Everyone's Talkin' Money: Money Secrets Nobody Tells You ( Shannah Game, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health & Glassbox Media. )

In this recap episode of Everyone's Talkin' Money, I had the pleasure of chatting with the fabulous Tina Wells. She's an entrepreneur who knows a thing or two about work-life harmony. We dove into her four-phase approach to elevating ourselves: preparation, inspiration, recreation, and transformation. Tina stressed the importance of constantly evaluating our goals and priorities, making time for recreation and breaks, and knowing our numbers beyond just finances. It was a great conversation that inspired and motivated me to find that perfect balance in my life. If you want more, check out Tina's book, "The Elevation Approach," and definitely listen to our previous episode for the full conversation. Trust me; it's worth it!

You might be thinking, what do sex and money have in common? Well, actually, a lot. I’ve often shared how most of us, including probably you, are stuck in a shame cycle around money. You carry with you stories that come from how you were raised around money and bring those to adulthood without really understanding how they impact your financial journey. Well, the same shame cycle happens with your sex life, and it affects your relationship, just like with money. That’s why I invited Kirsten Trammell, host of The Naked Connection podcast, here to educate you about the intersection of sex and money. In this episode, Kirsten shares the powerful connection between your income and your sex life, why conversations around sex and money are so important for intimacy, and practices you can do to increase abundance and wealth. I’ll be honest: this conversation will blow your mind; it did mine and, hopefully, open you up to a new way of thinking about sex and money - two of the most taboo topics.

The Fed, the Fed, The Fed, you’ve heard this a lot if you listen to the news. You’re probably thinking, ok, so why should care what the FED does, and who are they anyway? Well, the Fed will most likely lower the interest rates on Wed, Sep 18th (one day after I’m recording this episode) and one day before you’re hearing this episode. I think it’s time we talk about who the fed is, why they are lowering the interest rate, and probably more important to you…What should you be doing after it’s dropped?

Open, open, open! You may be too young to remember, but a clothing store named Mervyn’s back in the early ’90s had some great commercials with people camped out by their store just waiting for them to open for the big Black Friday sales day.

If you’re in a relationship, love and money can be tricky topics! Talking about money with your partner, let alone figuring out your shared goals and vision for life, often falls to the backburner - the “I’ll do it later” list. That’s why I’m sitting down with the incredible Emily Luk, CEO and co-founder of Plenty, to tackle the topic of money in relationships. Plenty is a wealth platform for modern couples to invest and plan their futures together. In this episode, Emily shares some amazing insights on why communication is key and how focusing on shared goals can bring you closer. Plus, we’ll discuss the importance of accessible financial tools and investment opportunities for everyone because financial confidence shouldn’t be reserved for the wealthy.  But that’s not all—Emily also shares how we can conquer that sneaky little voice in our heads that whispers we never have enough. Especially for us women, this feeling of financial scarcity is all too familiar, and it doesn’t always go away just because we’re earning more. So, how do we ditch that “not enough” mindset? We’ll unpack how societal messages play a big role in shaping our beliefs and, more importantly, how we can flip the script.

Are these 5 investing taboos keeping you stuck? In Today's Shannah Shares, Community Q&A reboot episode, I tackle a question from Laquesha: "Hi, Shannah. Thanks so much for answering my question. I really want to start investing, but I keep getting hung up on all the chatter out there. I can’t figure out if I’m supposed to wait to start investing until I’ve paid off all my debt, or is that not smart to do? Also, it just feels like I need to be an expert at investing to do it well. I know that’s not true, but it just feels so hard to figure out investing. I know so many people are making a killing, and I kinda feel bad that I haven’t started at all, know what I mean. You’ve done so many great investing episodes; I’m curious if there’s an episode from the past that you think I should check out. You’re awesome, and I so appreciate this show for motivating me. My boyfriend can’t believe I care this much about my money, but I just tell him, yes, yes I do, and so should you. Ok, thanks again."

Women, want to learn how to confidently take control of your money? First, we’ve got a lot of things working against us. We start and stop our careers many times for kids and family members, and we live longer than men on average because of that, we typically spend our money taking care of our male partner and tend to avoid talking about money. It makes sense why, as our guest Jenifer Sapel, a financial advisor and owner of Utor Wealth, said at the beginning of this episode - we’re often talked to like infants. But Jen cautions us that context is important. You see, the financial services industry was designed by and for cis white men. So, as women, we’ve got to start talking about money, educating ourselves about money, and aligning our money with our values. Jen brings it all in this conversation, where she shares the 3 phases of your financial life that you need to know about, why we need to break the model of ranking things from best to worst when it comes to money, and why you need to know that wherever you’re starting from is perfectly ok - learning about money is a lifetime practice. And you don’t want to miss our conversation about fun financial facts about women - like that banks could legally require a man’s signature for a woman to apply for a loan all the way until 1988. That’s not that long ago. The opinions voiced in this podcast are for general information only and are not intended to provide specific advice or recommendations for any individual.

