transformative, and I'm excited to share them with you. https://www.youtube.com/live/FZTDxocCGwY We will guide you through the key strategies discussed in the podcast, from the concept of the family banking formula to the strategic use of whole life insurance. My goal is to equip you with the knowledge and motivation to take control of your financial future, ensuring that you not only secure wealth for yourself but also create a lasting legacy for your family. The Power of the Family Banking Formula: Building a Financial LegacyGenerational Wealth Through Whole Life Insurance: A Strategic AssetPersonal Banking Within the Family: Creating a Private Financial EcosystemThe Mechanics of the Family Banking Formula: How It WorksLeveraging Life Insurance for High-Net-Worth Wealth BuildingStability and Risk Management: The Strength of Insurance CompaniesTake Control of Your Financial Future with the Family Banking Formula The Power of the Family Banking Formula: Building a Financial Legacy The core idea behind the family banking formula is to take control of the banking function in your life instead of relying on traditional banks. We use specially designed whole life insurance policies to manage our family bank. At the heart of how we have personally implemented this concept is the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC), which is a strategy that allows individuals to become their own bankers. One of the key benefits of family banking is the ability to pool resources within the family. Imagine a system where you and your family members can borrow money from the family bank to fund various endeavors, whether it's starting a business, paying for education, or purchasing a home. By doing this, you keep the wealth within the family, allowing it to grow through uninterrupted compound interest. This approach not only benefits you and your immediate family but also sets up future generations for financial success.  Successful family banking isn't just about having the right financial structures in place—it's about adopting the right mindset, teaching future generations financial literacy, and providing accountability and mentorship, which are crucial for making the most of family banking. Family banking offers unparalleled access to liquidity, better returns, and reduced taxes. But more importantly, it fosters a mindset that views the family as a cohesive financial unit and promotes long-term financial independence. Imagine your family as a corporation, where each member plays a crucial role in building and maintaining financial health. By pooling resources and making strategic decisions together, your family can achieve financial goals that might seem out of reach if tackled individually. This approach strengthens family ties and lays the groundwork for a legacy of wealth, value creation, and financial literacy that can be passed down through generations. This fits well with the definition of legacy in my book Seven Generations Legacy: Design a Multigenerational Legacy of More Than Money. The definition is: “The character, values, and financial means to live life on your terms that are modeled, taught, stewarded, and given from one generation to the next.” To take it one step further, a perpetual legacy is family wealth and flourishing that grows with each successive generation. Generational Wealth Through Whole Life Insurance: A Strategic Asset One of the podcast's most impactful revelations is the strategic use of whole life insurance to build and preserve generational wealth. Unlike term life insurance,

Rodrigo Cuesta is a Medical Doctor and Surgeon who could not find a good job despite having a great CV. This led him to entrepreneurship and he founded his first company in Telehealth. He sold that and blew 50% of the money trying to invest in different things with leverage. The rest of the money was invested in a venture studio that also got acquired. All of that reward was converted into Bitcoin and Rodrigo never looked back. He stopped being a speculator and is now following a low-risk strategy to accumulate more Bitcoin. → Follow Rodrigo on https://twitter.com/Roxqsta

The host emphasizes the importance of understanding this relationship and how it can lead to a better and more fulfilled life. The chapters cover topics such as the role of time in wealth building, the implication of time in our financial future, maximizing money and understanding life's purpose, using money to gain more time, overcoming scarcity mindset, investing in oneself, the power of mentorship, and changing mindset to spend money wisely. Takeaways Time is a crucial factor in wealth building, with compound interest over a long period being the key to significant growth.

This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, novelist and life coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, June 12, 2023. Today's episode will be a replay of a podcast I did on November 14, 2022 titled "Are You Worried about Your Financial Future?" _________________________________________ Originally published and broadcast on Monday, November 14, 2022 . . . If you've had your eyes open at all, you know about the predicted food shortages and famines, the projected stock market crash, and the move toward a digital world currency. All of these ominous events are causing great anxiety among the world population. Already I've read that some families here in America have reduced their daily meals to two a day instead of the usual three. Drought has ruined many crops throughout the world, and, if things don't change, the world is heading to famine. But today I'd like to encourage you not to be anxious nor to fear,  I'm going to share with you some promises from God for His children. (If you are not His child, then listen closely so you can become His child and receive these benefits as well.) The world is fast heading into a time period that the Bible calls "the time of Jacob's trouble" (Jeremiah 30: 7). This will be a seven-year time period, also known as the Tribulation, during which God will judge the Jews for rejecting the Messiah. The Book of Revelation speaks extensively of the time of Jacob's trouble. During this time, there will be widespread famine. The fact that we are witnessing the approach of global famine now means that the Tribulation is not far off, and the return of Jesus is even closer. The Bible tells us that Jesus will return to remove His followers from the earth before the Tribulation. He said that when we see all these things converging—wars, rumors of wars, increase in the number and intensity of earthquakes, violent storms, and food shortages—we can know that His return is imminent. So, what can you do? 1. The most important thing you need to do is to get born again if you are not yet born again. What does the term "born again" mean? It means to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord so that you can experience the new birth He died to give you. You see, when we were born physically into this world, we received a fallen, corrupted spirit that separated us from God. Jesus wants to give us a new spirit that connects us back to God. Jesus died and paid the price for the sin that caused our corrupted spirits in the first place and, in exchange, He gives us eternal life. So, the first order of business is to get born again. Do it now! How? 1. Acknowledge before God that you are a sinner. 2. Repent of your sin. This means turn away from it and go in the opposite direction.  3. Receive Jesus into your heart by asking Him to come in. Once you do these three things, you become a child of God (John 1: 12). And as His child, You become eligible for His blessings.

Taking Control of Your Financial Future for You and Your Business Mark Willis is a man on a mission to help you think differently about your money, your economy and your future. After graduating with six figures of student loan debt and discovering a way to turn his debt into real wealth as he watched everybody lose their retirement savings and home equity in 2008, he knew that he needed to find a more predictable way to meet his financial objectives and those of his clients. Mark is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER, a THREE TIME #1 Best Selling Author, the Owner of Lake Growth Financial Services, a financial firm in Chicago, Illinois and co-host of the Not Your Average Financial Podcast. Over the years, he has helped hundreds of his clients take back control of their financial future and build their businesses with proven, tax-efficient financial solutions unknown to most financial gurus. He has become known as “Not Your Average Financial Planner!” What problem do you solve? The greatest financial challenge facing every business owner and American – Banking. Show Notes: It's important to think about what you want your money to do for you or else everyone else will tell your money what to do (i.e. McDonald's, Apple, Netflix). Build your wish list then make a plan. The “Arrival Syndrome” is the worst virus that has effected humans. It is the thought that you have arrived at the best of what you can do. The biggest problem you have in business are silent partners – Uncle Sam and The Bank. The Bank – Debt is one of the oldest institutions in human history. The bank can suck profits off our back. Uncle Sam – As a business owner, the the tax bill is the largest expense over your lifetime. To make sure your minimize your tax bill, make sure your money isn't taxed in retirement. Money We want it to be liquid. We want it to be tax-advantaged. We want it to a passive income in retirement. We want it to be a source of money we can use like a bank for ourselves. The bank on yourself strategy helps minimize your bank bill and your tax bill. This is done through life insurance policies. *** You must do this with the advice of a certified financial planner. The founders of JCPenney, Disney and McDonalds have used this method. We haven't heard about this because banks and WallStreet don't want us to know about this. The policy has to be designed a certain way to be able to do this.

