How to Money

If you were faced with a financial emergency, how would you respond? Imagine you just found out that today was your last day at work and you had no other income- do you know how you would cut back in order to get by? That might be a terrible scenario to envision, but we believe that having a bare bones budget in your back pocket is necessary as it can be powerful in case of a financial emergency. It’s all about keeping your needs and cutting your wants in order to prevent you from relying on debt or making other ill-advised financial moves. During this episode we discuss what you should include in your own bare bones budget, as well as the additional benefits that accompany thinking through some of the worst case money scenarios that you might encounter.During this episode we enjoyed an Ethereal Vibrations by Monday Night Brewing!

Price increases are making the headlines- from commodities to everyday household items, virtually everything is getting more expensive! Does that mean that inflation is spiraling out of control? This is something we haven’t had to even think about in recent years because while inflation rates in the 70s-80s topped 10%, inflation (or the Consumer Price Index) has been sitting at roughly 1.5% over the last ten years. It’s been stable and it’s also been fairly low, but it seems like things are now changing. After significant increases in recent months, it's clear that there are changes afoot, and we’re going to directly address how to keep inflation from wrecking your finances.During this episode we enjoyed a Be Easy Citra by Monday Night Brewing!

We’re seeing one of the hottest housing markets in recent history! Bidding wars are driving up prices, homes are going under contract after just one week on the market, and mortgage rates are near historic lows. But that raises the question- is it a dumb idea to buy a home with these kinds of conditions and with the market this hot? What if this is another housing bubble? Are we going to see prices come crashing down like they did just over 12 year ago? We share our thoughts as we discuss a bunch of different reasons for residential real estate being on fire. And if you are ready to buy a home, we also cover a number of different tactics that you should implement to ensure that you get the home you want without overpaying.During this episode we enjoyed a Rhyming Numbers- thanks to Eighth State Brewing for donating this one to the show!

Just like how we can idolize ‘finding the right one’ when looking for a partner or spouse, the same can be true of passive income as we’re talking about our personal finances. We can be tempted into thinking that if we only find the right person then it’s smooth sailing. But as anyone who has been in a long-term relationship knows- the work has only just begun! The same is often true of the different passive income opportunities that we hear pitched in social media or hawked in YouTube videos. Passive income is a legit and real concept, but the way it’s often presented doesn’t include the full story, or they leave out some crucial details. There are very few sources of 100%, purely passive income and so that’s why we are dispelling the myth that there are opportunities around every corner, but have a listen because there are ways you can begin establishing your own future streams of income, today.During this episode we enjoyed a Radix by Halfway Crooks!

With every passing day, it seems like we’re getting closer to being able to resume our pre-pandemic lives. On a personal note, we’re really looking forward to cramming into the Benz here in Atlanta to watch some soccer. And while we’re looking for a degree of normalcy, we need to make sure that we don’t spend our way into oblivion as the economy is reopening! There’s a good chance many of us ended last year without having spent nearly as much money as we typically would have, and now we’re chomping at the bit- shopping might feel like one of the few things we can do right now. Since there is so much pent-up demand, it’ll really be easy for us to fall prey to poor spending. It’s important for us to keep that behavior in check and there are a host of alternatives for us to consider instead of making that purchase. But if we’ve decided that we have to click ‘buy’, then we have a ton of options to make sure that we’re getting the best deal possible.During this episode we enjoyed a Citrus Wheat by Rightside Brewing- thanks to our friends over at Rightside for donating this ‘near beer’ to the show!

What does it take to win with your money and achieve your financial goals? During this episode, we make a case that the most important factor is grit. It’s not earning six figures, or knowing the exact right investment moves to make. Though both of those are important, they’re not nearly as vital as grit. As Angela Duckworth writes, “Grit is perseverance for very long-term goals”. We begin to succeed when we truly commit to the goals that we’re pursuing. Luckily the amount of grit we possess isn’t static and there are ways for us to cultivate more grit in our lives that will allow us to get ahead with our finances. Passion, practice, and other people are just a few of the really important ways that we can develop more grit and start winning with our money.During this episode we enjoyed a Pales in Comparison by Edmund’s Oast!

There are a number of confusing things in life- for some it’s deciphering the latest Christopher Nolan film, for others it might be the process of building whatever is in that flat pack box from Ikea. But what about taxes? They can also be a puzzling topic and we also tend to have some janky tax ideas in our brains. Unfortunately, those ideas are often what we base our decisions on if we don’t have a tax professional in our life. So our goal for this episode is to clear up some more common tax misconceptions out there and to make sure that we’re all making decisions based on what’s true instead of based on a video that someone made on TikTok, or what we heard a friend say.During this episode we enjoyed a Sponch-O Villa by J Wakefield!