Ever feel like a deer caught in headlights when it comes to managing your finances? You are not alone! We've all stood at that crossroads, but today, I'm venturing down the path of financial clarity. We're discussing the crème de la crème of money tools and apps that help you stay on top of your budget, like Monarch and You Need a Budget. I also shake up conventional banking wisdom as I highlight why it's worth considering online banks like Ally Bank and VARO and why avoiding monthly fees can be a game-changer for your financial health. Remember how we all used to believe in the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus? It’s time to debunk another myth: that all banks are created equal. I’ve got news for you: they're not. Drawing on my personal experiences, we examine the features that make an online bank a true ally in your financial journey. We’re not just talking about fee structures or interest rates. We’re talking about aligning your financial values with your bank’s. Plus, for the lovebirds out there, we chat about the unsung benefits of joint accounts. I'm also thrilled to share our favorite books and podcasts, sources of knowledge that fuel my passion for financial literacy. From the timeless wisdom in "The Millionaire Next Door" and "The Wealthy Gardener" to the fresh perspectives from podcasts like "Stacking Benjamins" and "Afford Anything," I'm pointing you toward resources that will empower you to make informed financial decisions.

Day 4 of 12 Days of Holiday episodes: Did you know there is $195 billion of medical debt outstanding? And, in fact, medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy here in the U.S. If you’ve been to the hospital or even a Dr. recently, you know, even with insurance, getting healthcare in the country means you often have to pay out of pocket in a big way. The truth is you shouldn’t be put in financial ruin for walking through the door of a hospital or medical provider. We are human beings who all deserve to have affordable and accessible medical care. End of story. However, as our guest, Allison Sesso, Executive Director of RIP Medical Debt, says, “The system wasn’t set up for your success in the first place.” Allison joins us on a riveting episode uncovering the who, what, when, where, and why behind medical debt and offers some great advice if you are currently in medical debt. Some of her advice includes knowing hospital financial assistance programs, never putting medical debt on a credit card, and making sure you know the loopholes in your insurance plan.

Have you ever thought, “I’m doing all the “right” things with my money, but I’m still not achieving my goals. What’s going on?” This kind of thinking is very common, and I hear it repeatedly with my money-coaching clients. The truth is we all have some emotional baggage with money. Why? Well, because you are in a relationship with money, for better or worse, that causes some gunk to get built up that needs to be released so you can create healthy money habits and beliefs. Dr. Bradley Nelson, one of the world’s foremost experts on natural methods of achieving wellness and author of the best-selling book The Emotion Code, is joining us in this episode to talk about releasing trapped emotions so you can bring in abundance and money success. This topic might seem out there for you, but hang with me. I guarantee you are going to learn something about yourself in this episode. We talk about what causes emotional money baggage, some practical ways to lower money stress, and how you rewire all those negative money beliefs that keep you stuck.  I invite you to check out my 10 Mindful Money Questions to Ask Yourself freebie at https://etmpod.link/10moneyq.

What should you do first? Do you invest, pay off debt, buy a house, open a ROTH, start a side hustle, or buy a business? In this solo episode, I share insights from 10 people on what they think you should do with money if you only do one thing. I went out and talked to 10 experts in all fields - career, money, psychology, food, intimacy, and more and asked them this one simple question - if you only do one thing with your money, do this or don’t do this. I must tell you, this was so much fun for me because it was intriguing to see their responses. I promised them I would keep their names anonymous, but I’ll let you know what type of expert they are for context. Links Thank you for being a part of our community! We couldn't do it without you.

Today's vault Ask Shannah question comes from Laquesha: "Hi Shannah. Thanks so much for answering my question. I really want to start investing but I keep getting hung up on all the chatter out there. I can’t figure out if I’m supposed to wait to start investing until I’ve paid off all my debt, or is that not smart to do? Also, it just feels like I need to be an expert at investing to do it well. I know that’s not true, but man, it just feels so hard to figure out investing. I know so many people are making a killing, and I kinda feel bad that I haven’t started at all, know what I mean. You’ve done so many great investing episodes, I’m curious if there’s an episode from the past that you think I should check out. You’re awesome and I so appreciate this show for motivating me. My boyfriend can’t believe I care this much about my money, but I just tell him, yes, yes I do and so should you. Ok, thanks again."

