I’m so excited to have back on the show our resident investing guru Michele Schneider. She’s sharing 9 investing megatrends that you need to know for 2020 and a whole lot of investing info to help you know where to put your money next year.

You might remember Michele who wrote the book Plant your Money Tree and was on an earlier episode this year. I’m so in love with her book – I keep it as one of my staples on my nightstand and come back to when I need a good investing refresher. What I love about Michele and her advice is that she talks to us like we’re human and really explains the complex terms.

Have you ever had those moments when you know you’ve got some extra cash in your bank account and then you aimlessly spend it all while thinking, "I know there was some good reason I was saving this money?"

This episode reboot is all about creating a plan to upgrade areas of your life where you spend the most amount of time because, without a plan, that extra cash will likely be spent on stuff you don't really need.

I’m curious, how you feel about networking? For most of us, the idea of networking can be fear-inducing. The good news is you now have permission to throw out the old-school networking rules. As our guest, Charles Ruffolo The NetworKing says, the key to networking your way to success isn’t really about you, it’s about what you can give.

If you've never taken a look at a credit union, now is the time. Credit unions are a cooperative banking system meaning they exist literally to give back to their members. Get this, there are over 9,000 credit unions in the U.S. One of the things that makes me so excited is that credit unions are non-profits. They pass profits back to members in terms of lower fees and better rates. 

You may remember Tamar Atamian, VP of Marketing and Advertising from Wescom Credit Union, from an episode in October, and we are back for part 2 to help you fall in love with credit unions and uncover why credit unions might just be better than banks.

I've got a question for you. What would it feel like to be debt-free, to start over from a blank page, to not have that stress and worry hanging over you? I would imagine pretty good – but becoming debt-free takes time, some tips and tricks and as Michael Bovee says, it’s all about getting to know ourselves.

Michael is a debt expert and co-founder of Resolve a company that helps people in financial distress navigate their way to financial health. In this chat, Michael shares ways to pay down debt, the nitty-gritty about debt settlement and the ins and outs of filing for bankruptcy. My rule is there is no room for judgment when it comes to debt – life happens, things happen, let this episode be a tool you can use if you or anyone you know find themselves making debt payoff a top resolution for 2020.

I’m normally not a big fan of separating women from men when it comes to money, however, I am a strong supporter of creating a new language around investing for women. Why, because, as our guest, Amanda Holden, aka the Dumpster Doggy says, "there’s a lot of femme shaming when it comes to money, how we’re spending and investing it and well, we just don’t process information the same way, but that’s a good thing."

So let’s drop the bs and get some solid investing advice from someone who is committed to changing the way women invest.

We all have a money story. A way in which we grew up thinking about money, either consciously or unconsciously and our money story has power over the choices we make and don’t make with our money.

Our podcast guest, Dr. Daniel Crosby, a psychologist, and a behavioral finance expert says that behavioral changes around money are tough because we all think our money story is normal because that’s all we know. So then the real question is, how do we create real change with our money?

Six letters – BUDGET – probably one of the most despised combinations of letters in the English language, but that’s because you’re thinking about it all wrong. A budget isn’t a set in stone document that is some formal decree telling what you can and can’t spend your money on. In fact, in this reboot episode, you'll learn how to create a budget, and why I'm giving you permission to throw out your budget with a few simple caveats.
