- 032 - The Beauty (and Implications) of Not Having a Credit Score
We live in a culture that obsesses with credit scores and the idea of "building credit." We think it's ridiculous, unhealthy, and ultimately a fool's game. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains why he thinks we need to stop worrying about credit scores, why not having a credit score can be a good thing, and some of the implications (positive and negative) involved with choosing this route. Living life without a credit score isn't perfect....but it's worth it. Even if you ultimately disagree with us, we hope this gives you a different perspective to consider.

19 min - 031 - Why Pursuing Meaning is Better Than Pursuing Money
Let's talk about the elephant in the room. There's a common belief in our culture that we need to choose between pursuing meaning and pursuing money.....and conventional wisdom says to pursue meaning. Or if you identify with the FIRE movement, we're led to believe we should pursue money today so someday after we've selfishly hoarded enough money, we can pursue meaning. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains why we don't have to choose between meaning over money, why we should always choose meaning, why we should do it NOW, and why that decision often leads to more money anyway.

11 min - 030 - 12 Months for the Rest of Your Life
Sacrifice is hard! A sustained period of intense sacrifice is even harder! This is one of the main reasons why people are unable to gain meaningful traction in their finances and careers. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains how we can shift our perspective of sacrifice, and view it through a different lens. When we look at life in terms of seasons and wrap our head around the bigger picture of life, short periods of sacrifice become much more tolerable! A better life may be waiting for you on the other side of sacrifice. After all, you deserve better than normal!

19 min - 028 - You're Going to Make Mistakes....And That's OK!
Sometimes when we're trying to do this money stuff right, it can feel like so much pressure. Things like "what if I mess up?", "what if I make a mistake?", and "I'm scared to have a setback" start going through our head. Bad news: you are going to mess up, make mistakes, and have some setbacks." Good news: that's ok! We can't do this stuff perfect, and we most certainly will make mistakes along the way. On today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses the fact we're all going to make mistakes, shares some real-life examples, and explains how we can handle them so they don't deflate our confidence and progress.

21 min - 027 - Be Careful Who You Follow
There's a well-known saying that goes something like this: you become the average of the five people you spend the most time with. This applies to in-person relationships, but we also believe it applies to online connections. One of our favorite things about young adults is their willingness and desire to absorb other people's ideas and perspectives in the name of personal growth. YouTube, IG, TikTok, books, etc. Some of these people are awesome, but many aren't. Some are flat-out toxic, and are leading people down a risky, dangerous, and oftentimes toxic road. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses how we can discern who to follow, and perhaps more important, who NOT to follow.

15 min - 026 - The Secret Powers of Sinking Funds (As Always, It's Not About the Money!)
Whenever we try to do this money stuff well, especially budgeting, things seem to go pretty well until the moment it doesn't. And that moment is usually tied to an unexpected expense that hits us out of nowhere. We can have all the momentum in the world, then wham (!!!), something unexpected stops us in our tracks. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains how sinking funds can make a profound difference in both our finances and our psychology. We discuss what sinking funds are, why they matter, and how to easily implement them in your life. Even though this episode focuses more on the money side of the equation, it's not really about money. Money is NEVER about money!

18 min - 025 - Sorry Men, Women Are Better With Money
There are a lot of generalizations and stereotypes about the differences between men and women. Some are good, some are bad. When it comes to money, we think our culture has mislabeled and misidentified these gender-specific generalizations/stereotypes. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton shares his experiences working with hundreds of men, women, and couples, and tries to clarify common misconceptions. We also explore the question, "who handles money better....men or women?" As you can see from the episode title, Travis believes women inherently handle money better than men. However, it's probably not for the reasons you may think. The goal of this episode isn't to badmouth men, but rather to provide some insights that may help us all (including us men) do this money stuff better.
