994: Solving the Immigration Crisis in the USA

Fair warning: today's podcast topic will have only limited interest, as it's outside the normal guidlines of "personal finance." I'm recording the show in response to a question from a long-time listener who wanted my input on a specific topic: the current immigration crisis. This is clearly an important topic, but one that has only a peripheral connection to personal finance. If you're interested in hearing my extensive thoughts on the immigration crisis and topic in general, listen to this show.  Enjoy, Joshua __ __

985: How to Save Up A Down Payment to Buy Your Own Home

This audio was recorded as part of a recent Friday Q&A show, just before Christmas.

"An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving" by Louisa May Alcott

Today, in celebration of the American holiday "Thanksgiving Day," I want to share with you a recording of short story written by Louisa May Alcott, called "An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving." The audio file has no commentary—it's merely an unabridged reading of the story—and is suitable for you to share with your children as a worthwhile story to enjoy this time of year. But this story is filled with financial lessons for those with ears to hear. As you listen to a life of long ago (circa 1830), I'd encourage you to reflect on the life that you and I now live in comparison. For me, this reflection fills me with Thanksgiving, which is the starting point of living a rich life now. You are rich. I am rich. Let's realize it and act appropriately. Joshua __ __ Here are a few poem and prayers of Thanksgiving you may enjoy as well: ~~William Shakespeare 1564-1616
