    Signs You Might Need Help

    Signs You Might Need Help

    "Sign, sign, everywhere a sign." -Five Man Electrical Band
    What are the signs that you might need some financial help?
    What are some things to look for or listen for to determine whether you might want to talk to a financial coach? Signs that you might need to seek legal counsel?
    On this week's episode of the Crushing Debt Podcast, George and Shawn talk about the various signs that someone might need help, or might be in trouble financially. 
    There are some common signs, like living paycheck to paycheck.
    There are some signs that suggest you may need some coaching or accountability, like help creating a budget, being on the "hamster wheel," avoiding your mail, using cards for necessities, and feeling like you need to "keep up with the Joneses."
    There are some signs that you need to seek out legal counsel, like getting sued, getting calls from creditors, bouncing checks or overdrawing your account, or an inability to pay for necessities. 
    "Do this don't do that. Can't you read the sign?"

    How do we minimize the negative impact of debt during each stage of our life?
    In there a difference in how debt during young adulthood, mid-life, and retirement?

    Money Stress and Triggers

    Money Stress and Triggers

    What are some financial stressors out there?
    What triggers your financial stress?
    What is Surge Pricing?  Dynamic Pricing?
    In this week's episode, Shawn & George talk about the various things that can cause financial stress.  Situations like: bankruptcy & foreclosure, job loss, reduced work hours or income, lack of savings, debt, health care costs, separation or divorce, the loss of a spouse, taxes, food and living expenses, and housing expenses among others.
    Did we miss any?  What are some of your financial stressors and how do you deal with them?
    Then, we talk about surge pricing or dynamic pricing - something that theme parks, airlines and uber have been doing for years. When the price of something increases during peak usage time, and decreases during non-peak usage time, that's surge pricing. Blackout dates are another good example of surge pricing. Recently, Wendy's announced (and then recanted) that they were going to implement surge pricing. Imagine a cheeseburger being more expensive during lunch than at 3 in the afternoon. Or image junk food being more expensive late at night than early in the morning.
    Wendy’s says ‘dynamic pricing’ is different from ‘surge pricing,’ but whatever it’s called may still alienate customers (yahoo.com)

    Living With Mom and Dad

    Living With Mom and Dad

    If you have adult kids living with you, do you charge them rent?
    If you are living with your parents, do you pay or contribute to household expenses?
    Do you support your friends or family financially?
    Are you a part of the sandwich generation?
    This week, George and Shawn tackle the topic of contributing to household expenses. Nearly 1/3 of 18 - 34 year olds are living at home with mom and dad, and nearly 3/4 of them are contributing financially, according to an article on Yahoo.com - https://finance.yahoo.com/news/sure-hope-won-t-let-120000054.html
    In addition, more than 20% of all americans are relying on friends or family for additional support - https://finance.yahoo.com/news/over-1-5-americans-counting-173000561.html
    We talk about why these numbers are relevant, as well as when you should start talking to your kids about money, and about contributing to the household.
