In this episode of Everyone's Talkin' Money, I'm back with another fascinating topic: home buying in today's market and whether it's a good time to buy real estate. I was walking around my neighborhood this morning and was blown away by the number of people selling, buying, and remodeling houses. I was thinking there’s so much talk about high-interest rates and how expensive housing prices have gotten, but it doesn’t seem to be deterring anyone from going about their normal buying, selling, and remodeling home business. So then I thought, if you’re looking to buy your first home, is there ever a “right” time to buy? Lucky for us, Bianca D’Alessio, who is the Ranked #1 Real Estate Broker in New York and New York State and #14 in the Nation for 2022, manages a $10B real estate portfolio for Nest Seekers International and is the Star of Selling the Hamptons on Max(formerly known as HBO) is our guest. You'll learn:
How to pave your way to first-time home buying in this market
How to be competitive when buying
Why lenders are more concerned about your credit card debt than your student loan debt
If the Airbnb market is really a bust
Why staying in your home for 10+ years is probably the best investment you’ll ever make
Oh, and we’ll also talk some dirt about Selling the Hamptons

In this Ask Shannah episode of "Everyone's Talkin' Money," I'm diving into the debit vs. credit cards debate. We explore the similarities between the two - they both have logos like Visa or Mastercard and can be used for in-store or online purchases. But when it comes to safety, things get interesting. Gas stations, for example, can be risky spots for credit card scammers. That's why using a credit card is generally safer here, as it offers more protection against potential bank account drain. However, personal preference and money habits should also come into play. You'll learn how to figure out what card is right for you. Episode Timestamps: [00:02:30] Recognize and accept the current relationship with money. Use a debit card securely. Avoid unsecured internet connections for purchases and bank account checking. [00:03:22] "Protect network, guard numbers, prevent credit fraud." [00:08:25] Debt doesn't vanish; find a lighter way. [00:12:46] Use a debit card to avoid debt. [00:15:38] Credit cards automatically categorize expenses for you, allowing easy tracking and adjustments. Additionally, using them for monthly payments can earn rewards and bonuses. [00:17:44] Credit card cons: interest rates compound debt. [00:21:26] Credit card fraud protection: Quick and easy. [00:24:52] Gas station pumps are risky for card payments. [00:27:27] Credit card deposit for trips and car rentals.

Welcome back to the show to our short recap episode of yesterday’s full podcast, How to Self-Coach Yourself Through Money Drama So You Can Achieve Your Goals and Dreams, with Dielle Charon, certified life coach and 7 figure sales expert and host of the Black, Bnaked, and Booked out Podcast. If you don’t have 45 minutes to listen to the previous episode, you’re still going to love this one. Dielle walked us through her 5 money questions to ask yourself that will help you get into a better relationship with money, save more, spend better, and achieve your goals. My favorite question was, “How do I organize my money in a way that works for me.” I share a bit about my money-organizing system, so stay tuned to hear that. Honestly, my best advice is just to pick one or two questions and take some time to think about them, but don’t overwhelm yourself with all 5 questions right now. Alright, I’ll let Dielle walk you through them.

What if your thoughts create your results? That’s a powerful question for me. I’ve had a life-long relationship with negative thinking and creating my own money drama. It’s easy for me to think of something positive, but right behind it is a nagging negative thought - what if it doesn’t work out? What if I’m not good enough? What if it all falls apart? Do I really deserve this, etc.? Here’s the kicker, though, as our guest Dielle Charon, certified life coach and 7 figure sales expert, and host of the Black, Banked, and Booked out Podcast says - you’ve first got to have the courage even to put that big thought in your brain and help self-coach yourself to success. Now, Dielle is an entrepreneur powerhouse, and we start out the conversation by talking about her strong belief that entrepreneurship is the key to emancipation and why this matters. But whether you’re an entrepreneur, a 9-5 ‘er, or a stay-at-home parent, you’re going to find a lot of life-changing advice in this episode, including how to simplify your thoughts around money, the keys to self-coaching yourself, common money mindset blocks, 5 money questions to ask yourself right now, and ways to have both a profitable side hustle and a 9 to 5 job with ease, if that’s your jam.

So that’s the past – let’s look to the future and start thinking about buying clothes and building out your wardrobe from a place of value, as our fashionista guest Jennifer Mackay-Mary believes.

If you can relate, you’re going to love this episode.

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 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.

Debit card vs. credit card, which card should you use when? It may feel like plastic is plastic, but when it comes to your money, there are some distinct differences between a debit card vs. a credit card. In this Shannah Shares episode, I’m talkin’ when you use which card, how to maximize your benefits, and some key distinct differences.
This episode was inspired by a question from Marcus who wrote: Shannah, thanks for the show. I’m learning a lot and enjoying actually hearing about money every week. Your guests are rad, so thanks for that. I got into this debate with my fiance the other night about credit cards vs. debit cards and at the end of the debate we both realized that we really didn’t know when we should use each card. I thought I would come straight to you and see if you can help us figure it out. I currently have 2 credit cards and one debit card but I never know which one to pull out for day to day purchases and then for big purchases. Thank you again!

Alright, who are my sports fans? There are few things we all love more than sports. Being in a crowd at a game or having friends over and rooting for your fav team is simply the best feeling. And if you’re a sports fan you know that sports can be downright budget-breaking. According to a Lendingtree.com survey, sports fans will shell out an average of $664 this fall and 33% may take on debt to do so. Our guest on this episode is Matt Shulz, chief credit analyst for LendingTree, and he’s here to break down how to enjoy sports without going into debt and if you’re a parent, how to afford the sports your kid wants to play. He’s even got a super cool credit card tip that you need to know if you are in debt.As Matt says, “there are few things we love more than sports and in good times and bad times, we’re willing to spend money on sports as an escape to bring us together. Nothing quite unites like the love of sports.” So here’s to loving sports but doing so while balancing your money goals. Let’s start talkin’.

Have you ever wondered why we eat turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, and our favorite veggie dish for Thanksgiving? The Thanksgiving meal has evolved so much since the early 1900s and become the holiday we associate with eating until we can't eat anymore. In this Friendsgiving episode, I sat down with the amazing Katherine Spiers, host of the Smart Mouth Podcast, to find out the history behind the Thanksgiving meal and got to the bottom of our pumpkin-crazed eating trends. Katherine shares how Thanksgiving has evolved over time, how to make most out of your Thanksgiving on any budget, and the fascinating story behind the year of two Thanksgivings.

If you’ve ever seen a movie, read a book, or listened to a song, you know how important stories are. Stories are what root you in life and give a lot of context to who you are and what you do. On this show, we like to talk about the idea of your money story. Think of your money story as a collection of how you were raised, your views toward money, your beliefs, and all the things that have happened to you related to money. Your money story holds great power over your relationship with money and understanding your story is vital to you being able to live the life you want to live. Our guest, Christina Blacken knows a little something about money stories herself. She’s a public speaker, performer, and founder of The New Quo, a leadership development and inclusion consultancy helping leaders create inclusive cultural and organizational change through narrative intelligence. Christina says, “when you think about money, what are the negative ideas of beliefs that pop up? And when you start to list those out, you can surprise yourself with, wow, I have a very specific narrative around money and how it connects to my identity, self-worth, lifestyle, and the impact I’m having in the world.” In this episode, Christina will guide you through questions to help you unpack your narrative around money and figure out if your money truly lines up with your values so you can rewrite and reclaim your money story. Let’s start talkin’.

How good would it feel to take back control of your financial life and stop feeling so financially stressed? I’m hoping your answer is, “pretty awesome, but how do I do that?” According to our guest, Liz Davidson, CEO of Financial Finesse, a leading provider of unbiased financial wellness programs in the country, you have to start by getting financially well. Just like you take care of your mental health, you also need to give your money some TLC beyond spreadsheets and calculators. Believe it or not, just 23 years ago the term financial wellness didn’t exist until Liz coined it and started a revolution of looking at your money from a holistic perspective - for example, instead of isolating one goal that you have, you look at all your goals in terms of the entire vision you have for your money and life. This is what it means to take back control of your financial life. In this episode, Liz is sharing everything from what it means to be financially well and how you can get there, why you shouldn’t sacrifice money goals while paying off debt, how to prioritize your money goals going forward, and the power of unbiased money advice(yes, it does actually exist). We cover all this and so much more with Liz, who happens to be a big influence in my financial life and my career. There’s a lot of fangirling in this episode. Are you ready to take back control? Then, let’s start talkin’.

Is the paycheck worth the pain, that’s the question we’re diving into? Ok, friends, I’ve got a powerful money story to share with you from our guest Jaime Fiore Higgins, author of the new book, Bully Market: My Story of Money and Misogyny at Goldman Sachs in this episode that is going to rock your world. As I talked with Jaime it reminded me of a time in my own career, the only corporate job that I’ve had when I worked for a guy who let’s just say was not a good boss. I lost a part of my soul for that paycheck and told myself I would NEVER do that again. But my story isn’t unique. Maybe you have a story like mine where you struggled with the question, is the paycheck worth the pain? As our guest, Jaime says, “money is a sticky thing. We all need it but we don’t think about the sacrifices we make to earn it.” In this episode, you’ll hear the twists and turns of Jaime’s story, her advice to you if you’re in a similar situation, and the steps you can take to take back your power and see beyond the paycheck. This story is as juicy and important as it comes. Let’s start talkin’.

I often tell people that I’m allergic to fluorescent lights. It’s, of course, not actually true, but I’ve really only had one W-2 9-5 job in my life and have always been an entrepreneur and freelancer at heart. There are a lot of perks that come with freelancing like the ability to make unlimited money and of course working in your pj’s and grabbing snacks whenever you want. But, there are downsides to freelancing and being an entrepreneur. It’s often hard to get paid after you do your job. Most companies like to really drag out the payment schedule and that can leave you really feeling in pinch. With high inflation, so many freelancers are extra nervous as companies are trying to cut costs. Not to worry, our guest Tony Tran, is the CEO and co-founder of Lumanu, is a platform that democratizes the creator economy by allowing creators and freelancers like you to grow, collaborate, and thrive on their own terms. Tony shares how to get paid as a freelancer or creator, tax changes impacting freelancers, important deductions that you might not know about, and how to deal with the mental health side of freelancing and worrying about money. So all you side hustlers, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and creators, this episode is jam-packed with great information to set you up for money success. Let’s start talkin’.

On this episode of Shannah Shares, Community Q&A, I'm answering a question from Rachel:
“Hi there Shannah. I feel like you’re a friend but you don’t even know me. I’m a regular listener and I know you’ve featured so many authors on this show who have books. I’m curious what some of your favorites are. I feel like I need to create a bookshelf all about money so I can dig deeper into topics that I’m curious about. Thanks for this show, it’s helped me a lot. Just last year I was able to negotiate a 40% raise after being inspired by one of your guests, Jacqueline Twillie, and so many others that push me to know my worth. I seriously raised a glass to you for the inspiration.”

It’s time to get our therapy on in this episode. This is probably one of the most important episodes we’ve done because it hits at the heart of what we all feel about money - it’s stressful and causes a great deal of anxiety. There are countless studies that show that money is the #1 cause of stress and anxiety and most of us are left to figure out how to deal with it in a world where talking about money is still a taboo topic. As our guest, psychiatrist Dr. Ellen Vora, author of a new book called The Anatomy of Anxiety says, anxiety, it’s all in your head, right? Wrong. Money anxiety is a complex topic with many onion layers and as Ellen says, anxiety often begins first in our bodies. We dive into this complex topic of anxiety and talk about what goes on in your body when you’re anxious, how to make decisions when you’re feeling anxious, tips and techniques to manage your anxiety, and how to figure out what your money anxiety is actually telling us. Are you ready for a little financial therapy? Let’s start talkin’.

This special Halloween vault episode of Shannah Shares was inspired by a question from Brian and Tracey. They have friends who recently got a postnuptial agreement and are curious about how they work and if it makes sense for them.
As controversial as they might be, if you're thinking about a prenup or a postnup, the first place you should start is getting some education around these hot-button documents. Jennifer Guimond-Quigley is joining us on this episode to demystify what you need to know about prenups, and breaking down the differences between postnups in a fun and an easily digestible way (no crazy lawyer speak here, just a totally educational and enjoyable conversation).

Have you ever found yourself on a cold early November morning after waking from a turkey-induced tryptophan coma, standing outside the mall in your pj’s or whatever you can grab at 4:30 in the morning, waiting for a store to open on Black Friday and thinking, “is this really worth it?” I sure have, and although most of us do a majority of shopping online these days, I had a puzzling question that I needed to find an answer to, “is Black Friday dead, or should we really still care about this retail-related made-up shoppers “holiday” the Friday after Thanksgiving?”
Our pod friend, resident shopping expert, and accomplished lifestyle journalist and TV commentator, Trae Bodge, is here to answer this question and so many more for this special Black Friday shopping episode to kick off the holidays. We talk about what you can save the most on for Black Friday this year, how to financially survive the holidays with the rise in inflation, and how to cultivate a healthy mindset when all those Black Friday shopping headlines try to lure you into spending even more money, is Cyber Monday still a thing, and so much more. I’ll let Trae give you all the juicy Black Friday details. Buckle up and let’s start talkin’ and shopping.

I guarantee you’ll think about wine differently after this episode. You'll lean how to start investing in wine, what you need to know before you invest, what are the downsides of investing in wine, and why wine outperforms other alternative asset classes.

Have you ever wondered, “how do millionaires actually make millions?” Well, the first thing you need to do is focus on making millionaire money moves by cultivating a millionaire mindset and a set of values that help you move closer to that millionaire status. Our guest, Cedric Nash, has been dubbed “Your Millionaire Mentor'' largely because of his dedication to building generational wealth himself and teaching you and me how to do the same.
Cedric is a serial entrepreneur and investor who educates, inspires, and motivates wealth-building in the African American Community. He is the founder of The Black Wealth Summit annual event and is the author of two forthcoming books, “Why Should White Guys Have All the Wealth? How You Can Become a Millionaire Starting from the Bottom,” AND “The Millionaire Money Moves Supplemental Investment Guide.” Yep, there’s a reason why this Millionaire Money Mover jokes that he never sleeps. He’s sharing on this episode with you how to build that millionaire mindset, the millionaire money moves you should be making right now, and the power of building generational wealth, and we have an interesting discussion about why the idea of closing the racial wealth gap is flawed at its core. This is a good one, my friends, and you’ll leave inspired to start building wealth no matter the size of your bank account.

You’ve probably heard the saying, dogs are man’s and woman’s best friend. Well, I can tell you after getting our pup Winnie this year, that is for sure a true statement. We all know dogs are so much more than that, they are true family members. What is also true is that dogs can be an expensive investment. I don’t even want to tell you how much money we’ve already spent on toys and chews alone in the first 6 months of having Winnie, which I am sure all you dog parents can relate to.
So I thought it made sense to devote a whole episode to our furry best friends and explore dog ownership, the costs vs. investment. Our guest on this dogolicious episode is Krista Karpowich who owns Wag Out Loud and is the host of the Wag Out Loud pawdcast. The Wag Out Loud pawdcast is a show that helps us pet parents to be the best advocate for your dog’s health and wellness. She’s here to share everything she knows about dogs including how much money to spend on food, what to feed your dog, what kind of pet insurance she loves, how much money to devote to training, treats and toys, and so much more. Whether you have a dog or are looking to bring one into your life, this episode is for you.

In this Shannah Shares episode, I'm covering everything you need to know about Health Savings Accounts, aka HSAs. This episode was inspired by six listeners who all wanted to know if they should have an HSA. Also, there are a lot of questions about what exactly is an HSA, how one works, and how can you use it. I'm covering it all, including a conversation with Rida Wong from hsastore.com.

In this episode of Shannah Shares, Community Q&A, I'm covering tips to boost your credit score this fall. Our community question comes from Jackie:
"Hello, Shannah. I finally worked up enough courage to send in a question. I’d love to know any money tricks in general and how to boost my credit score. I’m really trying to get my money stuff (trying to avoid profanity there but you know what word I want to use) together this fall. My credit has been in the not-so-good place for a while, my fault totally, but I’ve decided I need to wise up and tackle this ASAP. Thank you again for this amazing podcast."

Can you have the best of both worlds - working a job that you love while being a successful real estate investor and building wealth? If you’re Rachel Gainsbrugh the answer is yes. Rachel was facing what so many of us face, huge student loans - I’m talking over $500K, and a passion to figure out a revenue stream that would help her create a life she didn’t need a vacation from. After a lot of research, Rachel found short-term real estate rentals, mainly through Airbnb, and was able to create a 15X revenue stream, which basically changed her life and her family’s. In this episode, we dive into Rachel’s story of success as she shares with you how to find the right properties for short-term rentals, how to avoid some of the biggest mistakes when it comes to real estate investing, and how to work a 9-5 job and still be a successful real estate investor. I hope this episode inspires you to think that if Rachel can do it, you can too. Let’s start talkin’.

