As the July No Spend Challenge comes to a close, how did you do? How many points did you accumulate? How much money did you save? Were there any other goals you accomplished?
Thank you to Tiffanie Kellog, who asked on the Facebook page: "I was pondering a question for the podcast based on the no-spend challenge... what about a discussion on how to classify a NEED versus a WANT when it comes to spending $$$?"
Today's episode is a discussion of, when it comes to finances and spending habits, what is a need versus a want? How do you identify a need v. want and how do you differentiate the two? Thanks Tiffanie for a great question!

There's been a bit of news lately on President Biden's plan to cancel student loan debt, especially after the United States Supreme Court ruled that the President has no authority to cancel the debt without Congressional action.
What are your thoughts? Are you in favor of cancelling debt? Against it?
Recently, the New York Times came under fire for suggesting that "death" is a way to cancel student debt. Unfortunately, they are correct. Note that neither the article, nor Shawn & George are suggesting that people hurt themselves in any way to avoid paying back student loan. From a legal and contractual perspective, if a student loan borrower (any borrower really) passes and there is no co-signor on the debt, then the debt is eliminated - subject to the borrower's estate having no money.
What are some of the other ways the New York Times suggests cancelling student loan debt:
Interstingly, the LA Times followed up that article by suggesting that student loan borrowers could move back in with mom & dad, or skip meals to save money ...
One other way to tackle student loan debt is to save money for college, and also explore scholarships. You can listen to an old Crushing Debt Podcast episode about that if you follow this link: https://yesnerlawpodcast.libsyn.com/episode-77-the-scholarship-system
The two articles Shawn & George discuss can be found with the following links:
Remember, we're now two full weeks into the Crushing Debt No Spend Challenge. How are you doing? How many points have you earned? What have you learned about yourself, and about your spending habits?

What is the difference between a "want" and a "need"?
Can you go one day without spending money? How about one week? One Month? One Year?
Shawn & George talk every week about tips and tricks and strategies to help you save money, reduce debt, and become debt free. Now, they're "putting their money where their mouth is" and taking action to help you do just that.
In this episode, Shawn & George talk about their No Spend Challenge for July !!
A No Spend Challenge is a freeze on spending money on things that are unnecessary or no spending on things that are wants versus necessities. It can last for any length of time, so we have chosen the entire month of July - starting on July 6 (to get beyond the 4th of July Holiday). The goal of a No Spend Challenge can be whatever you want - saving money, resetting habits, paying off debt, saving money to invest, etc.
Some of the expenses you are allowed:
Some of the expenses you are not allowed:
To help track our progress, we've created a Facebook Group called "Crushing Debt Spending Challenge." To participate, you must join that group, which you can do here: Crushing Debt Spending Challenge | Facebook
Every dollar you save becomes one point. At the end of the challenge, we'll add up all the points, and Shawn & George have each put up a $25 gift card to the winner - plus you will have hopefully accomplished whatever goal you set for yourself.
One more important rule for this challenge - every dollar you save must be set aside, either in a separate bank account, or in a physical envelope. For example, if you go to the grocery store and forgo buying a bag of chips for $5, you MUST set aside $5 in a separate bank account or in an envelope. At the end of July, we'll count all the money saved, and the winner(s) will have saved up the most money. Could someone go out and say "I'm not going to spend $30,000 to buy that new care in July."? Yes, but then to qualify for the game you would have to set aside $30,000 in a separate savings account !!
There are other ways to get points too:
Join the Facebook Group, save money, have fun and talk some trash !! If you know someone who would benefit from a No Spend Challenge, please share this episode and ask them to join the Facebook Group!

What age groups tend to owe the most debt? Boomers? Millenials? Gen X?
Would it surprise you to know that credit card debt, on average, has returned to or exceeds pre-pandemic levels?
Why has it increased, and what can you do about it? How do you break the credit card cycle?
In this week's episode, Shawn and George talk about the reason that credit card debt has increased and some tactics for reducing or crushing your credit card debt if it has risen to a level that you are struggling (or even if you just want to pay it off).

