- 092 - Adjusting For Inflation
Inflation. It's a word everyone has been talking about. We can't go anywhere without someone dropping the term or throwing out some opinion. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains what inflation is, discusses how it impacts each of us (probably more than we realize), and provides some simple steps to combat it in our own lives. Inflation is real, and it's hurting a lot of people right now. Hopefully this episode gives you some tools to navigate it in one piece and with far less stress.

20 min - 091 - Sometimes We Fail
As much as we'd like to think we can always keep kicking butt and moving forward, sometimes we fail. There's really no way to sugarcoat it. It's not all roses and sunshine, regardless of what people on IG try to tell us. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton gets real about a multi-week stretch that felt like a whole lot of losing. He discusses his experience, the feelings behind it, and how he tries to rectify things when he lets people down. For some of you, this may hit a little too close to home. In any event, we hope it adds value!

14 min - 090 - Putting the Recent Stock Market Tumble into Context
As we predicted all the way back in Episode 13 (linked below), people are freaking out over the stock market falling 10%+ just 24 days into the new year. Yeah, it can be scary.....but it shouldn't be. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses how the recent stock market slide compares to past events and puts it into a bigger perspective. In short, this is nothing new and it should be expected. We try to zoom out to show you why this isn't nearly as scary as it seems, and why patience/discipline is warranted here. If you're invested right, this is a nothing burger. If your investment strategy is still buying and selling individual stocks, you should be absolutely terrified.....but you still have a chance to get on the other side of this thing before the real crushing begins.

15 min - 089 - "I Got Out of Debt....Again. How Do I Stay Out?"
As host Travis Shelton always says, getting out of debt is the easy part. The hard part is staying out. We get this question a lot. One of our listeners has made tough decisions, acted intentionally, and made the necessary sacrifices in order to pay off the debt. Huge win!!! But life continues, things happen, and we and we can quickly find ourselves right back where we started. In today's episode, we discuss why this happens and how we can structure our life in a way for it to NEVER happen again. It's not easy, but it's most certainly doable. A few simple tweaks and this journey gets a whole lot easier.

16 min - 087 - Personal Spending: Saving One Marriage at a Time
There's an irony about money and relationships. The big, scary, needle-moving decisions typically don't cause as much relational tension as the small day-to-day purchases. It can wreak havoc on marriages, regardless of whether you have a low income or a high income. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton walks through a small but powerful life/money hack that can relieve so much friction in relationships.....and is honestly pretty fun: each spouse having their own dedicated spending each month. We talk about the why, the how, the where, and everything in between. If you implement some of these ideas in your relationship, we are confident good will come from it!

20 min - 086 - When Your Job is Literally Killing You
A lot of us hate our job. We dread it, it causes stress, and we're in an overall bad mood before, during, and after. For others, it's literally killing you. Migraines, back pain, hair loss, constant sickness, insomnia.....some of us are battling some crazy physical ailments not realizing they may be job-related. When we talk about how 70% of Americans dislike or hate their job, we don't use the word "hate" lightly. For some of us, our work is literally killing us. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses this phenomenon and reveals even he can relate from personal experience. This is no joking matter, so let's get it out in the open!

16 min - 085 - When Paying Off Debt Becomes an Idol
Sometimes good things can become bad. Paying off debt is one of those things. There has become an entire movement based around the pursuit of becoming debt-free. We're all for it, but there's a toxic underside to this at times. For some, the journey to pay off debt can become an idol that blocks out all the other good things in life. Faith, relationships, meaningful work, serving, generosity, fun. These are all good things, important things. But for some, paying off debt becomes the sole focus in life....to the point where something that should be a positive becomes a negative. Then once the debt is gone, these same behaviors and practices manifest in a new toxic way. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discuss this risk and how to navigate it in your own journey. Yes, let's get out of debt! But let's do it in a healthy way that will allow you to be a whole person on the other side of the debt.

21 min - 084 - Investing: Fees, the Secret Thief
Whether we know it or not, we pay fees when we invest. Sometimes these fees are obvious, but usually they are somewhat behind the scenes. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses the importance of minding fees and how detrimental they can be to your long-term investing performance. This one nuance can literally equate to $1M+ for a young adult who is early in their investing career. It's hard to put a dollar amount value on a lot of our content, but this one is clear. This one decision, which takes less than 10 minutes, is critical to one's investing journey.

15 min - 083 - Investing: When "Good" is Bad and "Bad" is Good
When it comes to investing, we tend to have a certain expectation of what we should make per year in the stock market. Some say 6%-8%, some say 8%-10%, others say 10%-12%. Regardless of what your expectation is, it causes something to happen in us. If the annual performance of a given year is above our number, it's a "good" year.....and if it's below our number, it's a "bad" year. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses the problems with this mindset. He explains the truth behind the history of the stock market, how that should impact our perspective, and what to do about it. Sometimes a "good" year is actually bad, and sometimes a "bad" year is actually good. Clear as mud? We hope this episode helps clarify things!
