I chat with podcast listener Alexis Kienlen about how she empowered herself by ending the mystery banking cycle & teaching herself about money management.

Long description:

This is why I love when podcast listeners reach out to me to be part of my Listener Series. Because sometimes they end with me saying that it felt like chatting with a friend I hadn’t talked to in a while. My listeners are amazing!

Anywho, this interview is particularly timely as November is Financial Literacy Month and my guest Alexis Kienlen shared how learning about personal finance changed her life for the better.

Like many millennials, she graduated hoping to follow her dreams and become a journalist. But, things have changed and it’s not as easy to earn a living and work in journalism. Realizing that she didn’t want to be broke anymore, she started reading blogs, listening to podcasts, reading The Globe and Mail and even reading Personal Finance for Dummies.

Now, she feels so much more in control of her life and her future, and it all came down to taking the time to educate herself so she could start making informed decisions.

Way to go Alexis, I can’t wait to see where you end up in the next few years (hopefully a published author and new homeowner!).

Is it possible to earn money on your investments without sacrificing your ethics? Tim Nash, investing coach and the blogger behind The Sustainable Economist explains why yes, you can!

Long description:

At FinCon 2017, I had the pleasure of sitting down with my three of my favourite Canadian personal finance bloggers: Desirae Odjick from Half Banked, Andrew Daniel from Family Money Plan and Bob Lai from Tawcan.

This episode was recorded live on the last day of the conference, and has us chatting about their experience at the conference and what takeaways they'll be leaving with, their thoughts on blogging and everything in between.

For this Listener Series episode, I chat with Tracy Ma about how built her real estate empire despite her coming from humble beginnings.

He wasn’t fulfilled in his life or career, so instead of complaining and wishing he had better luck, John Lee Dumas did something about it…which turned into a multi-million dollar a year business now known around the world as Entrepreneurs on Fire.

If you want to avoid 5-figures in student debt by going to university, ever considered going to a trade school instead? I talk with Sylvia about how she went the nontraditional route for her career and why it was the best decision she could have ever made.

Long description:

The stats on student debt in Canada and the US are staggering. More and more young people are graduating with degrees in hand and 5-figures in debt to pay off. And sometimes that debt-burden will take them decades to pay off.

Here’s the thing…going to university and sticking with the traditional route of getting a degree to start your career isn’t the only way. For this Listener Series episode, I talk with Sylvia Bourgeois about her decision to not go to university but go to a trade school instead.

Instead of spending 4 years earning a degree with a boatload of debt to pay off after (not to mention grim job prospects), she was able to graduate her technical school debt-free, find a job soon after and start earning a decent income that would help her buy a home in Vancouver and eventually start her own contracting business.

The biggest message in this episode is that there’s no one way to do things. You don’t have to go to university, work in an office and climb your way up the ladder to be successful in your career. Moreover, if you’re a woman, you don’t have to pigeon-hole yourself into certain sectors or industries.

I’m ashamed to say that I never even considered a career in the trades because I didn’t think many women worked in that industry. Sylvia certainly proved that wrong, and wants to encourage more women to explore different career paths, even if they aren’t the popular or traditional choice.

I talk with the guy who wrote the book on side hustles (literally), Chris Guillebeau, author of Side Hustle: Idea to Income in 27 Days, who shares his tips on how to start and master your side hustle to take your finances to the next level.

Long description:

Thinking of jumping into the housing market? There's a lot to know and even more pressure to make a good decision (it is the biggest purchase of your life after all). I talk with Penelope Graham, Managing Editor of Zoocasa to find out what potential home buyers should know before buying their first place.

Long description:

If you have some questions about the home buying process, my guest Penelope Graham, Managing Editor for Zoocasa, has the answers!

Penelope was actually one of the panelists for my Millennial Money Meetup #2 in May 2017, and the focus for that event was homeownership and renting vs. buying. She was one of the top voted panelists by attendees, so I knew I needed to bring her on the show to share her wisdom.

Having bought my first place just a year ago, I still remember all the stress, research and more stress that went into finally signing on the dotted line. Toronto is a hot market, so I knew I needed to be prepared and not take this home buying process lightly.

Now that that’s behind me, I want to make sure that other millennials who are thinking of buying are just as well informed and prepared for this very big purchase. And if you have any questions after this episode, contact Penelope and she’ll be happy to guide you on the right path!

