We believe that access to unbiased and jargon-free personal finance guidance is more necessary than ever before.

How to Money

The pace at which technology advances is straight up disorienting in our current age. So much so, that it’s likely digital natives and even our kids who can figure out new tech gadgets faster than we can! For those of you who are using apps and AI regularly but not feeling like a pro – you’re worried about your privacy, passwords, & data as you navigate the online world – this episode is for you. Nathan Bartram founded TheNewOil.org in 2018 to equip everyday folks with the resources, websites, and alternatives they need to navigate the online world with confidence. We discuss why to even be concerned about privacy at all, favorite password managers, why Nathan detests Amazon, basic steps that everyone should take, and plenty more!

Friday Flight - Bad RAPs, Price Match Murder, & Premium Points Credit Cards #1020

Finally… a freshie! We’re done with bestie episodes for the summer and are excited to sit down and fill everyone in on what we’ve been up to for the past six weeks. We recount how lucky and blessed we are to be able to take a break from our 9-5, share some of our favorite ways we saved money while traveling (somehow in our first episode back we managed to discuss Aldi and Costco for those playing HTM bingo at home), and we only begin to touch on some of the lessons and takeaways from our time off. Active volcanoes, beef tongue, regenerative braking, EVs, lunchables, and padcrashing all make an appearance!
 
 
 
Thank you for hanging in there and we are excited to get back to our regularly programmed money earning-saving-spending-investing content. Y’all are the best listeners!

WE BACK - Frugal Fun, Travel Tips, & Sabbatical Takeaways #1019

We’re glad Ikea exists. The ability for a vast majority of the population to get their hands on some incredibly functional, well designed, and affordable furniture is a good thing. But, you’re also unlikely to pass Ikea furniture down to your kids or for that matter, use it for more than a handful of years. Compare that to a campaign dresser from the 1800s! It’s true that they don’t make them like they used to. The same is true when it comes to modern financial advice. There’s a lot of ‘wisdom’ floating around out there that is self-serving at best, and deceptive and predatory at worst. So in today’s episode we pull some ancient wisdom from the Bible, Stoicism, and other wisdom traditions from hundreds to thousands of years before our time. Then we connect that ancient wisdom to our modern times to help you to determine what you should be doing with your money.

Jesus Christ Super-Saver: Ancient Wisdom & Your Money (Bestie Ep) #1018

Have you ever renovated a home? If so, then you remember all of the decisions that you had to make that initially were a lot of fun. Paint colors, light fixtures, tile, even the kind of toilet you wanted… but eventually it gets old and you just want it done. If you can’t relate, even picking up a loaf of bread at the grocery store can be overwhelming- “Should I get honey wheat, 100% whole wheat, 13 grain, the stuff with flax?!” While it can be nice to have options, complicating things doesn’t always make them better. And when it comes to investing, the opposite is actually true. Decision fatigue is what we’re talking about and there can be so many distractions that keep us from reaching our financial goals. Lump sum vs dollar cost averaging, international stocks, ESG investing, real estate, hiring a financial advisor- these are just a few of the potential distractions that we discuss in today’s episode.

How Complicated Should Investing Be? (Bestie Ep) #1017

We’re stoked to be talking with our friend Chad Carson, aka Coach Carson, which is also where you can find him online: CoachCarson.com. We’ve known Chad for years now but just because this feels like a more casual conversation to us, that doesn’t mean that he’s not going to bring the heat! We tout the benefits of small-time real estate investing, but Chad has made it his mission, and it’s the focus of his new book: Small and Mighty Real Estate Investor. During our conversation today Chad describes his experience of living abroad for a year with his family and how investing in real estate made that possible, house hacking as a gateway drug to investing in real estate, the difference between building wealth and achieving freedom, the risk you run by discounting the ‘romance’ of a property, ways to get around the high cost of mortgage lending, why it makes sense to pay off a mortgage early, and much more!
