Send us Fan MailHave you created a plan for when you eventually need assistance with everyday activities and are unable to care for yourself for a long period of time? It's best to start considering long term care insurance when you're relatively young and healthy, as this will help you secure a lower premium rate. Generally, the younger and healthier you are, the more cost-effective and suitable the policy is likely to be. I was always under the assumption that I should purchase a policy somewhere in the age range of my mid-50s to mid-60s but Dr. Jay burst my bubble. He also got me thinking about what I would do about my father if he needed this assistance. Updates since the episode:Multiple states (including CA, NY, MD, and PA) have continued to study WA-style long-term care programs, but as of late 2025 no other state has fully implemented a mandatory LTC payroll tax.Medicaid and state long-term care rules change often. The examples in this episode are from early 2023 – if you’re making decisions, please check current rules for your state or talk with a qualified planner or elder-law attorney.The free February planning sessions Jay mentions were a one-time 2023 offer.

Her work has been featured in journals like the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and Journal of Infectious Diseases.When Angel became a nurse, she started building her own money method with a singular goal: to break her family’s generational poverty cycle. Even though her first nursing job paid her just $16/hr, she was able to pay off $200,000 of debt, buy her home in cash, cars in cash, and make work optional by her mid-thirties. She’s so glad she did, because the realities of nursing left her exhausted, and she took 5 years off to recover.Now she has turned her money method into a State Board of Nursing Continuing Education program, called Ultimate Nurse Investing.

Send us Fan MailWe are joined by Jordan Berry, a laundromat business owner with nearly a decade of experience in the industry. Jordan shares his journey from being a pastor to venturing into the laundromat business. He shares his initial challenges with the first laundromat acquisition, including buying a fixer-upper that didn't meet the promised numbers. Jordan also talks about the importance of due diligence when acquiring laundromats, as they often have cash-based income, making valuation and verification critical. And while laundromats can relatively become passive, there are still responsibilities and problem-solving involved. Jordan highlights the flexibility in how laundromats can be run to align with your specific goals, whether it's creating more free time or generating significant income.About our guest:Jordan was a pastor for 15 years and transitioned out of full-time ministry into buying a laundromat. His experience buying his first laundromat was not a good one. Instead of replacing his salary, as he expected, his laundromat lost $2,000 dollars per month for well over a year. Desperate to find help to turn his business around, he frantically searched for someone to guide him to profitability. He found no rescue. After finally stopping the bleeding, he decided to share the hard-earned (and expensive) lessons he learned on a blog. And then on a YouTube channel.

Imagine if they not only had school fully paid for but graduated with a nest egg already in place.Chris shares how his Debt Free Degree Triangle makes this possible. About our guest:Chris Corinthian has worked for over 15 years in higher education in the areas of financial aid and financial literacy. After working with thousands of students, he realized that there were specific steps that students did to receive multiple scholarships and graduate debt-free. Unfortunately, there were also students who did not know this information and dropped out of school because they did not have enough money to complete college. Chris is on a mission to stop the national student loan debt from rising by showing students the blueprint to not only graduate debt-free but also show them how they can have money in the bank when they walk across that stage at graduation. Through teaching the principles of financial literacy, he walks high school students and current college students through a three-step framework on how to “find the money, budget the money, and grow the money” to pay for school.Check out Chris’s bookGet a free chapter from the bookResources mentioned:Taco Bell Live Mas ScholarshipRaise.meSchollyClep examsSupport the show---Grab your spot in my free Financial CPR class and learn the simple steps I used to go from paycheck to paycheck to my first million.Please join me here, and follow me on social media, Instagram, and Facebook.Need help getting started on your path to financial freedom?

Send us Fan MailToday, I want to talk about something that's been on my mind a lot. Did you know some families pay as much for childcare each month as they do for their house? That's right! For example, I pay $3,400 a month just so someone can take care of my kids while I work. That's the same as my house payment! It's crazy expensive, and it's not just me feeling this pinch. I read an article from the U.S. Department of Labor that says childcare costs a lot of money everywhere in the United States. This makes it super hard for families to afford to have kids, and it's tough on the people who work in childcare too. They don't get paid very much, which doesn't seem fair since they do such an important job. Can't wait to hear what you think, so be sure to let me know!