Your money struggles aren’t really about money—they’re about the fears you hide, the dopamine driving your spending, and the emotional baggage you didn’t ask for but carry anyway. In this episode, I’m joined by Aja Evans, financial therapist and author of Feel-Good Finance, to unravel the messy connection between your emotions and money. Together, we’re calling out fake financial milestones, exposing the real reasons behind your money habits, and breaking free from the self-worth-bank-account trap. If you’re tired of being stuck in the same financial rut, this episode will give you the tools to rewrite your story and take control. What You’ll Learn: Why dopamine might be running your Amazon cart (and how to stop it). How generational money stories keep you stuck—and how to break free. Why your self-worth has nothing to do with your net worth.

In this Ask Shannah episode, I’m covering some of my favorite tips to save money inspired by a question from Brett. This question comes from Brett – "Hi, Shannah, thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I’ve listened to this show since 2016, and even though you’ve changed it up over the years, it’s still one of my favorites. There are a lot of dude money podcasts, but I really like a softer approach and one that feels very non-judgmental. So thank you. I’m in my late 30s and doing pretty well financially, but I always seem to end the month without being able to save a lot of money. Am I doing something wrong? Can you give me any ideas of how much I save and any tips or tricks that you have to save money every month? Thanks a ton.” Thank you for being a part of our community! We couldn't do it without you.

Paying off debt isn't just about following some boring budget advice. If it were that easy, you'd already be debt-free. In this episode, I dive into the real secrets no one talks about when it comes to debt—why it’s not just a financial problem but an emotional one and how you can actually flip the script to make it work in your favor. I’m breaking down the psychological side of debt payoff, revealing how small wins can give you the momentum to crush it, and sharing some of the most insane things people have done to get out of debt. Trust me, it’s time to get real about what works—and what doesn’t. Listener Takeaways: Debt isn’t just financial; it’s emotional. You need to tackle your feelings of shame, guilt, and fear to truly conquer it. The psychological win method builds momentum—focus on small victories, celebrate them, and use that energy to keep going. Debt-free doesn’t mean perfect. Progress over perfection is what matters, so let go of the guilt and keep moving forward. Get creative with how you pay off debt—there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, and sometimes, thinking outside the box leads to big results. Accountability is key. Having someone in your corner can make all the difference. Subscribe & Share: If this episode hit home for you, make sure to subscribe and leave a review.

I have a confession. After I suffered from single-sided hearing loss in 2018 and my Dr. suggested I dive deep into self-care, I was under the false belief that true self-care had to cost a ton of money. Acupuncture, massage, chiropractor, wellness supplements, you name it. When we moved to the mountains, I started walking in nature and realized that self-care could look much different than I thought. I’m tired of the narrative that big companies tell us that self-care must be expensive and that you must spend a lot on it. That’s why I asked Taylor Elyse Morrison, founder of Inner Workout, to demystify what self-care truly is for us all. Taylor turned being bad at self-care—and being firmly convinced of every human’s potential—into a career. Recently named one of Fortune’s 10 Innovators Shaping the Future of Health, Taylor is tired of aspirational 'wellness as usual.' Instead, she makes well-being and personal development more accessible. In this conversation, I get to the bottom of what self-care is and how to practice it. We will uncover some simple, easy, affordable, and transformative ways of self-care to help you with whatever you’re going through today.

In this episode of Ask Shannah, I’m answering a question from Laquita. “Shannah, your podcast has saved my life. I can’t tell you what a mess I was before. I felt all over the place and wasn’t motivated, even though I wanted to change things. I was recently talking to my girlfriends about money and how some people, you know who I’m talking about, I’m sure, say we have to follow rules. It just doesn’t feel right to me. I thought it might be interesting to have an episode about some money myths that we’re told are true but aren’t. Thanks again. I recommend your show to everyone…I’m even a bit aggressive about it."

