S1 Ep 163EP 163: The Art of Financial Harmony: Balancing Luxuries, Investments, and Philanthropy.

Have you ever wondered why you have an abundance of resources, both financial and otherwise, yet there are so many others that are struggling? Have you ever wondered why you might have a nice car, yet others in your community are walking?  Have you ever wondered why you are not lacking in any material things, yet there arethose in your community and in the world that are hungry everyday?When it comes to luxuries and giving, it's about finding joy in what we have and making choices that align with our values. Instead of a strict budget ratio, let's think about intentionality. Before indulging, ask yourself, "Will this truly add value to my life?" and "could the resources that I am spending on this luxury be a part of the greater good?”  Also, a good rule of thumb to follow is to give first.  If you give first, then use your money to plan and prepare for the future, most of us then feel much betterabout indulging in luxuries.  Another valuable exercise is to practice purposeful thankfulness.  When are acknowledge the blessings and gifts in our lives, it sometimes creates more generosity in our hearts, it sometimes reduces or eliminates a desire to indulge in luxuries, or it can even give us a the peace to know that it is ok in that point of our lives.If you have any financial questions, email [email protected] or simply visit www.weeklywealthpodcast.com/schedule-a-chat

S1 Ep 137Ep 138: FIRE your financial advisor if they don't.......

Three questions that financial advisors SHOULD be asking are:HOW ARE YOU? Financial health is very important, but as a financial advisor, I believe that financial, spiritual, relational, physical, and mental health are all related. In many cases struggles in one of these areas could cause struggles in others.What do YOU want? Many financial advisors assume that their clients want to retire "as early as possible" or make other assumptions. Remember, a fiduciary advisor has an obligation to help the client to meet the client's goals, so it is crucially important to ask the right questions. How would YOU like for me to communicate with you? Some clients want "big picture" level details and other clients want for extremely detailed oriented explanations. Some clients like to communicate virtually and others like to communicate in person.Don't forget to visit:www.weeklywealthpodcast.comTake the Valuebuilder Score Assessment at www.allofmyassets.com/value-builder-scoreTo set a time to speak with David about YOUR financial future, go to www.weeklywealthpodcast.com/contactus#weeklywealthpodcast #financialindependence #financialadvisor #certifiedfinancialplanner #money #moneymindset #fireyourfinancialadvisor

S1 Ep 135Ep 135: BACK TO SCHOOL: Why your kids might end up being poor.

If you are like me, you have children and you want them to be financially successful and have minimal financial stress. This episode talks about some ideas that schools should implement into their curriculums and, if they don't then parents should teach their children these concepts. 1. Personal accountability - we have a lot more control over our financial successes (and failures) than we might think that we do. Our decisions matter. 2. Basic financial literacy - we should all know what the basic financial tools are and how to use them to our benefits. 3. Income - expenses MUST equal greater than zero. In addition to spending less, this topic talks about how we can all increase our incomes. 4. Be very careful about college decisions - if you must borrow money for school, make sure that you are picking a career that offers the earning potential that will allow you to pay off the loans. #backtoschool #teenagers #money #schoolisback #financialliteracy Email [email protected] with questions or comments.