Have you ever sat back and wondered, “what is the actual story of how and why money was created?” In every episode of this pod we’re talking about different ways to better your relationship with money and breaking down all the how-to’s and how not to’s with money. But, let’s take a step back from that if you’ll indulge me, and let’s look at why we even use money in the first place. I think you can certainly agree that money has messed us up - it’s divided us, it causes so much stress and fear, and money also has the power to create change and a lot of other good stuff. It’s a complicated story that our guest, Jacob Goldstein, author of the book Money: The True Story of a Made-Up Thing, former co-host of NPR’sPlanet Moneypodcast, and host of a new podcast called What’s Your Problemtook a deep dive into. Jacob’s new book is a must-read riveting story of money with all its twists and turns. I’m going to let Jacob tell you more, like the story of how Marco Polo uncovered that people were using paper money and how it changed everything, and so many other juicy details that we chat about. Let’s start talkin’.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever said these words, “I’m broke?” We throw the word broke around almost as much as we do with my least favorite words, “I’m fine.” What does it actually mean to be broke - my guess is a little something different for us all. As our guest, Dr. Melody Wright, founder of Broke on Purpose and Kinly’s Director of Financial Education says, “there’s a difference between being aimlessly broke and broke on purpose.” Broke on purpose is a choice you make proactively to help you pay off debt, buy that house you’ve been saving for, or any other money goal that means something to you. Melody has helped thousands of people stop being Aimlessly Broke, and transform their mindset, behaviors, and practices related to money, and she’s here to help you do that same thing in this thought-provoking episode. I’ll let Melody show you the way. Let’s start talkin’.

This Ask Shannah episode was inspired by a question from Nicole who wrote, “Shannah, I’m so thrilled to have found the Everyone’s Talkin’ Money podcast. You cover so many topics that I never knew I wanted to learn about and I’m always sharing them as you ask me to do with friends, so thank you. Ok, I’ve got a doozy of a question. My partner and I are always getting into fights over money. We’ve been together for 5 years now and are considering marriage but I’m pretty scared. We’ve gone to therapy about money but it feels like nothing changes. My partner and I both sneak and hide things we’re buying that we both know are bad. I’ve listened to a lot of your episodes on mindset and money trauma and I really get into them but then I have a hard time talking to my partner about what I learn and what I’m feeling. I don’t know, I just feel like all we’re doing is fucking up our relationship by letting money take such a front seat. Any advice and tips and anything else you can share I’d so appreciate it. I’m going to be bold and say that I’m sure I’m not the only one listening who is also letting money f-up the relationship.”

Did you know there is $195 billion of medical debt outstanding? And, in fact, medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy here in the U.S. If you’ve been to the hospital or even a Dr. recently you know, even with insurance, getting healthcare in the country means you often have to pay out of pocket in a big way.

We are human beings that all deserve to have affordable and accessible medical care. End of story. However, as our guest, Allison Sesso, Executive Director of RIP Medical Debt says, “the system wasn’t set up for your success in the first place.” Allison joins us on a riveting episode uncovering the who, what, when, where, and why behind medical debt and offers some great advice if you are currently in medical debt.

It’s been almost a year since my husband Jeff and I moved to the East Coast from Los Angeles. This last year has been a giant process of untangling a lot of stuff that I had gotten tangled up, including maybe even shockingly so, parts of my relationship with money. I want to ask you, are there parts of your relationship with money that need to be untangled? I was so excited to talk with our guest Angela McKinney, an additional recovery expert, somatic guide, and author of a new book Untangle: How to Create Big Possibilities Through Small Changes for this episode. Angela has a 3-Step mind-body system called The Untangle Method that she’s walking you through in this episode. We also chat about money trauma and ways to work through tangled-up money beliefs, behaviors, and patterns so you can break free and live a rich life.

Are these 5 investing taboos keeping you stuck?
In Today's Shannah Shares, Community Q&A vault episode, I tackle a question from Laquisha: "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."

Alright, raise your hand if you’ve tried budgeting, you’ve tried all the apps, and for whatever reason, you’ve decided that something must be wrong with you because it doesn’t work. Well, my friend, you aren’t alone. I too have tried my share of budgeting apps only to get frustrated at the process because I know that most traditional budgeting programs and apps are missing the golden key you need to actually be successful. They are all missing the psychology piece - aka a deeper dive into your thoughts, feelings, habits, beliefs, childhood money stories and so much more. I like to call it the gunk that actually matters when you’re trying to better your money situation. Well, I’m not alone. Our guest, Dani Pascarella is a Certified Financial Planner who previously worked on Wall Street and decided that she was fed up with traditional budgeting and decided to start OneEleven and create a budgeting app that focuses on the psychology of money. We talk about why money is the #1 cause of stress, why traditional budgeting is broken, steps you can take to ensure you achieve your money goals, and so much more. Let’s start talkin’ money.

Shannah Shares: 7 Ways to Stay Focused on Your Money Goals
In this Shannah Shares, Community Q&A vault episode, I'm sharing the 7 tips to help you stay focused on your money goals inspired by a question from 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, and saving $3,000 in 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 on 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. "

Being an entrepreneur myself, I’ve always known that the trickiest part of running your own business or starting your own side hustle is the money part. How do you get enough money to get up and running? You could borrow money from friends and a family, use your own cash, or look for investors who believe in your idea. In this episode, we’re talkin’ all about a different form of investing called angel investing and how women are using angel investing to bridge the gender gap in entrepreneurship and start some kick-ass businesses. Loretta McCarthy is the Co-Ceo and Managing Partner of Golden Seeds, one of the largest and most active angel investment networks in the US and by far the largest that invests in early-stage women-led companies.

Six letters – BUDGET – is probably one of the most despised combinations of letters in the English language, but that’s because you’re thinking about it all wrong. A budget isn’t a set-in-stone document that is some formal decree telling what you can and can’t spend your money on. In fact, in this episode, I'm giving you permission to throw out your budget with a few simple caveats and teaching you my easy 1-2-3 system for budgeting so you can stop stressing over money.

Are you struggling to finally break free from debt? In this Money 101 episode, I’m breaking down how to think about debt, strategies to pay it off, and why being completely debt-free should never be the goal. Just a quick note, this episode is not just for newbies. When I was a working financial planner I worked with people of all ages who just couldn’t figure out how to get a handle on debt. So, you are not alone if you’re struggling with debt. According to CNBC, the average American has over $90,000 in debt according to 2021 numbers. You'll learn the two strategies to pay off debt, how to deal with the emotions around debt, and a deep dive into my debt story.

Over the last few years, he’s dedicated himself to becoming debt-free and educates people just like you on how to do the same.

Women have been largely overlooked in money conversations and you know the stats, we earn less, live longer, and so much more. We definitely get the short end of the equality stick a lot. So it’s even more important, no, make that critical, that we as women learn how to have fiscal freedom. As our guest, Kimberlee Davis says, “ a lot of women don’t know what the heck is going on with their finances and don’t like to talk about it.” In Kimberlee’s new book, “The Fiscal Feminist”, she shares the must-know money lessons that every woman needs to know and holds her hand through some serious topics like divorce, prenups and postnups, and all those money topics that you’d rather hide from. Her message is that you need to become the CEO of your life. Join us for this inspiring episode that feels like a fun information overload, in the best way possible, and a wild ride with Kimberlee. Let’s get talkin’.

We're featuring one of my favorite vault episodes from 2018 that was a listener favorite. I hope you enjoy it!
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.
What You'll Learn
- We’ll chat about the crockpot method of savings
- Why a crockpot method might make more sense than microwaving your savings
- Focus on saving little by little over time with consistency so whenever you reach the age you would like to quit working, your investments and savings have spent some time “cooking together.”
- 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 (just pretend it’s in USD)

Have you ever been curious about franchising? There smart ways to invest in a franchise, you just need to know how to find the right one. I’ve been super excited about this episode because, believe it or not, in 875 episodes I’ve never talked about franchising. I have to admit, I had some preconceived notions about franchising, but I’m happy to say that they were blown out of the water after this conversation. For the past 20 years, Kim Daly has been helping people realize their dreams of business ownership through franchising - and I’m not just talking about all those fast food chains you drive by every day. The franchising business goes way deeper and Kim’s job is to help you figure out what franchise aligns with your life goals. This episode is an inspiring story that could help you build wealth and achieve your dreams in a business model that my guess is you might not have explored before. As I always say, everything with money deserves a listen and then you have the info to figure out whether it’s a fit for you. Kim’s awesome and I hope you’re ready to get seriously educated about franchising. Let’s get talkin’.

Yes, it is possible to invest in real estate and earn passive income on any income. If you’re active on social media, you may have heard of Rachel Richards and her brand Money Honey. Rachel has been on the show in the past, however, in this episode she's sharing her story about getting started in real estate investing. The truth is Rachel isn’t a trust fund baby and actually never made six figures in a job. She found creative ways to save money and was saving half of her salary to ramp up to her first investment all with less than 20% down. Rachel is a great example of bringing intentionality to your money so you can achieve a money goal. In her 20’s she decided rental real estate was her means to generate passive income and essentially retired in less than 2 years. In her story, I hope you find a bit of yourself and motivation so that you can create your own version of Rachel’s passive income success. In this vault episode, we talk about what it means to have financial freedom, how to think about passive income, how to get into real estate investing, how much money you need, how to spot a good deal, and so much more.

The question I get asked the most is, "how much money should I save for retirement." In this solo episode, I'm sharing 4 steps to figuring out how much money you save during your working years for retirement. There are endless calculators, blogs, and even podcasts that seek to answer this question. However, figuring out how much you need is a little more complex than completing a simple calculator. It all starts with visioning your future and understanding how much cash you'll need each year. From there, you can walk backwards into a target number that is right for your life. In this solo vualt episode, I'm sharing 4 keys to figuring out how much money you save during your working years for retirement.

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. Bobbi is here to share insights from her book on how to launch financial grownups, money lessons you need to know, and how to talk to your parents and kids all about money.

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. Let’s start talkin’ money.

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.

Ever had one of those late-night online shopping sprees that you just knew you’d regret in the morning? Our inner state of mind is so instrumental in shaping what we do and how we do it, that if we don’t manage our own mind and emotions in a healthy way, it’s almost impossible to make healthy choices. Those are powerful words by our guest, Dr. Cortland Dahl. In this reboot episode, you'll learn how to train your mind to step into financial well-being, aka how to be happy with your money, uncover the power of meditation, and walk away with wisdom to transform your money.
Dr. Cortland Dahl is the Chief Contemplative Officer at Healthy Minds Innovations and a Research Scientist at the Center for Healthy Minds ( at the University of Wisconsin-Madison). His current work focuses on studying the psychological and neural mechanisms of different families of meditation practice.

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. Let’s jump into the conversation.

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."

How would your life have changed had you learned about money in high school or even college? I know mine would, fingers crossed, be very different. Our guest in this episode, Jake Cousineau, is a high school teacher helping young adults better understand personal finance as well as the author of “How to Adult: Personal Finance for the Real World”. Inspired by his own lack of personal finance knowledge, Jake poured himself into creating a curriculum for his students that would be life-changing and decided to detail it all in his new book. As Jake says, “the best time to fix your money problems is right now, no matter what age you are.” In this episode, Jake is sharing his best personal finance tips to help you move from being reactive with your money to proactive so you can avoid so many money pitfalls and rebound from any money mistakes you might have already made. We all need to foster this skill for sure! I’ll let Jake tell you more. Alright, let’s get talkin’.

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.

Stuart shares the right way to value assets, how to negotiate with colleges, why you shouldn’t respond to college offers too soon, and how to file the FAFSA the right way.

If you’re one of the 43 million student loan borrowers in the U.S. right, my guess is you’re thinking, WTF is going on. Student loans for many borrowers have been on pause due to the pandemic and are set to resume on August 31, 2022…if things don’t change, and they might. And what about that $10K student loan forgiveness…who knows. Since I don’t have a crystal ball, I can’t tell you what is going to happen, however, our guest on this episode, Robert Farrington, America’s Student Loan Debt Expert™ and the founder of The College Investor shares his thoughts on how this whole thing will shake out. Robert is also talking about the power of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program that 25% of borrowers qualify for, how to make sure you’re on the right payment plan, what to do to prepare for when loans do get resumed, the future of student loans, and so much more. Alright, let’s start talkin’ money.

If you’ve been listening for a while now you know how passionate I am about helping understand that money success is not just about the how-tos.

She is also the creator and co-host of the award-winning MoneyTrack investor-education television series seen nationally on PBS and Friends Talk Money podcast.

In this episode, Pam shares her method for understanding how you can build money confidence starting today so money can flow through your life in a way that actually moves you forward. Yes, go ahead and put this episode on repeat cause it’s worth a second, third, and fourth listen. Let’s get talkin’.

This is a special reboot episode. Imagine this...a bunch of really smart people sitting around and deciding to invent a financial product that would democratize investing and save investors like you and me billions of dollars in fees. And thus the invention of the Index Fund - probably the most popular way to invest today. Our guest, Robin Wigglesworth, has written this phenomenal and insightful book called Trillions: How a Band of Wall Street Renegades Invented the Index Fund and Changed Finance Forever. Whether you are a newbie to index funds or a seasoned pro, Robin is going to share with you the incredible power of index funds, what the heck they are, and why he believes being a little bit lazy is the key to building wealth and financial success.

Raiseyour hand if you are as much of an HGTV junkie as I am? During the pandemic, I think I wore out HGTV watching every single show, and sometimes on repeat. I think if I had to choose another career I would want to be an interior designer, I just love learning how to cultivate unique spaces. That’s why I was so excited to chat with our guest, Brea Elles. Brea is a design and construction specialist and is on the upcoming HGTV show, “Buy It or Build It”, creating and shaping interiors empathetic to each family’s lifestyles. And yes, I did totally geek out. Brea is such a unique and special human who is sharing all her tips on how to remodel your home on a budget. We talk about why Brea says you should ask yourself why 7 times - why do I want to remodel my kitchen, why do I think I want an open kitchen, why do I want to do this remodel now, etc. She also shares why you should spend money on the items in your house that you have an emotional connection to and that are going to make you feel happy when you’re in your house. We talk about how to save money when you’re remodeling, easy changes that will get you the best bang for your buck, how to create a home that truly feels authentic no matter what your budget is and so much more.

If you’re wondering, what do I need to do to get my money sh*t together, you are in the right place. This is a very special episode that was recorded live on the Fishbowl app with some of my very favorite guests.
In this live conversation, I talk with Amanda Holden, our investing guru, aka Dumpster Doggy and creator of the Invested Development course, Rachel Richards, the queen of passive income and author of Money Honey, Jacqueline Twillie, the master negotiator, Ceo of Zerogap and author of Don’t Leave Money on the Table, and Whitney Hansen, money coach extraordinaire and host of the Money Nerds podcast.
There is so much to learn and take away. One small disclaimer before we dive in…this was a live recording on an app, there are some occasional mic noises, etc., but we’ve done our best to smooth those out so you can sit back, grab a fav beverage and listen to these amazing women dispense life-changing money wisdom.

Hey, ETM listeners, great to have you back for this episode that is guaranteed to put money back in your wallet. So I love to travel and hope to get back to traveling, but when I do I always check comparison sites like Kayak or Expedia and Tripadvisor to find the best deals, because you know I love to have fun while saving money. Why not do the same for your car insurance. This episode might feel like I’m trying to force-feed you your veggies, but I promise that talking about car insurance with Nicole Beck, Head of Communications at The Zebra will change how you feel. Nicole shares the four biggest factors that go into what you pay, why having the cheapest policy isn’t always the best, when to shop for new insurance, how to save money right away, and what the heck to do if you’re actually in an accident. You have full permission to hit the pause button and grab your car insurance policy. This is one of those episodes where you’ll learn everything about car insurance that no one taught you.

Mastering money, building wealth, and getting ahead are hard enough even in the best circumstances. But the truth is we’ve seen discrimination be a factor in all sorts of money goals like getting loans for a house or even bank accounts when it comes to people of color and the LGBTQ community. Our guest, Jeff Underwood is as he says our wise-cracking gay best friend whose blog, Homo Money, is a fun and sassy personal finance site for the LGBTQ community. Jeff is sharing his super unique story about coming out of the closet personally AND financially and going from $10K in credit card debt to $800K in net worth. We talk about Jeff’s money story, his money transformation, the money discrimination that still exists in the LGBTQ community, and loads of money tips to find money in your bank account that you can use to pay off debt, start investing and build wealth.

Formally the Millennial Money podcast, Everyone’s Talkin’ Money is the place to learn all those things about money that no one ever taught you.
See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
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. "

I think the burning question we all have is how to build sustainable wealth. Building wealth is great, but maintaining it and sustaining it is a whole other conversation. Look at the statistics behind lottery winners. According to the National Endowment for Financial Education, about 70 percent of people who win a lottery or receive a large windfall go bankrupt within a few years. So you've got to know the keys to building wealth, and then keeping that wealth.
Akeiva Ellis is a financial planner and educator. She works as the Financial Education Specialist at Ballentine Partners, a financial planning firm serving high net worth individuals and families. She is also the founder of The Bemused, a financial education brand catering to young adults. In this episode, Akeiva’s sharing her 6 step MUSICAL method to building and sustaining your wealth.

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. Thanks again, Richard.”

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. "

What would the world look like if women had money rights from the start of time? I would imagine a very different world. Women have been pushing their way into equality for years. It was just 1963 when the Equal Pay Act was passed and1974 when the Equal Credit Opportunity Act made it illegal for credit card companies to discriminate against women. If you are a woman listening you know we still have a long way to go, but thanks to these 5 female pioneers our future is brighter. In this episode, in honor of International Women’s Day, I’m highlighting 5 historical women who have changed money and the takeaways you can apply to your life right now.

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 kiling, 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."

