Everyone's Talkin' Money

Side hustles can be a game-changer in your money situation. Our guest, Whitney Hansen, host of the Money Nerds podcast, knows something about bringing in more cash flow. She has tried and tested many side hustles to find the most profitable and worthy of your time. In this vault episode, we talk about her most profitable side hustles, and I’m talking ways to bring in $500 - a couple of thousands of dollars a month, and why she thinks starting an Airbnb side hustle might not be wise this year, and how to turn your skills and talents into extra cash quickly. Let this be the year you unstick yourself - the year where you create cash flow and move it towards your goals.

Money is complicated. This is a common human feeling about money. There’s a lot to think about - how do you spend money to reach your goals, are you saving enough for retirement, what is it with all those investing acronyms, and how do you enjoy life through all the financial ups and downs? Our guest, comedian Paula Poundstone, and host of the Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone podcast, knows a thing or two about life’s financial ups and downs. Paula was in debt for a million dollars and spent years climbing out of it. I know it’s not a laughing matter to be in debt; however, we all must embrace Paula's advice. Life will be tough. Life will throw you some curveballs. But, ultimately, life is to be enjoyed, not spent chronically stressed out about money. In this episode, we talk about why money is so complicated, how Paula navigated being in debt, and her advice on how to find true happiness in your life.

How do you make, save, and invest your way to financial freedom? I’m glad you asked. Our guest, David Greene, host of the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast, real estate investor, and author of 5 books, including the best-seller titled Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat, says you need to focus on saving your money, making more money, and investing in the best place you can. Sounds easy enough, right? So why is it so hard to reach financial freedom? David cautions you to understand your money values, not the ones you borrowed from your childhood - your true money values. David’s advice will radically change how you spend money. He calls this spending from gross, where your subconscious can trick you into thinking you are wealthier than you are. He’s a big fan of making a spending plan and including how much you pay for taxes. I promise you this tip will change how you look at your spending decisions forever. In this episode, we talk about what millionaires know about getting wealthy that we don’t, how to use your paycheck to achieve financial freedom, and, of course, we talk about real estate investing and how to use the current market to your advantage. If you love the BiggerPockets Real Estate podcast, you’ll love this conversation about reaching financial freedom.

If you thought financial scams only happened to older people, I need you to listen to this episode. Financial scams like identity theft and fraud are happening to everyone and scamming people like you out of a lot of money. Did you know that investing scams were the #1 type of scam last year, and cryptocurrency was at the core of many of these investing scams? As our guest Sean Pyles, host of NerdWallet’s Smart Money podcast, said in the intro, “Scammers play on our emotions and make us feel like we’re in a very desperate situation.” Okay, how do you set yourself up to avoid as many scams as possible? Sean shares seriously eye-opening advice in this episode, including why you and your loved ones need a safe word. We also dive into why most financial scams aren’t reported; I give you a hint: it has a lot to do with the role of shame in our relationship with money. I know it’s never fun to talk about financial scams, but honestly, this is a juicy episode you must share with everyone you know. When you’re done listening, head over to the Smart Money podcast and check out their four-part series on financial scams.

Building your confidence as an investor is a journey. The early months and years of your investing journey can feel fruitless and like there isn’t a lot happening. When you first start, every dollar feels precious, and the thought of losing money is downright scary. But as our guest, Anna N’Jie Konte, President of Re-Envision Wealth and host of the Financial Powerhouse podcast, says, “Investing is truly the key to women's financial liberation. Every woman who wants to be at least financially stable, or ideally, abundant, needs to invest.” That’s a bold statement I knew I needed to explore with Anna. In this episode, we talk about what it takes to build confidence as an investor, whether you’re new to investing or a seasoned investor, how to move through money mindset blockages that are keeping you stuck, and why you don’t need to know everything about investing to be a good investor.

What should you do first? Do you invest, pay off debt, buy a house, open a ROTH, start a side hustle, or buy a business? In this solo episode, I share insights from 10 people on what they think you should do with money if you only do one thing. I went out and talked to 10 experts in all fields - career, money, psychology, food, intimacy, and more and asked them this one simple question - if you only do one thing with your money, do this or don’t do this. I must tell you, this was so much fun for me because it was intriguing to see their responses. I promised them I would keep their names anonymous, but I’ll let you know what type of expert they are for context. Links Thank you for being a part of our community! We couldn't do it without you.

How do you teach your kids about money? A recent survey from Thriving Wallet found that 90% of Americans say money impacts their stress level. How do we change this? It starts by raising kids comfortable with money and giving them the tools to make smart money decisions. Our guest, Adam Carroll, a renowned financial literacy expert, celebrated author, and captivating speaker who has delivered over 1,000 speaking engagements worldwide and has a Ted Talk with over 6 million views, has some ideas on how to teach your kids about money that will change everything for you and your kids. He believes it starts with getting cash in your kid's hands when they are five or six. Give them a dollar per year of their age per week and have them start making money decisions with that money. But there’s a bigger piece here that most of us didn’t understand when we were kids. How you as parents talk about money, interact with money, or don’t talk about money directly impacts your kid's relationship with money growing up and is at the root of how they spend and save money. It’s programmed into us as kids. So, to raise kids who are smart with money, Adam says, you have to be aware of how you, as the parent, interact with money.

In this episode, we’re talking about one of my favorite topics: How to use travel rewards to fly and stay for free. Our guest, Lyn Mettler, discovered in 2015 a way for her family of 4 to use travel rewards to always fly for free. Today, she teaches hundreds of families her simple system through FamiliesTravelFree.com. She thinks she’s saved around $75,000 using her simple point system over the years. That’s some serious cash if you ask me. We talk about it all in this episode, including how to get you to as many places as possible and bring as many people with you for as few points as possible; instead of credit card hacking, you will get an understanding of the right card to put your everyday spending on, why she’s a huge fan of the SouthWest companion pass, and Lyn’s signature tips to save on HALF your next Disney trip. If this is your year to travel, but you’d like to spend as little money as possible, this episode is for you. In fact, you’re going to want to share it with everyone you know because the tips are right on the money. Links Families Fly Free website Thank you for being a part of our community!

When was the last time you found yourself emotionally spending money? In this episode, you'll discover the allure and consequences of revenge spending, a phenomenon many have succumbed to this year (including me). As the pandemic disrupted our sense of control, indulging in shopping provided a dopamine rush that momentarily eased the strain. However, while it may offer solace for our well-being, its impact on our finances deserves scrutiny. Join us in this enlightening summer vault episode as Dr. Jaime Peters, Assistant Dean and Professor of Accounting, Finance, and Economics at Maryville University, sheds light on the concept of revenge spending. Let's explore how to balance spending and achieving financial goals and explore crucial considerations in the face of a potential recession.

