- 179 - 10 Things We Wish We Knew When We Were 21
As life unfolds and we experience new and unique things, our perspectives change. In many ways, we become wiser over time as we gain the benefit of hindsight, relationships, experience, and new skills. Most of us look back on our earlier years and wish we knew then what we know now. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton shares ten things we wish we knew when we were 21. This idea stemmed from a conversation Travis recently had with his friend Emma, who is 21. Emma gave us this idea and we had a lot of fun making this content. Emma, let's just say you're miles ahead of where Travis and Cole were when they were 21. You're awesome and we hope you enjoy the journey!

15 min - 178 - Are Your Plans Firm or Flexible?
We're commonly taught to dream out our specific goals, then work, work, work to achieve them. This isn't inherently bad, but it can also lead us down the road of being inflexible. What if something changes and those original goals aren't the best path forward? When we lock in so hard on something, it can be difficult to deviate from that plan. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses the idea of holding our goals firmly vs. being willing to be flexible. We believe our best accomplishments happen when we're willing to shift.

13 min - 177 - The Blurry Line Between Needs And Wants
We as a culture tend to draw a hard line between needs and wants. If it's a need, we should buy it. If it's a want, we shouldn't. We make it black and white and we try to demonize want spending. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains why he believes this narrative can be toxic in our financial lives. Needs are ok, but it's also not always so black and white. When we are self-aware and honest with ourselves, we make better decisions and feel less guilt/regret.

14 min - 175 - How to (Not) Stop Falling for Social Media Ads
Do you scroll past ad after ad after ad while scrolling through social media? More importantly, do you ever see something and think to yourself, "wow, that's really cool! I should buy it!"? Me, too! This was a recent debate in our office, where Cole asked if we could do an episode about how to stop buying from social media ads. In a twist, this episode is about why we shouldn't stop buying from social media ads. After all, it's not about spending less.....it's about spending better. And sometimes "better" means buying products from social media ads that add a ton of value to our life.

14 min - 174 - High-Yield Savings Accounts Aren't Your Savior
People in the personal financial space are obsessed with high-yield savings accounts. First, there's nothing wrong with them. We've been using them for nearly two decades and there's a place for them in our financial lives. But the current narrative around them has a few danger zones we need to be mindful of. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton attempts to fill in the gaps not being discussed around these types of accounts. Yes, let's use these accounts for our benefit.....but let's not treat them as the be-all-end-all.

18 min - 171 - Doing the Right Thing For the Right Reasons
As a culture, we're taught to make whatever decision is best for us. The most profitable decision, the most comfortable decision, or the most promising decision. On the surface, this sounds practical and appropriate. However, it can easily lead us down a road where our decisions are at the expense of doing the right thing, honoring others, and being ethical/moral. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses the importance of doing the right things for the right reasons. It may not always pay off in the short run, but it will most certainly pay off in the long run. It's worth it!

16 min - 170 - Mistakes vs. Haunting Mistakes
We all make mistakes....it's inevitable. We've made them in the past and we'll surely make them in the future. But all mistakes are not created equal. Some mistakes hurt us for an instant, then we move on. Other types of mistakes will haunt us for months or years to come. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses this through the lens of our finances and why it's so important to eliminate haunting mistakes. When we can shed ourselves of the ongoing impact of haunting mistakes, it can free us up to live that life of meaning. Enjoy!