I will be the first to admit that Valentine’s Day is most definitely a Hallmark holiday. I’ve spent many a Valentine’s Day myself buried in a box of chocolates at home pretending my cat, Sofi, was my date. But showing someone you love, even just like them, is about more than a day. And let’s be real, dating, wooing, courting, falling in love, whatever you want to call it, it can be expensive. In this episode, Kristin Myers, Editor in Chief of The Balance is here to share the best ways to afford the cost of dating. BTW, in a recent study they did at The Balance, millennials spend on average $69 for first dates, yes, really! Kristin is also sharing how to create a perfect date for a fraction of the price when you should talk about money with your honey and the impacts of inflation on your wallet. Plus, we both get a little personal sharing some of our favorite dating stories. This episode is sure to make your heart swell.

What does it take to become a seven-figure female entrepreneur? My guess is if you’re listening to this episode you are really intrigued by the idea of looking at your bank account and seeing those seven figures hanging out. I’m with you, that sounds like one happy day. Our guest, Eleanor Beaton, is the founder of a company called SafiMedia, an education & coaching company for women entrepreneurs, host of the Power + Presence + Position podcast, and Eleanor is on a mission to double the number of women entrepreneurs who scale past $1M in revenue by 2030. I like the sounds of that! So how do you get there? In this episode, Eleanor shares how to make the leap from six-figures to the illustrious seven-figures, how to reframe your idea of wealth, and why as women, making money truly is power. The hairs on my arms are still standing up from this conversation. No matter which gender you may identify with, you’re going to learn a lot from our brilliant guest, Elenor Beaton on this powerful episode.

Learning to tame your money anxiety takes some practice. I’m a big fan of this episode because I will be the first to raise my hand and shout, “I have money anxiety.” Our guest, Emily Rose, is here to enlighten us all on this topic of money anxiety. Emily is a school psychologist, yoga teacher, author of the journal Write it to Right it, and also runs the blog, MissMagnoliaSays.com. As Emily says, we all have anxiety around money, but for each of us, that looks a little different. Our biggest anxieties tend to come from the comparison trap - you know the “shoulds.” We’re all familiar with the “shoulds,” right? I should know how to invest, I should do this with my money, I should have a good credit score or I should own a house right now. It’s completely normal to run through the laundry list of things you should’ve done. In fact, Emily’s overall message is that having anxiety is actually normal. See, we all have anxious thoughts around money and that’s ok. In this episode, Emily helps you understand how anxiety might be showing up for you, ways to recognize those anxious thoughts, and some practical exercises to help you when you feel your money worries bubbling to the surface.

On this episode of Shannah Shares, Community Q&A, I'm answering a question from Rachel:
“Hi there Shannah. I feel like you’re a friend but you don’t even know me. I’m a regular listener and I know you’ve featured so many authors on this show who have books. I’m curious what some of your favorites are. I feel like I need to create a bookshelf all about money so I can dig deeper into topics that I’m curious about. Thanks for this show, it’s helped me a lot. Just last year I was able to negotiate a 40% raise after being inspired by one of your guests, Jacqueline Twillie, and so many others that push me to know my worth. I seriously raised a glass to you for the inspiration.”

Taxes are one of those things that we just can’t avoid. And it always feels like tax time comes around awfully fast. Every year you send in more and more questions about all things taxes, so I decided to bring in an expert to answer them all. We recently did an episode all about side hustles and taxes, but in this episode, Enrolled Agent and Certified Financial Milton Rodriguez is back on the show to share his tips on what you need to know to file your taxes this year. In this episode, Milton tackles all of our tax questions including tax changes this year, tax credits you need to know about, how to uncover deductions that will save you money, what to do if you invested in crypto, and how to start planning for tax time.

In a time when inflation is running wild, rent prices are surging, loads of money have been printed, and the world is changing rapidly, Bitcoin has emerged as a new hard currency that is gaining some serious legitimacy. Experts have said Bitcoin could trade at $1,000,000 by 2030, regardless of where Bitcoin is headed, what I can tell you is that digital currency is certainly something to learn more about. Our guest, Paul McNeal, is a tour de force when it comes to Bitcoin. Paul has been aware of Bitcoin since 2011 and he has methodically followed it daily. Paul pulls together the most relevant news articles, blog posts, videos, podcasts, and social media mentions to create "Crypto Watch' a daily brief sent before 9 AM EST. By the end of this episode, you’ll learn what Bitcoin is, who created it, why are we having wild swings, how much is Bitcoin going to be worth, and the question you really want to know is, do I need to invest in Bitcoin.

In this special reboot 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, 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."

In a recent article on CNBC, more than half or 51% of Americans have less than three months' worth of emergency savings.The pandemic has definitely made a mark on savings, and in my opinion, really shown that you need more than 3 months worth of savings in your “all hell broke loose” fund. However, saving more money is often times difficult. What about making more money? In this episode, you'll learn about another idea to create passive income. Rachel Richards, who has been on this show before for her rental real estate empire, has also has built a substantial monthly income from her book sales on Amazon. Even if you don’t profess to be a writer, surely there is something you have to share - a skill, a talent, an idea, etc. Rachel’s here to pull back the curtains and share the behind-the-scenes story of how she built a cash-flowing self-publishing side hustle in just a few years, and how you can do the same.

The question I get asked the most is, "how much money should I save for retirement." In this solo episode, I'm sharing 4 steps to figuring out how much money you save during your working years for retirement. There are endless calculators, blogs, and even podcasts that seek to answer this question. However, figuring out how much you need is a little more complex than completing a simple calculator. It all starts with visioning your future and understanding how much cash you'll need each year. From there, you can walk backwards into a target number that is right for your life. In this solo episode, I'm sharing 4 steps to figuring out how much money you save during your working years for retirement.

Welcome back to another episode of Shannah Shares, Community Q&A where I tackle your listener questions. Today’s question comes from Reisha.
“Hi Shannah. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my question. I really want to make 2022 better than the years prior. I’ve had a lot of anxiety and stress around money and just started realizing it after listening to your podcast. I always wondered why I would get so stressed out when I looked at my bank account, or when my credit card balance wasn’t decreasing so much, but then I would go and spend more money and get even more anxiety. It’s crazy to me that we do those sorts of things as humans. I do have a good job and make what most might consider a good income. But, things fall apart for me every month. I always think I will end up with more money left, which I don’t. I always think that I will just wake up one day and suddenly not be so stressed or anxious about money or my future, but I don’t. I heard you say in one episode a year or so back that you have to first make peace with your money situation before you can move forward. I actually wrote that down in the notes on my phone and keep coming back to it. Can you give me some tips and thoughts, things to journal about, anything really that can help me move towards peace? I really don’t want to spend the rest of my life stressed out about money when if you look at my take-home pay, I shouldn’t. I imagine someone else out there is feeling the same way. Actually, maybe we’re all ready to make peace. I think that’s what I love about this show, you always make me feel special and your non-judgemental approach is so heartwarming. Seriously, thanks. Ok, I know this is a big question, but would love your thoughts.”
Episode Mentions
Here are the journal questions mentioned in this episode.
- What emotion/s are you holding on to about money?
- In what ways do you feel like money keeps you stuck?
- How have you attached your identity to money?
- In what ways did your parents, or whoever raised you, talk about money?
- If money didn’t exist, how would your days, weeks, months, years change?

Welcome back to another episode of Shannah Shares, community Q&A. In this episode, I’m tackling a question from a MMP listener, Susanna.
“Hi there, Shannah. I’ve been listening to the show for a while now and finally got up enough nerve to ask a question. I’m new at a company and looking all over the workplace benefit options has my head spinning. I don’t know how to place any value on what I’m being offered, or really, what to pick. I’m also really thinking about money lessons from the pandemic and how that shapes my benefits - like hello mental health benefits. Also, I know I just started working for this company but I’m also considering making a big life change and start building my own business. Of course, if I do that, I loose out on all the juicy benefits…but again, I don’t even really know if those are of value. Ok, so you see, I’m lost here. I’d love to hear any tips from you or experts who can help guide me in valuing all of this and thinking about takeaways from the pandemic. Oh, also, any tips for deciding if it’s worth leaving these benefits behind because they can also be expensive.Thanks so much for answering my question.”
I had a chance to speak with Marquis Smallwood, Vice President of Workforce Engagement at MetLife and Marsha Barnes, CEO of The Finance Bar, who deal with workplace benefits on a daily basis about this very question. Let’s hear their advice on how to know what benefits work for you and how to value those benefits.

It’s time to set some money intentions for the year that you can achieve, that will change your life, and that will have you looking back at 2022 in awe of all the amazing things you’ve done. I'm walking you through my process of creating money intentions to jumpstart the new year off right in this special end of the year episode.

Learning how to invest in stocks requires one rule - that you throw out the old rules and learn the new way to build wealth. Our guest, Joe Percoco, and his business partner, Clay Gardner, were frustrated that millennials only had two options for investing: buying and selling stocks themselves or investing in a market-weighted index. So they decided to create a third option. Joe is the co-founder and co-CEO of Titan, a fintech startup whose aim is to become this century’s answer to Fidelity Investments. With 500% growth in the last 12 months, 30,000+ users, nearly 1 billion in assets under management and a recent valuation of $450 Million - backed by investors like Andreessen Horowitz, Kevin Durant, Odell Beckham Jr. and Will Smith - it’s safe to say that Titan is well on its way to ushering in a new capital order. In this episode, you'll learn how to make money according to Joe, the new rules to investing, how to align your investing choices with your ethics, and so much more.

This episode of Shannah Shares was inspired by a listener question from Selena:
"Hi, Shannah and everyone at Millennial Money. I was so excited to find your podcast last year in the midst of a very tough money year and really a tough year all around. I was feeling super down about my money and not being able to hit my goals. I just want to first say that you helped me get rid of some stress, sleep better, and hit my goal of fully funding my Roth IRA in 2020. This year, I wanted to go deeper, start stock investing, pay off some debt and get more of a money vision together, and I was like, let me see what my girl Shannah has to say. I’m so happy to report that I’ve checked all of those off my list even without making any additional money. Seriously, when you say we can do it, you actually mean it. I tell all my friends about this show. Ok, my question. I’m hearing a lot about inflation and the holidays and I don’t totally understand why I should care. I’m in my early 40’s and have heard stories when inflation was really high in the ’80s, I think, and there were lines for gas, getting a mortgage was super expensive, but what does it mean now and how will it impact this holiday season and I guess into next year. Thanks again for all you do…really, it makes a difference. Your friend Selena."
I was joined by Kristin Meyers, Editor in Chief of The Balance, to provide insight into how inflation is hitting wallets this year, what consumers can expect over Christmas, and tips and tricks on how to rethink holiday shopping.

In this episode of Shannah Shares, Community Q&A, I'm answering a listener question about how to deal with anxiety, stress, and depression around money.
"Hey Shannah, I love the podcast. Thanks so much for all that you do. I had a personal question that I'm hoping you'd be willing to share more about. I have a lot of anxiety around money. It feels overwhelming to me honestly. I've been depressed, but mainly just feeling like I stress out about everything around money. I know you say that you can't make good money decisions when you are stressed or anxious. Would you mind sharing some tips and a bit more about your story of struggling with money anxiety. I know you've mentioned it a few times on the show, you might've even had an episode, I just can't remember, but I really appreciate your honesty. It helps me feel not so alone. Thanks again for being the place where we all feel safe to talk about this stuff. It certainly isn't easy and I'm sure someone else feels the same way." Becca

We've got a BIG announcement and we need your help! We've made the decision to rename the show in 2022 to reach a bigger audience, be more inclusive, and grow the show to world domination status. If I'm honest, I'm quite nervous about this change but also really excited. Since you are the most important piece of this show I need your help to pick the name. We've spent months trying to find two good names that are available and really represent what this show is all about. I'd be honored if you could take a minute and head over to the survey below and let me know what you think the new name should be. I'll be doing a big reveal in January 2022 of what the new name will be. Nothing will change on your end - just a new name and a new logo, bigger guests, more money topics and so much more.

Saving money seems to be the Achilles heel for most of us. Either you can't seem to figure out how to get out of the endless paycheck-to-paycheck cycle or you are on the other end of the spectrum and saving so much that you're also not having a lot of fun in life. Saving money is one of the core personal finance principles but just like my guest, Jamila Souffrant, you have to figure out what you're saving money for in order to have fun with it.
Jamila, host of the Journey to Launch podcast and her husband set out with a big goal of saving $85K in one year and close to it in another year. Oh, and they have two children with another on the way. Jamila had a big goal of leaving the corporate world behind to forge her career in personal finance and to retire by the time she turns 40 in a few years. In this episode, Jamila shares her favorite saving money tips to help you achieve financial freedom.

Have you ever wondered why we eat turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, and our favorite veggie dish for Thanksgiving? The Thanksgiving meal has evolved so much since the early 1900s and become the holiday we associate with eating until we can't eat anymore. In this Friendsgiving episode, I sat down with the amazing Katherine Spiers, host of the Smart Mouth Podcast, to find out the history behind the Thanksgiving meal and got to the bottom of our pumpkin-crazed eating trends. Katherine shares how Thanksgiving has evolved over time, how to make most out of your Thanksgiving on any budget, and the fascinating story behind the year of two Thanksgivings.

Yes, it is possible to invest in real estate and earn passive income on any income. If you’re active on social media, you may have heard of Rachel Richards and her brand Money Honey. Rachel has been on the show in the past, however, in this episode she's sharing her story about getting started in real estate investing. The truth is Rachel isn’t a trust fund baby and actually never made six figures in a job. She found creative ways to save money and was saving half of her salary to ramp up to her first investment all with less than 20% down. Rachel is a great example of bringing intentionality to your money so you can achieve a money goal. In her 20’s she decided rental real estate was her means to generate passive income and essentially retired in less than 2 years. In her story, I hope you find a bit of yourself and motivation that you can create your own version of Rachel’s passive income success. In this episode, we talk about what it means to have financial freedom, how to think about passive income, how to get into real estate investing, how much money you need, how to spot a good deal, and so much more.

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. "

What does it take to become an everyday millionaire? If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me how to get to millionaire status, I’d probably be a multi-millionaire by now. Deacon Hayes, former financial advisor, founder of Well Kept Wallet, and author of You Can Retire Early, knows a thing or two about millionaire status. Over the last few years, he’s dedicated himself to becoming debt-free and educates people just like you on how to do the same. Recently, he became so inspired to teach you how to become an everyday millionaire that he wrote a rap song all about it.

Money and relationships can be tough. Over the last few years, there’s been a lot of chaos in the world. With money a constant source of stress, relationships are getting tested.

These two opposites, or really any money conflict in a relationship, can be tough to sort through. Dr. Shauna Springer is back to illuminate money and relationships and share insider secrets to thrive during conflict. Your relationship will thank you after this episode!
Shauna ‘Doc’ Springer is a best-selling author, frequently requested keynote speaker, and one of the world's leading experts on psychological trauma, military transition, suicide prevention, and close relationships.

This episode of Shannah Shares was inspired by a question from Brian and Tracey. They have friends who recently got a postnuptial agreement and are curious about how they work and if it makes sense for them.
As controversial as they might be, if you're thinking about a prenup or a postnup, the first place you should start is getting some education around these hot-button documents. Jennifer Guimond-Quigley is joining us on this episode to demystify what you need to know about prenups, and breaking down the differences between postnups in a fun and an easily digestible way (no crazy lawyer speak here, just a totally educational and enjoyable conversation).

In this episode, I'm covering everything you need to know about Health Savings Accounts, aka HSAs. This episode was inspired by six listeners who all wanted to know if they should have an HSA. Also, there are a lot of questions about what exactly is an HSA, how does one work, and how can you use it. I'm covering it all, including a conversation with Rida Wong from hsastore.com.

I know I’ve shared this with you before, but I bought my first house at 24 and honestly, had no idea what I was doing and probably had no business buying a house then. We just barely made the money work, which is never the best idea. But, here I am. It worked out ok. I want different for you. Our guest, real estate expert, Marina Shiferman, is changing the real estate game for everyone, women in particular. In this episode, Marina shares the insider secrets you need to know to buy and sell real estate, how to start investing in real estate, and everything from soup to nuts about the buying process and working with a realtor.
About Marina

She is a proud homeowner (a few times over) and founder of The Real Estate Queen Academy where she teaches women how to buy and own real estate correctly and with confidence, from the big ideas and concepts down to the specific steps and strategies.

The Community Q&A comes from Sheila who writes: "Well hi there Shannah, thanks for all the great money gems that you dish out on the show. You’ve really changed my life and I love listening to episodes over and over again because I always learn something else. This podcast is like my fun encyclopedia for all things money. That sounds bad - seriously this show is fun and educational. Ok, so I have a question. I’ve really been thinking about my debt and want to seriously tackle it. I know you’ve done a lot of episodes on this, but curious if there’s one that you could point me to. I’m trying to reframe how I’m thinking about debt too. I know you mention that not all debt is bad...I mean, is that true? I seriously hope it is because it feels really unrealistic to say that I will never have debt and that when I’m debt-free, I won’t have debt again. That just doesn’t make any sense. So I think the trick is to figure out how to pay it off with a strategy as you say and then have a good mindset about debt going forward. Anyway, I’d love to hear any guest again that you think has a good perspective on this whole debt thing. Please keep up the podcast...it’s honestly the reason why my finances are so together and it feels really good."
Take a listen to this episode featuring Michael Bovee and his take on debt. Michael is a debt expert and co-founder of Resolve a company that helps people in financial distress navigate their way to financial health. In this chat, Michael shares ways to pay down debt, the nitty-gritty about debt settlement, and the ins and outs of filing for bankruptcy. My rule is there is no room for judgment when it comes to debt – life happens, things happen, let this episode be a tool you can use if you or anyone you know find themselves making debt payoff a top resolution for 2020.

