    The Moral Cost of Today’s Housing Market

    Housing is expensive. But for Catholic families, the consequences go far beyond the mortgage payment. In this episode of The Catholic Money Show, Amanda and Jonathan look at America’s housing affordability crisis through the lens of Catholic social teaching. When families can no longer afford to live near their work, extended family, or parish, housing begins to affect family formation, community life, work, and even our ability to fully participate in the life of the Church. Amanda and Jonathan discuss: Why today’s housing problem is more than an economic issueThe Church’s teaching on a family’s right to decent housingHow housing costs can affect marriage, children, and parish lifeThe ethical questions surrounding private property, the common good, development, and private equityWhy younger generations are facing a genuinely different housing marketWhether renting can actually be the prudent financial choiceMultigenerational living as a strategy rather than a failureHow to decide what matters most when choosing where to liveWhy homeownership should come at the right point in your financial planPractical ways to prepare for buying a home without overextending yourselfWhy Catholic employers and institutions need to think seriously about wages and family lifeHow prayer and discernment belong in major financial decisionsThe housing market may be difficult, but that does not mean your family has no path forward.

    Ramsey: “Stop Having These Babies Right Now.” REALLY?????

    In this episode of The Catholic Money Show, Jonathan and Amanda react to financial advice telling couples who are living paycheck to paycheck or paying off debt to “stop having babies.” They explain why that advice falls short of a Catholic understanding of marriage, fertility, stewardship, and openness to life. Jonathan and Amanda also clarify an important point: serious circumstances can lead a married couple to prayerfully discern postponing pregnancy for a time. However, that discernment is deeply personal and cannot be reduced to a blanket rule that financial progress should come before children. In this episode: Why debt does not automatically mean couples should delay childrenThe difference between Catholic discernment and a contraceptive mentalityWhy financial goals must remain ordered to your vocationHow children can motivate families to become more intentional with moneyWhy waiting for the “perfect time” can become its own trapWhen serious financial hardship may warrant temporary discernmentWhy one-income and two-income families can both make prudent choicesHow the Church’s teaching helps Catholics navigate difficult circumstancesWhy financial advice from non-Catholic sources often requires careful sifting For more candid Catholic conversations about money, join the WalletWin Weekly Newsletter at: https://walletwin.com/newsletter Music in this episode is by Dylan Gardner – ⁠⁠⁠⁠check out his album Almost Real⁠⁠ ⁠⁠on ⁠⁠⁠⁠iTunes⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠, or wherever you listen to great music.

    Being Broke Costs You More Than Money

    Everybody has a season when money is tight. But what happens when that season never seems to end? In this episode of The Catholic Money Show, Amanda and Jonathan look at research connecting persistent financial hardship with slower processing speed, and changes in the brain later in life. They also compare two difficult seasons from their own family’s story. One unfolded against a backdrop of constant financial instability. The other included even heavier circumstances—but felt less destructive because they had stronger financial systems and deeper trust in God. They discuss: Why financial stress consumes so much mental bandwidthThe difference between simple living and feeling financially trappedHow prolonged money stress can affect decisions, relationships, and your ability to serve othersWhy one difficult year does not define your futureHow to begin creating stability through budgeting, emergency savings, getting a month ahead, and paying off debtWhy financial recovery requires an intentional planHow asking for help—or becoming someone else’s Simon of Cyrene—can lighten the loadBeing broke can cost you far more than money. But you do not have to remain stuck in financial chaos.

    “What Then Shall We Do?” A Guided Lectio Divina on Money

    In this special episode of The Catholic Money Show, Jonathan leads a guided Lectio Divina on Luke 3:7–18. As the crowds, tax collectors, and soldiers ask John the Baptist, “What then shall we do?” his answers become surprisingly practical: share what you have, take no more than you are owed, do not exploit others, and be content with your wages. Jonathan invites you to slow down, listen to the passage, notice the words or phrases that stand out, and bring what arises into an honest conversation with God. In this episode, you will reflect on: Whether your financial life is bearing good fruitWhere God may be asking you to changeHow generously you share what you haveWhether you take more than what is rightfully yoursWhat contentment with your wages looks likeHow John the Baptist might view the way you use moneyWhat practical action God may be asking you to takeThis episode is adapted from one of the Scripture studies available inside Catholic Money Academy.

