Full transcript

Hello and welcome to the Beyond Budgets® podcast, where we help parents transform their relationship with money. I'm your host Deb Meyer, a Certified Financial PlannerTM, award-winning author of Redefining Family Wealth, and founder of WorthyNest®. More importantly, I'm a mom of three boys, wild boys, ranging in age from 8 to 14. So I'm right there in the weeds.

And it's my mission to help thousands of families make better financial decisions so they can save smartly, invest intelligently, and give generously.

So being honest here, there's much more to personal finance than managing a budget or getting out of debt. And we're going to touch on some of those other topics in this first season of the Beyond Budgets® podcast. First, we're going to talk about how values should play such an important role in most, if not all, of your financial decisions. We're also going to talk about working together towards financial goals as a married couple, even if you and your spouse have different money personalities, which, spoiler alert, many do.

Also, we're going to talk about three ways to save for higher education costs, including not only 529 plans for college, but even talking about some of the private K through 12 expenses, if that's one of your goals. We'll also discuss debt and the types of debt to specifically avoid, because not all of it is bad. We can talk about preventing tax headaches before they start. And finally, one of my favorites, funding an epic family vacation.

So those are just a few of the topics we'll talk about in Beyond Budgets®. We'll release episodes biweekly on Thursdays, and we'll alternate between solo episodes and lengthier expert interviews. Please subscribe today, and remember, your journey to financial success starts here.