In this Ask Shannah episode, I’m covering some of my favorite tips to save money inspired by a question from Brett. This question comes from Brett – "Hi, Shannah, thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I’ve listened to this show since 2016, and even though you’ve changed it up over the years, it’s still one of my favorites. There are a lot of dude money podcasts, but I really like a softer approach and one that feels very non-judgmental. So thank you. I’m in my late 30s and doing pretty well financially, but I always seem to end the month without being able to save a lot of money. Am I doing something wrong? Can you give me any ideas of how much I save and any tips or tricks that you have to save money every month? Thanks a ton.” SPONSORS Thanks to EarnIn for sponsoring the show.

How often do you think about money and for bonus points, what are those thoughts? The truth is, we all have financial anxiety. But if you are spinning in anxious money thoughts and unsure how to get out of that loop, this episode is for you. As Lindsay Bryan-Podvin, a biracial financial therapist and wellness expert and author of the book “The Financial Anxiety Solution” says, “Anxiety is a normal and healthy stress response that all humans have - if their nervous system is working appropriately and it might come along with some physical symptoms - sweaty palms, heart racing, etc..” The goal isn’t to never feel anxiety around money because that just isn’t possible. The goal is to have a normal and healthy anxiety response - and one that you can move through. So, how do you get there? In this episode, Lindsay shares the role your childhood, particularly 0-age 8, might play in those anxious thoughts, how money anxiety impacts your daily life, some great exercises to move through those anxious thoughts, and how understanding your money personality will help you play to your money strengths.

You can tell me, what’s your favorite thing to spend money on every week that just makes you feel good? These little treats, we all do them. And guess what, we all feel really good when we make an impulse buy - it’s like a quick dopamine hit, a rush. So that you know, you’re not alone - 55+ million people on TikTok have created a trend called “little treat culture.” It’s a trend where people impulsively treat themselves for a quick boost of happiness. So, with 55+ million people strong, I think this is something we need to talk about. On today’s episode, Ashley Lapato, money and lifestyle expert @theorganizedwallet, helps me break down little treat culture. Ashely says, “Eliminating impulsive spending isn't the solution, but unsubscribing from the narrative that “little treats” mean you're bad with money (ahem, avocado toast). Instead, give yourself permission to budget for impulsive "little treats," knowing that it will bring you joy today and won’t take away from your financial goals tomorrow."

Getting engaged can be a stressful time and a very expensive time. When do you propose? Who proposes to whom? How much money should you really spend on an engagement ring? What if you’ve never really talked about money before? These are just a few questions that our guest Kat McCoy, a hopeless romantic and the owner of Best Kept Jewelry Concierge and Proposal Prep, is here to help you with. I share this story in the episode, but when I got engaged to my husband, Jeff, we mutually bought the engagement ring; I picked it up and then put it on the counter when I got home. Jeff said, “OK, what am I supposed to do with this thing.” I was like, I don’t know, I guess you are supposed to propose. We laugh about it now, but the dynamics of the engagement process, even though exciting, can be stressful and anxiety-filled. In this episode, Kat breaks down the narrative around who proposes to whom, whether your engagement ring is an investment and some important love and money questions to ask your future spouse…before you walk down the aisle.

What does it mean to have a financial plan? Is it something that we all need? Ethan Ho, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ from Oahu, Hawaii, is here to share the ins and outs of having a financial plan. One of my favorite takeaways from Ethan is where he describes your finances to a plant. As you can see, Ethan and I share a very common belief about money. You need to give it some TLC occasionally and create a plan that works for you and the life you want to live. So how do you do that? Well, Ethan’s sharing the details behind a financial plan, how you can create one, and what to do when life throws you some curveballs and the planning doesn’t go as planned.

Let me paint a picture that you might know a little something about. You go to the grocery store for a few things…and before you know it, it’s $100. Then you go to fill up your car with gas, and yep, another $40 there. Then you come home, check your mailbox, and you’ve got a bill from your Dr. for another $100 there. And then you have all the stuff you regularly do with your money - pay your rent or mortgage, and you’ve got some money going towards investing and paying off your credit card bill from your vacation. It’s a lot. Our guest, Allison Baggerly, founder of Inspired Budget, host of the Inspired Budget podcast, and author of the new book Money Made Easy, says finding balance is all about knowing where you’re going and taking some easy action steps to get there. So we’re going to talk about this idea of balance - how do you find it, what does it look like, and how does balance help you achieve your goals? Allison is also going to share some of her favorite money tips to create a budget that isn’t soul-sucking, but life-giving.