Here’s a saying that we’ve all heard- don’t put all your eggs in one basket. That makes a lot of sense but does it apply to investing? Is one fund enough if you’re invested in a diversified index fund? Or maybe you’re thinking- forget index funds, what about bonds? Shouldn’t I be invested in those as well? These are all questions that we’re going to address during this episode where we discuss asset allocation and how it is that we personally invest. Everyone wants to make wise investing decisions, but in an attempt to diversify we can easily become overwhelmed with the pure quantity of different investing options that are available. For example crypto, REITs, and NFTs just to name a few. Spending some time thinking about asset allocation is smart but simplicity has its advantages. Listen in as we do a deep dive on asset allocation today to put your mind at ease and help you think through what a solid diversification strategy looks like.During this episode we enjoyed a Haptic by Halfway Crooks Beer!

You can call them maxims, proverbs, or even mottos, but the most common phrases we hear tend to ingrain themselves as truth over time. If we hear something consistently enough it takes root in our psyche! Some of those sayings are about money but what if they’re not true? If we have the wrong information we could have a view of our money, of business, and even of how the world works that is entirely false! During this episode we talk about some of the most common money phrases that we hear and dissect the truthfulness of those phrases. If something we hear about money is incorrect or flawed, we need to correct our course! We want to make sure that we’re not accidentally basing our personal finance beliefs on some catchy sayings we’ve heard over the years.During this episode we enjoyed an Aliens on Moonshine by Torched Hop!

How big of a role does luck play as we handle our money? Or does it only come down to our ability to work hard and advance our station by sheer will, focus, and determination?

Your annual salary is not the only thing you should consider when it comes to your compensation at work- you also need to take a serious look at your other benefits. Some of them are straightforward line items on your paystub like retirement plan contributions, but others might be offered more as informal company perks like wellness classes. Hopefully you’re taking full advantage of all of those offerings. But if you’re not, realize that not utilizing those benefits to their fullest potential can be akin to leaving money on the table (and possibly even more money than you realize due to their tax advantage)! You may not be interested in every single option, but it’s at least worth doing a little digging to see what is available so that you can make the best informed decision possible when it comes to compensation.During this episode we enjoyed a Koko Buni by Creature Comforts.

More (costs) than meets the eye! Housing is easily the largest budget item that we have here in the US, and so we’re dedicating an entire episode to the seemingly endless line of expenses that accompany owning a home. There are costs associated with purchasing, maintaining, and selling a home so we want to make sure you know what you’re getting into ahead of time. Many first-time homebuyers think that they are just swapping out a rent payment for a mortgage but it’s not that simple or straightforward. Owning a home will likely cost you more than you think so it’s important to start budgeting now, so you can purchase and maintain a home with a lot less stress later on.During this episode we enjoyed a Derby Juice by Anderby Brewing- thanks for donating this one to the show Aunt Sal-Sal.

Little money tricks alone won’t get us all the way to our financial goals. As we discussed recently, just a couple of bigger money moves can have more of an impact on our bottom line than a bunch of small ones. However there are some small tricks, that when paired with a new perspective, will lead to massive change over the years. So for example we’re not just talking about the $5.00 you’ll save today because you’re doing a no spend week, we’re talking about your ability to question your overall view towards consumption. We’re not just encouraging you to start saving towards retirement, we're asking you to imagine what your life might look like 40 years from now so you can truly connect with your future self! There’s not just the immediate monetary benefit, but there’s also the lasting mental benefit as well. THAT’S a powerful combo and we want you to be thinking about both aspects when it comes to your money.During this episode we enjoyed a Bound by Time by Edmund’s Oast.

Whether men and women should handle their money differently is an important question to ask. There are a lot of different studies and surveys out there that show that your gender has a pretty large impact on how you earn, spend, save, and invest your money- but should it? After all money is money! And of course there are generalities made in these studies because obviously we’re all individuals and handle money in our own unique ways. But that being said, there are still things we can learn from the data about the views, tendencies, and actions of each gender in the realm of personal finance. Recognizing these things will allow us to understand others better, we’ll do a better job at raising our children to handle money well, and we might even gain a better insight of ourselves along the way.During this episode we enjoyed an On Cassette by New Anthem.
