What would it feel like to be a financial grownup? I share a bit more in the episode, but I grew up in a family where we openly talked about stock investments, wealth, and growing your money, even from an early age. However, I missed some important lessons around saving money, how to deal with debt, and honestly realistic expectations of how much money you make post-college. I did what you probably did, just figure it all out. However, I know you want more for yourself and for your kids…or future kids. You may recognize Bobbi Rebell’s name from previous episodes. She’s a Certified Financial Planner and is the author of Launching Financial Grownups: Live Your Riches Life By Helping Your (Almost) Adult Kids Become Everyday Money Smart. She’s also a fellow podcaster with her show Money Tips for Financial Grownups.

Are these 5 investing taboos keeping you stuck? In Today's Shannah Shares, Community Q&A reboot episode, I tackle a question from Laquesha: "Hi Shannah. Thanks so much for answering my question. I really want to start investing but I keep getting hung up on all the chatter out there. I can’t figure out if I’m supposed to wait to start investing until I’ve paid off all my debt, or is that not smart to do? Also, it just feels like I need to be an expert at investing to do it well. I know that’s not true, but man, it just feels so hard to figure out investing. I know so many people are making a killing, and I kinda feel bad that I haven’t started at all, know what I mean. You’ve done so many great investing episodes, I’m curious if there’s an episode from the past that you think I should check out. You’re awesome and I so appreciate this show for motivating me. My boyfriend can’t believe I care this much about my money, but I just tell him, yes, yes I do and so should you. Ok, thanks again."

The world of investing has largely been monopolized by companies that offer an outdated way of investing. Most investment companies don’t offer community amongst members or any type of education to help you. Enter Eve Halimi and Anam Lakhani, two 25-year-old phenoms who are also the Co-Founders of Alinea. Alinea is an investing community that helps its investors take a look under the hood to meet the people behind the company, aligning their investor’s impact interests and personal values with their investments. Eve and Anam are sharing how to invest in this new era, including why social sharing is so key when it comes to investing. Eve and Anam detail in this episode their journey to creating Alinea and how they are taking on the big boys like Robinhood and other old-school investment firms to provide you a better investing community. That’s right, I said community, and these powerhouse women mean it. Oh, and BTW, they are seriously smart when it comes to knowing how to invest wisely. I’ll let them take it from here.

Alright, who has been guilty of a little revenge spending this year? I know I have. That dopamine hit is a real thing when it comes to spending. The truth is, most of us just haven’t felt in control during the pandemic so now you want to spend, spend, spend. However, is that a good thing for our bank accounts, but maybe helps a little with our mental health? As our guest, Dr. Jaime Peters, Assistant Dean and Professor of Accounting, Finance, and Economics at Maryville University says, “if you’ve saved up and you want to buy something great, but the problem is when you start stretching yourself to spend just to feel good again.” In this episode, Jaime shares what revenge spending is, how you can balance spending with achieving your money goals, and what you need to think about if we are headed for a recession this year.

In this special vualt episode of Shannah Shares, Community Q&A, I'm sharing how to prioritize your savings goals for the big stuff. Today’s Community question comes from Robbie: "Hi there, Shannah, thanks so much for taking the time to answer my question and for all the great money content. I’m seriously learning so much. I wish I would’ve had this podcast when I was in college. I’m in my mid 30’s now and I just feel like I’m playing catch up all the time. I make good money and between my partner and me around $300K a year. We live in Chicago though and it can be pretty expensive. We’ve got some goals we’re trying to save for - a wedding, a home purchase, and a big honeymoon trip. The problem is that we save money and then we tend to blow it on things that aren’t so important or need it for emergencies or just dump stuff. Can you help us figure out how to prioritize our money goals seeing as we want to save for big stuff? I feel like I could use a little of your tough love to get us on the right track. Every article I read just says to spend less and that isn’t really helpful. Thanks again and I hope you never stop this podcast because I would be so lost money-wise."

I’m so excited about these new money 101 episodes. Over the course of the next few months, I’ll be breaking down some topics like how to pay off debt, ways to easily start investing, how to improve your credit score, and so much more. This episode is dedicated to the much-hated and universally loathed budget. As you can tell, I’m not a fan too. That’s because I believe that budgeting was never taught properly to you, so the fact that you hate budgeting isn’t your fault. It’s like a system that was set up to fail, so if you’ve never felt like you could do budgeting correctly or the numbers never work out, not to worry at all. In this episode, I give you permission to ditch your budget and instead learn the power of tracking your cash.