Tearing down 5 investing taboos on this episode of Shannah Shares, Community Q&A.
Today's question comes 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 kiling, 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."

In this episode of Shannah Shares, Community Q&A, I'm covering tips to boost your credit score this fall. Our community question comes from Jackie:
"Hello, Shannah. I finally worked up enough courage to send in a question. I’d love to know any money tricks in general and how to boost my credit score. I’m really trying to get my money stuff (trying to avoid profanity there but you know what word I want to use) together this fall. My credit has been in the not so good place for a while, my fault totally, but I’ve decided I need to wise up and tackle this ASAP. Thank you again for this amazing podcast."

This episode is your masterclass in everything you need to know about home owner's and renter's insurance. Steve Lekas, co-founder and CEO of Branch Insurance, is here to educate and demystify all things homeowner’s insurance. We talk about it all, how much insurance should you have, how to save money, and some fun tips including my very favorite insurance policy that you need to have in this episode
Steve got his start in insurance at Allstate to put himself through school at Kent State. A decade later he went on to build the first-ever online home insurance business at Esurance. After 18 years in the industry, Steve became increasingly frustrated with how broken insurance had become with lengthy processes and rising costs. Chasing down his entrepreneurial calling, Steve set out to right the wrongs of the industry by creating insurance that’s quick, easy, affordable, and built to do good. In August of 2019 Branch Insurance pioneered the quickest way to bundle home and auto insurance completely online and is now embarking on a national expansion.

Every Sunday I’m going to be answering your questions in these special Shannah Shares community Q&A episodes. Sometimes I’ll tackle a single question and sometimes it might be multiple questions, so keep tuning in.
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, 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."

Do you remember who talked to you about money? For most of us, the answer to that question is no one, really. In fact, a recent study by Quicken revealed that one-third of adults said no one taught them about money when they were a child and in turn, are twice as likely to delay talking to their own children about money until they are 18 or older.
Frustrated by this, Gregg Murset, CEO of BusyKid, decided to find a better way to talk to kids about money. Using technology, Gregg created My Job Chart, the first electronic chore/allowance platform to take advantage of our modern digital society. In this episode, Gregg shares practical ways to talk to your kids about money without fear. I wish this existed when I was a kid!

Look at the statistics behind lottery winners. According to the National Endowment for Financial Education, about 70 percent of people who win a lottery or receive a large windfall go bankrupt within a few years. So you've got to know the keys to building wealth, and then keeping that wealth.

She is also the founder of The Bemused, a financial education brand catering to young adults. In this episode, Akeiva’s sharing her 6 step MUSICAL method to building and sustaining your wealth.

On the road to financial independence and wealth you have to look at where big money is moving, and as our guest Michael Weisz, President of Yieldstreet says, it’s moving away from the traditional investing model. Michael believes that access to quality alternative investment opportunities (aka what the big money is investing in) is fundamentally broken and his company Yieldstreet is here to fix that for investors like you and me. In this conversation you’ll learn what an alternative investment is, why they matter, ways to truly diversify your portfolio and so much more. I’m so excited for this conversation

As our guest, Stacey Gordon brilliantly says, dismantling unhealthy bias in the workplace involves much more than talking about it, and more than charts, graphs, and statistics—it requires action. Now is the time to take action. Stacey, who is the CEO of Rework Work and author of the book Unbias, will transform your thinking about what it means to have bias, how bias shows up in your work life and home life, and why bias can ultimately have an impact on your bank account.

Your parents, or the person who raised you, had a big influence on how you deal with money today. There were probably some good, and some not-so-good money habits and messages you picked up along the way. Maybe your parents never even talked about money. Whatever messages you received had a big impact on your money success. The good news is there’s a lot you can do about it, and we're going to talk about it all in this episode.

There are some money secrets, tricks, and everyday money advice that I think you really need to know. This episode originally aired in early 2021, but now that we’re mid-year, it’s a good time for a refresh. The fact is, no one really talks about these money secrets. If they do, they're brushed over because most people assume you already know these money essentials. Not in this episode! I’m sharing the top 13 money secrets that no one teaches you but you should know.

Renting has a bad reputation. You might have heard the idea of “throwing away” your money if you’re renting. I get it, but today’s guest, Jonas Bordo, CEO and Co-Founder of Dwellsy has a different idea about renting.
Jonas is CEO and co-founder of Dwellsy, the free residential rental marketplace that makes it easy to find hard-to-find rentals. He’s been in real estate in one way or another throughout his career and really believes that you can both rent and achieve financial freedom. In this episode he’s sharing why renting might just be the path to financial freedom, how to negotiate like a pro, how to know when you should rent or buy, and so much more.

If you’re wondering, what do I need to do to get my money sh*t together, you are in the right place. This is a very special episode that was recorded live just a few weeks ago on the Fishbowl app with some of my very favorite guests.
In this live conversation, I talk with Amanda Holden, our investing guru, aka Dumpster Doggy and creator of the Invested Development course, Rachel Richards, the queen of passive income and author of Money Honey, Jacqueline Twillie, the master negotiator, Ceo of Zerogap and author of Don’t Leave Money on the Table, and Whitney Hansen, money coach extraordinaire and host of the Money Nerds podcast.
There is so much to learn and take away. One small disclaimer before we dive in…this was a live recording on an app, there are some occasional mic noises, etc., but we’ve done our best to smooth those out so you can sit back, grab a fav beverage and listen to these amazing women dispense life-changing money wisdom.

NFTs are cashing in multi-million-dollar paydays for artists, news outlets, concert promoters, and seemingly everyone in-between, every day.

In this episode, AI technology entrepreneur Kenneth Kuo and Steelers’ linebacker Cassius Marsh are demystifying NFTS and sharing the power of NFTs as a collectible.
Cassius and Kenneth are the founders of Ownr, a full-service NFT creative and distribution company. Their mission: make sure the NFT subject sees the profits for the use of their likeness.

FSAs and HSAs have been a hot topic in recent months due to multiple legislative changes regarding deadlines and product eligibility. All of these changes have the potential to impact you if you don't fully understand them. Let’s get in the know with Rida Wong, President of Health-E Commerce, and understand the amazing financial benefits of HSAs and FSAs.
Get this -More than 70 million Americans are currently enrolled in a flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA) which can help them save money on taxes every year and pay for healthcare expenses now and in retirement (for HSAs). Now, just like flavors of ice cream, HSAs and FSAs have some things in common and some things that differ. Once you’re in the know, you can choose what flavor of tax-advantaged account works for you. But what I love about each of these is the ability to use those tax-advantaged dollars (think of it like buying stuff at wholesale prices) for everyday purchases like band-aids, over-the-counter allergy meds, makeup wipes, lotion, and so much more. Our guest Rida is going to demystify it all.

Ever had one of those late-night online shopping sprees that you just knew you’d regret in the morning?

Those are powerful words by our guest, Dr. Cortland Dahl. In this episode, you'll learn how to train your mind to step into financial well-being, uncover the power of meditation, and walk away with wisdom to transform your money.
Dr. Cortland Dahl is the Chief Contemplative Officer at Healthy Minds Innovations and a Research Scientist at the Center for Healthy Minds ( at the University of Wisconsin-Madison).

No more blindly following what you’re are supposed to do. It’s time to get clear, find happiness, and ditch the idea of settling. So how do you do that? Our guest Tess Brigham (MFT, BCC) has a few words of wisdom to help you get there.
May is mental health month and as someone who struggles with mental health, I thought we should have some conversations about it this month. In this episode, we’re talking about happiness. It feels sometimes like we’re always supposed to be happy, but you and I both know that’s not actually reality. On the other side of the coin, there’s a lot of people that believe you can never be happy. And that’s not true either. Somewhere in the middle is a place where happiness exists. The best part of happiness is that it can look different to you than it does to me. We get to define it and shape it.
Meet Tess. Tess is a ‘Millennial Therapist’, an expert psychotherapist, certified life coach, and public speaker. She specializes in helping millennials discover their unique life path in order to go out into the world and make an impact. In this episode, she is sharing how to get super clear on what happiness looks like for YOU and some action steps to take to make it a reality.

It’s easy in day-to-day life to focus on the things you can’t control – the stock market, the weather, how someone treats you.

In this powerful episode, I chat with Arjan Erkel, a motivational speaker from the Netherlands, about his new book Held Hostage, his story of being kidnapped for almost 2 years, and the lessons he learned along the way about money and life.

- Ways to take ownership over your life

It’s never easy to talk about money in a relationship, but there are some ways to make it easier.

In this rebook episode, Nicole Middendorf shares the #1 money subject that every couple must talk about.
Money is still a major taboo subject in a relationship—whether you’re on your first date or have been with your partner for multiple years. Money can be confusing and even, let’s just say, uncomfortable to discuss – wouldn’t it just be better if we all had this chip in us that allowed the other person to inherently know our money story without having to say a word.
Nicole Middendorf, a Wealth Advisor and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst with Prosperwell Financial, takes a deeper dive into how we navigate love and money. This fall her fifth book “Who Pays? Navigating Love and Money” will hit bookshelves. Nicole’s life goal is to reduce the divorce rate by helping couples – and especially women – feel less intimidated when talking about money. Yes, Please!
What You'll Learn
- What makes money so tough for couples to deal with
- What you should and shouldn't share about money in every phase of your relationship
- How to figure out who should pay and whether it matters
- How to deal with money in blended families
- Why we'd rather get divorced then deal with money in our relationships
- The #1 subject Nicole says every couple must talk about when it comes to money

Episode Guests
Meredith Ryan-Reid a Senior Vice President and head of MetLife’s Financial Wellness & Engagement organization, together with Marsha Barnes, a personal finance expert, financial social worker, commentator, and Founder of The Finance Bar have some great insight to move you from feeling insecure to I got this during open enrollment.

- Ways to feel secure when you choose your benefits this year
- How much time should you spend selecting your benefits

"You don’t have to be rich, you just have to have enough to cover your bills". Powerful words from Teri Ijeoma, the brains behind Trade and Travel. Getting good, and I mean really good, at trading stocks isn’t about being able to afford airplanes and Maserati’s, but it’s about learning a skill that can help you achieve so many money goals like paying off your student debt or just earning some extra cash to buy a house. Teri went from working in education and nonprofits to trading stocks, traveling the world, and teaching others like you and me how to do the same. This episode is all about the life-changing magic of learning how to invest in stocks.
About Teri
Teri Ijeoma began her professional career working in education and non-profits. When she started trading stocks nine years ago, she initially saw it as an opportunity to simply supplement her income. However, she was so successful with this side hustle that in 2017, she decided to quit her job, travel the world, and begin trading full-time. While traveling, Teri was constantly asked to show others how she was successfully trading in the stock market.
She set up and taught her first class in Thailand, her second in Vietnam, and had a fully-fledged curriculum created by the time she returned to the States. Teri now offers an online curriculum that shares her investing strategies with people all over the world. She also partners with organizations and companies to train and empower individuals to achieve financial freedom and build wealth through investing.
Teri received her Bachelor's degree in Management Science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and her Masters in Media and Communications from Dallas Theological Seminary. She was named 2018 Entrepreneur of the Year by National Black MBA Association and was the Grand Champion of Teachable’s 2019 Creator Challenge. You can reach her on Instagram at @imaninvestor or online at itradeandtravel.com.
What You'll Learn

- How your investing practice can help you achieve some big money goals
- Teri’s story of going from education to owning her own business
- How to pick a good company (aka, who is hiring)

We're featuring another Best Of episode from 2018 that was a listener favorite.
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.
What You'll Learn
- We’ll chat about the crockpot method of savings
- Why a crockpot method might make more sense than microwaving your savings
- Focus on saving little by little over time with consistency so whenever you reach the age you would like to quit working, your investments and savings have spent some time “cooking together.”
- 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 (just pretend it’s in USD)

I’m not quite sure, but somehow a million dollars became the marker of success. I can remember when I was younger saying I’m going to make a million dollars and then stop working and move to a tropical island. (I can dream, right).
The truth is a million dollars today is not what it used to be, but what you can do is start making million-dollar choices with your money. This doesn’t mean a million is going to drop from the sky, but if you put your mind in million-dollar mode, you’ll already be ahead of the game. How do you start making million-dollar choices – good question, listen in, and I’ll let you in on the secret.
What You'll Learn
- Some sobering stats about the wealth gap
- Six steps to start making million-dollar choices
- Why you need to ditch a budget and get a money flow plan
- How toxic thoughts and relationships might be keeping you from money success
- The exact steps you need to start paying off your debt
- Ways to diversify your income, investments, and your thoughts

Most of us have a love/hate relationship with debt. Debt can help you buy things like houses, cars, and to get a college degree, but debt can also feel like a giant anchor that is keeping you from moving forward. Stress, anger, depression, even suicide can be the result of having too much debt.
When Daniela Corrente moved to the U.S. she was introduced to the culture of you can achieve anything just by swiping a credit card. Knowing there had to be a better way to shop and spend her money, Daniela co-founded Reel, a shopping site that empowers people to buy what they want without going into debt. Can you imagine that – buy what you want and skip the debt?
What You'll Learn
- Understand the emotional side of debt
- Hear Daniela's story of going into debt and how it lead her to start Reel
- How does Reel's save-to-buy approach work

This is a special summer reboot episode with timeless advice about investing.
I’m normally not a big fan of separating women from men when it comes to money, however, I am a strong supporter of creating a new language around investing for women. Why, because, as our guest, Amanda Holden, aka the Dumpster Doggy says, "there’s a lot of femme shaming when it comes to money, how we’re spending and investing it and well, we just don’t process information the same way, but that’s a good thing."
So let’s drop the bs and get some solid investing advice from someone who is committed to changing the way women invest.
What You'll Learn
- Why Amanda is passionate about teaching women what they need to know without the bs
- The story behind Amanda's successful blog, The Dumpster Dog Blog
- Money blindspots women have and how to avoid those
- How to win at investing even if you are a newbie
- Why learning about investing is critical

They pass profits back to members in terms of lower fees and better rates.

My rule is there is no room for judgment when it comes to debt – life happens, things happen, let this episode be a tool you can use if you or anyone you know find themselves making debt payoff a top resolution for 2020.

I’m normally not a big fan of separating women from men when it comes to money, however, I am a strong supporter of creating a new language around investing for women. Why, because, as our guest, Amanda Holden, aka the Dumpster Doggy says, "there’s a lot of femme shaming when it comes to money, how we’re spending and investing it and well, we just don’t process information the same way, but that’s a good thing."
So let’s drop the bs and get some solid investing advice from someone who is committed to changing the way women invest.
What You'll Learn
- Why Amanda is passionate about teaching women what they need to know without the bs
- The story behind Amanda's successful blog, The Dumpster Dog Blog
- Money blindspots women have and how to avoid those
- How to win at investing even if you are a newbie
- Why learning about investing is critical

My dad is somewhat of a legend in the financial services world. He's been helping people for well over 40 years now and is beloved for his personality and intent on always putting the client's needs before his. I know him as Dad and the person who taught me almost everything I know about personal finance.
My Dad, Stan, is joining us for a lively discussion about the advice he has about how to be smart with your money in your twenties and thirties. We'll also talk about the difference between perceptions of money when he was in his twenties versus now - which is always a fun topic for me.
Dad's top advice:
- Save for emergencies (and save more than you think)
- Invest in your 401(k) and don't touch the money
- Cover your risks, but only if you have a strong ER fund
- Don't be afraid to try and learn when it comes to smart money moves

One big common misconception is that you have to have a ton of money to start doing cool things with your money, like growing it or giving it a direction, and that simply isn’t true. Some of the best money moves I’ve made is when I didn’t have a lot but I knew I needed to be really intentional and good things happened because I had a plan in place.

Anna is a kick-ass Certified Financial Planner and the President & CEO at MainStreet Financial Planning Inc., the nation’s largest fee-only, hourly project-based financial planning business. Even though she became a CFP, she still admits that she made all possible financial mistakes as a young adult. Her career goal is to help you understand that you don't have to be rich to start working on your finances.

- What are some of the biggest myths that people believe when it comes to money that hold them back

Do you remember who talked to you about money?
For most of us, the answer to that question is no one, really. In fact, a recent study by Quicken revealed that one-third of adults said no one taught them about money when they were a child and in turn, are twice as likely to delay talking to their own children about money until they are 18 or older.
Frustrated by this, Gregg Murset, CEO of BusyKid, decided to find a better way to talk to kids about money. Using technology, Gregg created My Job Chart, the first electronic chore/allowance platform to take advantage of our modern digital society. I so wish I had this as a kid!
What You'll Learn
- Practical ways to talk to your kids, or anyone's kids, about money
- How to use technology to change the conversation and impact with kids
- Money wisdom Gregg has learned from talking to his 6 kids about money
- Why Gregg thinks we all need to pay attention to financial literacy
- How to turn chores and an allowance into a savings account and stock investing

We tend to talk about money in a very pragmatic way - do these seven steps, save this much, don't do this, make sure you have a budget, etc. All good tips, but there's something else. For most of us, we know what we should do, but life gets in the way. These blockages can build up over time and stop us from achieving our goals.
Reiki is a technique I started using last year to help clear blockages so I could achieve goals. On this episode, we're dishing all you need to know about Reiki with Shannon Marzella, who is an intuitive and Reiki energy healer.
What You'll Learn
- What is Reiki and how can it help you with your finances
- What happens to you in a Reiki session
- What causes us all to create blockages to achieving goals
- A few takeaways from my Reiki session with Shannon
- Why alternative healing might be the missing piece in your life - and why it is not as scary as it sounds

The best part about being a podcaster is getting to create a community and deliver content that you want to hear. Your Ask Shannah questions have inspired this podcast episode, and we're starting off with a question about how you can put your finances on autopilot (inquiring minds want to know). I'm a big fan of autopilot, mixed with a few manual pieces each month to get your money flowin' in the right direction.

