  • Don't Do Resolutions, Do You
    New Year’s resolutions are stupid – don’t waste time or energy making resolutions. I’ve got a better plan I’m going to share with you on today’s episode.
    According to U.S. News, 80% of New Year's resolutions fail by February. And, in a poll that was taken in 2017, 53% of people said their resolution was to save money and 45% was to lose weight and get in shape while 25% of people said they just wanted to have more sex. Ok, well those aren’t bad resolutions, right. But they don’t stick.
    So what can you do – you’ve got to have a different plan for success – and it’s not about resolutions it’s about action.
    What You'll LearnHow to relax into the new year without a laundry list of resolutionsWhy resolutions don't workHow to set goals and make an action plan that will workHow to embrace you in the new yearWhy you should be thankful for the past and move on

  • Best of: Crockpot Your Savings
    We're featuring another Best Of episode from last year that was a listener favorite.
    All personal finance experts can agree on one thing – starting to save early will almost always help you reach your lifestyle goals quicker and with more ease than those who wait longer. When you think about your savings there are two ways you can save – the crockpot style or the microwave style.
    Inspired by a recent industry article in Financial Planning Magazine, thinking about a crockpot for your savings strategy makes pretty good sense. With any crockpot recipe, the idea is simple. You gather all your ingredients ahead of time, throw them into the crockpot, turn it on low and slow for 6-8 hours, and then you have an almost always perfect meal sure to wow anyone.
    What You'll LearnWe’ll chat about the crockpot method of savingsWhy a crockpot method might make more sense than microwaving your savingsFocus on saving little by little over time with consistency so whenever you reach the age you would like to quit working, you’re investments and savings have spent some time “cooking together.”Let’s talk about what you can and can’t control with your savingsSome guidelines to always keep in mind with savings

  • Best of: Budget for Your Life, Not Your Bank Account
    On this special Christmas episode, we're featuring a Best Of episode that was a listener favorite. It takes some work to spend $2 million a month like Johnny Depp has been the last few years. I mean, come on, that does take some work to do that (but I’d love the chance to try, right). You don’t need to have Johnny Depp’s bank account though to let yourself get carried away with your budget and spending.
    What is it that you’re playing for? You see, even Johnny Depp’s financial advisors started to waive some caution flags in front of him when his spending got carried away. When this happens, it’s time to dial in and budget for your life, not your bank account.
    What You'll LearnWe’ll chat about the ridiculousness of Johnny Depp’s spending and what you can learn from itHow you can visualize your own spending in a way that makes sense and keeps you motivatedWhere do you begin to set some boundaries around spending or even your goalsWhat are you playing for - this is the million dollar question

  • Political Threats and Your Bank Account with Mark Hamrick + Ask Shannah
    When I got out of college, I didn’t really care what went on in Washington and the government. It just sort of happened behind the scenes of my life. But now I care because I see how policies and government decisions can have an impact – good or bad- on my bank account and yet, it’s so hard to decipher what is good and not good watching the news and getting the highlights. So, I went straight to Mark Hamrick, Bankrate's senior economic analyst, to ask him how the political environment will impact you and me and what we need to know to be prepared.
