2016-12-11 Finding Happiness With Jonathan Clements & Ed Fulbright On Mastering Your Money Radio

Jonathan Clements

Jonathan Clements- Finding Happiness: 

Psychologists, in fact, tell us that we really don’t know what makes us happy.  We fantasize about retiring to a tropical island, but those who actually do so, soon find themselves hot, bored and missing their friends and family.  We lust after a Beemer and a 6,000 square foot home, only to find that they quickly lose their luster. The maintenance required for these items of  luxury command way too much time and money.  Worst of all, the cost of all this necessitates wasting our lives at jobs we despise and so prevents us from doing the things we love.  Always remember that life is too short to not live it being happy with your money and your life being terrible things to waste.

Joining us for our discussion on Finding Happiness is Jonathan Clements  who is on the phone from Greater NY City office. Jonathan spent almost 20 years at The Wall Street Journal, where he was the newspaper's personal-finance columnist. Between October 1994 and April 2008, he wrote 1,009 columns for the Journal and for The Wall Street Journal Sunday. He then worked for six years at Citigroup, where he was Director of Financial Education for Citi Personal Wealth Management, before returning to the Journal for an additional 15-month stint as a columnist.  His latest book is How To Think About Money.

2016-11-20 Saving Money On Christmas Gifts With Aasim Inshirah & Ed Fulbright On Mastering Your Money Radio

Saving Money on Christmas Gifts

You have approximately 30 plus days to Christmas.  Christmas has become a money event. Your kids expect to have some type of materialistic gift.  They are asking for Xboxes,  the latest cell phone and more.  It has become a tally of gifts.  It creates stress, hassles and shopping burn outs for parents.  Christmas was not originally meant to become a retailer’s bonanza. 

I remember during Christmas time as a child looking forward to receiving homemade cookies, cakes and pies.  In fact, i remember a client who reduced their Christmas gift bill significantly by coming up with a family Christmas cookie recipe. The cookies were looked at by friends and family as a sign of great love and affection.  Some friends were greatly disappointed when they received store bought gifts instead of the homemade cookies.  The family reduced their gift spending from 6% of annual income to 2% by using this strategy.  This is not a scrooge strategy but one to get your values more in sync with your pocket book and give you extra money to fund your kid’s college fund, your emergency fund, increase your retirement contribution and more.   

Joining us for this discussion on SAVING MONEY ON CHRISTMAS GIFTS is Aasim Inshirah who is the station’s producer and makes sure Mastering Your Money is available to our listeners.

William Crowder

William Crowder- Do I Want Venture Capital Show 

Venture capital is financing that investors provide to startup companies and small businesses that are believed to have long-term growth potential. For startups without access to capital markets, venture capital is an essential source of money. Risk is typically high for investors, but the downside for the startup is that these venture capitalists usually get a say in company decision.   Since African Americans have limited access to capital, will Venture Capital be any easier.

Joining us for our discussion on Do I Want Venture Capital?  is William Crowder  who is calling in from his Philadelphia PA office.  William joined Comcast Ventures in 2012 to lead the Catalyst Fund which focused on investing in startups with diverse founding teams.  He is responsible for identifying, executing and managing new investments while supporting existing portfolio companies for the Fund.  He has an East Coast focus with a particular interest in startups leveraging data and technology to create new operating models for inefficient markets.  A former bootstrapped entrepreneur himself, William’s early stage experience also extends to his involvement with DreamIt Ventures, a global startup accelerator, where he is a partner.