This episode was inspired by a question from Bri: "Thank you for being the FIRST person to support me through my financial journey as an adult. I’m currently healing from many different emotions surrounding money. My question for you is about credit cards with perks. I got a few cards totaling 4,000 that I’m paying down but I didn’t realize I was doing a disservice to myself by not utilizing cards with perks (travel, rewards). Should I be moving toward paying off and closing 2/3 of those cards or pay off/down and try to add those smarter cards to my life? Thanks again for all you do, you’ve changed my life for the better. I’m not as afraid of money as I once was."

What are NFTs and are they really an investment? I’ve been looking forward to this episode for quite some time because I’ve got a lot of NFT questions. It feels like all I’m reading these days is more about NFT hacks and losses so I was curious to know everything - what are NFTs, how do you create one, and are NFTs actually investments that you should spend your money on. Also, I’m a bit curious if NFTs are just another passing fad or here to stay. I knew just who to talk to. Stephen Young is the Founder and CEO of NFTfi, a company that allows NFT owners to use the asset you own to access liquidity, aka cash. As Stephen says in our conversation, “NFTs are simply memes you can invest in.” I think we need to know a lot more about NFTs, so let’s get talkin’.

I have some shocking info to share with you. Data shows that almost all women will be single at some point either later in life or in the earlier years. Whether it’s being married and getting a divorce, being married and being widowed, or never getting married, if you’re a woman listening, buckle up for singlehood. And, unlike dual-earning couples, many of America’s 66 million unmarried women survive on one income. Yep, I know, mind blown, right? Of course, women earn less and are more at risk when things like the current levels of inflation spike up. What this means is that we have to be smarter with how we save, spend and invest our money. Margaret Price and Jill Gianola have written a great book called, Single Women & Money detailing everything you need to know to live well on your income. These powerhouse women are guests on this episode and share why the money situation for single women differs greatly, how the economy impacts single women more intensely, financial resources for single women in hardship, and key money steps to take in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, and so much more.

In this episode, I'm featuring a Budget Rescue with Robert who asks: "Hi Shannah, thanks for taking the time to answer my question. BTW I love the new name of the show. This is one of the only places I feel like we can listen to all different types of conversations and you always surprise me with the topics. It’s so cool. I’m writing to see if you would give me some insights into my monthly budget. Here’s my snapshot - I make around $5K per month and have a fairly stable job, at least I think so. Here’s my spending: Rent - $1950 Car payment - $350 Student Loans - $300 once the pause stops in August Credit cards - I owe $6300 on two cards and pay $250 on one and $275 on the other. I know I need to get rid of this debt Groceries - approximately $100 a week/ $400 a month Eating out - $500 (sigh, I like to eat out a lot) Household items - $150 Dog care - approx $125 a month Clothes shopping - $150 a month on average Utilities - $250 a month Car insurance - $165 a month ATT cell phone - $127 a month I know that I should have around $350 - $500 a month left over but the problem is that I don’t each month and I can’t figure out why. You’re super good at helping people with their budgets so I was wondering if you could give me some pointers and thoughts on what I might be missing or not including here. I’d like to be able to save some money for my ER fund every month and put some into a travel savings account. Thanks again for this show…it’s helped me so much."

When you get married, you want to start your shared life together on the right financial foot. Most people are so involved with wedding planning that they put off having necessary money conversations that always arise after you tie the knot, and those often lead to fights and relationship breakdowns. If I’m honest, even as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, I still had some money fears after saying “I Do.” Based on my years working as a financial planner (AKA a marriage financial therapist) and personal experience, there are six major money decisions to make after you get married.

Hey, ETM listeners, great to have you back for this episode that is guaranteed to put money back in your wallet.

In this Shannah Shares, Community Q&A episode, I'm sharing the 7 ways to stay focused on your money goals inspired by a question form Amanda: "I love your podcast and have been listening for over a year now being inspired and working towards my goals. Maybe my question isn't really a question, but more like a request for a pep talk. I have 4 main money goals that I've been slowly working towards Paying off my student loans, saving 4 months of expenses in my emergency fund, saving $3,000 in a what I like to call an "oh shit fund" (I can access this savings account much quicker than my emergency fund), and finally saving for a house. For the past 6 years, I've been laser-focused on paying off my student loans, but because of the pandemic, I decided to shift my focus on hitting my emergency fund goal. Recently, however, I've been struggling with staying focused on achieving the emergency fund goal. I now have only $9,000 left to go of my student loans and I'm also only 3 months away from hitting my emergency fund goal, but now I'm getting the urge to use basically all of my emergency fund money to pay off my student loans now. I know if I did this, I would feel AWESOME but know I would feel anxious knowing I had no emergency fund to fall back on. Do you have any suggestions for staying focused on one goal before making a rash decision and jumping to another goal? I know these are all good problems to have, but I would really love some words of encouragement or advice on how to stay focused on my current goal.

