We really enjoyed our discussion with Joel, and covered a range of topics:
- How personal finances have such an impact on our entire lives, and he really enjoys seeing the impact his advice can have on people’s lives.
- He shares some personal stories about how we grew up with money and how it shaped his views and emotions around money.
- He doesn’t want money to be a contentious topic for people. We’re willing to talk about almost anything except money.
- How he ended up working for Clark Howard and all that he’s learned from him over the years.
- He has no shame when it comes to the saving money game.
- He’s improved his ability to let go of some things around saving money over the years.
- How he and Matt have are adjusting during this quarantine, and that the How To Money podcast has now dedicated their Friday episodes to talking about quarantine topics.
- The importance of being more intentional about finding ways to connect with your spouse during quarantine.
- Frugality is making a comeback right now, and saving money matters so much more now than it did 3 months ago.
- The only thing he’d change over the last 10+ years is to be more generous and have a healthier view of money earlier on, and he talked about how good it feels to see your money do good work for others around you.
