Money is a sore subject for so many people. This is so true that many would rather continue in their bad habits and struggle than address their financial issues head-on. This episode provides you with some useful tips as to how you can decrease your stress and anxiety when it comes to your finances, and I make clear how the financial action plan can help you to do this effectively. If nothing else, I want you all to be taking positive steps in your financial lives, and anxiety about your finances will not allow you to do so.

If you are worried about your own financial situation, I am sure you have put some amount of thought into your children and the best way to prepare them for their financial futures. Two of the most common approaches for saving for your child’s future is doing so in college savings plans (529s, ESAs, etc.) or in custodial accounts (UTMAs/UGMAs). Neither one of these are bad ideas, but they are very different in their use and rules. I want to compare and contrast the two and tell you what I am doing for my son and why that is the case.

It is extremely hard to get over losses, especially when you are not a seasoned investor. I can only imagine those who began investing during the COVID-19 pandemic taking their first correction. It must be tough, and I want to help you all get over your first set of losses. Not only do I want to help you get over them, I want you to get used to short-term corrections and understand that being a long-term investor means overlooking the short-term for the long-term benefit that is sure to come.

As much as it may be surprising to you, the stock market often shrugs off military conflict and geopolitical issues quickly and with far less of a response than you may expect. Even though Russia & Ukraine have added another level of uncertainty and volatility to our financial markets, they have not thrown us into deep losses by any means. I think we need some historical context for what to expect here with our investments, and I will provide that for you in this episode.

The Oracle of Omaha has long been touted for his nuggets of wisdom and insight about all things investing and all things wealth-building. The annual letter that he writes for Berkshire Hathaway shareholders holds many of these pearls and is worth reading every year. I wanted to share with you all what a maximizing shareholder value sounds/looks like coming from a CEO and provide you with some investing knowledge from Buffett along the way.

This is a rerun of episode #354 about the importance of investing.

Sometimes I think we ask the wrong questions. Very often we ask what we should invest in or how we should invest, but we fail to ask the all too important question of WHY we should be investing. Personally, I find this to be elementary, but without knowing WHY, we will never have the full picture as to the benefits/costs of taking on such an activity. The reasons to invest are many, and I will make some of them clear in this episode with the hopes of making a simple question ring important in our minds.

This is a rerun of episode #249 about getting out and staying out of debt.

Even though debt, overall, is an extremely negative concept, I do think that we can all acknowledge that some types of debt are not nearly as bad as others. I believe in being 100% debt-free, thus having all of your income to pay bills and do whatever you want with the rest. Getting out of and avoiding all of these debt types will be advantageous to you, but steering clear of some of the worst types can keep you from financial ruin. Ultimately, I just want you to be aware of all of the financial traps that are laying around you so your financial life doesn’t get derailed. Today, we will discuss:

1. My thoughts on debt

2. Different types of debt ranked in order of how bad they are for your financial life

This is a rerun of episode #237 that stresses taking advantage of the matching contributions that your employer offers you in your 401(k)/403(b), or other retirement plans.

In this new landscape for retirement where pensions are almost non-existent and social security isn’t enough to cover your necessities, much of the retirement weight is put on our shoulders. We have to make sure that we save enough for retirement. Luckily, though, many companies are transitioning into offering healthy matches to employee contributions into employers-sponsored retirement accounts. These matches can go a long way toward helping us create the financial life we always hoped for. Today, we will discuss:

1. What an employer match is

2. How employer matches work

3. How employer matches can help you build wealth

4. Why employer matches are first in the order of investment priority

This is a rerun of episode #237 that teaches us the importance of an emergency fund.

One of the primary tenants of good financial management is having emergency savings in case something were to occur in your life that was unforeseen. One of the biggest gripes about this emergency fund money is that the money declines in value if it just sits in the bank. This may be the case, but when it comes to money that you may need to get your hands on at any time, there is no better place for your money to be than somewhere predictable and reliable. Today, we will discuss:

1. The impact inflation has on savings and how to combat it

2. Why you need an emergency fund

3. Places you should not put your emergency fund

This is an episode that I believe encompasses well where we should start with our financial action plan. This is a rerun of episode #140 that teaches us to live below our means and on a budget.

Protecting what you have financially requires some wise moves on your part. At the foundation of just about everything that you should do to win financially, in the long-term is the idea of living below your means or living on less than you make. In order to follow my Financial Action Plan and attain financial freedom, you have to create margin in your financial life, and the paycheck-to-paycheck mentality must be thrown out the window. Until it is, you will be hurting, not protecting, your financial life. Today, we will discuss:

1. What it means to live below your means

2. How living below your means is at the center of every part of the Financial Action Plan

3. How living below your means is the best way to be financially free
