Janelle returns to the studio to talk about how we've sacrificed over the years in order to win with money. It all starts with one liberating word: "NO." But in our society, you're not allowed to say no to anything. We disagree, and we share in today's show the things we've learned to say no to. Show notes: - Mailbag - Lisa asks how to budget for those "Magic Months" when you get an extra paycheck. Bill asks a similar question about how to budget when you get paid weekly. - It's hard to avoid bank offers for more debt but it can be done and we're living proof! - It's a little taboo these days, but you can (and should) say no to your kids every once in a while instead of letting their wants dictate your spending and ruin your budget. - We finally figured out that our name isn't Jones. When we figured that out, we figured out how to avoid lots of extra expenses and save lots of money that will set us up for a great future. - We've even had to say no to certain things within our relationships. These were perhaps the hardest things to say no to but definitely necessary and worth doing. Like what you hear? Visit the iTunes store and leave a review or leave a comment below.

Living In Financial Excellence Episode 12: What bank accounts you really do need (and don't need). June 16, 2010. I get asked a lot about how many checking or savings accounts we should really have and what each account is really for. Janelle and I answer those questions and more in today's show. Don't forget that the L.I.F.E. Ladder is the foundation for applying the information we discuss today. If you're not following the L.I.F.E. Ladder, you may not want to listen to our advice. :) Show notes: - Our current economic situation and housing industry crisis is a repeat of history. This isn't the first time it's happened but we never seem to learn our lessons and avoid the mistakes of the past. - The main accounts most of us have are personal checking and savings. We cover what types of expenses should be paid from each account. - Many small business owners try to get fancy and have lots of different accounts. Simpler is better as long as business and personal accounts are kept separate. We cover what types of business accounts you really need. - Should you have joint bank accounts or separate accounts when you're married? I always recommend joint bank accounts, and we discuss why in the show. - What bank accounts should you open for your children? We offer our thoughts (it depends on your savings goals for that money). - What should you look for when you open an account with your bank? - Why your credit card rewards and the interest rate on your checking account don't really matter.