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 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 vault 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.

In this Ask Shannah episode, I'm performing a Budget Rescue for Abigail, who wrote, "I’ve tried everything to reach my money goal of saving $4500 for a trip to Europe I want to take; I’ve eaten mac and cheese for a month, tried furniture flipping, and rented out a room in my house for a few months, but nothing is working. Please, Shannah, I need your help." We go deep and break down Abigail's numbers, and I offer some suggestions for how she might be able to finally reach her goal of saving for a trip.

Did you ever have bad dreams when you were a kid? Maybe you thought something was lurking in your closet or under your bed - the boogie monster. Now, that boogie monster might be replaced by bad dreams about money. Our guest, Meghan Dwyer, a Certified Financial Planner and host of the Money Isn’t Scary podcast, is here to remove all those bad money dreams and help you go from financial fear to financial freedom. I get that money might feel scary - it’s a primal need, and you can’t escape it. So, how do you move money out of the scary place? In this episode, Meghan will share some truths and words of wisdom to help you do just that. We talk about why envisioning the future is so important, how planning for the unexpected can actually help money be less scary, and why it’s really okay to like money despite what society might lead you to believe. Whether you’re in full-on scarcity mode or want to feel more confident about your money, this vault episode is for you.

What is a prenup, and do we need one? A question from Brian and Tracey inspired this episode of Ask Shannah. 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 about these hot-button documents. Jennifer Guimond-Quigley is joining us on this episode to demystify what you need to know about prenups and break down the differences between postnups in a fun and easily digestible way (no crazy lawyer speak here, just a totally educational and enjoyable conversation).

Have you ever said to yourself, “It’s too late for me to learn about money. I’ll never know enough to get ahead.” or, “I’ve made too many mistakes, I’ll always be in debt,” or “If I just made more money, I’d be a lot happier.” These are very common beliefs that we share about money. Just the other day, I was having a conversation with a friend, and she said, “Shannah, I’m just tired. I’m in my 40s, and I haven’t saved enough money; I feel like a real failure,” so she inspired this episode because I think it’s time we talk about these money beliefs that hold us back. One of the things I love the most about hosting this show for the last nine years is getting to make some really great friends who also host equally amazing money podcasts and bringing them together to talk about money topics that I know are top of mind for you, like this episode. Jordan Grumet, aka Doc G., host of the Earn and Invest podcast, and Joe Saul-Sehy, host of The Stacking Benjamins Show, are joining me to shatter these common money beliefs so they can no longer hold you back from reaching your goals.

We're talking about a topic that's not just about numbers; it's about people, fairness, and understanding. That's right, we're talking about pay transparency. Ever wondered how this simple concept can make your work life better? Our guest, Hannah Williams, the creator of the viral sensation Salary Transparent Street, has been hitting the streets asking strangers to share what they do and how much they make. Her mission is to combat discriminatory tendencies in employment and close pay gaps that affect women, POC, workers with disabilities, and the LGTQ+ community. I’m a huge fan of Hannah’s, and I know you’ll be, too, after our conversation. We'll explore on this vault episode how pay transparency can help shrink the wage gap, create a happier workplace, and promote fairness. Plus, Hannah’s sharing juicy information on what to do if you find out you’re underpaid.

You know, we all are like emotional monkeys that live in the moment regarding money. Have you ever found yourself in the habit of shopping on Amazon late at night only to realize that you don’t really need what you just bought? You are so not alone. The good news, according to Val Agostino, the CEO and co-founder of Monarch Money, the modern personal finance management platform and my favorite personal finance management platform, says this is all part of being a human. The trick to breaking these money patterns is to become aware of the fact that you are repeating patterns from some emotional spot. Awareness of these money patterns is the first step in changing money behaviors. The secret we discuss in this episode is to get emotionally attached to your goals. That is where the magic lives. Get this: if you can emotionally live in the things you really want, the chances of you achieving that money goal are very possible.

In this Ask Shannah episode, I’m covering some of my favorite tips to save money inspired by a question from Brett. This question comes from Brett – "Hi, Shannah, thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I’ve listened to this show since 2016, and even though you’ve changed it up over the years, it’s still one of my favorites. There are a lot of dude money podcasts, but I really like a softer approach and one that feels very non-judgmental. So thank you. I’m in my late 30s and doing pretty well financially, but I always seem to end the month without being able to save a lot of money. Am I doing something wrong? Can you give me any ideas of how much I save and any tips or tricks that you have to save money every month? Thanks a ton.” Thank you for being a part of our community! We couldn't do it without you.

We dive into the world of fertility treatments, the high costs involved, and the financial struggles that come with it. But Carrie brings something new to the table - the concept of quantum fertility. She shares how incorporating simple, free practices like aligning with natural rhythms and minimizing artificial light can potentially boost fertility. We also discuss the importance of balance, gratitude, and letting life unfold. Whether you're dealing with infertility or just curious, this episode offers fresh insights on a challenging subject.

How often have you told yourself, “Self, I should be giving money to more needy people. Yes, I really should.” Only to follow that up with, welp, another month went by, and I didn’t give anything. Now I feel bad about myself. Look, let me let you off the hook here. The idea of giving and that your life shouldn’t be selfish is pretty universal. I think we can all agree that we feel some sort of moral obligation to give our money and time to help others. But as our guest, Adam Nash, CEO and co-founder of Daffy, a new fintech platform focused on charitable giving, said in the opening, there are two problems that we all face - how do I build giving into my budget and who do I give the money to? This Paradox has an official term - the generosity gap - which says there is this big gap between people who want to give to charity, but life gets in the way, so you end up not giving. This episode is for you if you’ve put Give More to the Causes that are important to you in 2024 on your to-do list. Adam and I talk about how you can create regular charitable contributions with ease, how to connect to organizations you want to give to, and some clever ways charitable giving can help you at tax time.

In recent weeks, this term, loud budgeting has made its way into the mainstream conversation. So, which camp are you in - shouting loudly about your money goals, or would you rather keep them to yourself? I think we need to talk about it. It’s Friday, and typically, I answer an Ask Shannah question, but this week, something came to my attention that I thought we should talk about instead. So many of you have sent in questions about budgeting, how to do it, how to make it work, and also some questions about how to manage the fears around budgeting - what if you go over budget and someone knows about it or judges you or shames you for how you spend your money. I’m glad you feel safe enough to share those thoughts with me. Money is emotional, and in everyday society, it doesn’t feel safe to talk about those emotions - maybe you don’t even correlate those feelings you have with the underlying cause - money. So that brings us to this idea of loud budgeting. It’s certainly a catchy phrase, but what does it mean, and will it work for you?

