Money Talk

In this week’s episode of Money Talk, I’m joined by Shari Rash, a nationally recognized financial advisor, money mindset expert, and host of Everyone’s Talking Money. Shari has been named a 2024 Best Wealth Manager and Advisor Under 40 by Investment News, and she brings incredible insight into how our mindset shapes the way we save, spend, and feel about our money. Together, we break down why numbers aren’t the whole story, how to use money as a tool to reach your goals, and the small mindset shifts that can completely change your financial life.Whether you’re someone who avoids money conversations entirely or a super-saver who still feels anxious about spending, this episode will help you understand your emotional relationship with money and give you practical strategies to create a healthier, happier approach. We talk about moving away from extremes, aligning your spending with your values, and the power of awareness when it comes to your first money memory.💰 This Week’s Money Talking Points:What kind of role does mindset play in our relationship with money?What’s an example of an unhealthy money mindset you might recognize in yourself?What does a healthy money mindset look like, and how can you start building one?🔗 Resources & Mentions:Shari Rash – Everyone’s Talking Money Podcast & Resources: everyonestalkingmoneypodcast.comShari’s Financial Planning Firm: GWA Wealth⏱ Time Stamps:[03:34] Shari shares how emotions shape our money decisions[07:22] The dangers of extreme saving and the “miser mindset”[11:45] Healthy money mindsets and aligning spending with your values[16:39] Automation and paying your “future self” first[27:00] Viewing money as a tool instead of an end goal[33:17] Building awareness with your first money memory[37:20] Shari’s advice for getting started and her personal reflectionSupport the showCheck out Financial Planning for Young Adults on SpotifySchedule a free Money Talk at https://moneytalk.show/chatGet your free Money Talk resources at https://moneytalk.show/resourcesFind even more Money Talk at moneytalk.show/quick-links"Upbeat Forever" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Want to be a guest on Money Talk?

In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Mark Teague to talk about something we all face but rarely discuss openly: life's curveballs. From unexpected job losses to career transitions and financial pressures, Mark shares his unique framework for handling whatever life throws your way. With a background that spans from growing up on a farm to leading teams in banking and finance, Mark brings both traditional wisdom and modern insights to help working families build resilience and meaningful legacies. We dive deep into his "blob versus frame" approach to problem-solving, discuss why inflation is crushing the working class, and explore how accepting life as a series of problems can actually make you more successful. This is a conversation about resilience, practical financial wisdom, and building a life that matters even when things don't go according to plan.💰 Money Talking PointsHow do you handle unexpected career or life transitions?What role does resilience play in financial success?How can working-class families build a meaningful legacy🔗 Resources & LinksMark's Website: aworkingmansguide.com🕰️ Key Timestamps[00:03:00] - Mark introduces the "blob versus frame" concept for problem-solving[00:09:00] - Why accepting life as a series of problems makes you a serious person others can rely on[00:12:50] - Simplify when pressure hits: break problems into separable components[00:16:40] - The burden of freedom: why you must be willing to change[00:22:20] - Inflation as a policy choice and why it's crushing working families[00:23:20] - Warning: we're marching toward a bond market crisis

In this episode, we're diving deep into why so many people feel smart about money but still struggle financially and more importantly, how to break free from that cycle. I sit down with Doug Lynam, a former Benedictine monk turned money manager, who brings a unique perspective on wealth, mindset, and what he calls our "money monsters." Doug shares how our childhood wounds and personality types shape our financial behaviors, often keeping us trapped in unhealthy patterns. We explore whether it's the financial system that keeps us stuck or our own mindset, and Doug offers practical steps to start taking control. This conversation is packed with insights about recognizing when you're stuck, understanding money as a tool rather than something to fear or worship, and finding your financial calling.

In this episode, I sit down with Jesse Hurst, CFP and CEO of Impel Wealth Management, to challenge one of the biggest misconceptions in personal finance: that all spending is bad. With over 30 years of experience helping clients navigate retirement, Jesse shares how financial planning isn't about restriction, it's about freedom. We explore the psychology behind the transition from saving to spending, why successful savers often struggle to enjoy their wealth in retirement, and how to develop a healthy relationship with money at every life stage. Whether you're a young adult just starting out or approaching retirement with millions saved, this conversation will help you find the balance between enjoying life today and securing your financial future.💰 This Week’s Money Talking PointsIs all spending bad?How can we develop a healthy relationship with spending?How can we find the balance in spending to enjoy life vs saving for the future?🕰️ Key Timestamps[00:02:14] Financial Planning is Freeing, Not Restrictive[00:04:00] The Accumulation vs Distribution Challenge[00:06:00] Understanding the 4% Withdrawal Rule[00:09:14] Barriers to Retirement Transitions[00:21:50] Annual Goal-Setting Exercise[00:27:57] Pop Culture and Financial Literacy🔗 Resources & LinksConnect with Jesse Hurst:Website: impelwealth.comBook: Popenomics - https://amzn.to/3JijUWCSkyler's New Podcast:Check out Financial Planning for Young Adults - deep dives into financial planning topics specifically for the next generation!Support the showCheck out Financial Planning for Young Adults on SpotifySchedule a free Money Talk at https://moneytalk.show/chatGet your free Money Talk resources at https://moneytalk.show/resourcesFind even more Money Talk at moneytalk.show/quick-links"Upbeat Forever" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Want to be a guest on Money Talk?