This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, novelist and life coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, November 14, 2022, and this is Episode #34 of Series 2022. This episode is titled "Are You Worried about Your Financial Future?" _________________________________________ If you've had your eyes open at all, you know about the predicted food shortages and famines, the projected stock market crash, and the move toward a digital world currency. All of these ominous events are causing great anxiety among the world population. Already I've read that some families here in America have reduced their daily meals to two a day instead of the usual three. Drought has ruined many crops throughout the world, and, if things don't change, the world is heading to famine. But today I'd like to encourage you not to be anxious nor to fear,  I'm going to share with you some promises from God for His children. (If you are not His child, then listen closely so you can become His child and receive these benefits as well.) The world is fast heading into a time period that the Bible calls "the time of Jacob's trouble" (Jeremiah 30: 7). This will be a seven-year time period, also known as the Tribulation, during which God will judge the Jews for rejecting the Messiah. The Book of Revelation speaks extensively of the time of Jacob's trouble. During this time, there will be widespread famine. The fact that we are witnessing the approach of global famine now means that the Tribulation is not far off, and the return of Jesus is even closer. The Bible tells us that Jesus will return to remove His children from the world before the Tribulation. He said that when we see all these things converging—wars, rumors of wars, increase in the number and intensity of earthquakes, violent storms, and food shortages—we can know that His return is imminent. So, what can you do? 1. The most important thing you need to do is to get born again if you are not yet born again. What does the term "born again" mean? It means to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord so that you can experience the new birth He died to give you. You see, when we were born physically into this world, we received a fallen, corrupted spirit that separated us from God. Jesus wants to give us a new spirit that connects us back to God. Jesus died and paid the price for the sin that caused our corrupted spirits in the first place and, in exchange, He gives us eternal life. So, the first order of business is to get born again. Do it now! How? 1. Acknowledge before God that you are a sinner. 2. Repent of your sin. This means turn away from it and go in the opposite direction.  3. Receive Jesus into your heart by asking Him to come in. Once you do these three things, you become a child of God (John 1: 12). And as His child, You become eligible for His blessings. One of His blessings includes financial provision. He promises in Philippians 4: 19 that He will supply all your need. This means that He will provide everything you need because you are His child.

Simply being able to pay your bills each month is not enough. Unexpected job loss. Medical emergency. Natural disaster. In an instant, an unforeseen event can put you on shaky financial footing if you're not prepared. And retirement? Forget about it. The good news is, it's not too late, and it doesn't matter where you start. It just matters that you follow a proven plan for building wealth and that you begin now, says author and financial planner Edward R. Williams. “I grew up thinking that the number one priority with money is finding a way to get the bills paid,” he says. “There were never any conversations about saving and investing. I fell into many of the same traps as an adult. It felt like every time I saved a little bit of money, something would happen that would require that money I had saved.” Williams hit rock bottom when his diabetic father needed surgery and asked the younger Williams to help cover some of the expenses. But he wasn't able to. Feeling powerless and ashamed, Williams endeavored to create an actionable, practical system for building wealth. The result is what Williams calls The Wedge™, a framework for building wealth through insurance, investments, and retirement and estate planning. His new book, Wealth Building for Beginners: Your Manual for Taking Control of Your Financial Future, Now! details the top three personal obstacles to overcome and how to do so; provides step-by-step instructions for building The Wedge™; and offers ways to sustain and optimize financial habits. Williams shares his own financial ups and downs that he weathered before he found success, and uses a personable approach that makes financial concepts easy for readers to understand. Ultimately, Wealth Building for Beginners is an instruction manual for ordinary people that encourages readers to take baby steps to overpower procrastination and use that momentum for building wealth. Author Edward R. Williams is an experienced and knowledgeable advisor, and registered representative who works with investment products, stock, bonds, annuities, mutual funds, life insurance, estate planning and retirement strategies. After working as an investment banker on Wall Street in New York and London, he launched his own financial services company, Williams Financial Group LLC. Over the past 23 years, he has helped numerous individuals and businesses plan for a successful financial future. The Williams Financial Group is currently known for working with faith-based communities and instituting the cutting-edge “wedge” process to help congregation members achieve wealth. As a planner, his focus is on helping clients make well-informed decisions regarding the best financial tools for achieving their individual goals. He believes in developing client relationships based on integrity, accountability and excellent service.

Paul Merriman interviews Tim Ranzetta, President of Next Generation Personal Finance (NGPF.org), about his organization’s commitment to financial education for teachers and students, which is extraordinary. NGPF was created on the belief that financial literacy is the key to creating stable futures for the next generation. It promotes financial education in our public schools, and provides free engaging curriculum and professional development for any educator who is interested in the program, with an abundance of free resources for all. Learn about the results NGPF is tracking and the reasons not every student in the U.S. is being given access to this valuable, life-changing education. Discover the actions you can take to improve the financial future of your children, grandchildren and other young people (and educators) in your life and community. NGPF produced a video called “The Most Important Class You Never Had,” (watch on YouTube), which explains the critical impact of financial literacy on our lives — and how improving an understanding of finance during youth can change behavior into adulthood. NGPF focuses on helping students in grades 6-12. This interview is the final in the 2021 series of Financial Literacy Month events, “Take Control of Your Financial Future,” sponsored by The Merriman Financial Education Foundation, Bainbridge Community Foundation and Library U, a resource of the Bainbridge Public Library.

Today on The Wealth Secrets Podcast, Sean Adams talks to Peter Lount of Ascendant Financial. They discuss the importance of asserting control over one's financial future by adopting good habits and effective systems. Peter experienced firsthand how conventional financial tools have failed to achieve his desired results. By becoming his own banker, he now leverages his own cash for maximum returns. [02:37] Exchanging Time for Money [05:26] The Problem with Conventional Wisdom [09:51] Take Control of Your Financial Future [16:07] Become Your Own Banker [22:57] Paying Ourselves Back [26:17] Estate Planning & Generational Wealth Exchanging Time for Money At his old job, Peter was earning a six-figure salary. Even with a large income, he and his peers felt like they couldn't escape the proverbial rat race. Most of them, including Peter, started side hustles in order to make multiple streams of income. In a sense, they were exchanging hours for dollars. However, adding more revenue didn't necessarily solve their problems. Within such a high paced work environment, they had little time or energy to look into alternative solutions to grow their savings. The Problem with Conventional Wisdom As an employee at a big corporation, Peter had to sign up for government benefits. When he moved jobs, the same thing happened. It didn't feel right to him because it felt like he was losing control over his money. When he finally found a way to get out of the system, he felt empowered. Government qualified plans are marketed as financial programs that help us get ahead. But if you think about it, the way it works doesn't seem to work in our favor. You provide them capital but the government sets all the rules and leaves you with very little gains and control. Take Control of Your Financial Future The education system lacks courses on financial literacy. As a result, most of us grow up to believe that we are bad with numbers. When we are presented with simple financial products, we buy into it out of convenience. This is exactly what big corporations want. To stop this cycle, you must learn the basics of personal finance. Take control of your financial future by doing your own research. If you outsource decisions, you won't get the results that you want. Know what your goals are and take a closer look at the processes behind products or investments. By learning about how money works, you can make decisions that will be in your best interests.