Ah, love and money - since it’s the Month of Love, we need to talk about it. Love and money are complicated things that bring up so many different emotions and feelings that are very real. You know what I'm talking about if you’ve ever been in a relationship. And look, even if you don’t talk about money with your partner or keep separate bank accounts, those feelings are still simmering under the surface. That’s where my two friends, Heather and Doug Boneparth, come in. Yep, a couple who talks about money for a living. Doug is a CFP and founder of Bone Fide Wealth. You may recognize him from CNBC and countless articles in popular publications. Heather, his wife, is a “celebrity” in her own right as a writer and former corporate attorney who now runs business and legal affairs for their company. She and Doug have joined forces to create their popular newsletter, The Joint Account, and are working on a second book, navigating the power struggle over money in relationships. In this episode, we collectively roll up our sleeves to have a fun and insightful conversation about how to practically navigate these power struggles and dive deep into some of the most common issues couples have around money, like what to do if one partner wants to splurge on something and the other is admittedly against it. Been there and done that one. If you’re in a relationship or looking to get into one, this episode is just what the Love Dr. ordered.

How many times have you said the following, “I’m really going to focus on saving money this year,” only to find yourself doing quite the opposite? And then there are those sneaky costs in your spending, like countless subscriptions you might not even be using. As our guest, Anne Lester, a retirement expert, media commentator, top-rated speaker, and author of the new book Your Best Financial Life: Save Smart Now for the Future You Want, says most people feel like they don’t have enough money to do the things they want to do, so saving money isn’t a priority. It’s not your fault; you are wired to want nicer things. You are wired to spend money to make yourself feel better - back to my point that money is emotional. Have you ever heard of the hedonic treadmill? It’s the idea that getting nicer things and spending more money doesn’t equate to happiness in the long term. So, if spending more money doesn’t mean more happiness, why not focus on learning how to become a better saver to afford the things you want to do? In this episode, Anne shares: How to master saving money in 2024 Why you need to consider a subscription cleanse Ways to build good savings habits like not spending your entire raise How to use your money personality to help you become a better saver Links Your Best Financial Life book Anne's website Thank you for being a part of our community!

We throw around words like financial literacy, but what does it really mean? If you’re like me, you didn’t grow up learning about money in school and what your parents taught you; I guess you still had many questions when you got to the big, bad, real world. So you were left to figure out how to money on your own, stumbling through paying off debt, saving, and investing money. But is money really that complicated after all? Our guest, Vince Shorb, founder of the National Financial Educators Council, says that the biggest misconception about money is that it’s complicated. If we at least learn the basics, we’ll do pretty well. In this episode, Vince is sharing what it means to be financially literate (and don’t worry if you’re still learning about money, we all are) and why it’s so important that you teach your kids about money from an early age so we can all collectively change financial literacy for future generations.

In this episode of Ask Shannah, I’m answering a question from Laquita. “Shannah, your podcast has saved my life. I can’t tell you what a mess I was before. I felt all over the place and wasn’t motivated, even though I wanted to change things. I was recently talking to my girlfriends about money and how some people, you know who I’m talking about, I’m sure, say we have to follow rules. It just doesn’t feel right to me. I thought it might be interesting to have an episode about some money myths that we’re told are true but aren’t. Thanks again. I recommend your show to everyone…I’m even a bit aggressive about it."

What does it mean to have a financial plan? Is it something that we all need? Ethan Ho, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ from Oahu, Hawaii, is here to share the ins and outs of having a financial plan. One of my favorite takeaways from Ethan is where he describes your finances to a plant. As you can see, Ethan and I share a very common belief about money. You need to give it some TLC occasionally and create a plan that works for you and the life you want to live. So how do you do that? Well, Ethan’s sharing the details behind a financial plan, how you can create one, and what to do when life throws you some curveballs and the planning doesn’t go as planned.

Getting engaged can be a stressful time and a very expensive time. When do you propose? Who proposes to whom? How much money should you really spend on an engagement ring? What if you’ve never really talked about money before? These are just a few questions that our guest Kat McCoy, a hopeless romantic and the owner of Best Kept Jewelry Concierge and Proposal Prep, is here to help you with. I share this story in the episode, but when I got engaged to my husband, Jeff, we mutually bought the engagement ring; I picked it up and then put it on the counter when I got home. Jeff said, “OK, what am I supposed to do with this thing.” I was like, I don’t know, I guess you are supposed to propose. We laugh about it now, but the dynamics of the engagement process, even though exciting, can be stressful and anxiety-filled. In this episode, Kat breaks down the narrative around who proposes to whom, whether your engagement ring is an investment and some important love and money questions to ask your future spouse…before you walk down the aisle.

What’s going on?” This kind of thinking is very common, and I hear it repeatedly with my money-coaching clients. The truth is we all have some emotional baggage with money. Why? Well, because you are in a relationship with money, for better or worse, that causes some gunk to get built up that needs to be released so you can create healthy money habits and beliefs. Dr. Bradley Nelson, one of the world’s foremost experts on natural methods of achieving wellness and author of the best-selling book The Emotion Code, is joining us in this episode to talk about releasing trapped emotions so you can bring in abundance and money success. This topic might seem out there for you, but hang with me. I guarantee you are going to learn something about yourself in this episode. We talk about what causes emotional money baggage, some practical ways to lower money stress, and how you rewire all those negative money beliefs that keep you stuck.

Did you know there are three ways you spend money based on your identity? You either spend money to escape, belong, or embrace your identity. Before you go second guessing how you spend your money, our guest, Ellyse Fulmore, author of the new book, Keep Money Personal and a queer and neurodivergent financial educator, content creator, and the founder of Queerd Co., a financial literacy company, wants you to set down the shoulds and the shame around money and start embracing your identity. This powerful conversation about Ellyce’s money journey inspired her book. Ellyce came out as Queer and was diagnosed with ADHD, and this had a profound impact on how she uses her money to show up in the world. We talk about it all, including the impact of shame and societal expectations on your money, why understanding your money story can help you spend to embrace your identity, and how to create a money system that works for your brain. This is such an important conversation, and I hope you’re inspired to share it with your friends so we can start to change the narrative around money. Links Keeping Finance Personal book Ellyce's website Sign up for Shannah's exclusive workshop on February 7, 2024: Spend with Intention for 2024 Workshop with Shannah https://etmpod.link/spendwithintention Takeaways Shame and societal expectations often lead to negative thoughts and behaviors around money. Understanding our money story and reframing our mindset can help us overcome these challenges. Creating a personalized money system that aligns with our unique needs and preferences is crucial for financial success. Money is deeply intertwined with our identity, and it is important to spend in a way that embraces and supports who we truly are. Financial education should be more inclusive, diverse, and accessible, with a focus on individual experiences and needs. Overcoming shame and shoulds requires open conversations about money, transparency, and a supportive community.