There’s a new way to get rid of stuff you want to get stuff you need, and I chat with Eli Klein, Manager, Publicity & Partnerships at Bunz all about it.

I was joined by Cait Flanders, author of The Year of Less, for my latest Millennial Money Meetup in Vancouver and she shared about her 2-year shopping ban.

Long description:

At the event, Cait dropped some major truth bombs that I want to recap right here. It’s funny, even though I know Cait really well and we talk all the time, when she was sharing her story, some of what she said really made me think twice about how I think about spending, saving and earning.

You Shouldn’t Feel Guilty About Spending Money

For instance, a big part of her personal finance journey is getting out of debt. In her early 20s she spent more than she earned and racked up a bunch of consumer debt. So, she hustled to get that debt number to zero and has maintained her debt-free status ever since. This is no easy feat, but what she discovered was that after becoming debt-free, her spending started to ramp up again.

This wasn’t because she was a shopaholic, it’s because she just wasn’t being mindful with her spending. Let’s be honest, that’s probably most of us. We are so used to spending first, thinking second, that most of what we buy isn’t anything that’s of any real value in our lives.

She also found that she wasn’t saving that much. What’s the point of being debt-free if you can’t finally allocate those debt-repayment dollars towards your savings goals?

That’s where the shopping ban idea came in. She wanted to take control of her spending without feeling guilty about it. That’s an interesting thing that she made sure we all understand. A shopping ban isn’t to make you feel bad about spending. It’s to prioritize your spending. She still had to spend money, despite what “shopping ban” may sound like. She still had bills to pay and sometimes needed to buy a new bed or pair of pants. And that’s fine. But she just wanted to make sure everything she spent money on mattered.

Mindful spending is definitely something I think we can all try to be better at (though as I mentioned in the recording, I’m not sure I’m strong enough to do a 2-year shopping ban).

Be Open to the Idea of Earning More

I loved that she brought this up, because Cait and I actually talked about this one-on-one during my Vancouver visit. We’re both self-employed, though Cait’s been at it for a few years already, and making money is definitely at the forefront of your mind when you’re solely responsible for making the bacon.

I do sometimes miss getting a guaranteed paycheque every two weeks, but I also love finally being my own boss. Still, I’m always thinking about earning. I’ve got a spreadsheet I update constantly, I use Freshbooks to help me with my accounting (which I literally couldn’t live without), and I’m always hustling to make that money honey.

Money is always on my mind, and sometimes it really gets me down. Sometimes I get excited about the idea of earning more than I ever have before because finally there’s no salary cap. But most times I just hope I can make as much as the job I left. It’s a constant psychological battle of wanting to earn more so I can live a better life, and wanting to earn just enough so I can afford my current life.

Cait shared some of what she’s experienced working for herself, and how for years she would think she could only make a certain amount. She never had aspirations of earning 6 figures per year, and she was fine with that. But then she started talking to a few friends, and realized that she was limiting herself by not being open to the idea of earning more.

I think this is something we’ve all thought at one point or another (especially us women). The idea that we can only earn a certain amount, or trying to rationalize why we don’t need to earn more.

I would love to earn more. I’d love to bring in 6 figures per year. But I’m also afraid that if I put that pressure on myself, I’ll be too focused on making money and not focused enough on my main calling which is helping and empowering others.

But when Cait brought up it was more about being open to earning more, I just really like how she put it. I don’t need to earn a lot to be happy, but earning more than I am now could offer me more choice, more opportunity and ultimately more freedom.

Ever daydreamed of being able to RV around the country and working solely from your laptop? That dream is Michelle from Making Sense of Cents' reality, and she shares how she went from being 4-figures in debt to earning 6-figures every month

Long description:

I’m so excited to be kicking off Season 5 of the Mo’ Money Podcast with this stellar interview with Michelle Schroeder-Gardner from Making Sense of Cents. It’s not every day you get to talk to someone you’ve been following for years who went from ordinary personal finance blogger to online entrepreneur raking in over $100,000 per month (yes, I’m not lying, just check out her income reports for proof!). 

Now, I want to preface that even though Michelle is able to earn six figures per month, if you’re not, that’s ok! This episode isn’t to say that you should be earning as much as Michelle and if you’re not you’re failing at life. This episode should serve as motivation and inspiration to earn more than you do right now.

