There’s no denying that this has been a trying time worldwide, with everyone having to deal with the coronavirus crisis in their own way. However, one thing that I don’t think gets mentioned enough is the mental toll it might be taking on everyone, particularly those in the healthcare industry. Other podcasts have been having listeners call in with their stories, giving them a chance to vent, and in doing so, it seems like it can be very healing. Yes, this is normally a podcast geared toward personal finance, and business news and tips, but it’s also about the journey through life as well. Our script. So I want to have this episode be a chance for anyone listening to leave a voice message through the Anchor app (be sure to check out the link in the show notes), to vent about whatever you would like. Do you have a story about the virus has affected you, that you might like to share? Any tips, information and the like that might be able to help others? Are you a healthcare professional that would like to share what we can do to help ease the burden? I want to hear from you.

Coming This Fall - Cheaper Gas Prices? 

Earlier today, the yield curve inverted, which previously has always been a sign leading up to a recession. I wanted to talk about a post from MarketWatch that I thought had some good information about it. Opinions seem to vary about what this might portend to, however, it should still be something to keep an eye on, especially over the next month or so.

Stock Market Selloff: The Yield Curve Inversion

For Episode 45, I take a deep dive into the app, Tally.    You can tell Tally that you would either like to pay the cards manually, or have it pay them on your behalf.  Tally will issue you a credit line that it uses to pay on your cards, with its own interest rate often being lower than most other cards available.  In some ways it is like a balance transfer of sorts, but can also pay on amounts for you, helping to lessen any potential for interest charges.    If you think you’d like to get going with it, be sure to check out our referral link, and we’ll both get a $20 Amazon gift card when you sign up!   Of course,  another great method for tracking your debt and paying it off is Undebt.it, another great tool that I’ve used in the past and highly recommend.  Plus if you’re a fan of You Need a Budget, it syncs with that as well!  Web Post:  https://script-notes.com/blog/2019/8/2/how-to-pay-off-debt-with-the-tally-app --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast.  https://anchor.fm/app--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/script-notes/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/script-notes/support

Budgets can be daunting.  It might seem like there is an endless laundry list of categories to keep track of at times.  That's where the 50-30-20 budget can come in handy.  The goal, is to limit your after tax income to 50% being allocated to needs, 30% to wants and 20% to savings (extra debt payments can count as savings).   As a Microsoft Excel junkie, after learning more about this method, I came up with a template that can mirror a lot of the techniques as it relates to this method of budgeting.  It's available on Etsy.  As a special thank you to my listeners, be sure to click the link here (if you have any issues with the link, don't hesitate to send an email to matt@script-notes.com) and get 20% off the template!  This link is for podcast listeners only.  Be sure to listen for the coupon code!  I hope this can help you, and others out, so please feel free to share!  I have other templates in the pipeline as well, so any proceeds will go to further that work, so thank you in advance! On a previous episode, I mentioned the concept of financial freedom, which got me to thinking about how it might relate to podcasting.  I asked if podcasting has led to being more financially free for you in Anchor's Slack channel for podcasters (sign up at anchor.fm/start, it's a great community!).  I wanted to share a response that I received.  I loved his response.  At this moment, it's helping to fund his creativity, but he already feels rich because of the connections he's made.  How cool!  So would love to throw it to you out there.  Are you pursuing your passions?  Do you feel rich even if it's not allowed you to be financially independent?  Send a voice message or email matt@script-notes.com!  Your story might get featured in another episode, like Mat's! Finally, if you haven't been to the blog lately, be sure to sign up for our newsletter so you don't miss out!  Recent posts have included what to do if you need to retire earlier than you expected (and maybe not in a good way), how to save money on Halloween and other forthcoming holidays, Jony Ive leaving Apple and the correlation between financial freedom and credit cards.   Thank you as always for listening, and for your support.  If you get a chance, and could leave a review and subscribe, we would greatly appreciate it!

“If you think it’s hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.” – Jack Lemmon I shared this quote today on the blog, and thought it was very appropriate for many aspects of life.    Frequently I like to share quotes from the site BrainyQuote, on Instagram, mainly because I like that so many quotes can have so many different meanings to different people.  Today’s stuck out to me though. Yes, there’s a bit of good ol’ Jack Lemmon humor behind it, but it got me thinking more about the times in life when we’ve “picked up the wrong golf ball,” only to have it lead to even better moments.   What about you?

“If you think it’s hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.” – Jack Lemmon I shared this quote <a href="https://script-notes.com/blog/2019/6/25/picking-up-the-wrong-golf-ball" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">today on the blog</a>, and thought it was very appropriate for many aspects of life.    Frequently I like to share quotes from the site BrainyQuote, <a href="https://instagram.com/script.notes" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">on Instagram</a>, mainly because I like that so many quotes can have so many different meanings to different people.  Today’s stuck out to me though. Yes, there’s a bit of good ol’ Jack Lemmon humor behind it, but it got me thinking more about the times in life when we’ve “picked up the wrong golf ball,” only to have it lead to even better moments.   What about you?

