This is another shining example of why the Erika Taught Me Podcast is my favorite finance podcast. I discovered Dr. Klontz's writings several years ago, but his ideas really came to life through Erika's questions. Can't give enough praise... thanks for showering us with valuable knowledge!😌
Wow, my first episode ever and I feel like I am on a whole new journey. Thank you, Erika and Dr.Brad
The current market/economy is unnecessarily tougher for boomers/senior citizens, I’m used to just buying and holding assets which doesn’t seem applicable to the current rollercoaster market plus inflation is catching up with my portfolio. I’m really worried about survival after retirement.
Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money. I know someone who made over $350k in this recession influenced market, but to the best of my knowledge, it was through a financial advisor.
Sincerely it's best to seek an advisor right now, unless you're canny yourself. As a business owner in both the service industry and eBay reseller of all product categories, I can tell you we’re in a deep recession and everyone is running out of money
That's fascinating. How can I contact your Asset-coach as my portfolio is dwindling?
My Financial adviser is Susan Kay Mack she’s highly qualified and experienced in the financial market. She has extensive knowledge of portfolio diversity and is considered an expert in the field. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
I just checked her out and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
This really hit home for me, growing in Asia seeing my parents constantly fought about money. It was painful and on the top of that people around us cared so much about financial status. Spending the $$$, we did not have including my family. All of these make me be a frugal person. I am very careful about money due to my upbringing, I started saving at a very young age. Screwed up many times, live and learn, older and wiser (I hope). Later I moved to US and you are right many Americans label $$$as evil. For me, I want to make more so I can take care of my mind, my fam and give back to communities more. Such a wonderful talk, Erika. Again congratulations on your Times Square Billboard! You are amazing.
This interview was the best thing ever regarding money for me. I will be able to forgive myself being poor and set up a visual plan on how & why I am investing. Thank you Erika for having this guest🙏
The interview is insightful! Looking forward to more videos like this. Thank you!
Thank you for this episode!
Your guests are always so amazing!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you SO MUCH for bringing these expert perspectives to us ❤
Wow, this is one of the most touching interviews I've listened to around money. So much empathy. I will adapt this way of talking and thinking on the subject.
Love the content discussed Erika. Protect the ‘good’ psychology of money by practicing and tracking it intentionally. Thank you!
Just found your channel. Thank you for this
One of the best pod casts I've listened to...... we need to start talking more about psychology of money😊
Thank you for always having such inspiring insight!😊
Dr. Brad and Erika!! The two GOATs!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you for this conversation!
Man erika really asking the important questions here, instant subscribe!!!
I honestly don't feel like I spend to impress others. I plan big purchases based on problems I want to solve in my life. I appreciate this perspective but I feel like I never hear about planning for luxury purchases because that service really will solve a problem for you, but it happens to be a status item. For example, saving for an EV because I'm tired of worrying about gas prices and oil changes.
I guess I fall into Ramit Seth's camp of being frugal in a lot of places to spend on what you really value instead of being frugal for no other reason but to get a number to go higher and higher until you die...
edit: Nvm, he touched on that when he talked about saving according to a vision 😊
❤❤Very informative and love the glimpse into the psychology of money, in how to look at your beginnings to understand where you are at, to understand where you want to be, and how to get there.
Hey EK luv the content
This was an amazing show. I’m going to set a visual goal so I can stick to my savings. Great content

Never tell people you have enough money especially when there are people who are trying to sue you. Know you have money and live your life as comfortably as possible and keep some things to yourself, there is no shame in that. Love your podcast.

I can totally relate to you Erika!And I’ve worked to get out of scarcity mindset around money and realize I’ve got enough! I’m in abundance!🙌🏻🙌🏻🤗 It’s a journey for sure!❤
Great podcast
I really like both the host and the guest. They are real to me as I didn't grow up from rich family. I watched my family from being super poor to wealthy and now middle. They are happy with their condition. I appreciate the time and knowledge shared to others. Everything makes sense to me.
I've been diligently working, saving and contributing towards financial freedom and early retirement, but the economy so far since the pandemic has eaten away most of my portfolio, what I want to know is this: Do I keep contributing to my portfolio in these unstable markets or do I look into alternative sectors.
Just try to diversify your portfolio to other market sectors, that way your investment is balanced and you don't get to make so many losses.
Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.
I've been looking to switch to an advisor for a while now. Any help pointing me to who your advisor is?
In fact, I'm not sure whether I'm permitted to say this, but I'd suggest searching for “Stacie Lynn Winson” as she gained a lot of attention in 2017. She is both my coach and the manager of my portfolio .
Erika has an excellent episode on investing please watch before you seek out #investmentadvisors. Good luck to you
great interview!
This really explains my financial journey living with a disability.
This is the best financial wellness conversation I’ve ever listened to!
Such a great interview thank you 🙏
Coming from a working class background I observed just how hard my family worked to keep us comfortable. I see how easy people spend money on things that do absolutely nothing for them long term. They miscalculate value but do absolutely nothing with regards to making their money work for them. If I really want something I just buy it but typically there aren't many material things that interest me. It's all about experiences. The money I make mostly gets invested or spent on experiences and so far that has worked well for me.
This was fantastic. Really resonated with a lot of Brad's points. Great podcast!
Thank you really interestingg
This was really thought provoking and interesting. I always learn something with these interviews so thank you!
I can’t wait to watch this, as an Economist’s daughter who has a Psych degree..this is right up my alley. I’m only a few minutes in and already know this is gonna be a great video. Thank you!
What a great interview! Wow. And yes, we own these issues and we can control them. I’m inspired.
Excellent video Team. Most people don't value money at all and have a sense of entitlement at the expense of others. I was heavily influenced by my Grandpa who survived the great depression. He would often say, "BOY! Don't you throw that food away, back during the great depression, we didn't throw nothing away!"
Will, wow, can I relate to your comment, my parents also live during the depression, so we were taught to save everything from old worn-out blankets to old cloths and never toss out food when I got older, I had to re-think what was worth listening too from my parents' experiences to adjust for myself after turning adult.
Thank you for sharing.
@@darleneatkinson3906 thank you for sharing too. They'd use old clothing as stuffers for pillows and blankets.
Usually, in order to get rid of bad (financial) habits one should change his/her environment. I just wonder if it's not a bad idea to recommend Americans spend some time in a country where ppl don't tend to overspend and where there is not so much pressure to show off with status symbols. I watch videos of Erika with a lot of interest, but I realize that many financial problems Americans have are hardly there in other countries.
I’m in France now seeing how a caring nation takes care of everyone with healthcare and housing
I've been to countries where Americans would consider it "third world" and rich people flex there too 😂 Although the people in their middle class (not poor, but doing fine) seem more content and more focused on spending time with their family, friends, and on their hobbies than what they do for a living.
These places also tend to have lower healthcare costs from the pharmacy to the doctor's office than the US. I'm starting to see a trend...
This is one of the most important and touching conversations about money. Thank you for the work Erika.
Erika this was a great podcast.
Thanks Erika.
I am surprised that Dr. Brad has only 12.4K subscribers.
Love this
Hi Erika and Dr. Brad, thanks for this video, I am 65 years of age and I had to ask myself what am I going to believe
about my life what can I change and how can I overcome incorrect messages I have heard to better my world?
And I did I grew up on farm my parents use to save everything, and I wore hand me down cloths being almost at the end of 12 siblings. In my 40's I denounced old believes and took on new one the one that help me the most was
I am not poor no more my finances when from barely living on $1,700.00 a month to having left over money at the end of the month just from one change of thinking. It was so surprising to me. So, I seen firsthand our internal believes have a lot to do with our wealth or lack of wealth that was super surprising yet pretty amazing at the same time. Again, thank you both for sharing this video I hope it helps many people out.
This episode is 10/10
Love this.
I love this interview made me think about my mindset of money a lot differently. Thank you
These vids are gold
This was Great 👍 Thanks 😊💐
That’s one of the best episodes in this channel so far 👏
Wonderful content...thanks for sharing!
9:09 Never put a dollar in the bank... my hero.
Good interview
Wow! I have learned about my own money habits and what need to change so far. Thank you for all the amazingly useful information.
Fun conversation. tHanks for posting it. (I'm a simple person...I find an old ratchet at a yard sale and I'm happy for the whole week).