Michelle didn’t start out making this much, she hustled to get where she is today. And she still hustles today to keep it going so she can continue RVing around the country, working from her laptop and supporting her family.

So after this episode, I dare you to look at your current financial situation, start taking your debt seriously if you have some, and see if there is any way you can earn a little extra to help you move toward you financial goals that much quicker.

Here are some tips from Michelle below to help you get started.

Tips for Getting Out of Debt

1. Take all of your student loan balances and add them up so you know the exact total. This will give you a concrete number to keep in your mind to work towards paying off.
2. Find ways to cut back on your spending so you can put any extra money towards debt-repayment.
3. Find ways to earn extra money so you can pile that onto your debt to accelerate repayment.
4. Set a deadline and be specific. Don’t just say you want to pay off your debt in a few years. Pick a specific date two years from now that will be your debt-free date.

Tips for Starting an Online Business

1. Diversification is key to start out so you don't rely on one income source.
2. Find out what works for you, and if you want to be a freelancer who works for clients or an entrepreneur who sells products or has a service for customers.
3. In terms of blogging income, creating a product (like a course) can be a great source of income, and same with taking part in affiliate programs.

I rarely do this, but I just had to put out this special episode to share some really important announcements I don't want you to miss!

First off, the next season of the podcast (Season 5 if you’re counting) will officially kick off on Wednesday, Sept. 27 with a fresh new episode! This season has a great line-up of guests and a lot of the interviews focus on making money and earning more to help your finances, so you definitely want to tune in!

Another thing that’ll be happening on Sept. 27 is my book club! I started a book club in the summer and I want you to join in for the next one. It'll be going down in my Facebook group (Money Life Balance Community) on Sept. 27 at 7pm ET and we're reading Millionaire Teacher by Andrew Hallam. He'll also join us live for the book club, so you won't want to miss that! To learn more, visit https://jessicamoorhouse.com/bookclub

Something that’s happening even before all that is a very special event I’ll be doing in my hometown! For all of my Vancouver friends, I'm going to be hosting my Millennial Money Meetup in Vancouver on Monday, Sept. 18, so visit http://millennialmoneymeetup.com to get your tickets before they're sold out!

Last but not least, if you missed out on your chance to register for the Rich & Fit Bootcamp this past June, fear not because the doors are opening once again. Sign up for updates at http://richandfitbootcamp.com to be the first to know when you can enroll!

To wrap up Season 4 of the Mo' Money Podcast, I recorded a special solo episode to share what I've been up to and my plans for the future.

Long description:

I can't believe we've already arrived at the end of Season 4 of the Mo' Money Podcast. With 114 episodes and 2 years of podcasting under my belt, I can honestly say that starting this podcast has hands-down been one of the best decisions I ever made.

To wrap up with season, I thought it was time for another solo episode. So, I took some time last week to lay on my couch therapy-stay and record pretty much anything that came into my head.

I share what it's been like since I quit my full-time job to work for myself. How it's been being a homeowner for almost a year now (spoiler: it's been awesome and expensive). And lastly, I share what I've got coming up for the second half of the year and some ideas I've been considering for Season 5 of the podcast and just my community building efforts at large.

Ideas I've Got for the Future

For instance, would you be interested in a special series on the podcast dedicated to making money and entrepreneurship? I know there are a ton of podcasts out there focused on that already, but I find none of them truly talk about the financial aspects of owning a business or starting a side hustle.

Another idea I had was to start doing mini-meetups in my city of Toronto (and maybe in Vancouver when I'm in town). I love doing my Millennial Money Meetups, but they're a pretty big ordeal and it would be neat to do something a bit smaller and more intimate.

My last idea was maybe start some sort of book club in my Facebook group. Logistically, I'm not exactly sure how to do this besides integrating a Facebook live aspect to it, but I think it would be a great way for us all to learn then chat about different aspects of personal finance.

Just putting that out there, so if you have some opinions or have any other ideas you'd like me to explore, please let me know by tweeting me or emailing me!

A Huge Thank You for Supporting the Podcast!