Let's talk about debt. There’s a lot of shame and fear around debt, and much of it is stirred up by money experts who want you to believe that you aren’t good enough unless you are debt-free. Can we please cut the crap and be honest about debt. We all have had it or will have it. It does not reflect who you are or your skills with money. Life happens. You go to school and take on debt. You had a leak in your roof and needed to put the repairs on your credit cards. You went shopping to feel better about yourself. It’s not a crime. Leslie Tayne, a leading New York financial attorney and Founder and Managing Director of Tayne Law Group, says that debt is never a death sentence, contrary to what some will have you believe. This is your masterclass in debt, and this conversation will load you with useful tips and leave you feeling much better about debt in general. In this episode, you will walk away with everything you need to reframe, pay off, and create healthy habits around debt. Leslie and I talk about: What your rights are re: debt collectors (what they can/can’t do) What debt negotiation and settlement options exist (and how it all works) How certain life changes affect debt (loved ones passing, divorce) How to pay off your debt Links Tayne Law Group Leslie on Instagram SPONSORS Thanks to NerdWallet for sponsoring the show.

Without thinking, tell me your first thought that comes to mind about money. My guess is your thought isn’t super positive. And that’s not your fault. Your brain is always driving what you’re feeling and how you’re acting, and is where all the programming you get from society and your family is stored - especially when it comes to money. This all goes into your brain, and then your brain comes up with its own idea about money. So, you must learn how to rewire your thoughts about money. The reason you don’t change isn’t because you don’t want to. Instead, your wiring about money and your thoughts about money are keeping you stuck. I want you to meet Kara Loewentheil. You might know her as the host of the top-rated podcast Unf*ck Your Brain. She’s also a J.D., a Master Certified Coach, the creator of The Clutch, and the author of a soon-to-be-released book, Take Back Your Brain. In this episode, we talk practically about how to rewire your money mindset and how to think better thoughts when it comes to your money (like getting rid of needing to hide the stuff you buy) with something Kara calls the thought ladder and something I know you’ll love, how to get out of the scarcity mindset, and so much more.

Let me be real honest with you. There’s only so much you can cut from your spending to change your money situation. So, instead of hyper-focusing on cutting more, I want you to shift your thinking to what could bring in more cash flow. That’s a much healthier way of looking at your money and can change your money situation quickly. Our guest, Whitney Hansen, host of the Money Nerds podcast, knows something about bringing in more cash flow. She has tried and tested many side hustles to find the most profitable and worthy of your time. In this episode, we talk about her most profitable side hustles, and I’m talking ways to bring in $500 - a couple of thousands of dollars a month, why she thinks starting an Airbnb side hustle might not be wise this year, and how to turn your skills and talents into extra cash quickly. Let this be the year you unstick yourself - the year where you create cash flow and move it towards your goals. The year of making money work instead of lamenting that there isn’t enough. Hopefully, Whitney will give you enough of a gentle nudge in this conversation to get the confidence to start. Let’s start talkin’.

I'm not a big fan of money goals. Instead, I like to think about setting money intentions. A money intention is a feeling or a why behind your goal. This feeling or why becomes a strong motivating factor to take all the steps necessary to achieve your goal. Intentions are also focused on your thoughts around money. If you have debt and are always thinking you suck at money, well, your brain isn't super motivated to get rid of that debt. In this annual New Year's episode, I'm sharing how to set your money intentions for 2024, how to deal with those negative nagging thoughts, and exercises to help you release your money mistakes from 2023.

Day 4 of 12 Days of Holiday episodes: 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. The truth is you shouldn’t be put in financial ruin for walking through the door of a hospital or medical provider. We are human beings who 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. Some of her advice includes knowing hospital financial assistance programs, never putting medical debt on a credit card, and making sure you know the loopholes in your insurance plan.

Day 3 of 12 Days of Holiday episodes: Which camp are you in? Money can buy happiness or money can’t buy happiness? I grew up hearing that money can’t buy happiness, but then I saw everyone in my life push hard to make money, hold on tight to money, and not always enjoy money so that all got a bit confusing. Our guest, Jason Vitug, author of the new book Happy Money Happy Life, A Multidimensional Approach to Health, Wealth and Financial Freedom and founder of phroogal.com, believes that money isn’t everything, but it does impact most everything in our lives.

It's Day 2 of our 12 Days of Holiday episodes. What does it take to live an abundant life? That feels like a pie-in-the-sky question to ask, but I want you just to entertain the thought for a moment. What does abundance look like to you? While money might be the first thing that pops into your head, I challenge you to think about abundance not simply as a dollar amount but as a way that you want to live your life - what you want to do, where you want to work, how you want to spend your time and how you want to feel. I’ve been super interested in this idea of abundance and how to bring what you want to do in life into reality, so I turned to the abundance expert herself, Cathy Heller. You may know Cathy from her super popular podcast, The Cathy Heller Podcast, or her book, Don’t Keep Your Day Job. Cathy believes that creating true abundance is about this simple formula - your mindset plus action. This episode is a joy explosion full of Cathy’s inspiring words and practical steps to help you start walking in abundance this year. I hope you’re ready.

Day 1 of our 12 Days of Holiday Episodes. Did you know that passive income is one of the best ways to build wealth? It sounds pretty good, but passive income also has some flaws. The problem is when most people talk about passive income it isn’t actually passive income, like buying a business where you actually have to work. The true definition of passive income is to have money coming in when you aren’t working, aka when you’re sleeping money is flowing into your bank account. That sounds pretty great to me. But how do you actually build passive income? That’s where our guest, Chris Miles, the Cash Flow Expert and Anti-Financial Advisor, comes in. He has used his passive income skills to become financially independent twice and paid off over $1,000,000 in debt after the last recession without filing for bankruptcy. In this episode, Chris is sharing how to create multiple streams of passive income on virtually any budget, why traditional financial advice sucks, and why true wealth can’t come from a scarcity mindset of saving and only contributing to your retirement accounts contrary to what the Dave Ramsey’s of the world spews to millions of people.

Every time I’ve gone to fill up with gas this year I’ve thought, “you know, an electric vehicle would really come in handy.” In this Ask Shannah episode, I’m exploring if electric vehicles can really help you save money and whether they are worth it or not with Peter Glenn, co-founder of EV Life. I’ve done a deep dive into all the incentives and tax breaks, but there’s a lot to know, and it feels like an ever-changing landscape. So when a listener question came in from Alex wanting to know if an EV is indeed worth the price tag, I knew we had to do an episode about it. Since I'm still learning myself, I turned to Peter Glenn, who is a co-founder of EV Life and a serious advocate of electric vehicles. As he says in the conversation, electric vehicles are like savings accounts on wheels. There's a lot to discuss.