How does your fitness impact your finances?
What is the connection between the two?
I'm reminded of the meme: "I'm into Fitness. Fitness this pizza into my mouth!"
People who are more healthy, typically have larger incomes and savings. Conversely financial stress can negatively impact your health. People who are more fit are more likely to get hired, have lower health care costs, more energy at work, and more mental clarity in general.
This week's guest on the podcast is a long-time friend and referral partner of both Shawn & George, Moh Koutouby. Moh is a personal trainer with over 20 years experience in fitness and health. Moh started his journey by overcoming being an overweight kid. He loves to help motivated clients to maximize their training and ancestral nutrition so they can be the best in their business and family life.

Are you able to leave the office for a week on vacation and leave your work behind?
What do you need to do prior to leaving, to make sure that your vacation is a vacation, and not just working remote from some other place?

What is lifestyle creep?
Do you feel the need to keep up with the Joneses? Do your expenses increase as your income increases?
Years ago, Shawn's father taught him that your expenses do not have to grow proportionately to your income. In other words, just because you make more money doesn't mean you have to spend less money.
Unfortunately, it seems like some people spend more as they make more. Their lifestyle creeps to the more expensive as they get more income.
More disturbing, some people are using their credit cards as de facto savings accounts. See the article here: Millennials may be using credit cards as a 'de facto emergency fund' (cnbc.com)
In today's episode, George and Shawn talk about lifestyle creep, plus the negatives (and positives) of using credit cards in lieu of savings accounts. For example, it might be necessary for a high-ticket emergency.
What do you think? Let us know if you've experienced lifestyle creep or what you did to avoid it.

Should you lease or buy?
In this week's episode, Shawn and George discuss that age-old question, is it better to lease or buy a car? George bought his cars. Shawn bought one (his wife's) and leases another (his). But which one is the better choice for you?
Some of the Pros of leasing a car: lower monthly payments, drive a better car for less money, get a new car every three years or so, lower maintenance costs because the car is newer or under warranty, and loyalty programs when you get a new car from the same dealership / finance company.
Some of the Cons of leasing a car: limited in mileage you can drive, no equity is built in a car, wear and tear charges or damages to be paid at the end of the lease term, and it may be difficult to return the car if your needs change during the term of the lease.
Advantages to buying a car: it's your car (you can customize or alter it however you want), no mileage limits, eventually the car is paid off and you no longer have to make payments, and you build equity in the car to use towards a down-payment on the next car.
Disadvantages of buying a car: higher monthly payments than leasing, the car depreciates in value quickly, downpayments (or trade-in) to buy a new or used car, you have to budget for annual repair or maintenance costs as the car ages, and higher insurance costs as the car ages.

How do you talk to your kids about money?
What books about money have influenced you that you want to share with your kids?
This week's guest, Clifton D. Corbin, MBA, PMP, was a business consultant with over two dozen decades of experience when he left the office to become a full time stay-at-home dad. During this time, he authored his first book, Your Kids, Their Money: A Parent's Guide to Raising Financially Literate Children, which focuses on providing parents with the skills and tools to teach financial literacy to ther children.
While reading The Richest Man in Babylon with his son (a timeless money classic) he found that the book failed to translate to his son. Clifton and his son co-edited a rewrite of the book titled The Richest Person in Babylon.
Shawn and George talk to Clifton about these issues, as well as ADHD and Money, paying allowances, and other questions around how to talk to your kids about money.

What are your best ideas for networking an event?
Do you go to events looking to buy or sell?
Do you give your card to everyone there - throwing them out like they were ninja throwing stars?
Do you have a goal, or do you go to networking events just to socialize?
The Largest Networking Event in Tampa Bay is Friday, February 17, 2023 and Yesner Law is a sponsor. ActionCOACH Tampa Bay is the host company for the event and our friends there provided us with 10 tips (and 2 bonus tips) to network an event.