Aside from me just talking about me for a good 30 minutes, what I really want to express closing out this season is how thankful I am for you listening and subscribing to my podcast. It was a passion project that quickly turned into something real that people binge-listen to! I never thought I could affect or reach people like I am through this podcast, and it's honestly the best feeling in the world to feel that type of strong connection.

It's something I never really felt with just the blog, so seriously a big thank you for supporting the Mo' Money Podcast, and I'm excited to kick-off Season 5 of the show this fall. Make sure to subscribe on iTunes, SoundCloud or YouTube if you haven't already to be updated when Season 5 starts, or sign up to my weekly newsletter to stay in the loop!

Managing your money with your partner doesn't have to be awkward or even difficult, and Talaat & Tai McNeely from His and Her Money share how to do it successfully.

Long description:

For my second to last episode of season 4 of the Mo' Money Podcast, I chat with Talaat and Tai McNeely, America's favourite money couple from His and Her Money. We talk about how they got together and figured out their own financial differences, then what led them to start helping others and sharing their wisdom with the masses through their podcast and YouTube channel.

Do you know what your money operating system is? Hilary Hendershott discusses this, as well as how to empower yourself through your money & navigating divorce in this episode.

Long description: 

This is by far one of my favourite podcast episodes of the season, and it all has to do with how insightful and wise Hilary Hendershott is. Not only does she hold an MBA and CFP (so she knows her stuff!), she has a great story.

At the beginning, she was terrible with her money. Even when she was working as a financial advisor, helping others with their money, she wasn't taking care of hers. When her credit cards got maxed out and she realized she somehow couldn't afford her mortgage payments, that's when she decided to make a drastic change.

She made the decision to take control of her money, start understanding her money operating system (a.k.a. money mindset), and managing her money in a way that worked best with her and her psyche.

Now, she's miles away from where she used to be, and is driven to help other women do the same with their finances.

This is the perfect episode for some major Wednesday Wisdom, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I recorded it (and re-listened to it).

If there's anything you can takeaway from this episode, it's that no matter where you are right now financially, that doesn't mean you have to stay there. You too can make a change for the better. You just have to take that first step by making it your top priority, then dedicating the time and effort required to follow through with a solid financial plan.

Wise Words from Hilary

I believe you can be financially free.
Believe in your economic independence.
I believe you are always free to imagine, design and create wealth in your life.
I believe that wealth is well-being. I believe having money creates options.
I believe when you are unconstrained, anything is possible.
I believe in bootstrapping and micro lending and entrepreneurship.
I believe in a world where everyone has enough.

Want to learn how to reach financial independence, so you can sit by the beach and do whatever you want? Well, it's not exactly easy but it is absolutely possible. I chat with Pauline Paquin, blogger at Reach Financial Independence, to discuss how she was able to leave the 9 to 5 world, work remotely in Guatemala, and live a life most of us could only dream of. 

Long description:

Ever dreamed quitting your 9 to 5 and working remotely from your laptop in paradise? Sounds like a dream, but it can actually become your reality...if you follow in Pauline Paquin's footsteps.

Pauline has figured out the secret sauce to living a financially independent life, like so many of us fantasize about on a day-to-day basis. But it wasn't just luck, and no she didn't win the lottery.

She started out by graduating university debt-free and investing her savings into a rental property. The income from the rental helped pay for her to travel abroad, but she knew she needed do something extra to not always live on a shoestring budget. So, she started freelance writing and eventually started her own blog — Reach Financial Independence.

Since then, she's also started another blog called Make Money Your Way, and has bought two other money-making blogs — Frugaling and Savvy Scot.

Pauline also shares one of her big inspirations and motivators in her life — Ramit Sethi from I Will Teach You to Be Rich. One of the biggest lessons she's learned from Ramit's teachings is that you should adopt an abundance money mindset instead of a scarcity mindset. This essentially means stopping the thinking of "I can't afford that" and changing it to "How can I afford that? What do I need to do in my life to reach that goal."

Having the right mindset when it comes to money is a big key to reaching your goals, no matter what they are, and I'll admit I absolutely have the same money mindset when it comes to my life.

At a certain point in your personal finance journey, you'll realize that there's nothing left to cut out of your budget and you're living as frugally as you can. At that point, it's either time to look for a higher paying job or joining a number of others by getting yourself a side hustle. In this episode I chat with Nick Loper, founder of Side Hustle Nation, about how to get a side hustle and how he was able to turn his love for side hustles into his full-time gig.

