#9 - My Money Rant

I might be listening to a little too much Gary Vaynerchuk lately, because I started ranting (speaking passionately) about why I think we should all talk about money and finances. It’s fun to talk about your interests or the things in which you’re an expert, but it’s usually not fun to talk about finances. Money doesn’t buy you happiness, but it certainly buys you choices. You should be planning for your future. Don’t depend on Social Security - it may not be there when you’re old enough to use it, and when you are, it may buy you next to nothing. You also want to be stable in relationships! When you get older, if you end up in a partnership with kids and a house, you’ll want to have made better choices. In your 20’s, put $2,000 a year into a Roth IRA account. Because of compound interest, you’ll have much more money in your account when you reach retirement if you start when you’re 25 than if you start when you’re 35. Relationships: There are people who were already married or financed by their spouse, so they didn’t need a survival job. However, people do get divorced and relationships end… then what would you do? Also - you shouldn’t have to stay in an unhealthy relationship for this support. Get out! Support yourself. It may not be cool, but pack your lunch. Your future self with thank you. Thanks for listening to this episode. Let me know what you think, what topics you're interested in learning more about & have a great day!! All the best, Michelle

#15 - Finances for Actors - Part 7 (Emergency Fund), Part 8 (Retirement) & Part 9 (Debt)
Emergency Fund:
An emergency fund is money that you put into an account in case of a rainy day.
Actors – this is not money you use from one job to the next – it’s money kept for true emergencies.
I like setting up an emergency fund in a money market account (that’s liquid – aka can sell at any time) that doesn’t show up on my online banking, so it’s out of sight and I’m less tempted to spend it.
Experts recommend saving 6-12 months of expenses in your Emergency Fund.

Retirement:
“Retirement?! Why do I need to be thinking about retirement in my 20’s? I’m just barely getting by now!”

#14 - Finances for Actors - Part 5 (Monthly Budget) & Part 6 (Compound Interest)
The dreaded “B” word.
Budget:
For some reason I shrivel up at the word budget.
I associate it with restriction, which I associate with losing weight – it’s just not a pleasant thing for me.
But, we do need to know where we are, before we achieve where we’re going.
So – here are my tips on discovering how much goes in and out each month (yes, even on an inconsistent actors’ salary).
If you have more money going out than in each month there are only two solutions
- Spend Less, or
- Make More
Which one works best for you?

Since they don't teach the basics of a financial education in school, instead of being frustrated & just complaining, I made some YouTube videos. Well, I wanted to bring that info to the podcast. So click Here if you want to check out the Playlist on YouTube.
