- In this episode, we're talking about the Midas metal.
Gold has long been known as a store of value and a hedge against both inflation and global uncertainty. This is why it's also a part of many well-diversified savings strategies, including retirement accounts.

In this week's podcast, host Stacy Johnson is joined by financial journalist Miranda Marquit. Listening in and sometimes contributing is producer Aaron Freeman. This week, we have a special guest, Devlyn Steele from Augusta Precious Metals, here to talk about everything gold related, including how to set up a Gold IRA.

But what if you don’t have a stable salary? What if you’re one of the millions of Americans who do side work or own a business or get paid commission? For you, a variable income is just part of the deal.

The Federal Reserve's been raising rates all year, and they've signaled they're not done yet.
Rising rates act as a break on the economy, slowing it down in order to tame rising prices, otherwise known as inflation.
But there's a problem with slowing the economy…slow it too much and it could start sliding into reverse; in other words, a recession: two or more consecutive quarters of economic contraction.
Many experts (and investors) are wondering if a recession is coming in 2023.
We're already dealing with rising rates and a roller-coaster stock market. But preparing for a potential recession is a whole other ball game.
In this week's podcast, we're going to talk about how to do it.

https://www.moneytalksnews.com/5-ways-you-can-buy-happiness/
So here's the question: Can you put a price on happiness?
In 2010, Princeton research suggested that people's day-to-day happiness tops out when they make $75,000.
More recent research, however, indicates that there is no dollar value at which having more money doesn't contribute to well-being. So, money can buy happiness. Especially if you use it well. Because the happiness you derive from money depends completely on what you spend it on.
As usual, host Stacy Johnson is joined by financial journalist Miranda Marquit. Listening in and sometimes contributing is producer Aaron Freeman. Today's special guest is Jason Vitug, a former bank executive and financial wellness expert. His forthcoming book, Happy Money Happy Life, is due in early 2023.

https://www.moneytalksnews.com/how-to-lend-to-or-borrow-from-family-and-friends/
According to the Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey, 25.6 million people borrowed from friends and family this year, up from 19.1 million a year ago.
So here’s the question: If a friend or family member came to you for money, would you give it to them?
It’s been an issue for hundreds of years. Take this line from Shakespeare's Hamlet: “Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend.
And it’s true. A Bankrate survey found that nearly half of those who lend to friends and family say it doesn’t end well.
So, when you’re approached, or are about to approach, what’s the right way to do it? That’s what we’re going to talk about today.

Navigating the Social Security Administration is no picnic. That's why we're going to answer some of your questions about Social Security in this podcast.

The stock market, one of the best ways to beat inflation over time, is struggling. So, what's a saver to do?
One great solution may also be one of the safest: I-bonds. The "I" stands for inflation, and they're called that because as inflation goes up, so does the interest on these US government bonds. Example? Right now they're paying 9.6%!
Sounds good, but what's the catch?