Long description:

It seems like everyone has a side hustle these days, or is thinking about starting one. Which is why I thought the perfect guest to have on the Mo' Money Podcast would be Nick Loper from Side Hustle Nation. I met him after I spoke at FinCon's Ignite last year, and I was in total awe of his podcast and the insanely loyal audience he grew. But the best thing is, he's seriously the nicest, humblest guy!

Now, I've kind of always had a side hustle. It started with being a teleprompter operator for the news, PAing on film sets, then eventually I started this blog to see if I can earn some money. Well, after almost 6 years, I was able to finally turn this side hustle into my full-time hustle, so if you're ever wondering whether it's worth it to start a side hustle and spend some of your extra hours on building a side business — just try it. There's no harm in trying a few things out and seeing if they work. And there's no shame in failure as long as you walk away with a lesson learned.

In this episode, Nick also shares his personal story with getting his first side hustle and how he eventually became an online entrepreneur teaching others about how side hustles could take them to the next level with their financials. As I always tell people, at a certain point, you'll find with your budget that there's nothing left to cut out. And at that point, it's time to start looking at other ways to earn some extra income.

Millennials have a different way of thinking and handling money compared to Generation X and the Baby Boomers, and Broke Millennial author Erin Lowry shares the dos and don'ts of money management for Generation Y in this interview about her book, her blog and her journey to becoming one of the top millennial money experts around.

Long description:

Is there really that big of a difference between managing your money as a millennial compared to being a Gen Xer or Baby Boomer? As a millennial who has read numerous personal finance blogs and books, have attended my fair share of finance conferences, and have been writing and interviewing others on personal finance for over 5 years now, my answer is yes, yes and a BIG yes!

Luckily, I'm not the only one who thinks this way and Erin Lowry, the blogger behind BrokeMillennial.com, wrote a book (also named Broke Millennial) that focuses on money for millennials specifically.

Although when it really comes down to it, the principles of personal finance don't really change generation to generation. But the fact still remains, we are a very different generation than those before us. We experienced different things and sometimes speak a different language. And that's why I found it so refreshing to read Erin's book that really got me. Got my struggles with money and offered practical and modern solutions. 

Grab a Copy of Erin's Book Broke Millennial

If you want a book that focuses on millennial money issues specifically, and outlines how to tackle your road blocks with money, how to choose the best budgeting style for you, how to negotiate a better salary and much more, grab a copy of Erin's newly released book Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together.

I chat with TeensGotCents creator Eva Baker about why she's so passionate about educating teens about personal finance, what inspired her to found The Teenpreneur Conference, and what she wants teens to know the most about managing their money the smart way.

Long description:

Unlike many teens her age, Eva Baker started to get interested in personal finance at the young age of 16. She started listening to Dave Ramsey's teachings, and got hooked. But what she soon realized is there was a ton of information out there on how to fix your financial woes, but not a ton on how to avoid them when you're a teen and just starting your own personal finance journey.

That's when she got the idea to create TeensGotCents, a financial literacy blog for teens that explores money and issues relating to adolescents specifically. I sure wish her blog was around when I was in high school! I'm sure I would have figured out how to make my part-time job income go further.

As she mentions in the interview, she also started her blog as her major project for school, but it eventually took off and became her full-time gig. Now in her 20s, she manages a staff of writers to keep creating valuable content for teens on the website. And if that weren't impressive enough, she also founded her own conference — The Teenpreneur Conference — that's all about promoting entrepreneurship to teens. The next conference will be taking place June 8-10, 2017 in Jacksonville, Florida.

Join Me for a Live Webinar!

I mentioned in this episode about an upcoming webinar I'll be hosting with friend and business partner Jaclyn Phillips. We'll be doing a live webinar all about how to master your money and fitness on Wednesday, May 31 at 7pm ET to kick-off the launch of our Rich & Fit Bootcamp course.

Registration for the course will open right after the webinar, and promptly close on Wednesday, June 7 (that's right, we're only opening the doors for 1 week!). And a big reason you'll want to join us for the webinar is because not only will we discuss more about the course specifically, but we'll also be awarding 3 scholarships to the course to 3 lucky live webinar attendees.
