  • Sneaky Ways To Pay Off Debt and Best Credit Cards For 2018 - Wallethub
    With millions of people making a financially themed resolution for 2018 - pay off that debt and save more are the two top resolutions - and recent Fed rate hikes expected to cost credit card users an extra $7.4 billion in interest this year (YIKES), the personal-finance website WalletHub today released a pair of reports that will help you save more in the new year: 2018’s Best Credit Cards as well as the latest Credit Card Landscape Report.
    On This Podcast Episode:
    To tackle any big financial challenge like paying off debt it's going to take a game plan and some plain ole' commitment.
    However, that doesn't mean that you should focus on paying off all the debt all at once - in fact, that can lead to burnout and frustration.
    On this podcast episode, I'm chatting with Jill Gonzalez, analyst from WalletHub about some of their recent findings in their Credit Card Landscape report, and how those findings can help you in 2018 be smart and strategic in paying off your debt.

  • Securing and Protecting Your Finances In The Cashless Society - Joe Daly
    Let's talk about a "tough" money subject  – security and fraud prevention.
    It's on everyone's mind, even though our cashless society is pretty convenient for us all. The payments innovation landscape is rapidly broadening to encompass innovation ranging from mobile payments to biometrics (as exhibited by Apple’s recent announcement) and even voice-activated payments – but the question remains, can you trust these new technologies for payments?
    On This Podcast Episode:
    I'm going straight to the expert, Joe Daly (COO, Paysafe Payments Processing, North America), to find out how you can stay save in this cashless society. On this episode we're talking about topics that we're all trying to figure out including:Cashless Future – Millennials are the driving force behind a cashless society, but you expect high-performance and security from your alternative payment options before you completely abandon traditional payment methods. How can you balance that?
    Convenience Above All – In 2018, millennials will drive digital wallet adoption due to this generation’s preference for convenient payment methods. How do you stay safe?
    Alternative Payment Technologies – Although Paysafe research found 31% of 18 – 34 year-olds already use cryptocurrencies from time to time, Millennials will not be a driving force behind standardizing cryptocurrency as a mainstream payment. Why is this?

  • Best Of - 7 Habits Of Future Millionaires
    Why is the word millionaire so powerful? It seems to be the only goal that most of us actively strive for, but the funny thing is we aren't sure what exactly happens when we reach that coveted million dollar mark. We're bringing back this best of episode to inspire you to embrace some of these habits for the new year.
    There are so many habits you should cultivate but we're going to talk about my favorite 7 habits of future millionaires.
    Being a millionaire isn't so much about the dollar amount in your bank as it is about positive habits that will shape your thinking as you strive towards your money goals.
    On This Podcast Episode:
    I'm dishing about the 7 habits of future millionaires and just why these little habits are so important to being successful. There are countless articles and books out there about the practical tips to becoming a millionaire - saving a certain percentage, getting good raises at work, having no debt, paying cash, etc.
    While these tips are fantastic, they don't speak to the emotional side of what it takes to become an elusive millionaire. After all, you can make millions and spend it all and be broke, or you can make a decent living, have strong money habits in place, and retire a millionaire.
    I don't know about you, but I choose the option #2.