Picking Up The Wrong Golf Ball

Lately I’ve become more intrigued by the concept of financial freedom or financial independence, and the varying forms that that can take on when it comes to personal finance. I’m in the midst of reading Grant Sabatier’s Financial Freedom, and it has really brought back to life the concept of “a penny saved is a penny earned.”  Given Anchor has now made voice messages more accessible to users of other podcast platforms (see link below in show notes), I would love to take this opportunity to put it to use and have you share what financial freedom means to you! Is it getting out of debt? Traveling the world? Pursuing your passion that you haven’t had time for? Have you reached financial independence? If so, let me know, and I’d be more than happy to share your thoughts in a future episode! Or if you’d prefer to email, just send an email to matt@script-notes.com. Have you been to the blog lately?  Articles this week have included a couple of ideas to make some money this summer, including garage sale flipping tips and starting your own business reselling items on Amazon.  On the topic of financial freedom, you'll also see some great financial security tips as well.  Make sure to check those out! Finally, Happy Father's Day to all Dads, Dads to be and Dads yet to be out there.  As a Dad myself, I can honestly say there is no greater joy than time spent with your little one.  That's truly the gift that keeps on giving.  Of course, if you're still in need of some last minute gift ideas, check out this guide from Amazon.   Have a great weekend!--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast.  https://anchor.fm/app--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/script-notes/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/script-notes/support

Financial Freedom Friday

Do you sometimes feel like your smartphone has become the boss of you, versus it actually being a tool for you to use?   I recently happened upon a Medium article, titled “How To Configure Your iPhone To Work for You, Not Against You.”  The post is a bit of a lengthy read, but the author recognized this and decided to break it up into three sections, based on how far you wanted to go.  The post was from late 2018, so it is fairly up to date for the latest iteration of iOS.   As a bit of a segue then, Anchor recently rolled out an update to their Voice Messages feature, available anywhere on web or mobile.  You may have heard about the new feature in an ad read, but basically the feature allows listeners to submit one minute voice messages to podcast creators, by clicking the link below in the notes here.  You used to have to download the app, but not anymore!   Anchor does state, "to ensure everyone has a great experience on Anchor, we do not permit anonymously sent Voice Messages — senders will need to sign up or log into an Anchor account in order to send a message, so you can see who it’s coming from." So with that, what are your thoughts about the state of our smart phone usage?  What 'hacks' do you use to limit your screen time, increase productivity and more?  Leave a voice message and I'll include it on a future episode! Finally, if you follow along on Instagram, you'll see I frequently like to share quotes for the day.  I'd like to start integrating that into the podcast to wrap up episodes, and to encourage engagement.  To get the ball rolling, let's use a quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin, "beware the little expenses.  A small leak will sink a great ship."  What's your take?  What little expenses have you eliminated?   As always, if you'd prefer not to leave a voice message, but want to participate, send a message via the site!      --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast.  https://anchor.fm/app--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/script-notes/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/script-notes/support

There's A Card For That - Introducing The Apple Card

Social media.  Bank accounts.  Subscriptions.  Credit cards.  You name it, you probably have a log in for it.  Here’s food for thought though.  While none of us ever want to ponder what might happen after we leave this mortal coil, there will be those left behind that may have the inevitable task of needing to handle your finances, log ins and more.  The question is, do you have all this documented?  More than likely not.  Enter the My Lifetime Financial Organizer - listen in for more! Also, while most would argue that it would make a lot more sense to pay off your debt first, particularly if it’s a high interest credit card debt, could a case be made to also increase your savings as well? Finally, Starbucks is rolling out changes to their rewards program in participating locations.  Do you think you'll visit the chain more?  Less?  What are some of your other favorite loyalty programs?  Send a comment with your thoughts! It's spring, and with that can come some rainy days inside.  So why not curl up with Audible and get a free day 30 trial and book today?   As mentioned, Anchor has a great listener support feature - and if you make a contribution, you'll get a shout out on the show as well as the chance to be a co host if interested!  If you have a small business with a product or service that saves consumers time and money, we'd love to highlight you!--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast.  https://anchor.fm/app--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/script-notes/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/script-notes/support

Credit Card Debt is Creeping Back Up

Usually there a couple things that go together with the Super Bowl. Food and ads. In recent years, Super Bowl ads have come under fire for being lame and boring, with only a select few making the cut of being memorable. So in today’s episode, I would like to pose the question, have the ads lost their way from a creative standpoint? Or is it because our attention spans have evolved, and thus marketers have tried to do the same?   On Instagram, I shared the quote, “marketing is enthusiasm transferred to the customer.” I am curious to know what you think about this, especially if you are in business or marketing. Or even if you’re a general consumer, what marketing techniques work to get you excited about a product or service? What has been successful for you and your business or product? If you’re listening on the Anchor app, be sure to leave a voice message with your thoughts, or send an email to matt@script-notes.com and would love to feature your take in a future episode!  On the site this week, I shared a post about tips for making sure your car remains in top shape for winter, as well as some additional ways you can pad your Acorns account. As a reminder, if you would like to consider becoming a friend of the show, and receiving a subsequent shout out, please consider our Listener Support feature!   Make sure to follow along on social on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, as deals and savings will be shared there that don't always make it to the site or podcast in time due to being time sensitive!

Michael Sandel explores the philosophical justifications made for national borders. Using a pioneering state-of-the-art studio at the Harvard Business School, Professor Sandel is joined by 60 participants from over 30 countries in a truly global digital space. Is there any moral distinction between a political refugee and an economic migrant? If people have the right to exit a country, why not a right to enter? Do nations have the right to protect the affluence of their citizens? And is there such a thing as a 'national identity'? These are just some of the questions addressed by Professor Sandel in this first edition of The Global Philosopher.Audience producer: Louise ColettaProducer: David EdmondsEditor: Richard Knight(Image taken by Rose Lincoln)

These are just some of the questions addressed by Professor Sandel in this first edition of The Global Philosopher.
