Everyone's Talkin' Money

Want to know what the biggest budget buster is almost unanimously…it’s the money you spend eating out. We all know that January is always a time when you’re trying to figure out how to do a lot of things differently, maybe even better. And money, of course, is always at the top of the list. It’s been said that the only two ways to better your money situation are to 1) earn more, or 2) spend less. Easier said than done for sure. But I thought it was time to dive into eating out to understand why we all love to eat out and do it no matter how loud our bank accounts are yelling at us not to. Our guest, Katherine Spiers is the host of the Smart Mouth Podcast and a food history expert. Katherine believes the why behind eating out is simple…we’re all just plain exhausted. In this super fun episode, we talk about the history of eating out, how car culture lead to the fast food explosion and how that revolutionized how much money we spend eating out, and other fascinating trends in eating out that will give you some good trivia questions at your next dinner party. If you love eating out as much as I do, you’ll love this episode. Let’s start talkin’. LINKSSmart Mouth PodcastHow To Eat LASPONSORSThanks to ShipStation for sponsoring the show.

This Ask Shannah 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."LINKSCreditcards.comCredit KarmaNerdWalletCredit SesameShould I Close My Credit Card articleSPONSORSThanks to Masterworks for sponsoring the show.

Did you know that passive income is one of the best ways to build wealth? It sounds pretty good, but passive income also has some flaws. The problem is when most people talk about passive income it isn’t actually passive income, like buying a business where you actually have to work. The true definition of passive income is to have money coming in when you aren’t working, aka when you’re sleeping money is flowing into your bank account. That sounds pretty great to me. But how do you actually build passive income? That’s where our guest, Chris Miles the Cash Flow Expert and Anti-Financial Advisor comes in. He has used his passive income skills to become financially independent twice and paid off over $1,000,000 in debt after the last recession without filing for bankruptcy. In this episode, Chris is sharing how to create multiple streams of passive income on virtually any budget, why traditional financial advice sucks, and why true wealth can’t come from a scarcity mindset of saving and only contributing to your retirement accounts contrary to what the Dave Ramsey’s of the world spews to millions of people. You won’t want to miss Chris’ very candid take on this. This episode will have you thinking outside the box when it comes to building wealth, and as always, take what works for you and leave the rest. Let’s start talkin’.

Let me tell you an investing story that makes the hairs on my arms stand up. I had been great at investing in a 401K from age 24 to 34. It was my ex-husband’s 401K, but he was the one with the great company match (aka free money). That account grew to $150,000. But then we got divorced and that account vaporized. Get this though, if we had kept that account, and contributed just $15,000 each year over the last 10 years, earning 10% on average that account would be worth close to $800,000 now. Heartbreaking, but the moral of the story is that investing works, but it isn’t always sexy. That sentiment is echoed by our guest, Tori Dunlap, author of Financial Feminist, host of the Financial Feminist podcast, and creator of Her First 100K. Tori believes that If you’re scared of the stock market and the fluctuations, the answer is to be patient and view investing as a long-term practice and you will be rewarded. As Tori says, for every 20-year time period that you are invested in the stock market your chances of seeing a return on your investment is 100%. Those are pretty good odds. In this episode, we talk about how to manage fear when it comes to investing, ways to develop an investing mindset, and how to get started investing and building wealth on any budget. We’re going jargon free on this episode, so join Tori and me as we guide you away from fear toward your goal of investing this year. Let’s start talkin’.

How much do you hate budgeting? A lot, I know. In this Ask Shannah episode, I’m breaking down how you can create an annual spending plan with ease and ditch your budget altogether. We've got an Ask Shannah question from Michelle that has inspired this episode. Michelle says, "Hey Shannah, thanks for this podcast. It is such comforting to hear your voice each week and I love all the different topics you cover. The episodes always make me think about my money and life from a different perspective. Ok, I’ve got a question for ya. I really hate budgeting and I know you’ve talked about what you do as well. You did an episode on creating a spending plan and I’m wondering if you could dive back into that topic. It’s the new year and I really want to figure out how to set myself up from the start. I’ve got the normal rent, car payment, car insurance, student loans, and a couple of credit card payments, but I also love to travel, I’m saving to buy a new car at the end of the year, I am in a fun and cheesy bowling league and need to have enough for our fees and equipment, I love to cook and eat out, you know, I’ve got stuff. So how do I figure it all out? Thanks so much again.”SPONSORSThanks to Masterworks for sponsoring the show. To get priority access go to masterworks.art/mymoney.

In this episode, Adam shares how you can be completely debt free within 3-5 years (crazy, I know, but possible), a mindset shift you need to get out of debt, how to balance paying off debt while saving and investing, and how to find financial freedom this year. As always, if you’re in debt, I want you to know that there’s nothing wrong with you. This is a shame-free zone. Listen, take what works for you, and let’s get to blasting away your debt.

What does it take to set and achieve your money goals in 2023? Hint, it requires new intentions, habits, rituals, systems, and a good money mindset to make it work. You and I both know that it is easy to set goals, but super super super hard to actually achieve them. Between your mind talking you out of the possibility to achieve a goal and factors in life that we can’t control like the economy it can feel like you’re swept up in a tornado and you can’t get your footing. Let’s change that! Andrew Giancola, the host of The Personal Finance Podcast, and I decided it would be fun to do a cross-over episode talking all about how to achieve your goals.  In this episode,  Andrew is sharing his daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly money routine system to jumpstart your goals and an important lesson that should free you up a bit when you think about goals. Andrew says, “failure is part of setting goals. No one is perfect when it comes to goals, but as long as you get closer to the goal you are going to feel happier and more fulfilled and lower your stress and anxiety. So now is the time to set big goals, start dreaming, and break them down into small actionable steps.”  Are you ready to make 2023 your best year yet and go from dreaming about your goals to bringing them to life?