In this Shannah Shares, Community Q&A episode, I'm sharing the 7 tips to help you stay focused on your money goals inspired by a question form Amanda: "I love your podcast and have been listening for over a year now being inspired and working towards my goals. Maybe my question isn't really a question, but more like a request for a pep talk. I have 4 main money goals that I've been slowly working towards Paying off my student loans, saving 4 months of expenses in my emergency fund, saving $3,000 in a what I like to call an "oh shit fund" (I can access this savings account much quicker than my emergency fund), and finally saving for a house. For the past 6 years, I've been laser-focused on paying off my student loans, but because of the pandemic, I decided to shift my focus on hitting my emergency fund goal. Recently, however, I've been struggling with staying focused on achieving the emergency fund goal. I now have only $9,000 left to go of my student loans and I'm also only 3 months away from hitting my emergency fund goal, but now I'm getting the urge to use basically all of my emergency fund money to pay off my student loans now. I know if I did this, I would feel AWESOME but know I would feel anxious knowing I had no emergency fund to fall back on. Do you have any suggestions for staying focused on one goal before making a rash decision and jumping to another goal? I know these are all good problems to have, but I would really love some words of encouragement or advice on how to stay focused on my current goal.

With inflation, rising gas prices and the higher cost of groceries, saving money on everyday essentials is a necessity. Being financially well off isn’t about earning 50% more in your job, winning the lottery or coming into a ton of cash. It’s the everyday small amounts of money you can save here and there and then routing that towards your expenses and goals. You may remember Jay Klauminzer, CEO from one of my very fav apps Raise, on previous episodes. He’s back on this special episode to talk about creative ways to save money on everyday essentials so you can afford your money goals.

Welcome back to another episode of Shannah Shares Community Q&A. In this episode, I’m answering a listener question from Richard. “Hi Shannah. I feel like I know you but I only know you through my earbuds three times a week. Thanks for this show. Honestly, it’s given me life in a time when I felt so stressed out with money. I’m 41 and to be completely transparent with you I’ve never really learned about money. I’ve just fumbled my way through. I would imagine someone else is listening and agreeing. My parent’s never taught me about money, I didn’t learn it in school and I’ve felt left to figure this all out. I’m doing pretty well as far as salary but I don’t have a lot to show for it at the end of the month. That’s hard to admit. Even though I make 6 figures I’m still living paycheck to paycheck and it’s stressing me the f out. I set all these money goals all the time and then I never reach them. In fact, I just don’t make progress because I feel like I’m full of so much money shame, guilt, and just anxiety. I don’t want to live stressed anymore and I know that is what is in the way of me making progress. You’ve been so great at helping me see how I can’t make good money choices when I’m full of anxiety. Thank you for talking about something that no other money person seems to address. You’ve done so many great episodes around this I’m curious if there’s one that you think I have to listen to ….even listen to again to let the words sink in. I may be your biggest fan because I feel like I have your calming voice to encourage me each week.

Did you know that 30% of the population of the world is still unbanked? Meaning, 30% of the world’s population can’t easily get to a bank, let alone deposit a check, take cash out, or use any of the conveniences that help you pay for your life. And, on top of that 93% of bank closures happen in low-income areas. In this episode, I have an important conversation with Briana Marbury. Briana serves as Executive Director of the Interledger Foundation, which aims to build access to financial pathways around the world. She brings 15 years of non-profit experience and leadership to the role, as well as a passion for promoting financial inclusion for all. She is dedicated to expanding the public’s understanding of how we can use technology’s immense potential to improve lives. You’ll learn what it means to be unbanked, how Briana thinks we can increase access to financial services, what role crypto plays in our society, why financial inclusion is critical for us all, and how her money story was shaped as a young woman who didn’t have many banking options.

On this episode of Shannah Shares, Community Q&A, I'm answering a question from Erica: "Hi Shannah! First off I love your podcast. Your podcast has helped me so much. I learn something new every time I tune in. My question is this. I'm 31 years old with a 2-year-old son which I’m the sole provider for. When he was born I bought a term life insurance policy for 20 or 25 years for 10x my salary. I thought I was thoroughly covered as all the financial advice I get says that’s what you should get to make sure your child is taken care of when you’re gone. Two weeks ago my uncle passed away unexpectedly and I’ve been assisting in planning his funeral. My question is this if you have term life insurance and you live past that then essentially you’re no longer covered and now need some other type of burial policy; what type of insurance or burial policy would you recommend? Should I get that in place now because I’m young with no major health issues or can I wait until the policy I have now expires? I want to not only be sure my son is covered if something happened to me during his childhood but also that I’m not a burden to him in my adulthood. Thanks for your advice and all that you do.
