If you own your own business or you’re in sales, Your Money Show talked about building your business and some traps that you need to avoid. If you host a website in another state or lease a server in another state, you might own income taxes or sales taxes in that state. If you own a web server in 36 states or the District of Columbia, you have income tax nexus. Some of the states say you owe tax even if there are no sales into that state. If you lease a web server, there are 26 states that say you have income tax nexus. And finally if you use hosting services there are 12 states plus the District of Columbia that say nexus would arrive. The states are now turning their attention to small businesses, especially those who use catalogs or the Internet to sell across state lines.

We also talked with Bob Burg author of The Go Giver. No this isn’t a book about giving gifts to people. However it is a book about how to succeed in business by giving your time, your knowledge, your information to create value for your clients.

We also talked about the death of Robin Williams and the sudden health issues of Joan Rivers. Both people did some major planning to help their family. What can we learn from the death of Robin Williams and the sudden illness of Joan Rivers?

New sports stadiums and arenas are popping up all over the country. And, new stadiums are causing higher ticket prices and higher taxes as a result. The owners are adding to their profits through subsidies provided by local governments at a detriment to both sports fans and tax payers alike. While most politicians and sports franchise owners will want fans to believe that a new stadium is in their best interest, will bring jobs to their area, will increase their stature, and a host of other promises, the reality is far from those promises. The truth of the matter is that new stadiums are rarely a good deal for citizens and fans in most cases.

In this episode of the Money Q&A podcast, “Your Money: Your Choices”, I interview Neil deMause who is an expert in the area of new sports stadium construction, their costs, and their lasting affects on the game and its citizens. He is also the author of the book, “Field of Schemes – How the Great Stadium Swindle Turns Public Money into Private Profit“. On the podcast we not only talk about my favorite team in baseball, the Atlanta Braves, and their recent new stadium announcement, but we also talk about a host of other affects to teams building new stadiums. How much do government subsidies play into attracting new stadiums to an area? Is the skybox or the suite the cause of all this turmoil? Are professional athletes and their exorbitantly high priced salaries to blame? You may be surprised to hear what Neil has to say. But, more importantly, why should you care? In fact, you may also be surprised to learn just how much it will impact you, what you buy, the cost of sports tickets, salaries, new jobs, and the like. You won’t want to miss this very interesting conversation with such a national expert in the field.

The stock market is humming along lately, but this is of course despite a few recent macro level economic hiccups. Thanks to the federal government and the shutdown the economy has continued to remain sluggish. According to a report recently released by Standard & Poor’s, the government shutdown cost the United States $24 billion in lost production and growth. It took out $24 billion from the U.S. economy over the 16 day shutdown.

Do you give money to charity? You’re not alone. In fact, the National Philanthropic Trust and the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University found that 88% of all American households give to charity. And, the average annual gift to charity is over $2,200 per family. We are a nation of givers, and giving is an important step in our own personal finance journey. There is a reason why Dave Ramsey includes it in his last baby step of his popular book, The Total Money Makeover. Author Mary Hunt also lists giving as one of her money rules in her book, 7 Money Rules for Life: How to Take Control of Your Financial Future.

Can you be too frugal? Where do you draw the line between frugality and cheap? Is there a danger in being too cheap? There is a fine line that a small portion of the American population walks when it comes to frugality. The news is full of people drowning in credit card and other debts, but they miss the other side of the equation. There are also people who take frugality to an entirely different level. We all probably know someone like that. We’ve witnessed people who drive across town to save money on gas, budget their grocery spending down to the penny, or even people who take unethical steps to stretch their money each month. Of course, not all frugality is bad. We all need a little frugalness in our lives. But, how do we become frugal if we’ve missed the boat?

In this episode of the Money Q&A podcast, “Your Money: Your Choices”, I interview Gary Forman who is the editor of The Dollar Stretcher.