Raise your hand. Are you the tightwad or the spendthrift in your relationship? I have to admit, I’m mostly the tightwad but don’t get me wrong, I do love to spend money too. Get this, tightwads are more likely to marry spendthrifts than they are to marry someone like themselves. That’s what motivated our guest, Scott Rick, a behavioral scientist at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business to write his new book TIGHTWADS AND SPENDTHRIFTS: Navigating the Money Minefield in Real Relationships. He was in search of one answer: can seemingly opposing financial personalities coexist peacefully? In this episode, we’re going to talk about it all. How do you make peace with your partner, what is Financial infidelity, why financial translucency aka not sharing all the details of what we spend our money on could save a lot of partnerships, and how to talk to your kids about money so they don’t mimic your tightwadness or spendthriftness.

Have you ever tried to achieve a money goal and felt like you never made any progress? Or do you walk around feeling completely uneasy about your money situation? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you are not alone. You see, money is about more than numbers. It’s about our very complex relationship with money that was set in motion even before we were born, believe it or not. As our much-beloved guest, Ken Honda, says, “It’s like you have a mold in you that attracts a certain relationship with money until you recognize it and start to make changes, nothing else will change.” Ken is a money and happiness expert and a best-selling self-development author in Japan. His book “Happy Money” is one that will forever be on my bookshelf, and if you haven’t read it, now is the time. In this vault episode, Ken shares how to figure out what is enough for you so you aren’t sucked into believing that more is better, how to redefine your relationship with money so you can bring in some ease, and how to do the work to let go of your money fears for good.

Ever feel like a deer caught in headlights when it comes to managing your finances? You are not alone! We've all stood at that crossroads, but today, I'm venturing down the path of financial clarity. We're discussing the crème de la crème of money tools and apps that help you stay on top of your budget, like Monarch and You Need a Budget. I also shake up conventional banking wisdom as I highlight why it's worth considering online banks like Ally Bank and VARO and why avoiding monthly fees can be a game-changer for your financial health. Remember how we all used to believe in the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus? It’s time to debunk another myth: that all banks are created equal. I’ve got news for you: they're not. Drawing on my personal experiences, we examine the features that make an online bank a true ally in your financial journey. We’re not just talking about fee structures or interest rates. We’re talking about aligning your financial values with your bank’s. Plus, for the lovebirds out there, we chat about the unsung benefits of joint accounts. I'm also thrilled to share our favorite books and podcasts, sources of knowledge that fuel my passion for financial literacy. From the timeless wisdom in "The Millionaire Next Door" and "The Wealthy Gardener" to the fresh perspectives from podcasts like "Stacking Benjamins" and "Afford Anything," I'm pointing you toward resources that will empower you to make informed financial decisions.

How do you donate money wisely? I definitely love giving more than receiving…in fact, I’m a terrible gift receiver. Giving effectively isn’t always easy. Our guest, Grace Nicolette, co-host of the Giving Done Right Podcast and Vice President of Programming and External Relations at the Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP), is here to help you figure out how to give effectively whether it’s now at the end of the year or whether you want to create a giving plan for next year. Grace answers some of your toughest questions like How much money do I give? Where should I give? And How do I know if I’m making a difference — or if I’m actually doing more harm than help?

Let me share a little secret with you - I have a date every week. But this rendezvous doesn't involve candlelight dinners or dressed-up evenings; instead, it involves my money. That's right, I've been practicing the concept of "money dates," and truth be told, it's been a game-changer in reshaping my relationship with money. In this episode, I'll walk you through how I set up my money dates and how you can structure yours in a way that aligns with what you want and makes them enjoyable. I confess, my financial journey has been a roller coaster ride, and money dates have been my safety harness. They’ve provided me with a platform for financial reflection and planning. We'll explore some interesting techniques like setting intentions, creating a money manifesto, and more. And let's not forget about the 'why' of our financial decisions – knowing that can be a powerful motivator during our financial highs and lows. We'll also tackle the often-ignored concept of shedding the negative emotions tied to money and replacing them with positivity. So, buckle up as we embark on this transformative journey to improve our connection with money and turn these dreaded money conversations into enjoyable money dates.

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 reboot 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 get to the bottom of our pumpkin-crazed eating trends. Katherine shares how Thanksgiving has evolved over time, how to make the most out of your Thanksgiving on any budget, and the fascinating story behind the year of two Thanksgivings.

Open, open, open! You may be too young to remember, but a clothing store named Mervyn’s back in the early ’90s had some great commercials with people camped out by their store just waiting for them to open for the big Black Friday sales day. Now, if you’re like me, you probably don’t go to the store that often on Black Friday. I’d much rather online shop, that is, until I heard what our guest Trae Bodge, our resident shopping expert, had to say about the hefty return fees retailers are now charging. Whether you’re planning to shop online or brave the crowds to score a deal in-store, Trae’s sharing all the tips you need to know, including Trae’s Black Friday shopping rules to get the best buys, her favorite shopping browser extensions to save money like PayPal Honey, my personal fav, and most importantly, how to stay on budget and not go into debt during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. You always love Trae’s Black Friday episodes, and this is our third year having her on the show. I learn something new each time myself and this episode is no exception. So while you’re stuffing yourself on Thanksgiving, shoot this episode out to 5 of your friends or share it on your socials so everyone can shop smart this week.

In this episode, we're talking about Dave Ramsey's terrible retirement advice. Let me put myself in your shoes. No matter how old you are, you’re probably saving for retirement. You’re trying to figure out how much you need to save and what retirement accounts are best - do you go 401K or Roth IRA, etc? And the biggest question is, how much money can you take out each year for retirement? And, you’re hoping, fingers crossed, you’re saving enough. Then, the biggest voice in money, Dave Ramsey, comes along and says it’s simple, if you earn 12% each year in your investments, you can safely take out 8% for retirement each year and leave 4% in your account for inflation. Simple, according to his “math.” But it’s not that simple, and it’s mathematically wrong advice - damaging advice if you ask me. Why? Because of pure facts, the stock market's average 30-year return is 9.9% and just 7.3% adjusted for inflation - far less than the 12% return he spouts. His latest rant in response to a caller who wanted to know how much he could take out for retirement each year is the reason for this episode. I called in my two money expert friends, Paula Pant from Afford Anything and Joe Saul-Sehy from Stacking Benjamins, to talk through why this advice is wrong, what moral obligation money experts have to their listeners to get things right, and what you need to know to figure out how much money you should be saving and what a good retirement withdrawal rate really is.