Paul Merriman interviews Larry Swedroe, renowned speaker and prolific writer on the science of investing, about his new, updated book, The Complete Guide to a Successful and Secure Retirement. But the discussion focuses on the validity of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, including the Dogecoin, the $36 billion dollar joke. Larry wrote a blog about cryptocurrencies in 2017. He stands by those statements. The interview also covers the following topics: investor challenges with markets at very high prices and lower expected future returns Historically low bond yields and low expected future returns Steps investors should take to live in a period of lower expected returns Additionally, Larry responds to questions from Paul and viewers about asset allocation, asset location for stocks and bonds, distribution limits, Roth conversions, considering Social Security as a bond, his own favorite asset allocation, future premiums for value and small cap asset classes, the importance of working with a fiduciary, the value of a family financial mission statement, how much to share with family members, reverse mortgages, the use of Monte Carlo studies, the role of annuities and many more important issues. Read Larry’s article, “How to Treat Social Security and Your Home in Your Financial Plan,” which addresses how investors should consider Social Security in regards to their equity/bond asset allocation. Paul strongly recommends the 2021 update of Larry’s book, The Complete Guide to a Successful and Secure Retirement, citing that investors will benefit from becoming aware of and avoiding at least 25 mistakes… every one of which is potentially a life-changing move. This conversation was part of a free series Financial Literacy Month presentations, “Taking Control of Your Financial Future,” co-sponsored by The Merriman Financial Education Foundation, the Bainbridge Community Foundation and Library U, a program of the Bainbridge Public Library.

Please take our very short survey! http://survey.libsyn.com/debtproofliving This episode was recorded in February 2020 prior to the widespread economic effects resulting from COVID-19 stay-at-home regulations. 0:01 It’s the same thing with money... I'm promising you. Welcome to Debt-Proof Living with Mary Hunt it's all about life money and how to live well and thrive below your means. Today on Debt- Proof Living with Mary Hunt, we continue along our journey based on one of Mary's best selling books 7 Money Rules for Life, How to Take Control of Your Financial Future. That book is available online or wherever fine books are sold. This episode is part two of our series, How to Take Control of Your Money. 0:38 Mary: Hi everyone! This is Mary Hunt. I'm so happy you're with me today for this episode. We are putting together the series basically for how financial intelligence is going to improve your life. I know that sounds so academic, doesn’t it? This is just basic basic rules for life having to do with your money. Think about this. If you have children or wherever a child yourself which I guess includes every single person you know. We grew up with rules. Probably the first one I ever remembered  0:56 having to do with your money think about this if you have children or wherever a child yourself which I guess includes every single person you know we grew up with rules and probably the first one I ever remembered learning was crossing the street. 1:10 There's a rule - you just don't run out, you stand there. Are you with me? You look left. You look right. You see if a car is coming and then you can proceed cautiously.  We all know that. We don't have to relearn that every day of our lives. We just know it. It becomes instinctual. How about -oh, I don’t know- touching a hot stove? You'll do it once, maybe, but that'll be all.  Managing money is, it is very similar to that. There are underlying rules that, if broken, if not paid attention to, can really really mess up our lives and if you haven’t listened to part 1 in this series 1:50 you might want to do that because how do I reveal just exactly how not following rules or in my case not knowing the rules— I didn't realize that there was a fine art to managing money that we all need to know about.  So make sure you either go back and listen to that or a read about it. Whatever. But we're going to pick up today and I want to talk a little bit more about how to look at this. As we proceed and I only know this about you because I know myself.  It's going to be easy to see everything I talk about and we discuss here through the lens of your current financial situation. 2:32 I don't know what that is but mine is much, much different than yours. It's very unique.  You might have some student loans. You might have a couple of past due bills right now. Perhaps you're out of a job. Your situation is huge and it's easy to say there's just nothing that'll fix it now. It's too late. It's not too late. It’s not. Believe me. So what I want you to do. I want us all to mentally do this. I call it clean sweep and I only take that because that was the name of a television show on cable years ago. (I loved it.) 3:13 The premise was that the show would go into the home of someone who is having trouble with the organization, had a big mess, maybe even on the brink of being a hoarder. It was called clean sweep and they would come in and the show would do a clean sweep. Re-organize. At the end of the show everything's perfect. You know they walk in and their new home… oh it was fabulous and I loved the show. But the premise was this. They never attempted to organize clutter. It's impossible. So taking that principle here to our series here on how to manage and take care of money.  3:52 In your mind I want you to just do a clean sweep. Just push everything out of the way. All the debts. Are the challenges. Whatever your situation might be. Even if it's fantastic. If you've got so much money in your savings account you don't think you'll ever ever ever have to worry or learn how to manage money. Get rid of that part too. Let's get just a nice clean canvas as we proceed. OK, ready? Here we go. 4:20 Rule Number One. It's not difficult. Here it is. Spend less than you earn. Five little words.  They become so, so unthinkable in our society and where we are in the world today. Do you know credit has become such a huge part of our lives? I shared with you in part one just how it affected my life. This first rule is so simple. I hope it doesn't prompt you to just blurt out- oh come on Mary everyone knows that. 4:51 Well, I promise you not everybody knows it or at least lives according to that. So the first money rule for life is so logical but so misunderstood that so many people miss it. There's a lot of competition for your mind and your wallet these days and there's a big world out there that would rather you not pay too much attention to this first rule. Spend less than you earn. Let’s talk about that. 5:30 There's many ways that people might refer to this. One of them is live within your means. If you live within your means, what that indicates is that you don't spend more than you earned. So let’s say you earned $1000. If you live within your means, you spend $1000. Ok? Of course you could spend less, but that's your max. You can spend as much as you have. If you spend less than you earn which is our rule. Spend less than you earn. 6:09 It means that you spend LESS than $1000. Now am I splitting hairs? NO.  I'm talking about a principal. The difference between what you spend and what you earn is a gap. OK, is it $1? Maybe it's $100. Maybe it's $500. I don't know, but there's a there's a gap there. Here's the principle. It’s in that gap that you are going to find financial freedom. It’s the money you don't spend that is going to allow you to live the life you love. That's the principle of rule number one. 6:50 So live below your means— is correct. Spend less than you earn. Live within your means means that you can spend it all. All right! The principle is we were looking at that gap. That part that you are not spending. Because… if you're following along in the book you're going to see some simple charts there that I hope will be very revealing. It’s in the a gap that you're going to be able to build an emergency fund. It's in the gap that you're going to learn how to start investing. It is in that gap that you are going to back away from debt. You're going to be able to pay off your debt. You’re going to be able to go forward to live debt free.  7:30 You're going to eventually be able to live in a mortgage free home. See all those things are available if you stop spending all that you have or even worse— spending more than you have by going into debt. All right. So that is rule number one.  Let’s talk about how we do this. Oh my goodness. First thing we have to deal with is: what's the difference between needs and wants? That has become so blurred in our world during the last— oh I’d say— couple of decades. 