Main St Finance Podcast

@MoneyJrod @HeroDividend The question is then, “do we really want the government to be using OUR money to get some amount of control/influence over American companies?” The answer is no. Unfortunately, the SS fund is just stuck owning government bonds and giving us poor returns

@MoneyJrod @HeroDividend So why can’t we invest that money in the market? Then we can all make better returns so we can get fatter checks in retirement. Win win right? If the government used that money to buy stocks, they’d get voting shares in those companies; and therefore some control in those stocks

Is Social Security theft?

@bestfilmeverpod @SalomeSibonex Flight school takes a lot of time, so I definitely haven’t been recording. But you can always find me lurking in the shadows of Twitter and BFE 🤣

@SalomeSibonex I would check out @mainstmoney. He hasn't recorded in a while but his stuff is top notch.

Me: "I would like to educate myself about finance so I can achieve a better life" NPR's finance show: "Best I can do is racism in finance"

@bestfilmeverpod Fantasy will be close, but we’ll see how it goes 🤣

@MainStMoney We’re better for knowing you, Alex. A Merry Christmas to you and yours. Don’t beat me too badly this week.

@bestfilmeverpod Howdy! Didn’t get a chance to send y’all a Christmas message because I suck sometimes, but I hope the gang has a merry Christmas! Looking forward to more fantastic content in 2023 and perhaps another chance to throw in my own two pence on a movie with y’all!

@ThiefCGT @____hka Thanks for the shout, Carlo!

@____hka @MainStMoney!

are there any half decent personal finance podcasts targeted towards millennials?

@steppytay @bestfilmeverpod @OWellies @viewsfromtheno1 @ThiefCGT @Recastedpodcast @Bergershai @katarnett Thank you for the kind words!

@bestfilmeverpod @OWellies @viewsfromtheno1 @ThiefCGT @Recastedpodcast @Bergershai @katarnett Late to this one. Liked the film before; very well might love it after getting the inside scoops from @MainStMoney. Thank you Georgia for asking all the hard questions, and then not letting them enhance your rating whatsoever. But Alex: Cleared for takeoff, my dude.

We've just dropped our ep on #TheBigShort (with @MainStMoney) & want to thank the following for their team spirit: @ItsAMusicalPod @SWOProductions @cinema_recall @SciFiRemnant @RockolaDelRolo @YNFMoviePod @SoWizardPodcast @ShoottheFlick @sig_stay @AlexWermager

@DreemBigger_ @Thefrugalgay11 As an ex-credit analyst, I agree with this guess. We’re a breed that’s always curious about random money stuff

@Thefrugalgay11 He was probably just curious why you spent 59$ there lol what were the 59 items you got. Nothing to do with the loan haha

I once had an underwriter ask me why I spent $59 at the 99 cent store 🙃 I paid cash for everything till the loan closed then I do zero business with that bank now

@bestfilmeverpod Going through some of my old memes and found this gem.

There’s Libby, Hoopla, and many city libraries also have their own app. Library cards are usually free or only a few bucks. Go get yourself a license for free knowledge!

@ThiefCGT @bestfilmeverpod Thanks Carlo! It’s been a BUSY 6 months for me. It was an absolute pleasure to have the opportunity to chat about movies for a few hours.

#NowListening @bestfilmeverpod I haven't seen the film but I wanted to at least listen to the preamble just cause it's so cool to hear of Alex @MainStMoney again! Good to have him back open.spotify.com/episode/4ZnPh5…

@RealDuaneSmith @bestfilmeverpod @EyesWideOpen207 @ItGoDowninthePM @hermesauslander @Ensign_Davies @LinaOberholzer @Dico22 @snrpede2010 @BFE_Georgia Happy to help

@bestfilmeverpod @MainStMoney @EyesWideOpen207 @ItGoDowninthePM @hermesauslander @Ensign_Davies @LinaOberholzer @Dico22 @snrpede2010 @BFE_Georgia 2/2 I came out the other side feeling like I understood it a bit more and I am considering giving it another watch despite not liking it on my first watch. Thanks to Alex for doing such a stonking job!

My wife just got an advertisement on the mail from Walmart that they are now doing personal loans up to $50k and up to 36% interest. So I guess if you live in a state where payday lenders are illegal, at least you have Walmart.

Remember that during the Gold Rush, the people that made the most money were the ones selling the mining supplies Today, we have evolved to online gurus that make money showing how to mine using their “proven system” instead of actually using their system. No pickax required!

Yahoo Finance just sent out their Morning Brief where they showed that 44% of companies are rescinding job offers. All that’s going to do is kill the “two week notice”. After all, If my new job isn’t secure, then I’m not leaving the one I have until my start date.

@KatTretina Zero debt, $39k starting salary. After 8 months, that went up to $58k

College grads, how much did student loan debt did you have, and how much was your starting salary? I left school with $35k of student loans. My first salary after earning my degree was $37,500

We’ll gang, it’s been a tough 4 months, but yesterday I finally received my Private Pilot’s License!! It’s been a few weeks since my last episode and I’ve definitely been slacking on Twitter from all the studying, but hopefully I’ll be less busy from here on out!

Starting to look like a good time to roll a traditional account into a Roth account. However I think I’m going to sit until we’re officially in a recession an see if I can do this rollover with a lower tax bill.