This episode is your ultimate guide to afford the holidays without all the stress and debt that can come with it. With that said, I get that it is hard to do. The holidays always feel like a time when you are expected to spend money, even when you might not have money to spend. Maybe you have a family member who is always trying to one-up your gifts, or you feel pressured to have the best gift for your boss. And what about Dad’s? I never knew a good gift to get my dad, so I always overspent when I could’ve just got him a new t-shirt, and he would’ve loved that. So, I called in my new friend, Pattie Ehsaei. If you don’t know Pattie, she is known as the Duchess of Decorum on TikTok and has a raving fan base. She teaches financial literacy and social and workplace decorum. For the last 22 years, she's had a multifaceted career as a lawyer and manager in financial services and currently stands as Senior Vice President of Mergers and Acquisitions Lending. In this episode, Pattie shares her best tips to afford the holidays, why she thinks regifting is socially acceptable(I didn’t even know that was a thing), and how to DIY your holiday decorations and gifts in style.

Today's vault Ask Shannah 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 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."

It’s National Let’s Talk Money Day, and it’s also my 10-year wedding anniversary today, but let’s focus on the money part. Talkin’ money is what we do every week here on the show, so I’m excited that there’s actually a day dedicated to my mission of making talking about money mainstream. There are lots of different topics we could talk about on Let’s Talk Money Day, but if I had to pick one topic that I think is critical to your money success, it would be getting paid for your value. That is something our guest Anne Mahlum, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, business owner, and philanthropist, knows something about. Raised in a working-class family, there was very little in Anne's childhood that would indicate she would one day be one of the most successful founders in the fitness industry. A true self-made success story, Anne's entrepreneurial ventures have resulted in a personal net worth of over $100M and an impact on thousands of lives. In her new podcast, "How to…with Anne Mahlum", she has been interviewing top business minds and influential people and digging into how their success strategies can be adopted by others. But on this Let’s Talk Money Day, Anne wants to equip you with the how-to’s behind getting paid for your value. We talk about how to adopt a money action plan, how to figure out what monetary value you bring in your career to get paid more, and why we should all stop demonizing money.

Ever wondered how you are never left with any money each month, even though you have a budget? 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 could 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. 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."

In this Ask Shannah episode, I’m covering some of my favorite tips to save money inspired by a question from Brett. This question comes from Brett – "Hi, Shannah, thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I’ve listened to this show since 2016, and even though you’ve changed it up over the years, it’s still one of my favorites. There are a lot of dude money podcasts, but I really like a softer approach and one that feels very non-judgmental. So thank you. I’m in my late 30s and doing pretty well financially, but I always seem to end the month without being able to save a lot of money. Am I doing something wrong? Can you give me any ideas of how much I save and any tips or tricks that you have to save money every month? Thanks a ton.” SPONSORS Thanks to EarnIn for sponsoring the show.

Two percent of venture capital money goes toward women-owned businesses. Still, in 2023. It’s still somewhat shocking to me. Our guest, Melody McCloskey, co-founder and CEO of StyleSeat, the premier platform for booking beauty and wellness appointments, is one of those lucky 2 %. She started her business in 2011, ironically right next to the two Instagram founders who would ask her thoughts on what Instagram photo filters she liked. As a woman, she’s learned how to grow a business from the ground up and push through the boundaries of being a female tech business owner, what you need to know to pitch yourself for venture capital funds the right way, and why it’s so important to have a good money team in place.

What do you think about manifesting? Maybe you don’t believe it’s possible, or you’ve tried it, and it never seems to work. Kathleen Cameron, a world-famous manifestation coach who has worked with Hollywood celebrities and Wall Street heavy hitters and is the author of, The Best Of Yourself, wants you to know that you can’t just create a vision board and cross your fingers hoping it will all work out. Instead, Kathleen says, “Manifesting is becoming aware of a version of yourself already there and then dialing into that version.” Ok, I’m intrigued. Kathleen and I share a very honest and open conversation in this episode. Kathleen is plus-sized and always felt a lot of shame and guilt around that. Then she discovered manifesting and believed that she could manifest the life she desired while still being plus-sized…and it started to work. Life started to change, and her money situation started to change. She believes you can also create change without changing who you are.

Should I get a prenup? A question from Brian and Tracey inspired this episode of Ask Shannah. 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 about these hot-button documents. Jennifer Guimond-Quigley is joining us on this episode to demystify what you need to know about prenups and break down the differences between postnups in a fun and easily digestible way (no crazy lawyer speak here, just a totally educational and enjoyable conversation).

Did you know that you could build wealth with franchise investing? The idea of franchising started way back in the Middle Ages, but it really started to pick up steam in the 1960s with the creation of turnpikes and President Eisenhower’s Interstate Highway System. That’s when franchising really had its heyday, but in the last couple of decades, franchising has been looked down on and passed over as an opportunity to build wealth. But the tide is changing. Our guest, Kenny Rose, CEO and founder of FranShares, created a platform that democratizes franchise investing so it could become accessible to everyone. The beauty is that you no longer need to own a franchise, which could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Instead, you can invest in franchises and generate passive income for much less. It’s an interesting concept for sure, and I’m personally happy that franchising is having a renaissance because it’s a business model that has worked for so many people it would be silly to overlook it. In this episode, you’ll learn: What is franchise investing? What makes a franchise profitable? Why should you invest in a franchise right now? And so much more, you’ll want to take notes on this episode. Links FranShares Kenny on LinkedIn SPONSORS Thanks to EarnIn for sponsoring the show.

You can tell me, what’s your favorite thing to spend money on every week that just makes you feel good? These little treats, we all do them. And guess what, we all feel really good when we make an impulse buy - it’s like a quick dopamine hit, a rush. So that you know, you’re not alone - 55+ million people on TikTok have created a trend called “little treat culture.” It’s a trend where people impulsively treat themselves for a quick boost of happiness. So, with 55+ million people strong, I think this is something we need to talk about. On today’s episode, Ashley Lapato, money and lifestyle expert @theorganizedwallet, helps me break down little treat culture. Ashely says, “Eliminating impulsive spending isn't the solution, but unsubscribing from the narrative that “little treats” mean you're bad with money (ahem, avocado toast). Instead, give yourself permission to budget for impulsive "little treats," knowing that it will bring you joy today and won’t take away from your financial goals tomorrow."

This vault Ask Shannah episode was inspired by a question from Bri: "Thank you for being the FIRST person to support me through my financial journey as an adult. I’m currently healing from many different emotions surrounding money. My question for you is about credit cards with perks. I got a few cards totaling 4,000 that I’m paying down, but I didn’t realize I was doing a disservice to myself by not utilizing cards with perks (travel, rewards). Should I be moving toward paying off and closing 2/3 of those cards or pay off/down and try to add those smarter cards to my life? Thanks again for all you do, you’ve changed my life for the better.