I'm tackling three Ask Shannah questions in this episode and diving deep into some tools that you can use to help your finances for the rest of this year and beyond.

June is pride month, although I’d argue that every month should be about loving others no matter what they look like, what their sexual orientation is, or what their life story is. In my opinion, as long as you aren’t hurting anyone else, you have every right to be you, just like I have every right to be me. That may be my view, but I was curious, with the rise of an inclusive culture and social responsibility, how are companies and investors supporting the LGBTQia+ community.
My guest and fellow millennial is Jay Lipman, co-founder, and president of the Fintech asset management sustainable investing firm Ethic. On this episode, we're covering a lot of topics including social responsibility investing and what companies are doing to support the LGBTQia+ community.
What You'll Learn
- Are we seeing a strong shift in companies towards better equality with LGBTQ workers or are we still just talking about it without any definitive action
- How and why are companies aligning their investment portfolios to support the LGBTQia+ community
- If you’re an investor and want to support the LGBTQ community, are there certain things you can be doing
- What lead Jay to a career in social entrepreneurship
- What are trends that are emerging in the social/sustainable investing space
- What can we do as millennials with less cash to build a sustainable investing practice

New Year’s resolutions are stupid – don’t waste time or energy making resolutions. I’ve got a better plan I’m going to share with you on today’s episode.
According to U.S. News, 80% of New Year's resolutions fail by February. And, in a poll that was taken in 2017, 53% of people said their resolution was to save money and 45% was to lose weight and get in shape while 25% of people said they just wanted to have more sex. Ok, well those aren’t bad resolutions, right. But they don’t stick.
So what can you do – you’ve got to have a different plan for success – and it’s not about resolutions it’s about action.
What You'll Learn
- How to relax into the new year without a laundry list of resolutions
- Why resolutions don't work
- How to set goals and make an action plan that will work
- How to embrace you in the new year
- Why you should be thankful for the past and move on

On this special Christmas episode, we're featuring a Best Of episode that was a listener favorite. 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.
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.
What You'll Learn
- We’ll chat about the ridiculousness of Johnny Depp’s spending and what you can learn from it
- How you can visualize your own spending in a way that makes sense and keeps you motivated
- Where do you begin to set some boundaries around spending or even your goals
- What are you playing for - this is the million dollar question

When I got out of college, I didn’t really care what went on in Washington and the government. It just sort of happened behind the scenes of my life. But now I care because I see how policies and government decisions can have an impact – good or bad- on my bank account and yet, it’s so hard to decipher what is good and not good watching the news and getting the highlights. So, I went straight to Mark Hamrick, Bankrate's senior economic analyst, to ask him how the political environment will impact you and me and what we need to know to be prepared.
What You'll Learn
- Why what happens in Washington with the government matters when it comes to our finances
- What are some of the political and economic threats against your money for the new year
- Is the government really doing anything to help student loan debt
- What economic indicators you should pay attention to
- How the rising interest rates impact your goals and your finances
- How can you protect your finances against whichever party is in office

What You'll Learn
- How to balance debt you are paying off with the desire to buy a home

Wealth means something different to each of us, but what will it take for you to build wealth and develop a wealthy mindset?

Millennials are leading the way when it comes to modern savings. There's a strong trend towards gifting experiences over stuff that's honestly really refreshing, and we're seeing this trend with children's gifts as well. Play yards and plastic trucks are great, but what about gifting your child (or someone you know) with money towards their goals like college or even buying a house in the future? Today's podcast guest, Mimi Chan, is sharing how her company, Littlefund, is shaking things in the world of gifting.
What You'll Learn
- Why we needed a gift-giving evolution in this country
- What's prompted the trends towards giving experiences over stuff and how that is changing the way we view our finances
- How to give monetary gifts towards future goals for your children or your friends' children (hint, great for the holidays)
- How growing up with immigrant parents shaped Mimi's own money story and her drive to start Littlefund
Links Mentioned
- Littlefund
- Stockpile (fractional stock shares)
- Collegebacker (for 529 savings)
More about Littlefund
Littlefund, a modern gifting platform that makes it easy for family and friends to gift savings towards a child’s goals with an FDIC insured account which earns interest of 1% APY that compounds daily. So it truly is the gift that keeps on giving (and at a rate higher than the average savings account to boot). Accounts can be set up by parents with short-term goals such as a trip to Disneyland or swim lessons, or longer range goals like saving for college. Gifters can send a Littlefund gift at any time by using a parent’s email address as the family being gifted does not need to have a Littlefund account in advance.

Article after article will have you focusing on giving up your daily coffee or that mid-afternoon trip to the juice bar to better yourself financially. I think it's time to throw out that wisdom (you can still skip your coffees if you'd like) and focus on achieving big financial wins. Things that will lead to real savings in your bank account like negotiating for a pay raise and lowering your cable and phone bill.
Today's podcast guest, Tori Dunlap, offers a unique perspective on how you can achieve big financial wins while sharing her own money story and the lessons she's learned along the way.
What You'll Learn
- Why aiming for big financial wins is far more productive than cutting out your daily coffee habit
- How to define your own big financial wins
- Why having a value based spending method can be more beneficial than traditional budgeting
- Tori shares valuable lessons she learned walking away from a lucrative job that she knew wasn't right for her and how her ER fund saved the day
- Find out why she's passionate about fighting for women's financial rights and the work she's doing to change the status quo
- Wonder what a donut and your money have in common? Tori shares her most important financial takeaway to help you get rid of money shame and guilt

On a recent trip to Indianapolis (my hometown), I had the privilege of joining Mina and Karen of HGTV's Good Bones for coffee and a chat about their thriving career. This mother-daughter home remodeling duo is hilarious (as you'll hear). Karen, a former practicing lawyer, and her daughter, Mina, decided to say "no thank you" to the typical 9 to 5 career, took a risk with money she had saved in an IRA and started a thriving remodeling business in Indianapolis. And then, one day, HGTV came calling, and the rest is history.
What You'll Learn
This was one of my very favorite interviews. Not only were we sitting in a super cool coffee shop in Indianapolis, but I was so inspired by Mina and Karen's story of taking risks, charting your own path, and having a sense of humor about the moments that don't work out. Not everyone gets a call from HGTV, but I think we can all aspire to find a career that we feel good about and helps other people at the same time!
- Mina shares how she wisely invested in an IRA in college and those funds ended up funding their very first home purchase
- Find out how they choose their remodeling projects and hear some great stories about some of the craziest houses they've worked on
- Be inspired by Mina's pledge to not work a typical 9 to 5 and why she decided to take the risk of starting a remodeling business
- They share the story of how HGTV came calling and why they thought it was a shady call and so not real
- Learn how they've continued to grow their career and why they're not resting solely on HGTV's success

We all know that money taboos exist except we don't really talk about them. In fact, we don't really talk about anything in relation to money unless we absolutely have to. Have you ever stopped to think why this is? In the U.S., we have a terrible reputation of not making enough strides when it comes to financial literacy - which in turn enables money taboos to go right on existing.
We need to talk though. We need to understand our money taboos and what role they play in our financial success and then we need to teach others how to do the same.
What You'll Learn
- To start, I'm going back and sorting through some financial literacy history in the U.S. to make a case for why money taboos exist
- Who is to blame - teachers, parents, government, etc? What do you think
- What happens if we let money taboos continue to grow without putting out the flames
- Steps you can take to break free from any money taboos holding you back
- Why our closest relationships are the place we need to start with when it comes to talking about money
- Discussion about the states mandating financial literacy, and why there are only 5

I don't think you can ever learn too much about investing and growing your wealth. While investing can seem super complicated, the good news is that there are a lot of resources these days to help you out (like this podcast). One of them is my good friend and fellow CFP®, Doug Boneparth. Doug's joined us on the podcast a few times in the past, and he's back again to help me answer some of your #AskShannah investing questions.
Whether you're new to investing or a seasoned pro, you'll enjoy this episode with an inside look into three of your investing questions from two CFP®'s who share a love of simplifying money concepts into fun bite-sized pieces you can easily digest!
Questions Asked
- Active vs. Passive Investing: Is active investing becoming more favorable with volatile markets?
- Are cannabis stocks the next great thing or just a fad in your opinion and what do I need to know?
- Should I be investing as much as I can in my 401(k) or should I look at an IRA or a ROTH? I know you always say it depends on our own situation and goals – what would be an advantage or investing more in my 401(k) above the match?
What You'll Learn
- How to match your investing strategy with your lifestyle goals
- What is active vs. passive investing anyway
- Why you should never think of stocks as "the next best thing"
- Why your 401(k) is so powerful for your retirement savings
- Why we think financial literacy is so critical to your future financial success

Questions I Ask
- With Hurricane Florence fresh in our minds can you run through some high-level details for us -what is, who needs it, and how do you get it?
- How does a deductible work in flood insurance?
- Are there states that mandate flood insurance?
- What happens if you live in an apartment? Do you need flood insurance?
- Are there any other reasons why we should think about flood insurance?
- Have any tips for how you can file a claim after a flood – painlessly?
What You'll Learn
- How to take an inventory of your home to prove your possessions
- How a natural disaster can cause financial havoc
- What is the process of acquiring flood insurance and how do you know if you have too much or too little

You know the story. A famous celebrity with millions and millions of dollars dies. It might seem shocking to know that a lot of celebrities forget to secure one thing - those millions of dollars with a will or a trust. But, you don't have to be a celebrity with millions of dollars to have a will. In fact, getting a will in place is one of the smartest money moves that won't even break the bank.
What You'll Learn
Sure, we're going to talk about those celebrities, including Aretha Franklin, that died with millions in the bank and didn't take the time to set up a will exposing their millions to a long court procedure and more. However, this episode is all about you.
- Learn what a will is and why the heck you need one
- There are lots of resources out there to help you get a will in place for under $100
- Which celebrity had their estate held up for 30+ years in court because he didn't have a will
- Some simple steps you can take today to make sure the money you worked hard for will go to the people you want it to

We always get the question; where is your favorite place you’ve traveled recently? Currently, one of our favorite places we’ve traveled this year has to be Asheville, North Carolina. If Portland and Nashville would have made a kid, it might be Asheville. With beautiful mountain scenery, Asheville has it all: one of the first and best beer cultures, a booming food haven and a thriving music scene. Pretty much all the boxes we like to check in any city!
This Podcast Episode:
Join us for this special travel episode of Millennial Money, as we explore the other music city. Showing us around their city of Asheville are three locals and new friends of the podcast.
We have Graham Sharpe of the band Steep Canyon Rangers, who are currently opening for Steve Martin and Martin Short’s national tour talks about the eclectic music scene and what draws people to Asheville these days.
Caroline Roy, the owner of Asheville hot spot Biscuit Head, chats about why Asheville is “the” town to visit and start a business in.
To wrap up our tour of Asheville, Chef Mike Moore of Aux Bar gives us some insight into the booming food scene and some tips on where to find some underground music.
My co-host for the podcast is my husband, Jeff Game, a travel, and music journalist that's always on the hunt for a good story to tell.

I started my first business in college and I can tell that it’s a combination of fun and sheer terror. There’s so much to learn and so much to do every inch of the way. I wouldn’t trade it for anything though. I think it’s important to share lots of different startup/ entrepreneurial stories on the podcast. Meet Jason Rieger, CEO + co-founder of Payclub. He’s taken the idea of revolutionizing how groups collect money in an app and launched his business Payclub this year. No matter where you are on your entrepreneur journey, Jason’s story is sure to inspire.
Questions I Ask
- What do you think are some of the most impactful lessons you’ve learned as a millennial entrepreneur starting your company Payclub from scratch?
- What’s been your experience raising money for a startup – like no b/s? How feasible is it for a young startup?
- So Payclub is entering a moderately crowded fin tech payment space…this may seem like a silly question or obvious, but what’s happening that shifting how millennials in particular pay for things?
- When you were creating Payclub…walk me through the process you went through to design a unique app that could stand up against competitors?
You’ll Learn
- How to deal with the ebb & flow of money as an entrepreneur
- How do you raise money as a startup & cut through the noise
- Why you need to build a solid network now
- How Payclub is helping millennials collect money in a group seamlessly and easily
- Why incubators are key as a startup

I want to introduce you guys to Ry Bradley. He’s a California-based and Hawaiian-reared singer/songwriter Ry Bradley is out to break that Nashville country music stereotype mold that holds back so many singers from blossoming into true artists.
Ry has a brand new openly personal, yet rocking album, Everything I’ve Got, including the song “Next Aldean Show,” which not only pays tribute to the shooting victims of the Las Vegas Route 91 Music Festival last year, all proceeds go to the survivors and family members. Ry is also involved in Women in Rock event, and recently held his own rock and roll camp for young musicians in Norway.
On This Episode
We spoke with the very down-to-earth young star from his home in Orange County, California. Bradley opened up about how splitting time as a kid of divorce in Hawaii and California shaped his musical pallet and he’s sharing with you what it takes to carve your own path in life – which I’m going to add no matter what your bank account says – money is just a number and you’ve got stuff you’re supposed to do in life regardless of that number.
Topics We Talked About
- Being a millennial
- Always giving back, helping to make the world a better place
- Carving your own path in music and life
- Vegas shooting, raising money for victims and their families
- Women in Rock event in September
- Rock n Roll Camp in Norway – YES!

We face a new type of reality when it comes to managing our finances. From mounting student loan debt, keeping track of all subscription services like Netflix and Spotify and more simply, trying to pay rent and buy groceries -- it's overwhelming to figure out where to start.
One of my fav money management/budgeting apps is Clarity Money. I use it myself (I'm a big fan) and went straight to Colin Kennedy, the Chief Operating Officer & Revenue Officer of Clarity Money to explore the power of small daily money habits and how you can use them to empower your money.
Episode Details:
There are a million apps on the market to manage your money and budget more effectively. I've tried them all myself and one that has found a permanent home on my phone is Clarity Money. It really is different than most of the budgeting & saving apps and has made a big difference in how I manage my money every day.
I was excited to have Colin from Clarity Money on this episode to dig beneath the surface of the app and talk about how you can use the concept of daily money habits to revolutionize your finances. Yes, I'm talking game-changing perspectives here.

Blockchain, cryptocurrency, bitcoin - say what? There are a lot of confusing terms out there, and I wanted to get to the bottom of it. We have all heard about bitcoin - it was on the tip of everyone's tongue a few months ago and people were investing in it that have never even invested in their 401(k) or IRA (yikes). What about blockchain - the technology that needed to exist before bitcoin? I think it's time to roll up our sleeves and figure this out.
On This Podcast Episode:
Kendi joined us on the podcast way back in November 2017 talking all things bitcoin. If you haven't taken a listen to that episode, you need to!
Led by Bitcoin and Ether, cryptocurrencies have lost 10% of their combined value over the last week. Bitcoin on Tuesday dropped 4.5%, and Ethereum — after dropping 17% on Monday — fell another 7% on Tuesday. The total market value of cryptocurrencies worldwide is now at its lowest since November, according to The Wall Street Journal.
So, is this technology something you should put your money into and how will it impact your future wallet (because it isn't going anywhere). Kendi is a force to be reckoned with and a super smart chic who knows her stuff when it comes to blockchain and the perfect millennial expert to school us all.

In this Ask Shannah episode, I'm tackling two complex questions about student loans. Everything from borrowing money from your 401(k) to pay off your student loans, to dealing with student loan debt when you're in a relationship.
In This Podcast Episode:
Thanks for all the great #AskShannah questions that are coming in. As always, remember you can always submit a question anonymously so I won't disclose your name when I'm reading over the question.
I'm covering two questions on this episode that I think most of us could relate to in some way. As a reminder, they call this personal finance because it is just that - personal. When you're making a money decision, you should weigh the pros and cons and then come to a decision that feels good to you and makes sense based on your lifestyle.
- My question to you is, what benefits (or drawbacks) could there be if I were to take a loan from my 401(k) to pay off my student loans?
- Which leads me to my question.. Am I wrong to think that having him put some money in a high yield savings account, could help him to pay off his student loans faster due to compounding growth?
Tune in to hear my thoughts and feel free to send me your own #AskShannah question for a future episode.

“Inspire Happy” is the musical mantra that the young and rising band Willow City are bringing to music-listening masses with their infectious Americana folk-pop songwriting and small-town love your neighbor like yourself kind of vibes. Oh, and they just happen to all be brothers and sister.
This family band of Beecher, Ezra, Liza and youngest Asa recently released their ambitious new self-titled album.
On This Podcast Episode:
Jeff, Millennial Money's music guru, sat down to talk with brothers Ezra and Beecher Proch of Willow City from their home in Texas to chat about their love of spreading happiness through music and the new album, and we talked about why millennials these days can get a bad rap from older generations.
This is an episode to inspire you to take control of your own life and chase after your dreams - no matter what the critics say. You've got one life to live, and Ezra and Beecher will inspire you to be the best version of yourself. Oh, and their music is pretty awesome too.