    Are Student Loans Keeping You From Retiring?

    In this special episode of The Catholic Money Show, Jonathan and Amanda Teixeira join Timmerie on Relevant Radio to talk about two money conversations affecting Catholics in very different seasons of life: student loans and dating. First, they discuss how student loans are following many people into retirement, especially those who borrowed for college, graduate school, or Parent PLUS loans for their children. Jonathan and Amanda explain why minimum payments can keep people stuck for decades, how student loans can affect retirement plans, and why it is important to make a real payoff strategy before fixed income becomes a reality. Then, the conversation shifts to Catholic dating and money. Should income, career plans, debt, or future family life be deal breakers before someone even gets a first date? Jonathan and Amanda talk about the difference between wise discernment and harsh evaluation, why financial conversations should unfold gradually, and how character, growth, prayer, and openness to God’s call matter more than having every detail figured out from the beginning. In this episode: Why student loans are delaying retirement for many families How minimum payments can keep debt around for decades Why Parent PLUS loans can create pressure later in life What to consider before relying on reverse mortgages or retirement debt strategies Why saving for the future should not become an idol How Catholic families can balance prudence with living fruitfully today Why dating should be more about encounter than evaluation When to start talking about money in a dating relationship How financial intimacy grows over time Why character matters more than a perfect financial profile This episode is a helpful conversation for anyone carrying student loans, preparing for retirement, dating with marriage in mind, or trying to bring Catholic wisdom into real financial decisions.

    How We Made $5,000 While on Vacation

    In this episode of The Catholic Money Show, Jonathan and Amanda share how they made over $5,000 while they were away on a two-week family vacation. While their family was camping through Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons they were also renting out a few assets they already owned: their camper van and their family home. By the time the trip was over, the income they earned had more than covered the cost of the vacation. Jonathan and Amanda break down what happened, how much the trip cost, where the income came from, and why this kind of side income can be a smart tool for a growing family. They also talk about the Catholic side of this conversation: stewardship, prudence, the common good, and why passive income should never become a golden calf. In this episode: How Jonathan and Amanda made over $5,000 while on vacation Why camping can be a lower-cost way to travel as a family How they used Airbnb and RV rentals to offset vacation costs Why “passive income” is not actually passive The difference between stewardship and chasing easy money How Ecclesiastes 11:2 speaks to diversifying income Why renting out assets can serve both your family and the common good Questions to ask before starting a side income stream Small rental ideas for families who do not own an RV or second home Why prudence matters before investing time, money, and energy into a new income stream If you have ever wondered whether your family could create extra income without taking on a second full-time job, this episode will help you think creatively and prudently about what you already have.

    Being Open to Life Through Adoption

    In this special episode of The Catholic Money Show, Jonathan Teixeira joins Mark Swartzberg on Relevant Radio to talk about adoption, fatherhood, and what it means to be open to life. Jonathan shares part of his family’s story, including how infertility shaped their path to parenthood, and how each of their five children came into their family through infant adoption. The conversation touches on the beauty of adoptive fatherhood, the real unity of family, and why adoption is not a lesser form of parenthood. Jonathan also reflects on the language of adoption in the Catholic faith and how being adopted into the family of God can help us understand the dignity and permanence of adoptive family life. For couples who are discerning adoption, Jonathan offers practical encouragement: pray, talk honestly with your spouse, speak with adoptive families, and do not be afraid to ask questions. 📌 In this episode: Jonathan’s experience as an adoptive father How infertility became part of Jonathan and Amanda’s family story Why adoption is a true and complete form of parenthood How Catholic teaching helps illuminate the meaning of adoption Why Saint Joseph can be a meaningful model for adoptive fathers Practical first steps for couples discerning adoption Why talking with adoptive families can help remove fear and uncertainty How openness to life can look different than a couple first expected Adoption is not a backup plan. For many families, it becomes the very way God builds the family He intended from the beginning. This episode is a thoughtful conversation for anyone discerning adoption, supporting adoptive families, or reflecting on what it means to receive children as a gift from God.