8:03 but even more so in the last year or so because we're living in an amazing economy in the US. I don't know how long this is going to last, but people are working. Unemployment is almost unheard of thing. People are getting raises. The wages are going up because of supply and demand. When there are fewer people to work employers must pay more to get good employees. So it is just part of life. So, it's easy to think: Oh you know what? Let's move into a bigger home. Let's let's get some new furniture. Things are going so great. We’ll be able to pay it off in a short period of time. 8:42 A great economy doesn’t necessarily mean that we're going to stop spending more than we have. In fact, just the opposite is more likely. So we need to get rid of our ugly attitudes of entitlement. You know, I deal with that a lot when I when I wrote about my book for children: How to Raise Financially Confident Kids. We need kids to get rid of those attitudes of entitlement, but you know what? Adults have them too! Do you know— oh me, I just got an awful old iPhone 8 I need the… What what's the latest one, Julie? 11? 12? 14? 98? Julie: I don't even know cause I have a 6 Mary: Oh dear, I don’t… you know….they do become part of our lives. That’s a subject for another time. 9:26 but…just think of all the things that our lives absolutely do not depend on, that we find the absolute needs not wants. Dealing with needs and wants is not easy. I got to tell you what I did when I was in my really rough time when I was making this journey myself. I want to tell you about a quick little flow chart that I created years and years and years ago when I was in, that you know, dealing with this whole issue of coming out of that dark night of financial distress. There is a copy of it on page 57 of the book if you’re interested. 10:04 You could photocopy it. Write it up yourself. It's just a flow chart. It starts out, do I need it? If I say yes, then I go on to can I afford it? But if I say do I need it, and the answer's “Well, no, not really.” Then it is the end. I just saved myself from making a foolish purchase. These little tricks really, really help you do to do that. I also want to talk about widening the gap. At first, there's many of us who are making tremendous progress if we can end up on the next payday having not spent one dollar, a single dollar, from the previous paycheck. 10:43 That’s a start. That's a tiny, tiny gap. There are so many ways to widen that gap.  So I just want to go over a few of them and these are from my history folks. These are the things that really, really spoke to me. Helped me. I wrote them all down. The first one is borrow and share. Rather than feeling like I had to buy something new. Always have to own that movie. It’s a change of mind for me and I have to tell you that, yes, my watch word was Blockbuster and I know probably don't remember that, but do you know there was a time…? Julie, she shaking her head. Do you remember Blockbuster? We would actually walking to the store look at all the movies.  11:22 Julie: I do remember it and actually that was… my husband was working there when I first met him. Mary:  Really? Julie: Blockbuster is close to my heart. Mary:  Yes, yes. For me, that started mind a mind-altering kind of thing because I realized I didn't have to own things in order to enjoy them.  Something else, this is easy now because a lot of people don't like to go to the mall. But years ago when I was going through this the mall was my place that was my antidepressant. That was my happy place. That was where I could get away and take my kids. I’m sorry. I’m sorry boys. I took you to the mall way too often.  12:04 I had to stop that. I had to see that, that was like a slippery place for an alcoholic. It was, it was my bar! Gosh, that's so hard to say. But it was the absolute truth. Something else that I did was to limit my exposure to advertisements. I had to stop looking at women's magazines. Now, this was a time, yeah,  Internet wasn't that big of a deal. But I could go through a woman's magazine… in a fact, there’s something you maybe not know, Julie. Do you know that I was a contributing editor for Woman’s Day magazine for 10 years? 10 years! (Julie: Wow) 10 years I wrote for them. 12:40 So I kind of know I would see all that.  I would have to stop reading magazines. I couldn't trust myself. It was like I was a spoiled brat. Something else, and this is still true today, much harder than it used to be, I lived with cash. I'm talking about your day-to-day walking around money. What you have in your purse. I had to learn, I could not carry plastic with me. I could not. My drivers license I considered paper, but no, I'm talking about debit, credit, gift cards, all of that. I had to put them away because if I had them too handy, I was mindless with them. 13:19 In future episodes we're gonna talk about living with cash. There’s some great great tips and tricks. I'm gonna teach you. But back to our list here. Spend free days. Oh my goodness! Do you want a wake up call? Do you wanna see into yourself? Do you want to clear your vision? Come out of the fog? Determine, and this is gonna be hard. I know you can do it! We can do it together. Let's all do it. OK. Commitment. All right. We are going to start by naming a get a spend free day. I don't I will let you know, but we’ll think about it and let you know. Julie and I will try this out. 13:56 Here's how it works. You can plan ahead. That's fine. For one- 24 hour period you are not allowed to spend. And that's in any way! You can't pay the mortgage. You cannot pick up milk on the way home from work. Whatever. Can't go online. Can't go to Amazon. Spend-free day. (Julie: Nothing.) Nothing! Can't eat out. Nothing. You can't believe what’ll happen. Another way to do this is to save the difference. This just goes in a lot of different ways. What I'm talking about is if, let’s talk about the grocery store. You're shopping. It's not your spent free day. You have some coupons and you’ve got on that’s for $1. $1 coupon! I love it when there are 3 digits in a coupon. 14:40 So you pick up whatever that item is. You take it to the check out. You get your dollar off. You save the difference. You get it. You just don't let that dollar you saved melt into the atmosphere. Just take it put that one dollar into a secret savings place. It's great great principle. 15:02 Here’s something. Stay healthy. There’s nothing like medical bills to obliterate any gap you might have in your life. How about this one? Cook in. Stop eating out so much. Julie, have you been to McDonald's lately? I went there recently. Julie: it's expensive for a family, for a person. Mary: I almost had a heart attack.  I took my two grandsons. The three of us went for lunch. Two little boys, well sort of, and me. It was, it was like almost $30. I can't believe it. What? Of course, I let my kids pick what they like. I'm telling you I am about… I about… I couldn’t even finish a sentence just like right now… so expensive. Cook in. Oh my goodness. You can't believe the money you'll save. 15:50 Pare down. You know we're overrun with stuff. Just get rid of stuff. Pare down. Number 10. We’re getting to 12 here, so we’re almost there. Don't pay retail. Oh I love that! That’s my watch word when I go grocery shopping and I plan my meals and so on. If it's on sale, yes. It's not on sale, no.  We’ll wait till later. We’ll wait until it does go on sale and then we’ll get two to last till next time. Number 11—unfriend the Joneses. Does this happen to you? You’re having a wonderful day. You drive home and see your neighbors just drove up and parked a brand new SUV. There your car is and it’s a little scratched. Kind of old. Needs new tires. 16:35 That’s just an awful feeling. I hate that. That wanting to let my neighbors, allowing my neighbors to determine my decisions and so on. Just unfriend them. Not really. Not in true life. Don’t tell them! Just stop trying to keep up with them. And number 12— increase your income. Yeah, that'll help with that gap and less you keep spending up to the limit there.  Finding new ways. Get a side hustle. Do something. So many things and by the way if you're not getting my blog post every single day (www.everydaycheapskate.com) You are missing out on so much. We talk about this a lot. 17:16 OK so that's rule number one spend less than you earn. OK Julie, did I stir up any questions? Julie: I do have a couple questions for you because I love how you were talking about the gap. In the gap is where you find the financial freedom. A lot of people think I find the financial freedom when I can spend whatever I want anytime I want. But the gap is that place and so I was thinking of that.  I was thinking about needs versus wants. What could I be content with? Actually when you asked me what version of the phone iPhone I have. A 6 sounds so old, but it works fine.  Mary: You're talking about the phone. Julie: I'm talking so but I'm talking about is… I guess I wondered if you could speak to, a little bit about being content with what you have. Or a time that you, maybe a time from your own story where if you have a specific place and in your mind where you thought, “You know what? I can just go with what I've got.” Mary: OK let's go back to your first one. Let's talk about financial freedom. What is financial freedom? What is that thing that we find in that beautiful place in life where we are spending less than we earn? I think it has…let's take away from money for a moment. 