Episode 115: The Brighter Side of Taxes

Ah, taxes … a word that often causes panic and is the bane of many people’s existence. However, through all the angst associated with taxes, there is a brighter side. We’ll start the show with our list of the best accountants portrayed in pop culture. Following the list, we’ll break down taxes – a fiscal policy tool – and how the government can use taxation to control our behavior. One of these methods that influences our spending patterns is referred to as a “tax holiday” where shoppers receive a temporary tax break. How does a tax holiday work? Are these holidays effective? How much can a person save during these periods? Join us as we answer these questions plus much more!

Episode 113: Money Scripts (Part 2)

This week, we are talking further about money scripts, a conversation we started in episode 111. As a refresher, money scripts are essentially your unconscious beliefs about money, which are often rooted in childhood, that affect your behaviors. Join us as we break down these four fascinating scripts: Money Avoidance, Money Worship, Money Status, and Money Vigilance. While none of these scripts are fully bad or fully good, they each entail aspects that will most definitely impact your financial future. Don’t miss our show as we discuss our first memories of money, how to determine your own money script, and understanding the psychology of money and wealth.

Episode 111: Money Scripts (Part 1)

This week, we are furthering our conversation on money-related behaviors by talking about Money Scripts. These beliefs are the basis for much of the ineffective or self-destructive financial behavior that are part of a person’s resistance to change. And speaking of scripts, we are going off-script in this episode as Katie asks some tough questions to Cort and Cam about their unbiased opinions on wealth – whether it be the excess or lack of it. We’ll start the show with our list of the top summer blockbuster movies because, ya know, scripts… Then, we’ll explore the idea of awareness in your financial life, how trauma can change your perception of money, and how these “scripts” can easily become habits that rule your life.

Episode 110: Financial Infidelity

In what may be our most salaciously-titled episode yet, we will be discussing hiding money from your partner. We’ll kick off the show with our list of the top movies involving characters being untruthful about finances, then we’ll jump into this behavioral finance topic. In what can be credited as a “money disorder,” financial infidelity can release a floodgate of problems for a couple – whether they’re married or not. Financial infidelity can be as destructive as its sexual counterpart, and giving into lying about your financial situation can have dire consequences. Join Katie, Cort and Cam as they discuss the signs of financial infidelity, stats about money-related secrecy, and how to deal with the emotions that accompany this betrayal.

Episode 107: Mental Accounting

This week we are furthering our discussion on behavioral finance by talking about mental accounting. This concept boils down to the different values a person places on the same amount of money. Mental accounting often leads people to make irrational investment decisions and behave in detrimental ways, so we are breaking down the different advantages and disadvantages. We’ll start with our list of top psychiatrists portrayed in movies and tv shows, then we’ll discuss mental accounting bias, examples of mental accounting, and overall illogical decisions with finances.

Episode 106: The Game of Risk (Part 2)

This week we are furthering our discussion on risk with respect to your investments. We’ll start the show with our list of movie characters who took big risks that paid off. Then, we’ll discuss inflation rate risk, portfolio diversification, time in the market versus timing the market, and dollar-cost averaging. As with every episode of BullCast, investment education is imperative. Avoid investments that you don’t fully understand, rely on recommendations from a professional (your fiduciary partner), don’t put all of your eggs in one basket, and remember: “A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.”
