    Ep 96-Husbands vs Wives...Who Should Call the Shots?

    This episode dives into the dynamics of financial management within a marriage, discussing who should take the lead in budgeting. Austin and Bob highlight that there is no one-size-fits-all approach; instead, it depends on the unique strengths, preferences, and circumstances of each couple. While traditionally, wives may take the lead due to their attention to detail, there's a growing trend of husbands stepping up to manage finances, emphasizing that both roles are valid depending on the couple's dynamics. They discuss various scenarios where one spouse might naturally be better suited to handle the finances, while the other might need to learn and adapt. Austin and Bob stress the importance of mutual agreement and cooperation, noting that while one person may take the lead, successful financial management in a marriage requires both partners to be involved and communicate effectively. The episode underscores that the key to deciding who should manage the budget lies in who has the time, skill, and willingness to take on the responsibility, ensuring that it aligns with the couple’s overall financial goals and relationship dynamics.

    Ep 92-Why Investing May Not Be a Good Savings Strategy

    In the final episode of the savings series, the conversation focuses on distinguishing between savings and investing. Savings involves putting money in a bank or money market account, offering low risk and moderate returns, mainly for short-term goals and emergencies. Investing, on the other hand, involves higher risk for potentially higher returns over the long term, such as through stocks or mutual funds. Austin and Bob highlight the importance of understanding the right time and place for each strategy, particularly for those new to financial management. They emphasize that a balanced approach, including both savings for security and investing for growth, is crucial. They discuss the limitations and benefits of various options like high-yield savings accounts, CDs, and market investments, stressing the need for diversification. Additionally, they note that individuals' decisions should be tailored to their specific financial situations and goals, taking into account factors like risk tolerance and time horizon.  Ready to take the next step in gaining control over your money?  1. ⁠Watch my free training on the 5 budget categories you need to be in control of your money⁠ 2. ⁠Register for my FREE masterclass “Financial Freedom Blueprint” here⁠ Or 3.