18:36 Let's talk about kids, raising children. As they become teenagers, they get more and more freedoms, right? But as you give your children freedoms, and they earn freedoms because they show a maturity and a discipline that they're able to handle that. Let’s say that it has to do with them being able to stay out later at night with your friends. Which I know is a big deal. (Julie: Right) You would, you would not in 1 million years expect that your child will take that to mean, “Oh good, for two hours of my life I can do anything I want. I can rob banks. I can I can egg cars. I can be a vandal. I can do anything I want because I have freedom to do anything I want. 19:15 It all comes in that want. (Julie: yes) Because if they have been raised properly. If you have instilled in them the values, beliefs. You expose them to God's Word. And they have embraced those, those things in their lives that you've taught them. Their wants are going to change. They’re not going to want to do that, because all of a sudden freedom now gives them not no boundaries, but allows them to live out the boundaries and rules and the values that they have learned.  19:53 It’s the same thing with money. I'm promising you that when you have that gap. When you have, let's say $10,000 cash in the bank in your emergency fund, that doesn't mean that you live like an idiot. No! You drive more carefully. I promise you you will. (Julie: Right) because you don't want to have to take any of that $10,000 to pay for a deductible on a car wreck that was your fault.  20:18  You are not going to let the paint job on your house get to the point where it's gonna cost you twice as much because it has deteriorated. You'll become so much better at maintenance. You will become so much more frugal when it comes to replacing things. Say you need a new sofa. You've got a nice gap. You have no debt. The last thing in the world is that you want to go into debt and so you see things through new eyes. You see things through eyes of financial freedom that you have. You have the freedom and I'll tell you there is bondage to be in debt. 20:56 because when you need that new sofa and your only choice is to use the available credit on one credit card and you've only got $600. Well, yeah, you shop well. But not for the reason we would've thought. So financial freedom doesn’t mean I have so much money I can have everything in the whole world. It's I have enough money to have those things that I need and some things that I want and you wants change. To me that is contentment. It’s knowing that I have options. I have choices. Does that help?  Julie: That does help, and then I wondered also if you could speak to the fact that maybe listeners are thinking: You know what? This is all great, but in this day and age I do have three kids. They all need a phone. They all do this. They all are in sports, are all eating, and there is just- the family budget is just has so many more expenses than my parents day. It seems like there's no way that I could possibly spend less than I earn, because of all the pressure on a family budget now that wasn't on a family budget 30 years ago. I don't know if that's really true but I've heard my friends say that exact thing. 22:12 Mary: Well, I understand that. I also have to say that we need to rethink. We need to rethink. I have worked with families who have been in such dire situations that they didn't have the options that you speak of. Now, it might sound like a phone for everybody in the whole house is absolutely mandatory. I promise you that it's not. It's not. It might seem wise and for some people, they might choose to make it mandatory. But it's not. One family I'm thinking of right now with three teenagers. They had one phone between the three of them.   22:51 And the parents would decide on a certain day who needed it the most. Then they taught and what do you do if you don't have a phone. Julie, there was a time none of us had phones. Julie: We had a dime or quarter. Mary: Children are fine. You grew up fine. OK. Yes, there were phone booths, but I think that friends have taken the place of phone booths. If you’re in a dire situation, you can always find someone who can make that call for you or allow you to use their phone to make it. That’s another subject for another day. What I’m saying is that we have to really rethink what is absolutely necessary. I know some families who think their kids having a meal card at elementary school is actually mandatory. No, it is not. Children can still take lunch to school. Really, that’s what Everyday Cheapskate, my blog, my daily email is all about. Helping people to find all these ways to be able to reduce the expenses in order to widen the gap. I even wrote a post on how to widen the gap: bake bread. Yes, little things like that. 24:00  So I would say to your question that, yes, we have many expenses perhaps. Every teenager in the home doesn’t have to have their own car and we need to rethink a lot of things. Especially during the period of time are you getting out of debt, because I'm telling your credit card debt that interest-rate is chewing up peoples gap like you can't believe it. Getting rid of that it's going to really, really help. Julie: Thanks Mary, I appreciate that. Mary: Thank you for joining me on today's episode and I hope that you'll join me for the next one.

Please take our very short survey! http://survey.libsyn.com/debtproofliving This episode was recorded in February 2020 prior to the widespread economic effects resulting from COVID-19 stay-at-home regulations. 0:15 Welcome to Debt-Proof Living with Mary Hunt. It's all about life money and how to live well and thrive below your means. Today on Debt-Proof Living with Mary Hunt we begin a very special series based on one of Mary's best selling books, 7 Money Rules for Life: How to Take Control of Your Financial Future and in today's episode the cost of financial ignorance. 0:44 Mary: Hi everyone I'm Mary I'm so happy you're here with me today for this episode. I've got a question for you. You ready? If you had to pass a test to prove you could handle money before you could get your next paycheck, you know the way that you have to pass a test to prove you can drive a car, would you get paid? 1:03 The sad truth is that millions of us wouldn’t. When it comes to managing money Americans young and old are flunking out. They don't have a clue. I know that I was in that position years and years ago and I'm gonna tell you a little bit about that before we do that I just want to kind of give an overview of where we are right now. 1:31 The economy seems like it's just fabulous people are working hardly anybody is without a job. Homes are appreciating like crazy. Wages are going up. It costs me less to fill up my car with gas than it did a couple of years ago. It all looks so rosy. But oh my goodness, the other side of the coin is what's happening to individuals. Now, I'm not talking about our national economy so much as I am a personal economies  2:02 After all I don't know about you— there’s nothing I can do about the national debt. I can wail. I can whine. I can vote…but there's nothing I can do to pay back trillions of dollars in our national economy and you can't either. But you know what, we do have control of our personal economies and that’s, that's what we want to start talking about. 2:31 It’s staggering and I'm not gonna hit you up with a lot of statistics right now although I could. Only yesterday, yesterday I was reading the Wall Street Journal where they reported… this is blows me away… that credit card debt outstanding in this country has risen by more than $46 billion in just the last quarter somethings wrong here people. This is something really awful.  It is now exceeds it it's almost $1 trillion that we owe in credit card debt outstanding well I shouldn't say we because yes I”m going to tell you the end of the story- I’m debt free. I have no 3:12 credit card debt any more but I want to help you in that area as well so let's get back to this whole matter of what's going on in our country. It's unbelievable with more jobs with people working more wage is going up it seems like our credit card debt should be going down right because most people should be paying it off every month. But that's not happening! and if you look at my mailbox you will see that people are in trouble now more than ever. Statistically 77% of Americans are now living paycheck-to-paycheck without any emergency fund, without any savings. 