Raise your hand. Are you the tightwad or the spendthrift in your relationship? I have to admit, I’m mostly the tightwad but don’t get me wrong, I do love to spend money too. Get this, tightwads are more likely to marry spendthrifts than they are to marry someone like themselves. That’s what motivated our guest, Scott Rick, a behavioral scientist at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business to write his new book TIGHTWADS AND SPENDTHRIFTS: Navigating the Money Minefield in Real Relationships. He was in search of one answer: can seemingly opposing financial personalities coexist peacefully? In this episode, we’re going to talk about it all. How do you make peace with your partner, what is Financial infidelity, why financial translucency aka not sharing all the details of what we spend our money on could save a lot of partnerships, and how to talk to your kids about money so they don’t mimic your tightwadness or spendthriftness. Grab your partner, or just slide this episode their way after you listen. It’s a great way to open up a money conversation.  Links Tightwads and Spendthrifts book Scott's website SPONSORS Thanks to Monarch for sponsoring the show. ​​After trying out Monarch for myself, I understand why it’s the top-rated personal finance app. Listeners of this show will get an extended thirty-day free trial when you go to www.monarchmoney.com/ETM.  Thanks to Uncommon Goods for sponsoring the show.

Let me ask you—what if I told you the gender pay gap isn’t just about your paycheck? It’s time to wake up because you’re leaving way more on the table than you think. Today, I’m sitting down with negotiation expert Kathryn Valentine, CEO of Worthmore Strategies, where she helps organizations advance female talent, and we’re dropping the ultimate list—75 things women can successfully negotiate for at work besides salary. That’s right, 75! Why am I so fired up about this? Because I know first-hand how crucial it is for women to demand what they’re worth—not just in dollars but in opportunities, flexibility, and career power moves. As Kathryn says, there is a tremendous impact on wealth for women when you learn how to negotiate in a female-specific way. Yes, it’s a thing. In this episode, you’ll learn how to tap into your strengths, boost your confidence, and negotiate like a boss to build real wealth. So if you’re ready to stop playing small and start negotiating for the life you deserve, this episode is for you.

What if your thoughts create your results? That’s a powerful question for me. I’ve had a life-long relationship with negative thinking and creating my own money drama. It’s easy for me to think of something positive, but right behind it is a nagging negative thought - what if it doesn’t work out? What if I’m not good enough? What if it all falls apart? Do I really deserve this, etc.? Here’s the kicker, though, as our guest Dielle Charon, certified life coach 7, figure sales expert, and host of the Black, Banked, and Booked out Podcast says - you’ve first got to have the courage even to put that big thought in your brain and help self-coach yourself to success. Now, Dielle is an entrepreneur powerhouse, and we start out the conversation by talking about her strong belief that entrepreneurship is the key to emancipation and why this matters. But whether you’re an entrepreneur, a 9-5 ‘er, or a stay-at-home parent, you’re going to find a lot of life-changing advice in this vault episode, including how to simplify your thoughts around money, the keys to self-coaching yourself, common money mindset blocks, 5 money questions to ask yourself right now, and ways to have both a profitable side hustle and a 9 to 5 job with ease, if that’s your jam.

Living simply is one of the best ways to create wealth (but let's be honest, it's hard to do). Living in only 150 square feet for years, Ryan Mitchell has learned a thing or two about living simply. Ryan's done everything from downsizing to life simplification and designing a life right for you. He built his own tiny house in 2012, learning as he went along, which inspired him to help others in their journey to live small. Today, he still lives in his tiny house full time and off-grid with solar, teaching others how to live. In this reboot episode, we talk about ways to simplify your life, why it matters, how to build wealth by living simply, and how it might be the missing piece to achieving your desired things.

What is a prenup, and do we need one? A question from Brian and Tracey inspired this episode of Ask Shannah. They have friends who recently got a postnuptial agreement and are curious about how they work and if it makes sense for them. As controversial as they might be, if you're thinking about a prenup or a postnup, the first place you should start is getting some education about these hot-button documents. Jennifer Guimond-Quigley is joining us on this episode to demystify what you need to know about prenups and break down the differences between postnups in a fun and easily digestible way (no crazy lawyer speak here, just a totally educational and enjoyable conversation).

"Why am I financially stuck?" This Ask Shannah episode was inspired by a question from Ronni. Ronni is in a place that you might be able to relate to. Ronni makes good money but finds that they are not coming out ahead every month - moving money back and forth from savings and feeling pretty bad about it. In fact, feeling financially stuck is probably the most common complaint that I hear from people. So, if you're in this same spot, this episode is for you. Let's get you financially unstuck to move closer to your money goals.

