BROADCAST: Dollars & Sense, 06/12/2022
Episode Summary: During this episode of Dollars & Sense, Marc discusses who the REAL culprits are to blame for this new economic paradigm shift in America. You may be surprised by his thoughts.
SEGMENT 1: (1:54) For experienced investors, the fact that the market is down should not be shocking. However, new investors have not experienced the ups AND DOWNS of the market yet. It is important to remember investing is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Neither life nor the markets move in only one direction.
SEGMENT 2: (16:12) Perhaps the reason we are all a little more down lately is because we place blame and focus on what we cannot control. We have created an environment for younger generations that is our own doing. For example, have you taught your kids how to “adult”? Until we change, we create the problem. Pointing the blame to someone else needs to be tossed out the window.
SEGMENT 3: (31:03) What is the most important piece of your financial puzzle? Is it the corner? The middle? The edges? ...it is actually the cover of the box. How can you put your life together when you do not have a big picture of that should look like?
SEGMENT 4: (43:49) We need to do a better job at preparing for our financial future. We cannot continue to step in for our children who overspend. What is it that YOU want to do in retirement? Make the most out of your life and start celebrating you!

SEGMENT 1: (00:49) Investing should be a long term commitment.
SEGMENT 2: (15:30) Where did the free bread go? The stock market going up and down is just one of the many challenges we will face in life. Another is the current car inventory situation. However, there are ways to work around this.

SEGMENT 4: (43:50) Who benefits the most from working with a financial professional?

Episode Summary: Marc is joined by his wife Laura for a special Mother’s Day broadcast. During this segment, Marc and Laura discuss the best piece of financial advice listeners have received from their mothers, aunts, and grandmas. Marc and Laura also share advice they have received from their own moms.
SEGMENT 1: (00:55) Shop smart and do your research when shopping! When you can, buy the best quality items. Better quality items last longer and will not need to be replaced as often.
SEGMENT 2: (14:48) If you are not happy in your current job, determine why that is. Money may not always be the root of the problem at a job.
SEGMENT 3: (30:16) Spend some of your money on you, you deserve it.
SEGMENT 4: (42:20) Teach your kids how to be independent and financially responsible. Save more than you spend and if you cannot afford it, do not buy it.
