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. Thanks for Tuning In: Thanks for tuning in to listen to this episode of Millennial Money.

All personal finance experts can agree on one thing – starting to save early will almost always help you reach your lifestyle goals quicker and with more ease than those who wait longer. When you think about your savings there are two ways you can save - the crockpot style or the microwave style. Inspired by a recent industry article in Financial Planning Magazine, thinking about a crockpot for your savings strategy makes pretty good sense. With any crockpot recipe, the idea is simple. You gather all your ingredients ahead of time, throw them into the crockpot, turn it on low and slow for 6-8 hours, and then you have an almost always perfect meal sure to wow anyone. When you crockpot your savings you're using the same methodology. You're saving little by little over time with consistency so whenever you reach the age you would like to quit working, you're investments and savings have spent some time "cooking together." On This Podcast Episode: We'll chat about the crockpot method of savings Why a crockpot method might make more sense than microwaving your savings Let's talk about what you can and can't control with your savings Some guidelines to always keep in mind with savings Links Mentioned: 401(k) Calculator How Much to Save for Retirement Investor Questionnaire Risk Tolerance Profile Thanks for Tuning In: Thanks for tuning in to listen to this episode of Millennial Money.

To celebrate the holiday season we're featuring Best Of episodes all week long from some of the most popular podcast this year. It takes some work to spend $2 million a month like Johnny Depp has been the last few years. I mean, come on, that does take some work to do that (but I'd love the chance to try, right). You don't need to have Johnny Depp's bank account though to let yourself get carried away with your budget and spending. I'm often asked the question, "Why should I do this budget thing anyway?" Well, what is it that you want to achieve - buy a house, start a family, move to France, travel to the Bahamas? What is it that you're playing for? You see, even Johnny Depp's financial advisors started to waive some caution flags in front of him when his spending got carried away. When this happens, it's time to dial in and budget for your life, not your bank account. On This Podcast Episode: We'll chat about the ridiculousness of Johnny Depp's spending How you can visualize your own spending Where do you begin to set some boundaries around your spending Understand what are you playing for - aka, why you should budget Thanks for Tuning In: Thanks for tuning in to listen to this episode of Millennial Money.

During the holidays it's very easy to get wrapped up in all the gift buying and gift getting. Some of us save the whole year just to afford a great holiday season with family and friends.

On This Podcast Episode: Hannah Brencher found herself unhappy while living in NYC and battling depression. So she decided to write love letters to anyone that would read them in hopes of cheering them up (and perhaps herself). What she uncovered was an amazing movement turned into business around the simple, yet powerful, concept of sending More Love Letters. Hannah's sharing her story and journey in creating a business and a movement helping to change many people's lives Hear her share why this message is so powerful in today's environment Unlock ways you help others this holiday season without having to spend money Be inspired to take a leap of faith going into the New Year Check out her TED talk as well - it's a gem!
