Meaning Over Money episodes
- 042 - The Teacher Myth
Teachers (and the teaching profession) get a bad rap in our culture, and we think it's unfair and unwarranted. Specifically, we want to address something we refer to as "the teacher myth." The narrative in our culture tells us teachers don't make much and will always be poor, thus discouraging current and future teachers from using their unique gifts to bless our children. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains why teachers have a better gig than we give them credit for, and why it matters. Travis coaches a lot of teachers, and honestly, most of them are absolutely crushing it on the financial front. If you're a teacher, or aspire to one day become one, we hope this episode sheds some positive light and provides encouragement. Lastly, thank you to all the teachers who are making a difference in this world!

18 min - 041 - Men vs. Women: The Fall-Out and Follow-Up
In episode 25, host Travis Shelton explained why he believes women are generally better at handling money than men. In that episode, he argues men are indeed more emotional with money, for two primary reasons: 1) men use money as a scorecard, and 2) pride and ego. We've received a lot of reactions and responses since that episode launching into the world. In today's episode, we share some of that feedback and answer some of the follow-up questions we received on the heels of that episode.

18 min - 040 - Your Tone is the Tell
Have you ever asked someone a question where their words and their tone gave two completely different answers? In today’s episode, host Travis Shelton explains why this often happens when we talk about our jobs, why we often lie to ourselves, and how others can spot the real truth. This may sound like a trivial topic, but really engaging in this exercise has the potential to change everything!

12 min - 039 - The Curse of Comparison
No matter how good we're doing in a particular area of life, there's one thing that always has the power to knock us down: comparing ourselves to others. Unfortunately, there's always going to be someone smarter, funnier, better looking, making more money, having more opportunities, and one step ahead of us. It's so easy for us to have a pity party and get frustrated. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains why the curse of comparison can stunt our progress, sabotage our journey, and steal our happiness. He talks about a client who recently celebrated the huge milestone of paying off $116,000 of debt in just over 1.5 years. Huge accomplishment! Their now-public story will surely elicit two different responses from people. Some will be motivated and inspired, while others will get struck by the curse of comparison. Here's one thing we know: if Ryan and Paige can do it, so can you! Don't let their achievements make you feel worse about yourself, but rather let their win fuel your upcoming win. Then fast forward a year or two, your story will inspire another wave of people to achieve their wins. We're all in this together!

11 min - 038 - How to Get Your Spouse Involved With Budgeting, and Why It's More Important Than You Think
"My spouse and I are on the same page with finances, but he/she isn't engaged with the budget." This is one comment we hear over and over. In fact, this is a very common trend in families today. Even for couples who budget and are on the same page, some spouses exclude themselves from the process and instead put all the trust and responsibility on the other spouse. Big mistake! In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses all the reasons it's important for both spouses to be involved with the budget process, the risks of not doing so, and shares 7 important things you can do to help get yours on board. This may seem like a silly topic, but it's oh so important!

15 min - 037 - Staying At Home With Kids is Always a Choice
Young couples today are facing two really important questions: "Do we want one spouse to stay at home with the kids?", and "Can we afford for one spouse to stay at home with the kids?" The first question is a deeply personal one, and every couple needs to seek out the right answer for them. But the second question is a lie our culture tells us. Staying at home with kids isn't something we get to do if we are "lucky" or "fortunate". Rather, staying at home is a choice. It's always a choice. A very difficult, sacrificial choice. That's why there are couples making $500,000 who "can't afford" to do it, but other couples making $50,000 who can. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton unpacks the idea of staying at home as a choice, , and walks through some of the sacrificial decisions a couple may choose to make on their road to bringing one spouse home. It's rarely easy, but it's always worth it.

19 min - 036 - More Income Won't Cure Your Financial Stress (Here's What Will!)
One of the stories we tell ourselves is that our financial stress would go away if only we made $____ more money. So we work, work, work, for that next raise or promotion. Then when it finally comes, the financial stress lingers. So we think to ourself, "ah, it must require $____ more to reduce the stress." Thus the cycle continues. Bad news: no amount of income can eliminate your financial stress. Good news: you already have the tools to reduce your stress today! In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains why no amount of income will remove our financial stress, how even people who make tons of money face financial stress, and how each of us can make changes in our own life to reduce the stress.

17 min - 035 - Hate Fridays, Love Mondays
Studies show 4PM on Sunday afternoon is the most depressing hour of the week. Our weekend is almost over, and we're starting to dread what tomorrow will bring. Sound familiar? Considering 70% of Americans either dislike or hate their jobs, there's a pretty good chance this idea of dreading Mondays may hit a bit close to home. Here's the good news: it doesn't have to be this way! In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses this counter-cultural idea of loving Mondays. It sounds odd, but it's possible. Each one of us has a choice to make, and not making a choice is still making a choice. After listening to today's episode, we hope it gives you some added perspective as you make yours.

18 min - 034 - Don't Sweat the Small Things: Starbucks and Netflix Aren't What's Hurting You
We live in a culture that's obsessed with small things. "Quit buying those coffees", "you don't need that extra pair of shoes", "that concert is wasting money", "get rid of Netflix". We think this is ridiculous....and short-sighted. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains why we need to stop obsessing with the small things and start paying closer attention to the bigger decisions in life. Just a handful of key decisions can result in a multi-million dollar swing for most of us.....especially young adults. Oh yeah, and let's not give up those coffees, shoes, concerts, or Netflix along the way. After all, it's not about money......it's about meaning!

13 min - 033 - Don't Judge Decisions Based On Outcomes
This is going to sound backwards, but we don't think decisions should be judged based on outcomes. Sometimes good decisions have bad outcomes.....and sometimes bad decisions have bad outcomes. Truth is, when we make a decision, all we can do is make the best decision with the information available to us at the time. Hindsight is always 20/20, so it can be easy to beat ourselves up and play woulda-shoulda-coulda. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses this idea of separating decisions from their outcomes, sharing some examples, and exploring some of the negative consequences we will likely face down the road if we always judge decisions based on their outcomes.