How often do you think about money and for bonus points, what are those thoughts? The truth is, we all have financial anxiety. But if you are spinning in anxious money thoughts and unsure how to get out of that loop, this episode is for you. As Lindsay Bryan-Podvin, a biracial financial therapist and wellness expert and author of the book “The Financial Anxiety Solution” says, “Anxiety is a normal and healthy stress response that all humans have - if their nervous system is working appropriately and it might come along with some physical symptoms - sweaty palms, heart racing, etc..” The goal isn’t to never feel anxiety around money because that just isn’t possible. The goal is to have a normal and healthy anxiety response - and one that you can move through. So, how do you get there? In this episode, Lindsay shares the role your childhood, particularly 0-age 8, might play in those anxious thoughts, how money anxiety impacts your daily life, some great exercises to move through those anxious thoughts, and how understanding your money personality will help you play to your money strengths.

Women, want to learn how to confidently take control of your money? First, we’ve got a lot of things working against us. We start and stop our careers many times for kids and family members, and we live longer than men on average because of that, we typically spend our money taking care of our male partner and tend to avoid talking about money. It makes sense why, as our guest Jenifer Sapel, a financial advisor and owner of Utor Wealth, said at the beginning of this episode - we’re often talked to like infants. But Jen cautions us that context is important. You see, the financial services industry was designed by and for cis white men. So, as women, we’ve got to start talking about money, educating ourselves about money, and aligning our money with our values. Jen brings it all in this conversation, where she shares the 3 phases of your financial life that you need to know about, why we need to break the model of ranking things from best to worst when it comes to money, and why you need to know that wherever you’re starting from is perfectly ok - learning about money is a lifetime practice. And you don’t want to miss our conversation about fun financial facts about women - like that banks could legally require a man’s signature for a woman to apply for a loan all the way until 1988. That’s not that long ago. The opinions voiced in this podcast are for general information only and are not intended to provide specific advice or recommendations for any individual.

I think most of us will say Yes, this is me, and you know what, these feelings in your body are all common. But, according to our guest Bridgitte Mallinson, a functional medicine dietitian, business mentor & the founder and CEO of GutPersonal, a supplement company that empowers everyone to eliminate gut issues for good through a personalized approach, those feelings are not normal, and you don’t have to live with them. I know you’re thinking, what does your gut have to do with money? Hear me out - it’s hard to make good money choices if you don't feel good.

Am I saving enough? Will I have the money I need to retire? Is it okay to spend money on traveling and having fun? Am I being irresponsible with my finances? How do I really know if I’m doing well financially? This episode was inspired by a listener question from Lizbeth, who sent me this message, “Shannah, I feel like I’m in a bit of a tailspin. I know you always say that making different money decisions depends on your goals. And I’ve learned so much from this show and from your honesty about money over the last few years. But I’m in a weird space. I just don't know how I’m doing financially. I know I shouldn’t care about how well I stack up, and I’m trying my best, but it just feels like I’m alone out here making money decisions that I don’t know if they are right or not. Can you give me any pointers on how to know if I’m doing ok financially?” LINKS MENTIONED 1:1 Money Coaching Information (LIMITED TIME OFFER) Freebie - Spending Plan Template downloadable SPONSORS Thanks to Factor for sponsoring the show.

In this Ask Shannah episode, I'm sharing how to master 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, 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 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."

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.

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.

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 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."

In this vault podcast episode, I chat with Mindy Weinstein, author of "The Power of Scarcity," about the role scarcity plays in our daily lives, particularly in your relationship with money. Mindy explains that scarcity is the strongest influence factor and is the unavailability of something, whether it's hard to get or simply unavailable. Scarcity plays a significant role in your money decisions, as you tend to focus on getting something that is popular or hard to obtain, even if you don't necessarily need it. Mindy shares research studies that show how scarcity affects your decision-making process at a subconscious level, which is really fascinating. We also do a deep dive into insights about how to avoid making impulsive purchases driven by scarcity. I'm very guilty of that!

What can the dying teach us about money? Turns out, it’s a lot. It’s an interesting question that, if you’re like me, you don’t think about a lot on a daily basis. Sometimes it’s even hard to imagine that one day I just won’t exist anymore. Not to get too morbid with you, but as they say, the only two truths in life are death and taxes. So, I think we can learn a lot about the role money should play in our life from someone who is dying.

In this Ask Shannah, I tackle a question from Jasmine that you might be able to relate to. "Dear Shannah, I can’t tell you know much I love this show. It has helped me immensely. In fact, when I had drinks with my friends recently I was telling them how my money situation hasn’t gotten a lot better, meaning I’m not making a lot more money, but girl, I feel a lot better about it. I used to wake up with stress sweats over money almost every night. I live in NYC and it’s expensive, like really expensive. So my question is this - I really try really hard to budget and do everything you say to do. And they help, really they do, but lately, I’ve been struggling. I feel like I’m always underestimating my expenses and then I get to the end of the month and the money that’s supposed to be there isn’t. What am I doing wrong? Any clues to help me get back on track? These last couple of years I’ve felt like I’m moving backward with my money even though I actually feel better about money. Anyway…I’d love your thoughts on this.

Before we get there, this episode was inspired by a recent Ask Shannah from Gwen who said, “Hi Shannah, I appreciate all your episodes. I’m learning so much about money it’s kinda blowing my mind. I have a sort of bizarre question that I want to run by you. My partner and I are thinking about moving in together. Not because I think we’re ready for it but honestly to save some money. Everything is so much more expensive that it’s hard to make ends meet and still have money left over for any semblance of a dating life. I know it’s a big risk to move in with someone before you are ready but honestly, I don’t know what else makes sense other than moving in and saving some money. We figured we would save around $1500ish each a month between rent, utilities, groceries, and more.

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."

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.

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. 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."

What does a rich life look like? Our guest, Scarlett Cochran, founder of One Big Happy Life and author of the new book, It’s Not About The Money: A Proven Path to Building Wealth and Living the Rich Life Your Deserve, argues that a rich life has to be about more than the amount of money you have, the car you drive, and the house you live in. A rich life starts by asking yourself some powerful questions. Armed with the answers to those questions, you can then start to fill in the money part. And the best part about building a rich life is that it can look like whatever you want. The problem is you are so used to defining your life by your money when instead it just needs to be the other way around. How about we dive into this all with Scarlett and talk about what she calls the 3 purposes of money, what is getting in the way of us living a rich life, and we’ll ponder the idea that once you reach $75,000 in income you’ve hit your happiness peak.