There is a real gap between the LGBTQ community and financial planning and there's no way to mask it. I have to admit, there were some shocking stats that David and John from The Debt Free Guys talked about on this podcast episode that blew my mind. I didn't know that in many states just having a picture up in your office or on your desk at work if you're part of the LGBTQ community could come with heavy financial consequences like losing your job. So, I wanted to find out, why is it that the LGBTQ community is overlooked by the financial industry.
On This Podcast Episode:
David and John from The Debt Free Guys recently wrote an article for GoBankingRates about why the financial services industry needed more LGBTQ people and I knew they had to be a guest on the show. I've received a lot of emails with Ask Shannah questions from listeners who feel like they can't relate to financial advice, are a part of the LGBTQ community, and don't know where to turn.
In this episode, we will offer some resources, advice, and real talk on this subject.
Even if you aren't part of this community, this episode will open your eyes to some of the injustice that members of this community face and the financial ramifications of being overlooked and discounted for years.

My dad is somewhat of a legend in the financial services world. He's been helping people for well over 40 years now and is beloved for his personality and intent on always putting clients needs before his. I know him as Dad and the person who taught me almost everything I know about personal finance.
On This Podcast Episode:
My Dad, Stan, is joining us for a lively discussion about the advice he has about how to be smart with your money in your twenties and thirties. We'll also talk about the difference between perceptions of money when he was in his twenties versus now - which is always a fun topic for me.
Dad's top advice:
- Save for emergencies (and save more than you think)
- Invest in your 401(k) and don't touch the money
- Cover your risks, but only if you have a strong ER fund
- Don't be afraid to try and learn when it comes to smart money moves

It's no joke that I LOVE to travel. We travel almost every month for work or for the podcast and although I love to travel, I don't love all the stuff that comes with traveling - long lines, expensive airport food, eating out every meal, and all those extra hotel charges. In honor of loving to travel, I'm sharing some of my favorite ways to travel and save some cash (and let's be honest, keep your sanity as well).
On This Podcast Episode:
I'm throwing out all my favorite tips to travel for work or for fun and save some money. The truth is, I've traveled on a very small budget and on a very large budget and I've learned that no matter what your budget is:
- You can still travel
- You don't have to spend your entire budget to have a great trip
- You need a few tools in your money toolbox to save some cash
Tune in to hear some of my favorite tips, websites, and more to save money on your next trip and to get your travel system set up for the future. I've tried all these tips myself and have refined what works, what doesn't, and what you need to know.

Ras Asan means business. As a black millennial male himself, he co-founded Breaux Capital rising from his own needs to figure out a different way to approach financial wellness. He figured if other black millennials were having the problems he was having, then he needed to start a company to meet their needs. Breaux Capital's innovation is shaking up the fin tech space and that's certainly not a bad thing.
On This Podcast Episode:
Ras is one of those guests that I could talk to for hours. He's articulate, diverse, and has learned many money lessons along his own entrepreneurial journey that he's sharing on this episode.
Cooperatively owned and operated, BREAUX Capital is focused on increasing the financial wellness of millenial Black males. Since launching with only $500, BREAUX Capital has bootstrapped its way to serving members across the country. BREAUX Capital leverages a combination of software and a membership community to enhance the short and long-term financial health of its members.
There's no doubt in my mind that Ras and Breaux Capital will continue to shake up this old fashioned industry.

This episode was prompted by an Ask Shannah question from Ashley who was super curious what my opinion was about all the money apps and programs out there. She also wanted to find out what I thought about the idea of DIY finances - is it really possible, or at the end of the day, will you need to hire a financial planner to get a good action plan together. Take a listen to find out!
On This Podcast Episode:
Starting us off, I wanted to share a really cool contest that GoBankingRates ran for the Best Money Expert (besides me). There were lots of entries, and I hope you'll check it out and see all the different money tips and advice these experts are sharing.
Can you DIY your finances? Well, yes and no.
I'm tackling this question and dishing about my fav money apps and programs including:
- You Need a Budget
- Clarity Money
- Blooom
- Acorns
- Marcus

Isn't it everyone's dream to wake up one morning and find a financial windfall in your bank account? I think that's why we all rush out to buy lottery tickets when the award is some obnoxiously high number - the hopes that we might find ourselves the lucky one in 175 million who strike it rich. However, coming into a financial windfall could also be a time of confusion - a time to pause and think about how you should spend the money wisely.
On This Podcast Episode:
On this solo episode, I'm tackling a topic that seems like it's a pro but could cause some confusion and doubt. What would you do if you woke up tomorrow with more money in your hands due to a financial windfall?
I'm talking some of my favorite ideas for how you could be smart with your financial windfall, have some fun, and create a killer game plan that could leave you basking in the windfall for years. (And, of course, I sure hope you wake up one day a lottery winner...)

There's really no easier way to say this - your money thoughts have as much of an impact on achieving goals as the actual "how-to's" and practical advice about money. This is the message I've shared since the beginning of the podcast, and it's one that Michelle Bobrow from the Holistic Wallet shares as well.
On This Podcast Episode:
Meet Michelle Bobrow. She's built a whole brand around mind shifts in all areas of our lives, but particularly finances. Michelle focuses on money psychology to integrate healthy and balanced financial habits into our lives.
Through strategic planning and mindful coaching, Michelle turns numbers into a work of art as she designs holistic budgets and sustainable systems for you to pay off your past, save for your future, and enjoy the present. (YES, that's what I'm talking about).
We cover some good points:
- How the recession impacted her as a college student at the time and the lesson she learned
- How you can begin to create powerful money shifts right away
- Why non-judgmental talk is the best kind of talk around money
- How you can create an awareness of what makes you feel good and what makes you feel like crap around your finances

Today's episode was inspired by a listener question wanting to know how to use their summer hours to check some items off the good ole' money checklist - the only problem is where to start. Your summer money checklist can be comprised of anything that you want to accomplish - but remember to keep it simple and relatively easy to accomplish so you'll make sure and stick with it.
On This Podcast Episode:
I'm dishing some of my favorite items that can go on your summer money checklist:
- Update your goals
- Check on your beneficiaries
- Boost your credit score (or check it out)
- Give your 401(k) a little love
- Negotiate a bill
These are my favs, but you can choose anything that you'd like to get checked off your list this summer. Think about all those loose ends that you haven't tied up yet.
Also, we're celebrating my birthday on this episode, and Jeff is joining us for a lightning round of questions all about me. Find out why we're talking about Kenny Rogers and animal crackers and so many more funny questions thrown my way.

You look in your closet and can't find a thing to wear. So, naturally, you jump online to start shopping. But, what if there was a better way? What if you could have your closet on your phone and shop your closet in a new way each day? Meet Finery.
Finery isthe first digital wardrobe platform that organizes your wardrobe and uses predictive analytics to style you with the clothes you already own, founded by Brooklyn Decker (actress, model, currently on "'Gracie and Frankie") and Whitney Casey (former ABC and CNN anchor). Brooklyn and Whitney created Finery after realizing there was Spotify to manage our music, Tripit to manage our travel and Mint to manage our finances - why wasn't there an app to manage our wardrobes, which women spend more on than their education?
On This Podcast Episode:
I'm talking raw and honest with Brooklyn and Whitney about what it took as female entrepreneurs to launch their new business venture, Finery. There are so many great pearls of wisdom in this podcast episode whether you just want to find a way to save money and shop your wardrobe or you want to some female to female advice on getting your business up and running.
We're covering:
- Why they decided to build an app that stops selling people more stuff and starts helping them use what they've got
- How to find your "perfect" business partner
- Why investors are finally excited about investing in female-owned startups
- Debunking myths women have on how they spend, save and invest their money

We talk often on this podcast about our own stories - our money stories, our career stories, our family stories, etc. and how those stories have a direct correlation to the decisions we make in our lives. Our podcast guest, Lily Clayton Hansen, has built her career sharing stories of people who inspire her focused on her goal of reminding people, "that by keeping an open mind and heart we can foster genuine connection." We need connections now more than ever.
On This Podcast Episode:
Lily was a guest on the podcast way back when her first book, Word of Mouth, hit the scene and she's back again to chat about her new book, Word of Mouth: More Conversations, chronically stories from her hometown of Nashville.
In Word of Mouth: More Conversations—the follow-up to Hansen’s first coffee table book, Word of Mouth: Nashville Conversations, which sparked collaborations with institutions such as the Nashville International Airport and Vanderbilt University—the author interviews a wide cast of characters from business owners to community leaders and artists. Her intention is to show the textured, complex creative mecca that is Nashville.
My hope through this conversation is that you'll be inspired to have more conversations - conversations with your partner about money, conversations with your family, conversations with people you come in contact with about their life and find common connections. Also, I hope Lily's story shows you that a dream career is possible without a huge NY Times best-seller or millions of books sold. She's a millennial on a mission and her fearlessness is downright infectious.

You may know of the name Gaby Dunn. She's host of a popular podcast, Bad With Money, and is also a New York Times best-selling author, journalist, Comedian and YouTuber. Basically, she's never bored! Gaby realized one day that if she was bad with money, other people must be too, and so she decided to start a conversation around it.
On This Podcast Episode:
"Money scripts, how you think about money based on what your family taught you is a new concept to me. Everybody learned about money by who they were raised by and it's hard to undo that," proclaims Gaby on this podcast episode.
This was one of my favorite podcast conversations. Gaby is funny, engaging, and deeply committed to understanding why people are bad with their money. Her podcast hosts intelligent guests and she's not afraid to be raw and real about her own money journey. We're covering:
- How money scripts play into your financial thoughts
- Why she thinks the lack of financial literacy is a conspiracy
- How her own money story has shaped her finances
- Why she feels talking about money is so important...even if it's a taboo topic

Majd Maksad and his company, Status Money, recently completed a study all about peer pressure and the effects it has on your money. If I'm going to be honest, I've probably made a money decision or two in the past based on peer pressure. Would it surprise you to know that peer pressure actually can help people save money and change their spending habits?
This Podcast Episode:
Peer pressure can help consumers cut their spending by a whopping $600 a month, according to a new independent study by the University of Chicago and University of Maryland using technology from statusmoney.com. With more than half of Americans having less than $1000 in savings and 17% negative net worth, peer pressure could help combat what some experts are calling a debt epidemic.
I wanted to get to the bottom of this and chat with Majd about these findings and how Status Money is helping people with their own money decisions. Many of the key findings were particularly interesting and I think they say a lot about the role peer pressure plays in our finances.

Jessica Nazarali always had a big business dream - she knew she wanted to help people and be involved with personal development but wasn't sure how to execute that. When she started a blog about healthy food in 2011 she quickly realized that her dream could become a reality. She now runs a popular podcast called It Girl Radio and It Girl Academy to help other women realize their business dreams...but she definitely learned some money lessons along the way.
On This Podcast Episode:
Jessica joined me all the way from Austrailia for this episode, and she's dishing about the realities of running a successful company and online company that earns well over six figures. We tackled some tough questions in this interview including:
- How do you begin to overcome self-doubt and fear with running your own business
- How to feel worthy of making money when you run your own business
- What stumbling blocks in her own money journey that she had to overcome to be successful at helping others
- Is running an online business and blog still a viable way to make a sustainable income
- Why she says to, "stop telling your story around money if it's not helping you"

I get sent a lot of books to review for the podcast - some great, some just ok. I sat down with Danielle Town's new book on a Friday afternoon, Invested - How Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger Taught Me to Master My Mind, My Emotions & My Money (with a little help from my dad), and I couldn't put it down until I read every last word!
On This Podcast Episode:
I've had a lot of cool and interesting podcast interviews but this chat with Danielle takes the cake. Her book is all about this 12-month journey that she took with her dad & investing guru, Phil Town, on her journey to financial freedom. The best part, the book details how you and I can follow the exact same process that she went through.
Naturally, I was excited to talk to Danielle about her journey, the struggles, and have her dish any great pearls of wisdom that you should know on your own investing journey. You'll want to bookmark this podcast episode for sure (and rush out and read her book).
(This episode does not promote investing or investing techniques. Please invest based on your own financial situation or after speaking with your financial advisor.)

I've been fortunate enough to be a guest on a lot of different podcasts lately where I get to share my own money story. Inevitably, I'm always asked, "What is your best money advice." I love that question because it gives me a chance to talk about those things that seemingly no one talks about when it comes to your money.
On This Podcast Episode:
Working with people over the last 12 years, I've seen a lot about how people manage their finances - the good and not-so-good ways. What I have learned, regardless of the income, is there are a lot of things that no one tells you about your money.
In this episode, I'm dishing my top five things that I believe no one really talks about when it comes to money but really should. I think if we did, maybe we might all be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

I've been a fan of the No, You Go podcast for a while now and was so excited to be able to do a podcast swap. They are three badass women who share in frank, funny, and honest discussions about lots of issues in life that we're all trying to figure out.
I'm also featured on their podcast talking about money taboos, the best financial advice to take and ignore, and dishing about the dreaded "b" (budgets) word.
On This Podcast Episode:
Jenn, Sara, and Katel (hosts of the No,You Go Podcast) are sharing their own career and money journeys in this hilarious and honest podcast episode. They each are superstars in their own right and they aren't afraid to roll up their sleeves and talk about their struggles figuring their way through being good with their finances.
We also dove deep into their own money questions in the last segment and heard a first-hand story from Sara about credit card fraud and why you should always stay on top of your credit report (even if your score is rockin'.)

News out of Washington D.C. is not the cheeriest these days almost midway through 2018, so it’s refreshing when electronic-pop trio SHAED (pronounced “shade”) has become a ray of sunlight on the nation’s capital evolving music scene – a badge of honor this young band wears proudly. Following in the footsteps paved by other notable D.C. area legends as Bad Brains, Fugazi and hall of famer Marvin Gaye, SHAED has their sights on a breakout year with an upcoming national tour and stellar new EP due out later this summer.
On This Podcast Episode:
SHAED is somewhat of a family affair, with twin-brothers Spencer and Max Ernst on the music side and Chelsea Lee bringing the vocals. Spencer and Chelsea are even engaged, and all three recently moved into a home together, where the band housemates were inspired to write and record their latest collection of songs. Not only a band, but the three are also close friends, jamming Frank Sinatra and old-school jazz as they cook dinner every night. Even so, this trio cuts a broad swath of musical talent weaving delicate, hypnotic pop-synths with grandiose lyrics and seductively powerful vocals. SHAED is a band to watch out for in the coming years.
We caught up with SHAED as they just completed their last rehearsal before hitting the road for a string of dates with X Ambassadors. The trio had a lot to chat about, from the impact a fantasy novel had on the band, to the thunder of Bernie Sanders and writing songs at an empty Air B&B in Death Valley.
My co-host for the podcast is my husband, Jeff Game, a travel, and music journalist that's always on the hunt for a good story to tell.

It's time to tackle some more of your Ask Shannah questions. On this podcast episode, I'm going to be giving some tips and suggestions for making cross-country moves, starting over somewhere fresh without a job and what to do with extra cash when you get a big promotion.
On This Podcast Episode:
I'm chatting about three awesome questions in this podcast episode. Tune in to hear my suggestions to these questions:
- I'm moving to a new city, quitting my job, and looking for a new job. How can I best manage my money during this time?
- We're moving cross-country with our cat to start a new master's degree program. How can we set ourselves up and make smart money moves during this transition?
- I just got a big promotion at work and now I'm trying to figure out if I should put that money into a 401(k) or towards my student loan payments. What do you suggest?

You'd think when you arrive in the U.S. getting set up financially would be easy. Not so fast. When Warren Hogarth of Empower came to the U.S. from Austrailia in 2004 he quickly realized he was at a disadvantage with all things financial - getting credit and building your credit was no easy task.
On This Podcast Episode:
I had a candid conversation with Warren about his transition to the U.S. and how "the system" attempted to keep him down when it came to his finances. Luckily, he's sharing some of the money lessons he learned during that time as well as the journey he's taken to turn the disadvantages into a new app, Empower.
Warren spent eight years as a Partner at the #1 VC firm in the world, Sequoia Capital. They've invested in companies like Square, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and AirBnB, and Warren stood shoulder-to-shoulder with founders to build large, enduring businesses (3 went from zero to over $1 billion).
If you take away one thing for this episode, it should be his best piece of money advice (stay to the end of the episode to hear his inspirational take away).
Shout Out To Our Sponsor:
This episode was sponsored by The Decrypting Crypto Podcast. As Warren said in the podcast episode, learning all you can about Crypto will keep you educated and in a position to make smart money moves.

The average cost of a wedding in the U.S. is $33,391 according to Business Insider and from my experience, many of us spend money on items in our wedding that might not be the most beneficial to our bank account. I recently was a guest on Aleisha McCormak's Bridechilla podcast, so I figured it would great to have Aleisha share with you some of her favorite wedding do's and don'ts when it comes to spending your cash.
On This Podcast Episode:
She's a comedian and a TV presenter from the U.K. who turned her wisdom from planning her own wedding into a top-rated iTunes podcast, Bridechilla. Seriously, even if you aren't planning a wedding, you're going to enjoy hearing Aleisha dish wisdom about some of her favorite wedding do's and don'ts - including her f**k it bucket suggestion - and how to survive the day as stress-free as humanly possible.

