Meaning Over Money episodes
- 012 - The Real Cost of Debt: It's So Much Bigger Than Money
When we think about debt and the role it plays in our life, we tend to boil it down to dollars and cents. Interest rates, monthly payments, debt-to-equity ratios. Truth is, debt costs us far more than a handful of dollars. For some of us, it costs us our dreams. For others, our freedom. For many more, the things that truly matter to us. We're willfully selling our livelihoods for things that are fleeting and meaningless. When we think about debt differently, it can change everything! In today's episode, host Travis Shelton looks at debt through a different lens, and shows a better way to approach debt and life. After all, you deserve better than normal.

17 min - 011 - Money & Happiness: It's Not What You Think
We live in a culture that says more money = more happiness. Today, host Travis Shelton dives into the psychology of money and why it never makes us as happy as we think it will. We also explore some of the things that DO make us happy, according to behavioral scientists. You'll probably be surprised.....but not surprised at all. Everywhere we look, we find more evidence pointing to meaning being far more important than money. Surprise, surprise!!

24 min - 010 - What About Crypto?
In our previous episode, we made the argument for why the stock market has very little risk. The natural next question we receive is, "what about crypto?" In this episode, host Travis Shelton shares his perspective about crypto and the three questions each of us need to ask ourselves if we're thinking about taking the crypto plunge. You'll quickly hear, and we'll affirm once again, Travis isn't a crypto expert and doesn't play one on TV. Rather, we're just trying to provide some perspective and get you thinking before you decide what's right for your own situation.

15 min - 009 - How Risky Is the Stock Market?
On one hand, it's cool to see how many people are interested in investing these days. The shadow side to this awareness and interest is a handful of very dangerous, very toxic, very pervasive, and very skewed perspectives of what it means to invest. One of the biggest questions we get is "how risky is the stock market?" Some people perceive it as a game and engage it with reckless abandon. Others perceive it as risky gambling where you will most certainly lose. Both viewpoints are prevalent, and both are wrong. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton uses historical context and a long-term perspective to frame up the real risk of the stock market. Not individual stocks......the stock market. If you'd like the reader's digest version and save yourself 19 minutes of time, here's the short version: the stock market has very little long-term risk.

19 min - 007 - MYTH: Spending is Irresponsible
We live in a culture that says giving is good, saving is wise, and spending is irresponsible. We couldn't disagree more! Yes giving and saving are important (so important!).....but spending is just as important! In this episode, host Travis Shelton explains why he believes our culture has a toxic perspective on spending, some of the resulting consequences, and how spending can/should add value to your life. If you're someone who's been shamed for your spending your whole life, this is the episode for you!!! If you enjoy this episode, it would mean the world to us if you would share it with a friend.

29 min - 004 - "Why Young Adults?"
In this week's episode, host Travis Shelton explains why we spend so much time and energy focusing on young adults. In short, young adults are awesome!

15 min - 003 - The Non-Financial Case Against the FIRE Movement
It's a very unpopular opinion, but we're not fans of FIRE Movement! In this episode, host Travis Shelton explains what FIRE is, and why we have the controversial stance of disliking it so much. Unlike other opponents of this popular strategy, our opposition isn't related to the math. It's not about money......it's NEVER about money. Whether you're an avid FIRE follower, or this is the first time you've heard of it, we hope this adds some value to your journey.