3:50 They have absolutely nothing to fall back on should the least little thing go wrong! So, what happens with the refrigerator goes out or the car needs tires or breaks? Pull out the credit card! Isn’t that the way we’re living? It's very scary and then if we talk about student loans oh my goodness. It is heartbreaking! Students. Parents who have a prepared feel like the only way that they can handle this momentous situation and season of their children's lives is for all of them—parents and students to take out these massive student loans. (I’m telling you something - its not right 4:30  It’s not good. This is going to sink Americans one-by-one unless we wake up. Let's go back to that question. What grade would you give yourself if I gave you a test on personal finance? Well don't worry. There's no test going on because I of all people have no right in order to do that. I would not judge you in that way at all. What I want to offer you is help. I want to share with you what I have learned over the years. It's been quite a few years now and I do have some experience. Not only 5:12 with my own life my husband and my situation. I have, I, I am humbled to say that I've been able to lead thousands of people out of debt into a lifestyle where they are spending less than they earn. They are saving for the future. They're not going into debt needlessly. They have homes. They are living what we call a debt-proof life. That's where you're paying as you go and you’re scaling your lifestyle to meet the amount of money that you earn. One last thing I  think I want to say before I want to tell you my story 5:55 I want to tell you right now that I think, I know for certain, I know that you are a millionaire. Don’t believe me? All right. All right. Let me prove it to you. As of today, as we speak, statistically, and this is all kept somewhere. The federal government does all this. The median US household income is $63,179. That's everything combined that comes into your home. You may make more than that. You might make less. Median means that half of Americans make more, half make less. 6:35 So let's just take that average, that small amount. It sounds small, doesn't it? Some people would say that's poverty levels for some households in a bigger cities areas where is expensive to live. Now I want to take that amount $63,179 and multiply it by 45. That is the number of years that you are expected to work. That's the American way. Before that you're ready to retire, you put in 45 years of employment. Now of course you're going to get raises over the years. You’re going to make job changes and all, but let's just say that you stick right to 63 179 your entire working  7:17 career should be multiply it? $63,179×45 is ready? $2,843,055. You are a millionaire! You say that and you are getting your millions one paycheck at a time. How are you doing with it?How are you managing that money? That's what we're going to talk about in this series. I can't wait to share with you what I've learned when I've helped other people to learn and the successes that have happened by learning 7:57 something simple called the Seven Money Rules for Life. Today I want to tell you a little bit about my story. My pulse raced as I sign my name. What is the sales clerk called the bank to see if I had the money in the account? Or worse, what if she called the police? I was about to attempt to pass a hot check. Something I had never done before and I was sweating bullets! Just days before, I arrived in Southern California and moved into the college dormitory which will become my home for the next four years. The student handbook was filled with rules and helpful hints for student life including 8:39 information on how to open a student checking account and a local bank. So, I did. I'm a rule follower. Fitting in and getting up to speed social he was a top priority for me. So when my roommate invited me to go to the mall I jumped at the chance! Honestly, I've never seen such an amazing place. I have no idea what I bought that day. It was all but spur the moment. The other girls were shopping and I wanted to be cool and independent like them. Making my own decisions and getting to decide what I liked was new for me and, boy, did it feel good! I experienced a few moments of anxiety as I traced in my mind what I was about to do. 9:20 I knew that I didn't have enough money in the bank to buy anything. The good girl in me was cautiously reluctant. But the naughty girl? She said just go ahead—go for it! Nothings going to happen that’s bad. Besides, you deserve what you want. So I wrote a check knowing I didn't have the money in my account. That was back— well, years ago before the days of electronic checks, high-speed computers and instantaneous transactions. I knew that I was about to get a paycheck for my new campus job and with any luck I get it into the bank before this when I was writing was going to clear. That was my plan - all would be well. 10:00 This powerful event in some sick, twisted way fulfilled the promise I made to myself at the ripe age of 11. I said when I grow up I'm going to be rich! The second of four children, I grew up in a sheltered environment. Looking back now I can see that we were as frugal family as you could get it at the time. I didn't see it that way. My childhood perception was that we were dirt poor and poverty stricken. My mother didn't work. My father was a pastor and I had to wear clothes from the thrift store. It was embarrassing. I hated my life, and dreamed about the day when I would grow up and get to make my own decisions 10:44  and have things other people had. The Sears catalog was my planning tool. I’d secretly shop and make lists of all the beautiful linens and furniture and household items that I would buy and furnish for my dream home. I found my future family and their respective sections of the catalog and outfitted them all. Oh, they wore the most beautiful clothes. I bought my children toys. My husband had a riding lawnmower. I even bought a white picket fence! I lived in a fantasy world. Creating a life I would have one day when I was old enough to leave home.  Now seven years later and far from home in a big beautiful department store with a checkbook in hand, I  11:24 felt as if I had arrived. I could buy anything I wanted. I felt rich and it felt fantastic! My experience that day was a defining moment that would change the course of my life. Simply knowing that as long as I could get away with it I could have it I want it even if I didn't have enough money to pay for it. That changed me in ways that could all but ruin my life. We’re not talking about credit cards here. I managed to squeeze that kind a promise from a checking account! It's not like I had experience with deceit or breaking rules. In fact, I had always been a compliant, obedient child and certainly never one to 12:07 flirt with dishonesty or anything else that might be considered sinful. In all of my strict upbringing, which mostly centered on what not to do, I didn't learn a thing about managing money. Reconciling a checking account was completely foreign to me. APY? A budget? Not a clue. To this day I don't know if my parents assumed I would learn money management skills or some kind of a financial osmosis. They may have thought that one semester of high school bookkeeping would set me on the right fiscal path. Maybe they figured I do it most women didn't those days and marry and man who would take care of all the money details for me. 12:50 Most likely it didn't cross their minds to teach me how to handle the currency of life. It was simply not a topic that anyone talked about. I did graduate from college and managed to stay out of jail in the process. Unfortunately my financial shenanigans didn't start with the first hot chick that day at the mall.  I came to enjoy the option of being able to spend my money before I had it in my possession. I discovered it having more than one checking account allowed me to do that more efficiently, because I could buy more time. Honestly, I didn't know that having checking accounts in several different banks in order to pass checks between them to give them time to cover checks I’d written (a practice known as  13:35 check kiting) I had no idea that was illegal. I thought I discovered a very clever way to manage all the money I didn't have. I don't claim to get a master of manipulation. I was pretty good at it. Now and then I’d mess up and I get those nasty phone calls from the bank or on occasion a merchant letting me know that my check it bounced. I hated it when that happened. Shortly after my 22nd birthday, I made a big life decision I knew would fix my money problems and move me closer to my goal of being rich. I got married. I don’t mean that I just got married… 14:17 I got married to a banker! I was madly in love of course, but it didn't hurt one bit to know that I was marrying well. It was shocking to me to learn after we've been married for a few months, that as a management trainee Harold did not make the insane amount of money I'd always associated with the banking profession. It took even less time for that banker to discover that his new wife had, well, shall we say, a little problem spending. To say that I was a prime target for the consumer credit industry is putting it mildly. In my heart I knew that a checking account was never meant to be a financing tool. 14:59 It took a lot of effort to make that work. But a credit card! Now that was completely different! And exactly the instrument I needed to kick up my buy now pay later financial habit even a few more notches. Companies were falling all over themselves to give me credit cards because of course they discovered that I was so credit worthy. This was before the law was amended to make it illegal for companies to send out the credit cards unsolicited. Even better they trusted me with a lot of money! I mean credit- which elevated my opinion of myself. After all, if they thought I could handle thousands of dollars of available credit 15:43 apparently I could. And wasn't that a pleasant surprise! I begin collecting credit cards away some people collect baseball cards. It was fascinating to see just how many I could get. I didn't intend to use them but I love the sense of security I had just knowing they were safe in my wallet. It didn't take long however for me to find plenty of reasons to use them. After all I had emergencies! Since the reason for having the cards in the first place was  should be prepared in case of emergency. I found it perfectly reasonable to use them in that way. my way of living with simple: spend money until you run out, and then spend credit. 