Let’s face it, the cruise industry does even get what a traveler in their 40s wants to do, see, and explore and they certainly do not know what an experience is these days. Let alone an experienced millennial traveler in their 20s and 30s just like you. So when you're thinking about where to spend your travel dollars...if you're anything like me, you're looking for an experience.
When we think of cruising usually old school visions of the 70s TV show the Love Boat might pop into our brains, with endless buffets of gluttony, shore excursions to remote location in a beat-up tour bus with no air conditioning and of course the horror stories we see online of ships making people sick, flooding or just horrible customer service. These are the cruise ships of your parents and grandparents.
On This Podcast Episode:
Prompted by a question from Rebekah, who was searching for a unique travel experience, I uncovered U by Uniworld.
U by Uniworld have begun a cruising revolution with their newly launched European river cruises for the next generations and beyond, designed for those with a passion for exploring and taste for authentic adventures. Chic comfortable ships that double as social clubs, silent disco clubs, mixology and fine cooking classes, rooftop yoga, locally-sourced designed menus and experiences in some of Europe’s top cities like Paris, Budapest, and Amsterdam that will blow your mind. That’s right, this is not your parents or grandparents cruise ships.
I had the pleasure to chat up Ellen Bettridge, President, and CEO about one of the hottest new adventures that has the travel world all abuzz these days, U by Uniworld European River Cruises.

I'm dedicating today's podcast episode to an Ask Shannah question that came in a couple of weeks ago from Tabitha and Robert:
"Hey Shannah, I'm reading a lot of articles that talk about the extreme side of personal finance and I find myself falling prey to the stereotypes that I'm not succeeding in my finances unless I'm 100% debt-free and that just seems impossible to me. I read all these articles about people who are retiring by 40 and paying off massive amounts of debt, but I'm not sure that's the vision I have for my life...please provide some insight."
On This Podcast Episode:
The topic of extreme personal finance is one I have a lot to say about. I'm breaking down the good, the bad, and all the in-between on this episode in what I hope will be a thought-provoking discussion about the journey to be 100% debt-free.
In fact, I recently was quoted in a U.S. News & World Report article about this very topic with some other like-minded CFP® professionals who share my viewpoint and had some very insightful knowledge to add to the topic.

Now that we're well past tax-time, I wanted to reboot an episode that will help you give your 401(k) a little love. It's quite possible that fees may be eating your 401(k) returns and you aren't even aware of it. There is a lot of confusion out there about how 401(k)s even work, let alone that some funds may be costing you a bundle. Let's demystify some of that!
On This Podcast Episode:
I'm rebooting one of our top episodes and chatting with a podcast guest that's always a favorite, Chris Costello from Blooom (with three o's). I've honestly never seen a company quite like Blooom and I always love when we can chat about 401(k)s. We're covering:
- Why fees even matter in your 401(k)
- How you can figure out your ideal stock/bond ratio
- Ways you can control fees - to some extent
- Why your behavior has a lot to do with your 401(k) balance
- How to figure out how much you're actually paying in fees
Click here for a FREE analysis of your 401(k) with Blooom.

Ok, let's get real for a minute here.
We're all familiar with the term prenup, whether you're a fan or not. However, did you know that there is a new marriage trend - the postnuptial agreement? Just as it sounds, it's a legal agreement that is formed after you're married for a myriad of reasons. Let's go straight to the source, Chicago-based attorney Jennifer Guimond-Quigley to demystify this new marriage trend.
On This Podcast Episode:
As controversial as they might be, if you're thinking about a prenup or a postnup, the first place you should start is getting some education around these hot-button documents. Jennifer Guimond-Quigley is joining us on this episode to demystify what you need to know about prenups, and breaking down the differences between postnups in a fun and an easily digestible way (no crazy lawyer speak here, just a totally educational and enjoyable conversation).
Jennifer is the owner and managing attorney at the Law Office of Jennifer Guimond-Quigley. She realized early on in law school that she had a passion for family law and estate planning. After gaining experience in these two areas both during and after law school, Jennifer decided to start her own firm. With her solo practice, Jennifer loves having the freedom to collaborate with her clients to achieve the best results possible without the limiting constraints common to practicing with larger firms (and she's kicking butt doing so).

There are so many money apps and programs on the market that it's hard to know which one is the "best." Unfortunately, you usually have to try a few before you find the one that is going to be your money bff. Not to worry though, I've tried just about all of them and I'm giving you the down low on some of my favorites.
On This Podcast Episode:
I'm breaking down some of the best of the best money apps, programs, products and more. If you're looking for some new favs, check these out.
- Best Budgeting App - You Need a Budget (hands-down one of my favorites)
- Best Points Credit Card- (still) Chase Sapphire Preferred Card
- Best Online Checking Account - I'm a fan of Aspiration. Listen to my interview with their CEO Andrei
- Best Investing App - Acorns (they're doing some really cool things over there at Acorns)
- Best Way To Think About Buying a House - Have you heard of Unison? We've had them on a podcast episode talking about innovative ways to afford a down payment
- Best Way To Reduce Your Credit Card Debt - (remember, you're trying to get an unfair advantage here) Ask for a credit limit increase, ask for an annual fee to be waived and ask for a lower interest rate. Here's a link to the Creditcards.com report with some of the statistics

Whether you believe in karma or a higher power or just good old juju coming from the universe, sometimes two roads can lead to one path in our lives. That’s exactly what happened with my husband Jeff and myself a few years back and that’s what happened with this week’s musical guests, the Young Fables.
Laurel Wright and Wes Lunsford (the Young Fables) are a dynamic duo of singer-songwriters that steadily has Music City talking about their unique and honest approach to songwriting, along with their infectious live shows. Heavyweights like Sheryl Crow and Keith Urban have even become “Fable Fanatics.” Oh, and they happen to be a duo that fell in love in real-life as well.
On This Podcast Episode:
The Young Fables joined us from Nashville to talk about finding love and the music they were meant to play, how their Kickstarter fundraiser went over the top live on the radio and their new album, Old Songs that’s due May 4.
My co-host for the podcast is my husband, Jeff Game, a travel, and music journalist that's always on the hunt for a good story to tell.

Saving money seems to be the Achilles heel for most of us. Either you can't seem to figure out how to get out of the endless paycheck-to-paycheck cycle or you are on the other end of the spectrum and saving so much that you're also not having a lot of fun in life. Saving money is one of the core personal finance principles but just like my guest, Jamila Souffrant, you have to figure out what you're saving money for in order to have fun with it.
On This Podcast Episode:
Jamila Souffrant, host of the Journey to Launch podcast and her husband set out with a big goal of saving $85K in one year and close to it in another year. Oh, and they have two children with another on the way. Jamila had a big goal of leaving the corporate world behind to forge her career in personal finance and to retire by the time she turns 40 in a few years. She's well on her way, and dishing some of her best "secrets" to supercharge your own savings.

The Ask Shannah questions are piling up so today I'm tackling two questions that I feel will resonate with you.
On This Podcast Episode:
Question #1 - How Much Should I Have Invested (and saved) At Certain Ages - while there are some common goals that are often suggested by personal finance experts, there isn't a hard-fast number for how much you should have invested and saved. Even if you haven't started yet, now is as good of a time as any. However, in the episode, I'm going to offer some common suggestions you can use to figure out if you're on track.
Question #2 - Should I Make Weekly Credit Card Payments - well, the most important factor is that you're making your credit card payment on-time, however, these micropayments have become popular with people trying to better their credit score and pay off debt faster. See what I have to say about making weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly credit card payments.

We've all heard of those people who launch online businesses and make a million dollars, and yet it all still seems a bit unbelievable. Almost on accident, Melyssa Griffin transformed her once website design job into a multi-million dollar online business teaching others how to transform their own business...but at the end of the day, she felt a bit purposeless. Something I think we all can relate to, no matter our career.
On This Podcast Episode:
If you're thinking this whole making money online thing is not realistic, then you need to meet Melyssa. She's not only incredibly successful at her own business, but she spends her day helping others find their own Pursuit With Purpose (that's even the name of her podcast). However, the money lessons that Melyssa has learned along the way might shock you (and you need to hear no matter what your career is).
Ask Shannah - How can I get my partner (soon to be spouse) on the same money page with me?

Whatever career path or life choices we take with our lives may often time require a backup plan if something does not work out how we envision. But, what if we have one vision for our lives and no matter how long it takes or how much hard work comes with that dream this is exactly the direction we are headed and nothing will stop us or get in our way?
Frontman of the power pop/rock band Jukebox the Ghost Ben Thornewill, always knew music was part of his life plan, from growing up playing classical music to getting a college degree in music and now ten years on as a successful chart-topping band.
On This Podcast Episode:
Jukebox the Ghost is bringing power pop/rock back with their blend of monster piano jams, hard rock guitar licks, and epically powerful vocals. Now, the Brooklyn-based trio of Thornewill on vocals/piano, Tommy Siegel guitar/vocals, and Jesse Kristin on drums/vocals have a sonically layered new album out right now, “Off to the Races.”
We caught up with Thornewill in Brooklyn as Jukebox the Ghost was preparing to hit the road on their headlining tour in support of the new album. We talked with the lead singer about his path from classical music to rock music, their alter-ego of being a Queen cover band and how Brooklyn has become such a hotbed for creatives these days.

So how do you exactly build wealth? That is the trillion dollar question. While there isn't one way to answer that question, there are some steps that you can take to begin to build your own definition of wealth (and I'm not talking about having millions of dollars in your bank account). The art of building wealth starts with thinking about your money in a different way than you have in the past and maximizing what you do have.
On This Podcast Episode:
I'm sharing some of the smart money moves for building wealth that I've seen working with hundreds of people over the last twelve years. Regardless of income, the real question remains, what does true wealth look like to you (hint, it's different for everyone).
Let's meet Gary Zimmerman from Max - the company that helps you "Max My Interest" so your cash is growing and always positioned with the best interest rate. Don't think it matters? What're a few dollars here or there? Gary is going to demystify this myth and show you why maxing your interest is one of the smartest ways to build your wealth.
Ask Shannah - I'm sharing a success story this week about someone who decided to start making small steps to better his money situation. Proof that we all can change any situation.

It’s 2018, and if you ask me, it’s time to do things better and definitely more affordable. Thanks to technology, we’re seeing a lot of our money transactions transform before our eyes. Think about how we save money with apps like Acorns, invest online with companies like Betterment, and on this podcast episode we’re talking about redefining the banking and mortgage process with two companies (BankMobile and Better Mortgage) that are using technology to do it better!
On This Podcast Episode:
This episode is dedicated to doing money things better. We’re introducing you to Luvleen Sidhu from BankMobile and Vishal Garg from Better Mortgage to unlock your thinking about two industries that were in dire need of some serious modernizing.
Luvleen Sidhu had enough with big banking fees and wanted to do it differently. In 2013, Americans spent $32 billion on overdraft fees, which is three times as much as they spent on breast cancer and lung cancer combined and more than they spent on vegetables. Additionally, the underbanked spend approximately 10 percent of their salaries on fees for alternative financial services. Together with her father Jay Sidhu, she launched BankMobile in January 2015 to offer this banking experience all through a smartphone or tablet device, utilizing cutting-edge technology to make banking seamless. BankMobile offers completely fee-free accounts—checking, savings with a guaranteed higher savings rate than the top four banks in the U.S., and line of credit, access to over 55,000 surcharge-free ATMs nationwide (BankMobile VIP customers have free access to every ATM in the U.S., which is more than 400,000 ATMs), a personal banker for all customers, and a free financial coach for VIP customers.
Vishal Garg is the Founder and CEO of Better Mortgage, working to make the mortgage process simpler, faster and much much better for all Americans – especially the new generation of first-time homebuyers (aka millennials). Better is a digital mortgage company focused on improving access to home financing. They’re using tech to make home buying better by speeding up the process, bringing down the cost and ensuring our customers get the best possible mortgage. Their mission is to make home buying more affordable and accessible for everyone. And that’s built into Better’s DNA - from their zero commissions approach to their 100% transparent process.

Recently we went to see one of our favorite Irish singers, Glen Hansard and he was telling about his first visit to Los Angeles. He had a quote about how to really get to know a place or culture, “If you want to learn about a place, read the history books. If you want to get to know a place, listen to their songs.” This is so true and we love exploring so many genres of music.
These days it seems like we’re all reading more about history, watching documentaries about historic events and of course listening to podcasts about the history of so many things, people and places.
On This Podcast Episode:
This episode's Ask Shannah question is from Allison who is curious about student loan consolidation and whether it makes sense or not. Thanks Allison for the question!
This week we wanted to explore the history of country music because just like your own money journey through life, history tells us a lot about where we've been and where we're going. For that reason, we also want to celebrate some of today’s hottest country artists and the incredible success they've had through their careers.
Take a tour with us through one of Nashville’s most popular attractions, the Country Music Hall of Fame. We talked with museum editor Michael Gray about their newly opened exhibit, American Current, which features such greats as Taylor Swift, Jason Aldeen, Sam Hunt, Miranda Lambert, Jason Isbell, a new judge on American Idol Luke Bryan and so many more.
My co-host for the podcast is my husband, Jeff Game, a travel, and music journalist that's always on the hunt for a good story to tell.

Saving up potentially a lot of money for the down payment to buy your home can seem like a very daunting process. I know when I bought my first home it felt like I was scraping money together in every direction just to find enough to "make it work." Unfortunately, in many cities, the cost of entry for buying your first home has only become more and more expensive - hello San Francisco, New York, LA and even places like Chicago.
The good news is the three companies we're talking to today are in the business of reinventing how you can actually afford that hefty down payment.
On This Podcast Episode:
Ask Shannah: Our question comes from Caitlin today who is trying to find ways to supercharge their savings to buy their first home in a really expensive market. Although there aren't any secret tricks, when you're trying to save for a big purchase you must know your numbers - where every penny is going and why to try to find excess savings. Take a listen as I offer some other tips for Caitlin and her husband.
If you're looking for innovative ways to save for your down payment, this podcast is for you. I'm talking to three companies about what they offer millennials so you can put what savings you do have, with a little assistance, into your dream home sooner rather than later.
Loftium - they're using one innovative company, Airbnb, to help you afford your 20% down payment.
Landed- calling anyone who works for a school, this company is for you. They offer an innovative down payment program for teachers who don't often have the means to save 20% down on their own.
Unison- think Landed but for anyone in any career. Unison is changing the way you afford your down payment so you can start living in your dream home and not just dreaming about it.

Today's country music has been transformed, as the influence of hip-hop, rap, pop, and even EDM have become the new mainstream of popular music around the globe. Now, a young Canadian band of actual brothers, Beyond the Sun are breaking down more barriers with their brand of “shuffle-mode” style of country music and a new generation of fans are taking notice of one of Nashville’s most innovative bands.
Beyond the Sun, Phil on guitar, Colin on vocals, and Dalton on drums hail from Ontario, Canada where they ingested a wide variety of music from Coldplay to Florida Georgia Line to My Chemical Romance to Ed Sheeran and Bruce Springsteen. Bands like Beyond the Sun are thinking outside the big box of country music and are carving their own path.
On This Podcast Episode:
We caught up with Beyond the Sun in Nashville as they chatted about their new song, “Dance Floor” and the music they’ll be releasing later in 2018, how their version of country music today fits with today’s fans and how they declare Bruce Springsteen’s songwriting as the GOAT (greatest of all time). You'll hear some great tunes and have a chance to check out a new band.
My co-host for the podcast is my husband, Jeff Game, a travel, and music journalist that's always on the hunt for a good story to tell.

There are a lot of taboos when it comes to investing. I must be rich to start investing, or I’ll lose all my money if I start investing, or I don’t have a clue where to start investing…so I’ll be fine if I never do. Those may seem silly, but we all have our own taboos when it comes to investing – the good and not-so-good ones. So, let’s dig in and see if we can’t demystify some of those common taboos and help you find your own sweet spot when it comes to investing.
On This Podcast Episode:
Taylor R. Schulte, Founder of Define Financial, podcast host of Stay Wealthy San Diego and a fellow CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ is joining me in this episode to talk about– no, completely and utterly demystify- the five most common investing taboos:
Taboo 1 - I can’t invest in the stock market if I have other debt (student loan, credit card, etc.)
Taboo 2 - I must invest too much of my salary each month to make a difference - so why invest
Taboo 3 - The market is at all-time highs. I'm going to wait to invest until there is a market correction and I can buy at a lower price because I don’t want to lose my money
Taboo 4 - I must be an investing expert to put together a solid portfolio that works for my risk tolerance (strike up a discussion about what someone should be looking at when they are evaluating mutual funds or stocks for their portfolio)
Taboo 5- I can just invest in cryptocurrency and don’t have to invest in anything else

Money thing is about so much more than what’s in your paycheck every week," says the brilliant Liz Dolan, who together with her sisters Lian and Julie Dolan host the popular Satellite Sisters podcast each week. This episode is jam-packed with serious and silly advice and wisdom for how you can find your true self in a crowded space, and as they say, #staynoisy in all areas of your life.
On This Podcast Episode:
I had a chance to sit down with the Satellite Sisters recently and dive deep into this topic of finding your true self and understand how we can all stay noisy. Both Liz and Lian have backgrounds that will blow your mind. Liz is the former Chief Marketing Officer for 20th Century Fox, Nike and OWN to name a few, while Lian is a best-selling author. We talked about their award-winning podcast, and how they made the leap from successful radio show to podcast before podcasting was even a "thing."
Ask Shannah - We tackled a question from Praveen who was trying to figure out how much to contribute to her 401(k) at work and if she should change her contribution from 3% to 5%.

