194. Do You Have Personal Finance Herd Mentality? Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to episode #194 of the Debt Free Dad Podcast. So, what exactly is herd mentality? Well, to put it simply, it's the phenomenon where people tend to follow the crowd or conform to the behavior and opinions of the majority, often without critically evaluating their choices. Perhaps it's that instinct to buy that car or product just because "everyone else is doing it." Or do you find yourself saying things like "There is no way to get a college education without student loans" or "Used cars are a bad idea due to repairs" or "credit cards are for emergencies, you'll always have one!" In this episode, we'll examine real-world examples of herd behaviors when it comes to your personal finances, both positive and negative and offer suggestions on how you can overcome this in your life.

What You'll Learn

Are you tired of making financial decisions based on what everyone else is doing? Learn to break free from the cycle of blindly following the crowd.
Explore the episode where we challenge conventional wisdom and question common financial norms.
Dive into real-world examples of both positive and negative herd behavior in personal finance. Hear stories of individuals who successfully resisted the temptation to conform and those who faced challenges due to following the crowd.

191. Why People Don't Save For Emergencies & How to Start Oct 10, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to episode #191 of the Debt Free Dad Podcast. A recent survey conducted by SecureSave from August of 2023 shows that 63% of workers are unable to pay a $500 emergency expense with cash. The people surveyed said they would turn to friends, family, credit cards or their employer for help. Even 64% of those making $100,000 indicate they are dealing with financial stress. An article from CNBC that featured this survey, indicates that inflation and the fact that covid money is running out may be to blame for these numbers, but is that really the problem? We are going to get into all of this on today's show.

What You'll Learn

Many people don't save for emergencies because they fail to create a financial
plan that includes an emergency fund. Without a clear plan, it's easy to overlook
the importance of saving for unexpected expenses.
Many prioritize short-term spending and immediate gratification over long-term financial security. Discover some strategies to prevent this to start building your ER fund!
For some, income, inflation, and debt levels could be to blame. Listen to get
motivated to tackle your debt and financial stress once and for all.
