In today's episode of Money Talk with Skyler Fleming, we explored the fundamental concepts of financial dependence and independence, uncovering how our choices and circumstances profoundly shape our financial well-being. Joined by Estelle Gibson, we embarked on a journey of self-reflection and empowerment in managing our finances.

We began by defining financial dependence as relying on external sources like work or others for income, often influenced by both conscious decisions and life circumstances. Estelle emphasized the importance of breaking free from inherited financial patterns and actively engaging with our money to achieve greater control over our financial destinies. Moving forward, we dove into the significance of financial independence, which Estelle described as a personal definition encompassing everything from the freedom to pursue passions to having the resources for life's unforeseen challenges. Her insights into the money life cycle shed light on how financial needs evolve across different stages of life.

The Money Talking points for today’s episode are:

1. Are you financial dependent and if so, what are you dependent on?

2. What does financial independence mean to you right now?

3. What choice can you make now to move towards financial independence

In today’s episode, we're diving into a topic that's often kept under wraps but is crucial for financial success: talking money in the workplace. We often spend most of our time around those we work with. Yet we don’t turn to them for advice on money. Why not? Talking about money in the workplace can seem uncomfortable but it is a great place to learn from each other and even promote change. The only way your workplace retirement plan is going to get changed is by talking about it with your co workers.

In today’s interview Kevin Benson, founder of SERC (Southern Education Retirement Consortium), will join us to discuss how talking about financial matters openly in the workplace can have profound benefits, especially for educators. We explore why it's essential for educators to engage in conversations about money, the impact of retirement plans like the 403b and 457b, and how services like SERC are revolutionizing retirement consulting for educators across the nation.

But this conversation can extend beyond just educators. Are you heading to work and wondering why your retirement options at work aren’t any good? Well start talking to others. I’ve been able to promote some change and conversation at my work by talking about money more. I know my co workers will bounce financial ideas off of be because of my podcast. But I’ve also been able to talk with HR to get some 401k education from the company that runs our 401k. But I’ve also gotten them to consider adding a Roth option to our 401k. Thought it hasn’t happened yet, simple conversations get the ball rolling whether you’re an educator or in any other profession. Make sure you stay tuned for today’s great interview and some great content after the interview as well where I’m going to talk about an article I found outlining if Door Dash is worth it or not!

The Money Talking points for today’s episode are:

1. What retirement changes would you like to see at work?

2. How could you start talking about money with your coworkers?

In today’s episode, we’re talking with Chris Hensley about his podcast, talking about money, talking about investing, money fears, and feeling confident with money in our lives. Chris is a podcast host for 10+ years and a financial coach. He hosts the podcast, Money Matters. I was recently a guest on his podcast. So if you want to go listen to that episode, I’ll leave a link in the show notes!

But to outline a little more of what were talking about today. Should you talk about money with friends? Should you talk about Investing? These are great questions to be asking and Chris and I dive into how that can be helpful and sometimes harmful. So you may hear an example of when I don’t think it’s a good idea to talk about money! But Chris and I also get into why we like podcasting so much and I would even encourage anyone who has a field of interest to start creating some content around it so you can use it as a way to talk to the people you want to be around. Want to be around your favorite authors, starting talking about the books you’re reading and so on! Podcasts and other content is a great way to get around the people that you look to for help in your own life

Today’s segments are going to include the Money Talking Points of course as well as a handy hint, a personal finance power up, and I’m debuting a new segment called the Water Cooler. So make sure to stick around to the end for today’s great episode!

The Money Talking points for today’s episode are:

1. How do you feel confident with money?

2. What are your money fears?