16:26 or the rest or use the credit to preserve your money I would often default to the if-it-feels-good-do-it method which is closely related to if-it’s-on-sale-it’s-a-sign-that-God-wants-me-to-buy-it. The arrivals of our two sons Jeremy and Joshua give me new reasons to need more money. That meant chasing ever increasing amounts of credit. What began as monthly balances that we could pay in full turned into only the minimum payments required each month. The debt grew little by little at first. It didn't seem like a big deal because the monthly payments seemed affordable. It took no time at all for the line between 17:08 Harold's income and our available credit to blur to the point that I lived as well the credit was the same as income. Just one big pile of money which to make the best life possible for my family. When the pile would evaporate I’d find more credit. I learned quickly the various store’s and bank’s credit card rules. Use them often. Pay the minimum monthly payment. View credit limits as if they are gold stars on your character and personal worth. If you need us to increase your credit- just call. Being a good consumer and playing by retailers rules was like  17:49 getting regular raises. While I didn't dwell on it, somewhere in the back of my mind I knew that the debt I was amassing would have to be repaid someday in another time and place far far away. I believed that it would all work out just like magic.  When we been married for about 12 years I begged Harold to quit the bank so that he could start his own business and we could become rich entrepreneurs. I knew that his banker salary would never cut it. Finally he did leave his job because he wanted to make me happy and we became the newest independent distributors with a group that promised us that we would become rich. 18:30 We committed the two fatal errors of self-employment. We got into a business we knew nothing about and we did it with borrowed funds. Within four months my dream turned into our collective nightmare as we lost our business and walked away with nothing but more debt. I didn't intend to ruin my life but gradually over time I came this close to doing it. I made a horrible mess! One that put our home in a threat of foreclosure and left us unemployed. In the fall of 1982 my world came crashing down. I had no idea how much debt we had, but I knew it was a lot.  19:14 There were even accounts and debts that Harold didn't know about.  That day I found myself flat on the floor on my face. I've never felt so alone and so afraid in my life. I had no more options no where to turn and no idea what to do. I was completely out of hope. That day was my turning point. Lying there on the floor I knew that my only option was to look up and that's what I had an amazing encounter with the God of the universe for the first time I saw the ugliness of my greed and what it had done to my life. 19:53 It was more than I could bear. I wept and remorse for what I had done. It wasn't my rotten luck, my husbands under paying career or any of the things I blame that landed me in this pathetic place. It was me. I'd been demanding, self-serving, manipulative and deceitful. I was in the worst jam imaginable and I had taken my family with me. I had no idea what to do except a call out to God and ask him to forgive me. I asked for another chance in an opportunity to pay back the debt and to change my ways. as I got up off the floor that day the fog 20:35 didn’t lift to reveal a pile of money that we just fix everything. But I knew I'd been forgiven and in that promise I found new hope that my life could be better. You might assume that I with my newly found determination to become money-wise together with my husband and his banking and finance background would know exactly how to take charge of our personal finances. But you'd be wrong! Honestly, we didn't have a clue what to do! Within a few weeks though what I can say now is an amazing set of circumstances, I went to work as a part-time industrial property manager. Odd because I didn’t seek that job. It came looking for me. 21:17  A gentleman whom I met years before sought me out offering me a job on terms that I could choose. I could choose to work in his family’s real estate development company. For the next two years Harold and I reversed rolls as I became the breadwinner and he a stay at home dad. As I began receiving regular paychecks, I realized how ignorant I was about what to do with money. Admitting that I didn't know it all was something refreshing. My heart had become tenderized and that diluted my arrogance and pride making me willing to be eager to learn. Compared to our bills and outstanding debts a single paycheck was like a rain drop in the ocean. I mean what’s $400 when you’re staring at  21:59 one month stack of past due bills that added up to more than $4000! It was beyond overwhelming. Normally my approach for how to spend such a small amount compared to the amount we need to get current would have been something like this: well, since we don't have enough to pay all the bills let’s buy groceries and then take the kids to Disneyland. I just had a transformational experience. Even though I didn't know what to do with our personal finances I knew that what I had been doing wasn't working. There had to be a change and it needed to start now. That's when I sat down and made a list. Little did I know that those first few written documents for how we would appropriate any amount of money 22:41 that came into our household that they would develop into the seven rules. Over the years as Harold and I walked through the dark night of debt and into the bright light of solvency, and then onto founding Debt-Proof Living I've reworked, refined, expanded and consolidated the rules to the seven I'm going to share with you in the series. Since making that U-turn on the road to financial devastation more than a few people have expressed their shock by asking me: How could you let that happen? My answer is simple at several defining moments in my life 23:23 like a day I stood in that department store with my new checkbook in hand. Like a day I excepted a credit card without telling my husband. The day I filled out the form to get my own secret post office box where I could receive statements for my secret credit cards to name a few. At those times I face critical decision points and each time I made the wrong choice. I have no doubt that at the time I made them I could've convincingly defended those choices. But that would have not made them the right decisions. Absent a simple set of rules to follow for how to manage money well, I had no foundation on which to stand. No fundamentals to turn to. 24:05 I learned a lot from my journey back from the brink. I didn't become an heiress or win the lottery. I worked harder than I've ever worked in my life. The process shaped my attitude and my beliefs. As God provided the opportunities we paid back your ready we paid back more than $100,000 in unsecured debt. Now I find the greatest joy in my life's work of leading others out of debt. Through it all the most important thing I've learned is this. Money management is not difficult, person finance is not brain surgery. 24:47 Anyone can learn to apply a simple set of reliably sound rules to manage money and discover the path to financial freedom. While I have determined that I will not live with regret; I do wonder how things might've turned out if someone had taught me simple principles for making financial decisions. I believe that I would have saved years of heartache and untold amounts of money to say nothing of lost opportunities. At those pivotal defining moments I would've made a different decision because a specific rule would have been my guide. I would've known almost instinctively what to do. Not come up with some wild 25:24 manipulative response to the absence of a specific guiding principle on which to rely. I am so grateful for how God has taken the broken pieces of my life and woven them into a tapestry of beauty that reflects his grace and mercy. It is a daily testament to the way that God can take even the worst mistakes and turn them into something of value. If your current financial situation has you all tied up in knots and stressed out of your mind, I want you to get ready for some relief. Things are not likely to change overnight but perhaps for the first time you will know what to do to get the change started. 