Southern Fried Business Connor Morganti

I've been in the business world for over 30 years, specifically the financial industry.  But no matter the industry, I've worked with all types of people.  Some weird, some wonderful, some horrible.  Listen in to hear about the top things I've learned so far that might help you...

What came first?  The chicken or the egg?

The lifelong debate still rages on today.

If you didn't already know, I love animals.  Since moving to Colorado 12 or so years ago, I've wanted a chicken coop.  There's something about fostering the circle of life.  And bonus!  EGGS!!!  My friend, Kerrie calls them my little dinosaurs.  They are so funny and such a joy.

However, Brett and I have argued about the cost benefit (or detriment) to having chickens and if its worth it.  Can you guess?  Is it?

At this moment in time, we are in a huge flux - and not in a good way.  Interest rates are up, gas prices are the highest they've ever been, food is expensive, and so on.  I'm hoping that you haven't felt the squeeze, and won't, but just in case I've assembled 10 tips on how to recession proof your money.  BTW, they're also great tips for any old time you're ready for a financial refresh.  Take a listen...

You've heard the term Cash is king.

If cash is king, then leverage is the Queen.

Leverage can be your best friend.  Or it can be "Mean Girls" on steroids.  Remember The Great Recession of 2008?  I sure do.  If you're younger than me, you might have lived through it by watching your parents struggle.  That is a perfect example of leverage gone wrong.

I know how frustrating money can be.  Making it, learning about it, managing your hang ups over it.

Sometimes it takes a trusted advisor to bring a fresh perspective to your world, to get clarity & grow with confidence.

I CAN HELP YOU TOO.

No really, I’m totally looking at you.

Now, before you get up in my grill and tell me what a horrible person I am, let me explain...

Have you ever tried to play tennis?  Golf?  Soccer?  If you’ve ever played any of these sports before, you know how hard it is to just start.  Hand-Eye (or feet) coordination is super hard until you start practicing.  And usually you have some sort of coach that will guide you on knowledge and technique.  And eventually it begins to get easier and easier.  Hopefully, after a while, you might actually get pretty good.

Heck, I just enrolled my daughter in tennis camp and I’m using it as an excuse to get back into the game too.  I haven’t played since college, so guess what?  I’m going to suck.  Again.  Just like “The Water Boy” - we suck again!  But I used to love it, so its worth me trying again. And again.

Odds are, you never received any sort of money education.  Either at home or at school.  I know I didn’t.  When it comes to money, I went to the School of Hard Knocks.  I learned on the fly, and I usually did it wrong.  What better way to learn than trial by fire.  Am I right?

An older, silly sketch from SNL was Stuart Smalley, and he would gaze into the mirror and tell himself that, “you’re good enough, you’re smart enough, and gosh darn it - people like me.”  Girl, you have to do that too!  We females are way too hard on ourselves for everything under the sun, and money is no exception.

Are you ready to not suck at money?  I’ve got your back girl!

Just like The Dave Chappell Show, its time to Wrap It Up...

Even if you’re just dipping your toe into your 50’s, the thought of retirement is on your mind.  You now have less than 15 years or so to get your S#&T together.

So, what should you be doing at this point?  Well, first of all, you should be going back on my last 3 episodes to revisit all the items in your 20’s through 40’s and checking off all those first.  

Today, I'm chatting about:

Retirement Benefits Analysis, Long Term Care Insurance, and Estate Tax Strategies.  Also known as, running out of money, living too long and paying too much in taxes.