Send us Fan MailWe are joined by Jordan Berry, a laundromat business owner with nearly a decade of experience in the industry. Jordan shares his journey from being a pastor to venturing into the laundromat business. He shares his initial challenges with the first laundromat acquisition, including buying a fixer-upper that didn't meet the promised numbers. Jordan also talks about the importance of due diligence when acquiring laundromats, as they often have cash-based income, making valuation and verification critical. And while laundromats can relatively become passive, there are still responsibilities and problem-solving involved. Jordan highlights the flexibility in how laundromats can be run to align with your specific goals, whether it's creating more free time or generating significant income.About our guest:Jordan was a pastor for 15 years and transitioned out of full-time ministry into buying a laundromat. His experience buying his first laundromat was not a good one. Instead of replacing his salary, as he expected, his laundromat lost $2,000 dollars per month for well over a year. Desperate to find help to turn his business around, he frantically searched for someone to guide him to profitability. He found no rescue. After finally stopping the bleeding, he decided to share the hard-earned (and expensive) lessons he learned on a blog. And then on a YouTube channel. And then, on a quest to find out how the best laundromat owners operated their businesses, he started a podcast interviewing laundromat owners and other industry professionals. These platforms turned into Laundromat Resource, an education and community platform for laundromat owners and future laundromat owners to learn, share best practices, and connect with one another.Laundromat ResourceSupport the show---Grab your spot in my free Financial CPR class and learn the simple steps I used to go from paycheck to paycheck to my first million.Please join me here, and follow me on social media, Instagram, and Facebook.Need help getting started on your path to financial freedom?

He is a late-starter who woke up to Financial Independence at 50. Bill lived largely in a paycheck-to-paycheck existence in the rat race, on the hedonic treadmill, spending first and saved last.

Recovery has been hard but very rewarding. Bill's mission is to help other late starters start now and get others to start as early as possible on their individual journeys to financial independence.

Send us Fan MailWorried about paying for college for your kids? Imagine if they not only had school fully paid for but graduated with a nest egg already in place. Chris shares how his Debt Free Degree Triangle makes this possible. About our guest:Chris Corinthian has worked for over 15 years in higher education in the areas of financial aid and financial literacy. After working with thousands of students, he realized that there were specific steps that students did to receive multiple scholarships and graduate debt-free. Unfortunately, there were also students who did not know this information and dropped out of school because they did not have enough money to complete college. Chris is on a mission to stop the national student loan debt from rising by showing students the blueprint to not only graduate debt-free but also show them how they can have money in the bank when they walk across that stage at graduation. Through teaching the principles of financial literacy, he walks high school students and current college students through a three-step framework on how to “find the money, budget the money, and grow the money” to pay for school.Check out Chris’s bookGet a free chapter from the bookResources mentioned:Taco Bell Live Mas ScholarshipRaise.meSchollyClep examsSupport the show---Grab your spot in my free Financial CPR class and learn the simple steps I used to go from paycheck to paycheck to my first million.Please join me here, and follow me on social media, Instagram, and Facebook.Need help getting started on your path to financial freedom?

But life insurance pays for the finances well beyond your life.

Send us Fan MailThese are unprecedented times, especially for all of us that work in health care. There is so much that is out off our control. The one thing that we do have control over is how we manage our student loan debt. I’ve brought in a student loan expert with the tools to empower you to navigate the student loan system so that it is working for you and not holding you down. Brenton Harrison is a financial influencer and speaker who has spent over a decade teaching financial literacy and empowering people with tools to take control of their money. He is the CEO and Founder of UltraBorrowers Academy, a course for high-income earners whose lives have been impacted by a high student loan burden. He teaches strategies for overcoming the burden of debt, juggling family and money, and establishing a financial foothold for those who were never taught the principles of financial literacy. His work has been featured in publications such as Business Insider, Life Happens, Benefits Magazine, and AdvisorToday.*** Update 5/14/20. Since this episode was recorded, the IRS has actually clarified that the stimulus check will NOT have to be repaid. The confusion was that in the language of the bill, the stimulus check is referred to as an advance of a tax refund. But they’ve since stated that it will not have to be repaid, nor will they allow it to lower the income you were already due to receive.***Please join me here, and follow me on social media, Instagram and Facebook. Join the Nurses on Fire Community and get access to resources to guide you on the path to Financial Freedom.Oh and please subscribe and leave a review on whatever app you're using to stream this podcast. Links mentioned:Ultra Borrowers AcademyUse this link to get a 15% discount on the course or they can enter the code NURSEONFIRE at checkout.

If only her hospital retirement advisor hadn't told her that retirement at the age of 45 "wasn't a thing" she would have invested 50% of her income from the time she started working in her 20s instead of the 15% and been fatFIRE by now. Tara also discusses how her multiple side-hustles has helped her turn her passion into profits, further growing the gap between her income and expenses.