26:05 Wouldn’t it be nice to find out that they're simple rules of the road that can cut through all of the confusion? the mystery and the misery? and enable us to get our financial life on track? I have great news— there are! As I was preparing the proposal to write the book 7 Money Rules for Life I had this idea these rules have to be winnowed down. They have to be edited. They have to be so easy. So simple that even a fifth grader could recite them. But I took it one step further, I thought you know what - I wonder, could I get these rules 26:47 so small, so simple that I could write all seven of them on the back of one business card? Guess what? Yes! That's how they are. They are so simple. I’m gonna teach you how to do this. I am so excited and we're going to get started with the next episode so don't miss. Listen every time and I would love to hear from you. Julie: You know, Mary as I was listening to you tell your story questions came up in my mind that I'm just curious about and I bet our listeners are wondering about as well. So can I ask you a couple questions? OK this will be fun.  27:28  The first one was especially about your journey back and what was the hardest lie? or the hardest thought? the thing in your mind that you thought the most is you were paying off your debt? Mary: Surprisingly, I've got to tell you that the journey back was joyful. joyful! It was it was so wonderful each time that I would send money to a creditor it was just the happiest moment of my life. I was so confident that God was going to 28:12 take care of us and that he was honoring the decision I had made made to trust him and that he would take care of this as long as I was faithful to him. Which is something we're gonna talk about more in the in the in the seven rules. But I guess if I had any fears it was that I wouldn't be able to continue to work. Because I was making money and that was contributing to the household at all but I look back now and God had that all taken care of. I didn't have to worry. But honestly you know people think that paying back the debt must've been so torturous 28:53 but it wasn't because I knew I'd been forgiven. I knew that a greater power than myself is going to take care of this. I just needed to take the steps. I need to keep working. I needed to keep going. And it was it was joyful. Oh my goodness! I could probably write a book just about all of the miraculous wonderful things that happened and I think that is a principle we all can learn: do the next thing do the right thing, just keep going. Julie: What are some of the things that your readers I have asked you or told you about lies that…in their head…like they just can’t get started? 29:34 The same kind of lies that I told myself that kept me in such a deep, deep horrible debt mess for so long. The first one is I'm just not good with money. Passing it off. Someone else will take care of me. Credit cards have a reason in our life and we should use them and if I need them I'm going to use them or another one is this is a big one for me. I am embarrassed to say this but it's actually honestly true. I blamed. I blamed everything. I blamed my parents because number one I was born into poverty which I really wasn't but I thought it was. 30:15 My parents didn't pay for me to go to college. I had to work. Boo-hoo. Poor me. My parents didn't leave me an inheritance… that really bugged me. That bothered me and every time I had a friend or hurt someone or my grandfather left me $100,000 I was just going to spend some more just to get back at the whole situation….I didn't marry a rich man and I didn't do all of those things that I always thought would be my… you know, that would be how I would become wealthy I guess. I suppose I should've put it into words it sounds so silly now, but I just had all those thoughts. 30:57 Those kind of lies we tell ourselves… I have people write to me: I'm so overwhelmed, I’m just paralyzed. Well, I do understand that feeling. I think that it would've been nearly impossible for me to imagine that I would have someday gotten out of debt. I wish I would've known then. I think that I would've had an easier time, but I'm grateful for the misery. I am very grateful for the misery because that is what finally brought me to my knees. So if it took that so be it because solvency, financial freedom is so blessed and so beautiful. 31:38 it's so wonderful and I want that for everybody who's listening to me now  Julie: This question is kind of a follow up- how do you think that money impacts our relationships and how is it for you? Mary: I tell you what that that's one of the worst things about debt is the way that it ruins relationships. the first one is is trust-trust- the way that we handle money tells other people how much they can trust us. My husband stop trusting me. Trust is a very, very precious commodity in any relationship. 32:15 Whether its with your children with your parents with friends with a spouse. Once that you have broken that trust it has to be earned back. That's very very difficult and I believe the reason that so many marriages break up over financial issues they say. Statistics bear that out. I think with the deeper issues trust, My husband should've never trusted me again—ever. But he does and I'm so grateful that that has been restored because I didn't deserve that. I did not deserve that. I did terrible, horrible things that he should've never, ever trusted me again. He loves me and he trusts me. 32:56 Julie: and he’s been here for a good many years. Mary:  Yes, our marriage did last. You know I have to make sure I let people know that when I tell my story because it sounds like it would've ended up in in in divorce. Here's the funny thing if he was here right now he would tell you that it never crossed his mind. I had made that all up in my head. I was so worried he would leave me and take the kids with him if he found out that I just kept digging the hole deeper and deeper deeper to try and make sure he never ever found out. Which is so dumb. I mean I look back now and how could I be so ignorant, but that’s over and yes I’m so grateful. We've been married for a long long time 33:49 Julie:  it's funny how one lie builds on another in our minds and then we just make up these more lies that we live by, by not facing the truth. Mary: I think a lot of times that they're built on myths. Built on things we believe that aren't true. I'm a real big believer now in communication. Julie:  All right, I have one more question because you had mentioned that there were several story you mentioned that there were several defining moments that were critical decision points on the way down that led you to the dark times. But then after your conversion, when you're on your journey back— where there defining moments that you can point to that kept you going? 34:39 Mary: Yes, oh yes. I can tell you it was exactly 10 days from when I was flat on my face on that floor and when I asked God to forgive me and promise I would do anything to come back to pay off the debt. Honestly, in my mind I thought I would be a good wife. My husband would go back to work. He’d find a great job and I would become a great money manager, well that wasn't to be at all. I got that phone call. Exactly 10 days… Harold and I were not even speaking to each other still. 35:06 Mary: and I got offered this job to come to work as a property— industrial commercial property manager is there anything more outlandish? I've never even heard of industrial commercial? what is the property manager? and that was a defining moment. I said may I call you back I went and told my husband the call I had gotten. And we started to talk just about that and had I said no to that offer, well I don't know what would've happened because that was absolutely a defining moment because that developed into an entire career in industrial commercial real estate in the city of Los Angeles…you’ve heard of that place right?  35:57 Julie: right.  Mary: A great industrial center. I'll just tip my hand a little bit here. I went on to become the very first woman ever asked to serve on the Board of Directors of the American Industrial Real Estate Association of Los Angeles -  wow  - only God could've done that. So that was a defining moment another defining moment was was when I… oh my goodness…10 years now after that moment on the floor, decided that I would do something crazy. 36:30 Well, this was a defining moment, because who would have ever thought of this? I would start writing a newsletter that I could share some of what I learned about managing money with other people. That was a defining moment. Which that led to the cheapskate monthly on to Debt-Proof Living and so on. I guess I could talk for a couple more hours about defining moments. Do you want to wait? Or we can do this later. Julie: Well, I hope we hear more defining moments as we go through these 7 rules. Is there anything else? Mary: I’m sure we will… I just want to encourage everyone to join us for the next episode and do this: share this podcast with your friends. It's not all about debt. It’s about managing money. It’s fun. It’s about all the things we can do to do better in our lives. It’s a way we can become friends. I want to hear from you. I want to build relationship. I know some of you have been with me for many many years. I'm so excited to get to talk to you finally. So yeah, I would love it if you would share the podcast in anyway that you can. that will ensure that would be able to  continue to do this. Great being with you today!