Did you know that passive income is one of the best ways to build wealth? That’s where our guest, Chris Miles, the Cash Flow Expert and Anti-Financial Advisor, comes in. He has twice used his passive income skills to become financially independent and paid off over $1,000,000 in debt after the last recession without filing for bankruptcy. In this special vault episode, Chris is sharing how to create multiple streams of passive income on virtually any budget, why traditional financial advice sucks, and why true wealth can’t come from a scarcity mindset of saving and only contributing to your retirement accounts contrary to what the Dave Ramsey’s of the world spews to millions of people.

Side hustles can be a game-changer in your money situation. Our guest, Whitney Hansen, host of the Money Nerds podcast, knows something about bringing in more cash flow. She has tried and tested many side hustles to find the most profitable and worthy of your time. In this vault episode, we talk about her most profitable side hustles, and I’m talking ways to bring in $500 - a couple of thousands of dollars a month, and why she thinks starting an Airbnb side hustle might not be wise this year, and how to turn your skills and talents into extra cash quickly.

Two percent of venture capital money goes toward women-owned businesses. Still, in 2023. It’s still somewhat shocking to me. Our guest, Melody McCloskey, co-founder and CEO of StyleSeat, the premier platform for booking beauty and wellness appointments, is one of those lucky 2 %. She started her business in 2011, ironically right next to the two Instagram founders who would ask her thoughts on what Instagram photo filters she liked. As a woman, she’s learned how to grow a business from the ground up and push through the boundaries of being a female tech business owner, what you need to know to pitch yourself for venture capital funds the right way, and why it’s so important to have a good money team in place. She’s sharing all the juicy bits in this episode and the money lessons she’s learned.

Have you ever tried to achieve a money goal and felt like you never made any progress? Or do you walk around feeling completely uneasy about your money situation? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you are not alone. You see, money is about more than numbers. It’s about our very complex relationship with money that was set in motion even before we were born, believe it or not. As our much-beloved guest, Ken Honda, says, “It’s like you have a mold in you that attracts a certain relationship with money until you recognize it and start to make changes, nothing else will change.” Ken is a money and happiness expert and a best-selling self-development author in Japan. His book “Happy Money” is one that will forever be on my bookshelf, and if you haven’t read it, now is the time. In this vault episode, Ken shares how to figure out what is enough for you so you aren’t sucked into believing that more is better, how to redefine your relationship with money so you can bring in some ease, and how to do the work to let go of your money fears for good.

In this episode of Everyone's Talkin' Money, I had the pleasure of chatting with the amazing Tina Wells about achieving work-life harmony and avoiding burnout. Tina shared her game-changing approach called The Elevation Approach in her new book, which consists of four phases: preparation, inspiration, recreation, and transformation. We discussed the importance of saying "I don't know" and being open to learning, as well as the power of curiosity and challenging ourselves to understand things outside of our comfort zones. Tina also dropped some wisdom about decluttering, taking control of our calendars, and finding moments of joy in our busy lives. It was truly an eye-opening conversation that left me feeling inspired and ready to elevate my own work-life balance.

In this solo episode, I cover everything you need about Health Savings Accounts, aka HSAs. This episode was inspired by six listeners who all wanted to see if they should have an HSA. Also, there are a lot of questions about what precisely an HSA is, how one works, and how you can use it. I'm covering it all, including a conversation with Rida Wong from hsastore.com.

In this Ask Shannah, I'm debunking my top 10 money myths that I think you need to know about, inspired by a question from a listener, Loraine. Many money myths or misconceptions are easy to believe because we don't openly talk about them, like the myth that renting is throwing away money. I'm debunking a lot of juicy myths in this episode.

In recent weeks, this term, loud budgeting has made its way into the mainstream conversation. So, which camp are you in - shouting loudly about your money goals, or would you rather keep them to yourself? I think we need to talk about it. It’s Friday, and typically, I answer an Ask Shannah question, but this week, something came to my attention that I thought we should talk about instead. So many of you have sent in questions about budgeting, how to do it, how to make it work, and also some questions about how to manage the fears around budgeting - what if you go over budget and someone knows about it or judges you or shames you for how you spend your money. I’m glad you feel safe enough to share those thoughts with me. Money is emotional, and in everyday society, it doesn’t feel safe to talk about those emotions - maybe you don’t even correlate those feelings you have with the underlying cause - money. So that brings us to this idea of loud budgeting. It’s certainly a catchy phrase, but what does it mean, and will it work for you?