One of the best interviews that I have ever heard about money and wealth. Thank you great host Erika and Dr. Brad for inspiring and informative interview
Nice interview. About the need to belong and keep up with others.... this highlights another advantage of living well below your means. When you live far below your means, most of your neighbors won't be buying those fancy cars or clothes, so you are free from the pressure to keep up. I live well below my means and when I see a neighbor with an expensive luxury car, besides the car looking out of place for the neighborhood, I just see the car as a douchebag car with an insecure owner.
I have an awful relationship with money. I make six figures now, but I don't even want to spend money on a vacation now. I'm debt free, 35 and single and just looked at all the number's for flights, rental, nights stay and thought to myself I should just stay home and find a better avenue for that money. I want to go but I also don't want to spend. Money trauma, arguments between my parents and growing up. My dad was all about saving and investing and my mom wanted to spend everything. I remember the arguments, I felt so guilty about them spending that when they asked me where I wanted to go for my birthday I said Lone Star Steak House because I knew everyone liked it...I got a hotdog because I knew it was the cheapest menu item and I was only 9.
They made me get a steak 😆
This is the best money video I’ve watched, and I watch a lot of videos. I sent it to my 18 boy to watch. I’m proud of him and how he saves his money. I’ve been sending him videos about smart money habits for a couple years now. It’s definitely changed his view on money
Keeping Secrets by Suzanne Summers came out in 1988. I grew up in financial scarcity due to an alcoholic father. She talks about growing up in alcoholic family. She said something that has really stuck with me. She said she grew up in chaos and so as a young adult on Three’s Company she was creating her own chaos. That is when I realized I created my own chaos by financial stress and crisis. I still struggle with it to this day, but I am aware of it and actively try to curb the urge to create chaos in my life.
That's insightful. ❤. Same here, hard to push down the urge to treat everything like it's on fire at all times. Exhausting. Therapy and cannabis helped me.
they revised Learned helplessness - now it says that "there is no hope" state is default for people. Hence it should be named Learned Active Behaviour, you learn to be active when you encounter a problem.
cool talk
I was in Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and even tho I was 10 it made me realize you can lose everything in a blink of an eye. I make good money but I hate spending. I’m trying to get over the scarcity mindset.
Hi you have the Accumulator money archetype. You can work on it, look into it.
Sorry katrina happened to you all
I’m so sorry you went through that.
Great insight
I listen/Watch so many “how to save money” videos… and this is by far thee best one I’ve seen that gives actually steps in how to change one’s self. Actually now that I think of it, it is tied with Rabbi Daniel Lapin’s videos where he also talks about money and how to take care of it. His videos have blown my mind. ❤ Thank you Erika for sharing this with us. Big fan over here.
Very good podcasts
Excellent interview! Thank you both 😊
These podcasts are actually really valuable and easy to listen to! Thanks Erika!
❤your videos and the way you teach others!
Another thought provoking interview. Excellent job. Thank you.
mindset matters
Great guest!
High prices for everything have severely affected my plan. I'm concerned if people who went through the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am having now. The stock market is worrying me as my income has decreased, and I fear I won't have enough savings for retirement since I can't contribute as much as before.
It's recommended to save at least 20% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 20% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of investing in the stock market and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.
Considering the increased complexity since the 2008 crash and COVID, I suggest diversifying your financial portfolio. I hired an advisor and successfully grew my portfolio by over $150K during this turbulent market using defensive strategies that protect and profit from market fluctuations.
@@StacyHershberger Could you kindly share the contact details of your investment advisor? I really need one urgently.
my financial advisor goes by the name Stacey lee decker, she's highly skilled and experienced in the financial market. more of her information can be found online
thank you for the useful info, after background research then contact, i can tell she is highly skilled
WOW! Overly concerned about spending 15 dollars! You can spend that much for lunch sometimes. CLEARLY that's OVER-DOING IT!
Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.
investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.
@@ritalorrigan This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite difficult to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro investor?
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $486k in the last six month. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently….
@@ritalorrigan wow ,that’s stirring! Do you mind connecting me to your advisor please. I desperately need one to diversified my portfolio
@@ritalorrigan Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an e-mail shortly.
Great episode.
Thank you for introducing me to Dr. Brad.
Great interview! My take away from this is i don't know how to invest or where to start to invest my money.
Such a great interview. Thanks for this!
Good show