But that doesn’t change the fact that Wall Street is on pins and needles and the stock market has seen a fair share of ups and downs in the last 6 months. According to the Wall Street Journal, Despite signs that inflation has started to recede, economists still expect higher interest rates to push the U.S. economy into a recession in the coming year. On average, business and academic economists polled by the Journal put the probability of a recession in the next 12 months at 61%. What I really wanted to know, and my guess is you do too, is what in the world should you do with your investments in a recession. I called in Money’s Investing Editor, Mallika Mitra to weigh in on how you should be thinking about investing this year, tips to move past fear-based investing, what percentage of your paycheck should you be investing with, and why are women handling the stock market twists and turns better than men. It’s fascinating. LINKS Money Investing With Money SPONSORS Thanks to ShipStation for sponsoring the show. Go to ShipStation.com today and sign up with promo code MYMONEY for a FREE 60-day trial.

What does it take to live an abundant life? That feels like a pie-in-the-sky question to ask, but I want you to just entertain the thought for a moment. What does abundance look like to you? While money might be the first thing that pops into your head, I challenge you to think about abundance not simply as a dollar amount, but as a way that you want to live your life - what you want to do, where you want to work, how you want to spend your time and how you want to feel. I’ve been super interested in this idea of abundance and how to bring what you want to do in life into reality so I turned to the abundance expert herself, Cathy Heller. You may know Cathy from her super popular podcast, The Cathy Heller Podcast, or her book, Don’t Keep Your Day Job. Cathy believes that creating true abundance is about this simple formula - your mindset plus action. As Cathy says, “it all starts with optimism. You have to feel a level of possibility for the things you want to do in life and that starts with a vision and the thoughts you have around that vision.” This episode is a joy explosion full of Cathy’s inspiring words and practical steps to help you start walking in abundance this year.

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

This Ask Shannah episode was inspired by a question from Bri: "Thank you for being the FIRST person to support me through my financial journey as an adult. I’m currently healing from many different emotions surrounding money. My question for you is about credit cards with perks. I got a few cards totaling 4,000 that I’m paying down but I didn’t realize I was doing a disservice to myself by not utilizing cards with perks (travel, rewards). Should I be moving toward paying off and closing 2/3 of those cards or pay off/down and try to add those smarter cards to my life? Thanks again for all you do, you’ve changed my life for the better.

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

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

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

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

Have you ever tried to achieve a money goal and felt like you never make any progress? Or do you cringe anytime something comes out of the blue that you need to spend money on? Or do you walk around feeling completely uneasy about your money situation? If you answered yes to either of these questions you are not alone. You see, money is about more than numbers. It’s about our very complex relationship with money that was set in motion even before we were born, believe it or not. All these years you’ve been collecting information about how you think, act, and feel about money and this information has been working somewhat in the background without feeling like you have any control. As our much-beloved guest, Ken Honda says, “it’s like you have a mold in you that attracts a certain relationship with money until you recognize it and start to make changes, nothing else will change.” Ken is a money and happiness expert and a best-selling self-development author in Japan. His book “Happy Money” is one that will forever be on my bookshelf, and if you haven’t read it, now is the time. When I was thinking about how to end this year on Everyone’s Talkin’ Money podcast and get you prepared to be in a better relationship with money, I knew you had to hear from Ken. In this episode, Ken shares how to figure out what is enough for you so you aren’t sucked into believing that more is better, how to redefine your relationship with money so you can bring in some ease, and how to do the work to let go of your money fears for good.

Are you more of a giver or a receiver when it comes to helping others? I definitely love giving more than receiving…in fact I’m a terrible gift receiver. Giving effectively isn’t always easy. Our guest, Grace Nicolette, co-host of the Giving Done Right Podcast and Vice President of Programming and External Relations at the Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP), is here to help you figure out how to give effectively whether it’s now at the end of the year or whether you want to create a giving plan for next year. Grace answers some of your toughest questions like How much do I give? Where should I give? And How do I know if I’m making a difference — or if I’m actually doing more harm than help? I’m hoping this episode inspires you to think about giving in a different way and to find an organization or cause that you deeply care about. It is true that even a little can make a big difference when it comes to giving. Let’s start talkin’.

Travel is back and millions are ready to get out there and start experiencing it all again. However, there’s a new reality. What happens if you get sick or injured while you’re away? You might think that you just pick up your insurance card and all will be taken care of. Not so fast. Did you know that getting sick or hurt on a vacation can lead to some pretty wicked consequences like a huge bill that could drain your bank account? That’s where travel insurance comes in. I absolutely love to travel, but honestly, it wasn’t until the 2020 pandemic shut down the world that I really realized that travel insurance is totally worth it. And the best part, as our guest Omar Kaywan from Goose Insurance says, travel insurance is only about 10% of your travel cost. So if your trip cost $2000, travel insurance would only cost around $200 max. Omar shares: What is travel insurance and why you need it Exactly what to do if you get sick or injured on a vacation What to look for in a travel insurance policy How to figure out what it doesn’t cover Why you might need travel insurance even if you’re traveling in the US.

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room - inflation. You hear about inflation everywhere and feel it every time you fill up your car at the gas station or pop into the store to buy some food. Inflation is currently around 7.7%, which is the highest it has been since the early 1980s, and it looks like it’s here to stay much longer than Pumpkin Spiced Lattes. You might be asking, who benefits from inflation and where’s my inflation relief? It’s not all bad though - higher inflation typically means higher interest rates on your savings accounts which will have your emergency fund singing hallelujah for a change. So I went to my fellow podcaster, Chris Browning, host of the award-winning short-form podcast Popcorn Finance to join us for a conversation all about inflation. This episode isn’t filled with boring stats, instead, Chris shares thought-provoking details like the psychology behind inflation, a deep dive into potential pros for inflation, and the exact steps you need to take to set your money up in 2023 to help combat inflation.

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’.

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.

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?

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.

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’.

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’. LINKS The Anatomy of Anxiety book Ellen's website Ellen on Instagram SPONSORS Thanks to ShipStation for sponsoring the show.

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.

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.

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.

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’s Planet Money podcast, and host of a new podcast called What’s Your Problem took 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.

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.” SPONSORS Thanks to Chime for sponsoring the show.

Did you know there is $195 billion of medical debt outstanding?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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) Episode Sponsors Thanks to Chime for sponsoring the show.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.” Links Muse Muse mobile app Ariel Garten on LinkedIn Episode Sponsors Get started with Issuu today for FREE or if you sign up for a premium account you will get 50% off when you go to ISSUU.com/mymoney.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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? Episode Sponsors Find out how Upstart can lower your monthly debt payments today when you go to UPSTART.com/mymoney.

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.

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.
