Pay attention - not interest. For most, that's all it takes to get their money under control. That's how my wife and I got out of debt completely - EVEN THE MORTGAGE! And you can too! Join me as I share some extreme-but-proven ways for how money really works. The show isn't just about making a Money Plan (aka: a budget). Steve also explains what's really wrong with credit cards and credit scores (spoiler alert: It's not what you think). You'll also learn about rich habits, how various investing vehicles work, and how you can have no debt, no credit, and no problems! The show is retired, but still relevant in today's radically changing financial world. Begin with Episode 201, then go back and listen to the archives in your favorite podcast app! Money Plan SOS is the response to the call for help with your finances.

    What People Learned About Money By Blogging About Money

    #200: The MoneyPlan SOS podcast is now retired with this final episode. It was recorded LIVE at FinCon15 with nine bloggers who learned about money while blogging about money. In this final episode, nine financial bloggers answer the question, "Have you learned anything about money since blogging about money?" Eric Rosenberg (Narrow Bridge Media) Emily Guy Birken (Wisebread, Book: 5 Years Before You Retire) Katie Austin (Writes for ActiveHours.com) Todd Tresidder (FinancialMentor.com) Stefanie O'Connell (The Broke and Beautiful Life) Athena Lent (Being Fabulous Has No Price Tag) Miranda Marquit (Planting Money Seeds) JD Roth (Get Rich Slowly, new blog MoneyBoss.com) Eva Baker (TeensGotCents.com) _____________________________ The MoneyPlan SOS podcast is now retired #tear This was the final episode of the Money Plan SOS podcast. Why? Somehow, I became known in the FinCon community as a podcast guru (they even gave me a shirt that said FinCon Podcast Guru on the front). This pivot into a new career allows me to help others who podcast about financial literacy topics by editing/engineering their recordings. My new home-base is SteveStewart.me Thank you for being a listener. It's been a true honor to host this show and help anyone who will listen PAY ATTENTION - NOT INTEREST!

    Is Tithing Mandatory? Chris Brown from True Stewardship on Giving a Tithe

    #199: Is tithing mandatory for Christians? Chris Brown and I discuss this to get to the root of the problem - which has little to do with ten percent. Chris Brown has been a pastor for several years, speaking to congregations and audiences all over the United States. In this episode, Chris and I tackle this touchy subject of tithing: What is a tithe? Who is called to give a tithe? What about the "Old Testament vs New Testament" argument around giving a tithe? Are we asked to give a tithe based on the gross or net of our paychecks? Full show notes at https://moneyplansos.com/chris-brown-from-true-stewardship-is-tithing-mandatory-for-christians Connect with Chris Brown online: http://Twitter.com/chrisbrownonair http://Facebook.com/chrisbrownonair http://Instagram.com/chrisbrownonair Also in this episode: Ponda from the Honda: If a Billionaire doesn't have to buy a new car then why do we? Where is MoneyPlanSOS going? UPDATE: The MoneyPlan SOS podcast retired after episode 200. Steve is now editing podcasts for others in the personal finance genre, and he's still paying attention - not interest!

    Matt Ham has Redefined Rich

    #197: Matt Ham is an author, speaker, and small business owner. Five words uttered by a nurse changed the way he looks at life - and inspired him to redefine rich. Full notes with links at https://moneyplansos.com/matt-ham-has-redefined-rich/ Takeaways from this interview: It's not how much you give - it's how you give it (The Widow's Mite) We shouldn't feel guilty to spend and, surprisingly enough, we feel richer when we give. Whole Life Matters Podcast: http://www.mattham.com/itunes Redefine Rich book - Available on Amazon.com in Kindle and paperback __________________________________ 3 important things to remember when buying a car This post first appeared on LibertyInvestor.com Transportation is the third largest budgeting expense for most people. Housing and taxes can consume up to half of the average American's income, with cars sucking up between 5-20 percent - depending on number of vehicles and if the consumer is carrying auto loans. However, you can greatly reduce your vehicle costs by remembering these three things when buying a car: It's transportation It's a depreciating asset It's not forever The way we get the biggest bang for our buck when we buy a car right is when we buy it outright. Pay off your current car loan quickly, save what used to be your car payment for the next one, and pay attention - not a lease payment. _____________________________________ 'Ponda from the Honda Free chips, salsa and bread sticks.
