Perhaps you've noticed that the topic of refugees has been in the news. The recent news sparked this question in the Radical Personal Finance Facebook group. I think it's a fantastic question! Today I answer this question in 3 parts:

I have a special treat for you today. If you had the chance to sit down with the former President and CEO of Lehman Brothers and talk about his career and money, would you take that chance? Well, I did. And today I share it with you! I sat down with my friend Andy Sage here at his home in Palm Beach with the microphones fired up for a discussion about his career in the business world, retirement, banking, and much more. Enjoy!

My guests today are Joel and Alexis. I met them while hanging out at Camp Mustache SE in Gainesville and was intrigued by their story! They went from being a fairly typical young couple with a small savings rate to being radical Mustachians, on track to retire in the next few years! Enjoy learning how they worked through the problems and challenges to make this change! Joshua

Car leasing is the most expensive way to operate a vehicle. Car leasing is the cheapest way to operate a new vehicle. Both of those statements are true. In today's show I explain why! And I explain how to get out of a lease if you have one. Joshua Time stamps (courtesy of a listener):

My guest today is a man named Bill. We met at Camp Mustache SE this past weekend. As soon as I heard a little bit of Bill's story, I knew I needed to get him on the show for you! Bill is a really neat guy. He enjoyed a very fun and adventurous career wherein he primarily worked for himself. And then he retired early. He's a man filled with wisdom. You'll really enjoy this interview. Joshua

Today I have a simple--but profoundly important--concept for you to consider and embrace: your personal safety. There are small safety decisions that you can make that have a huge potential impact for you, both monetary impact and personal impact. Enjoy! Joshua

I always keep my eyes out for interesting and unusual lifestyle stories. Last week when I was researching cheap coffin plans, I came across the $5 DIY coffin plans at PiedmontPineCoffins.com. Upon further reading I became aware that Don and his family live entirely off-grid and that he creates his coffins entirely by hand! Sounded like a fun story so I invited him on! Enjoy, Joshua

This past weekend I had the privilege of addressing the very fun crowd of hardcore Mustachians gathered in Gainesville, FL for Camp Mustache SE 2017. (Mustachian = acolyte of the Mr. Money Mustache blog and personal lifestyle and financial philosophy.) I was invited to give a presentation and I chose for my topic, "Why Wait Until You're F.I. to Live Like You're F.I.?" This addresses a theme I often see among the hardcore early retirement crowd. The idea is this: "My life stinks right now but it'll all be great after F.I." Enjoy! Joshua

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has been steadily flirting with an all-time record of 20,000 points. I certainly expect it to cross that threshold any day. But, so what? Today I tackle these three questions:

Ain't it strange how so many of the universal human experiences cost so much? Childbirth. Marriage. Getting Old. Death. All of them can cost a bunch of money. But does it have to be that way? Are there alternatives? Yes. Guess what: kicking the bucket doesn't necessarily have to break the bank! There are ways to do it cheaper. If you want to. Today I tackle funeral expenses. You might not be able to benefit from the savings, but at least your family can have a little more cash left over to celebrate your life! Enjoy, Joshua

What's the point of budgeting? Isn't it supposedly supposed to help you get richer? Well, one way to make budgeting matter is if your budget categories actually help you to understand what's happening with your money. Today, I walk you through some of my personal budget categories and explain how they impact my spending decisions. I don't think you'll find these budget categories in any pre-existing software. But I do think they'll be really useful to you! Joshua

I think RVs are awesome. In fact, my family just got back from a very fun 2-week RV trip last week! But, RVs can also be a major money drain. Much like boats, it's easy to overestimate the pleasure you will get from it and underestimate the hassle. In today's show, I share with you some of my ideas and thoughts on RVs:
Enjoy the show! Joshua
