George has been a co-host of the show for more than two years, but what the heck does he do?

We know what a swing coach would do in golf, what a pitching coach would do in baseball, what a QB coach would do in football, even what a business coach would do for a business owner, but what does a financial coach do?

On this week's episode Shawn & George discuss Financial Coaching. What it is and what financial coaches do for their clients, which is basically:

  • Establishing good habits around money, or helping to identify bad money habits;
  • Accountability;
  • Financial literacy;
  • Identifying your "why" around money; and
  • Motivating you.

When you step back and look, this is what any coach would do on any subject, really.  We also talk about how to choose a financial coach, and what things you should look for in a financial coach.

What is your favorite roller coaster? Are you a fan of wooden coasters? Thrill-ride coasters? Coasters that go upside down? Coasters contained totally inside?

What is your favorite theme park?

Would you take out a loan to fund your vacation?

Would you fund your vacation with credit card debt?

What are some money-saving techniques that you can implement to reduce the cost or expense of your vacation?

Shawn & his family just got back from a trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. One of our listeners (thanks Ford Kyes!) sent us an article titled "Disney World Beckons These Families. So Does Debt" from the Tampa Bay Times: https://www.tampabay.com/news/business/2024/07/31/disney-world-beckons-these-families-so-does-debt/

In this week's episode, Shawn & George talk about how to vacation on a budget. And while Disney is notorious for being expensive, this is not a conversation limited to Disney. It applies to all the theme parks equally - Disney, Universal Studios, Legoland, Six Flags, Great Wolf Lodge, etc. For example:

  • Is it worth it to buy the pass to skip the line?
  • Do you stay in the park hotel or offsite?
  • Do you have to book airfare or can you drive to the theme park?
  • Are there any resident or other types of discounts?
  • Do you bring food and snacks versus buying them in the park?

What would you do if Money were no issue?

What stage of life are you in currently, and how does that change your plan for your Money, how does that change your goals around Money, and how does that change how you think about Money?

Are you ready to transform your financial future?

After a one-week hiatus (sorry - summer vacations got in the way of recording), Shawn & George are back to talk to Sara LaChance, owner, founder and financial coach at Flourish Coaching. Sara wants to help people and prevent the mistakes, arguments, and stress that accompany money. Money is a powerful tool that can be used for so much good. Sara hopes to help people achieve their money goals and make real change in the world.

Sara works with and has programs for Independent Adults, Newly Engaged Couples, Married Couples and Business Owners, but she focuses on Divorced Women and Single Moms.