Today on Millennial Money we're doing a podcast swap with one of my favorite podcasters, Farnoosh Torabi. You may know her from her podcast, So Money where she shares stories of personal finance, entrepreneurship, financial success and money strategy. She's got everyone from celebrities to everyday people on her show and each episode packs a serious punch of inspiration and education.
On This Podcast Episode:
Farnoosh is dishing some of her own stories of financial success and struggle as she's made her way from journalist to acclaimed author to podcast host...and so much more. This was a super fun episode as I got to go behind the scenes with Farnoosh as she talked about her career journey, managing money in a relationship (this isn't easy for anyone) and what keeps her inspired and focused on always creating great content on So Money.
Today, we're doing a podcast swap too. You can check out my interview with Farnoosh on So Money after you've listened to this episode.
Ask Shannah- This question is from Joe and it's all about the steps you should take after you've got your money spread out - retirement, college fund, credit cards and more. While there's never one answer to that question, it always comes back to your goals and the life you want to live. Matching your money as best you can to those goals will ensure you're headed in the right direction.

We all have talents - some may be already tapped talents and some may yet to be extracted from inside of us. What if you never discover the talents you have inside of you and never chase your dreams? Singer/songwriter Mat Kearney did not discover his amazing musical talents until he was midway through college at Chico State in California.
Now, this Oregon-born singer-songwriter continues to break down musical barriers with his soulful genre-bending blend of hip-hop infused style of music with his new self-titled EP and upcoming album.
On This Podcast Episode:
Mat Kearney stopped by the Millennial Money podcast as was in the middle recent rehearsals in Nashville for his upcoming national tour to chat with Jeff. We loved hanging out with one of the all-around great guys in music today, as we chatted about his upcoming CRAZYTALK album and current tour, stories of opening for John Mayer early in his career and how fatherhood has changed his songwriting.
Also, today's Ask Shannah question is all about not having access to a 401(k) at work from Angela.

Unplugging is not something we do well in our warp-speed these days - but we should. In fact, there are scientific studies that suggest that being able to truly relax and rest has been shown to boost productivity, increase creativity, and reduce the long-term risks of potentially fatal ailments. So we decided to do just that - unplug a bit, reconnect, increase our creativity, and visit a place that many haven't even heard of - Texas Hill Country River Region.
On This Podcast Episode:
Sometimes we all need to escape the hustle and bustle of our daily lives to find a place where the pace is not so frantic, the locals are a lot friendlier, and the beauty of nature envelopes your soul with a warm Earth Day-esque hug.
My co-host, Jeff Game, discuss how unplugging vacations can be one of the best investments you can make (not only as a couple but also in helping us get back in touch with what matters most in life).
We recently decided to leave our city slicker lives behind for a few days, unplug and explore the quintessential Americana Texas Hill Country River Region, located in Uvalde County. And, it kind of ruled!
As we hopped in our rental car for the hour and a half drive from San Antonio to Texas Hill Country River Region, cranked up our Willie Nelson playlist and could already feel the stress fall away along the roadside.

Everyone wants to be smart with their money, and yet, it's hard sometimes to figure out what money moves we should actually be making. The irony is, most smart money moves you should make in your 20's are the same ones you should also make in your 30's and 40's. Instead, the smartest money move you can make is to figure out something I call your happiness plan and then figure out the money moves you need to make to fund that plan.
On This Podcast Episode:
- Ask Shannah segment on how to avoid online romance scams
- Find out why savings is always going to be a smart money move
- We'll chat about the building phase of your 20's
- We'll chat about the building and protecting phase of your 30's
- Discover what your happiness plan is and how to make moves to fund that

This episode was inspired by a listener question sent in by Dezmond. He and his father had a bit of a disagreement over whether you should pay your credit card off in full each month or leave a balance to build a strong credit score. I'm so happy to answer this question definitively - no, you're not a fool to pay off that card each month.
On This Podcast Episode:
- Let's review the five factors that influence your credit score
- I'm explaining why you don't need to keep a credit card balance
- So what do you do if you can't pay that card off in full each month
- How does not using your credit card actually hurt your credit score

We all know that Valentine’s Day is a made up, Hallmark holiday that forces us to spend more money than we intended or should spend. It’s also a holiday that says this one day a year you have to be in love, and of course, spend more money. So not true!
On This Podcast Episode:
Valentine’s Day is the third largest consumer holiday of the year, as we spend over $19 Billion in the name of Cupid. The average person will spend $143.56 for their Valentine.
Instead of spending money on stuff you or your Valentine may or may not use (probably not), spend your hard-earned cash on an escape plan and getaway for love. This is a great plan whether you’re in love or not. Travel this Valentine’s Day!
My co-host for this podcast episode is my husband, Jeff Game, a travel, and music journalist that's always on the hunt for a good story to tell.

You're young and probably not too excited about talking retirement - but you should be.
You see, thinking about retirement at an early age only sets you up for success in the future. How much success...well that's anyone's guess...but if we look at math alone, starting to save early allows more time for your money to compound. This is a very good thing.
However, there's a real retirement crisis on the horizon not just for millennials but for Gen X'ers and other generations and it's sadly not improving.
On This Podcast Episode:
Jeffrey Small, President of, "Arbor Financial” and author of new book, Turning Financial Planning, Right-Side Up, is our guest on this podcast episode. He's sharing some nuggets of information about the retirement crisis that you don't want to miss.
- We're talking about why millennials should be thinking about retirement now
- How to frame your thinking about picking stocks and funds
- Real ways that you can think about your savings for retirement
- What does the future look like for millennials now that we have this retirement crisis (i.e. are well doomed?)

I'll admit it - I have doggie fever - like really bad. Being a financial planner I'm always trying to figure out the true cost of owning a pet and whether or not that makes sense for us financially.

So I went straight to my friend Jennifer Fitzgerald at Policygenius to find out what I need to know about pet insurance.

Jennifer Fitzgerald, Founder, and CEO of Policygenius, is not only a fellow lover of pets but also an expert when it comes to all things insurance. In this podcast episode, we're dishing what you need to know about pet insurance whether you have a pet now or are getting one in the future including:

What does how you earn, save and spend your money say about your overall relationship with money - a lot actually.
Some of us spend more money to "look the part" in our careers and some of us can get away with comfy pants and ripped sweatshirts (although I urge you to never go to work this way). What writer Alanna Okun has found in her series, How Do You Shop on Racked is that our uniqueness to spending and saving money is also the tie that binds us all together.
On This Podcast Episode:
We're getting down and dirty with Racked's writer and editor, Alanna Okun, about the series How Do You Shop in this episode. Alanna shares some of the most surprising discoveries she's learned from talking to many different women from across the U.S. about their own saving and spending money stories.
Alanna's also got quite a money story herself. Living in NYC and working for Racked and BuzzFeed prior, she's sharing her own wisdom about being smart with her cash and her exciting career journey (hint, she's launching her first book, The Curse Of The Boyfriend Sweater in March).

For me, travel is a must in life, right up there with paying rent and my student loans (yep, still got those payments too).

What I've learned from years and years of traveling is that no matter what my budget is, there's always a way to go on vacation...no matter what.
On This Podcast Episode:
Let's not let your budget keep you for going on vacation - whether it's a short trip or a two-week excursion, traveling is important.
- Learn some of my favorite tips to vacation on any budget
- Creating a travel savings account could be the best thing
- Find sneaky ways to save every day for your travel fund
- Hear about some of my favorite sites to help you save

When we think about the "American Dream" buying a home is certainly a core element. At least that's what I've been told. However, far too often I find people getting tempted into buying a home that's way too big for their bank account because society says, "you should buy a house you can grow into." I can tell you first hand that is a dangerous statement. When your home (or your mortgage payment) is bigger than your bank account the risks can far out weight the benefits.
On This Podcast Episode:
- Let's discuss the dangerous of buying a house bigger than you need
- How to define your ideal home
- What are some factors you should consider to buy the right home for you
- How can you balance your goals with your mortgage payment
- Life lessons I learned from the all too real lifestyle creep
- Why you need to make smart home buying decisions (and how to correct not so smart ones)

It's always a happy day when you check your bank account and see that your tax refund has hit your account. It almost doesn't matter how much, or how little the amount is....it feels like free money. However, your tax refund is a refund of payments you've already made throughout the year that is over the amount that you should've paid. So, since it's your money, you're going to want to make the most of it.
On This Podcast Episode:
Find out some tips and tricks to make the most of your tax refund this year. Whether your goal is to pay down debt, afford a vacation or you want to stash it away to beef up your emergency fund, you're going to need a plan in place before the cash arrives. We all know what happens if you don't have a plan - somehow the money vaporizes (I've been there myself).

In the new podcast, Women’s Work, author and veteran podcaster Tsh Oxenreider, whom you might know from The Simple Show, asks women—from all walks of life who do all sorts of work—their stories. More than a business show, this is a STORY show; a podcast that sings the often unsung praises of the millions of women who make our world a better place.
This show is for women, for a boost of encouragement that our/their place in the world DOES matter. It’s for men, to remind them/us that half the human race is doing good work right alongside them/us. And it’s for our sons and daughters, to inspire the next generation of what’s possible.
On This Podcast Episode:
Supporting great podcasts from women is super important to me. Here’s a clip from the premiere episode of Women’s Work, where Tsh talks with Sarah Stewart Holland, who’s both the podcaster from Pantsuit Politics AND a city commissioner for her small town in Kentucky.

Did you know that in 2016 women were paid just 80% of what their male counterparts make? For the same job!
There's a lot of dialogue right now about the treatment of women in the workforce and it's bringing a lot of issues that have been hidden for years out into the open. For women listeners, we've got to learn how to win the pay gap and earn what we're worth, and for the male listeners, you've gotta understand the struggle that we face to make a decent living.

Contemporary country singer Tyler Williams might be one of the busiest dudes around - singer/songwriter, NASCAR driver, actor, author - yep, he has his irons in a lot of fires these days. For a guy, so busy and so driven, you’d never guess that at a young age he caught a bad case of stage fright almost thwarted his entire multi-career path.
On This Podcast Episode:
Even with so much on this young singer’s plate, he still found time to write and record a new album which drops January 26. We caught up with Tyler Williams at his home in Atlanta as he talked about his bout with stage fright, how karaoke changed his singing career and how proud he is of his new album Good for Me.

If you’ve filed your taxes before, or if you're a business owner ,you certainly love all those tax deductions. Why? They help reduce your taxable income and can potentially bump into a lower tax bracket on occasion. BUT…some of those tax deductions we used to love are now gone – they flew out the window on January 1, and who knows if there ever coming back.
On This Podcast Episode:
- Get an understanding of why tax deductions are so popular
- I'll discuss what homeowners and future homeowners need to know
- We loved personal exemptions, why did they go away
- Learn what job related deductions have gone away
- If you pay or receive alimony payments it's all changed (FYI - For spouses who divorce before 2019, these rules will not affect them, but spouses who divorce after Jan. 1, 2019, the new rules will apply. For divorces that happen before Dec. 31, 2018, spouses who receive alimony payments will need to pay taxes on it and spouses who pay alimony will be able to deduct it.)

If you've ever wondered what you should be doing each month with your finances, I've got a podcast episode for you.
I've compiled a list of the top things you should be thinking about each month to help you make smart money moves throughout the year. This is just a guide - so make sure you make it your own and focus on the steps each month that are right for your own situation. It's your year to rock your finances - I'm just sayin'.
On This Podcast Episode:
I'm taking it month by month to lay out a money to do list to keep you focused and your bank account soaring.
- Jan – How are you doing? This is a month to check in on your financial goals – have you set new ones?
- Feb – Getting your tax stuff together is the name of the game because tax day is April 17.
- March – Time to double check your retirement contributions + invest your tax return somewhere good.
- April – Save and shred any documents you don't need after filing your return and create a master money list with every account number, password and financial account listed.
- May – Check in with your Emergency Fund - are you earning over 1% interest on your savings?
- June- Check in with your investments and your money tracking system.
- July – Time for a mid year check-in - figure out what's working and what isn't.
- Aug – Review and update any beneficiaries and if you haven't created a will and advanced health care direction....do it in August. Also, call your cell phone, internet and cable company to try to find any better deals than what you have now.
- Sep – Full on holiday mode - create your holiday budget and dial in your travel plans.
- Oct - If you've filed an extension on your taxes, they are due Oct 17. Had a new baby? Think about setting up a 529 college savings plan.
- Nov- Open enrollment for health insurance time and a good reminder to evaluate your current policy and any new plans.
- Dec – Focus on gift giving - you can gift up to $15,000 per person without having to file a gift tax return. Donating to charities could also help lower your taxable income. Then...get some rest and enjoy the holidays.

Does this podcast episode resonate with you? I can't tell you how many times I'm asked this question and the answer is always more complicated than you might think - but, it always end up with a yes.
There are lots of things to hide from your partner - your secret mac and cheese addiction and the fact that you really don't like to work out. However, when it comes to debt, honesty is the name of the game. (I promise you it's not that scary).
On This Podcast Episode:
A recent question to the podcast prompted this episode, but I have a feeling a lot of the listeners are wondering the same question. On this episode we're tackling this question and I'm offering guidance on why you should always talk about debt.
- Learn how to figure out the right time (and way) to talk about debt
- Understand why disclosing debt is super duper important
- Find out how to set boundaries with your partner around debt
- Take a listen to my own story about talking about debt in a relationship
- Have a lightbulb moment and come to peace about this scary question

As we talked about in a recent travel episode, Austin is one of the hottest cities to travel in 2018 and might just be getting a lot more awesome-er (it’s a word) when the “Urban Oasis” that is the brand spanking new Fairmont Austin opens later this year.
Located smack dab in the middle of downtown, this brand-new gem of a hotel is a great addition to the expanding Austin skyline.
On This Podcast Episode:
Our good friend, Director of Communications for the Fairmont Austin, Casey Barks gave Jeff, my co-host, and me a behind the scenes tour of their brand-new property. This Texas-sized hotel will now be the largest Fairmont which towers 37 stories high and holds 1,048 rooms, with five of the most anticipated restaurants opening in 2018, including a food hall.

With millions of people making a financially themed resolution for 2018 - pay off that debt and save more are the two top resolutions - and recent Fed rate hikes expected to cost credit card users an extra $7.4 billion in interest this year (YIKES), the personal-finance website WalletHub today released a pair of reports that will help you save more in the new year: 2018’s Best Credit Cards as well as the latest Credit Card Landscape Report.
On This Podcast Episode:
To tackle any big financial challenge like paying off debt it's going to take a game plan and some plain ole' commitment.
However, that doesn't mean that you should focus on paying off all the debt all at once - in fact, that can lead to burnout and frustration.
On this podcast episode, I'm chatting with Jill Gonzalez, analyst from WalletHub about some of their recent findings in their Credit Card Landscape report, and how those findings can help you in 2018 be smart and strategic in paying off your debt.

Let's talk about a "tough" money subject – security and fraud prevention.
It's on everyone's mind, even though our cashless society is pretty convenient for us all. The payments innovation landscape is rapidly broadening to encompass innovation ranging from mobile payments to biometrics (as exhibited by Apple’s recent announcement) and even voice-activated payments – but the question remains, can you trust these new technologies for payments?
On This Podcast Episode:
I'm going straight to the expert, Joe Daly (COO, Paysafe Payments Processing, North America), to find out how you can stay save in this cashless society. On this episode we're talking about topics that we're all trying to figure out including:
- Cashless Future – Millennials are the driving force behind a cashless society, but you expect high-performance and security from your alternative payment options before you completely abandon traditional payment methods. How can you balance that?
- Convenience Above All – In 2018, millennials will drive digital wallet adoption due to this generation’s preference for convenient payment methods. How do you stay safe?
- Alternative Payment Technologies – Although Paysafe research found 31% of 18 – 34 year-olds already use cryptocurrencies from time to time, Millennials will not be a driving force behind standardizing cryptocurrency as a mainstream payment. Why is this?

One of the top money resolutions in 2018 is to get rid of that debt that keeps you locked up from achieving so many of your goals – and in particular that massive student loan debt. I’ve heard it from many of the listeners over the month of December that nothing would make you happier than to roll out of 2018 with a lot less – if not zero - student loan debt. I hear you!
On This Podcast Episode:
If we’re going to be more empowered in 2018 then we’ve got to make up our minds to do just that. Sure, you're still going to get stressed out and worried about your student loans, or any debt, but maybe if we all encourage each other…we can create a movement of us all breaking up with our student loan debt this year.
The good news is that you don’t need a lot of fancy techniques to break up with your student loans – just the commitment to approach those loans with a little strategy.
- Did you know you could make extra payments to your student loan
- What about making lump sum payments with your annual bonus
- Do you have your student loan on auto debit - you'll save a ton if you do
- Considering refinancing? Think about SoFi to help lower your interest rate
- Knowing your numbers is key to finding savings in your bank account to make extra payments
- Most important, create a plan and find motivation to keep working that plan

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.

Through her journey as a journalist, she's found her calling and unleashed her genius in more ways than one. I first discovered her really awesome black and white book on a trip to Nashville a couple years ago, and really loved the concept and loved Lily’s story as well.
On This Podcast Episode:
- We'll chat with Lily about her journey to finding her calling
- Dish about her move from Chicago to Nashville

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

- 401(k) Calculator
- How Much to Save for Retirement

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

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. However, sometimes the best gifts actually don't cost a thing (well, no more than the price of a stamp). Say what?
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!
