168: Mastering Financial Habits and Mindsets with Brad Nelson

Insights from the Natalie Tysdal Podcast with Brad Nelson Finances are an integral part of our daily lives, influencing not only our present but also our future. In a recent episode of the Natalie Tysdal Podcast, host Natalie Tysdal is joined by financial expert Brad Nelson to discuss the human traits essential for financial success: habits, choices, behaviors, and changing one's financial mindset. Let's dive deeper into the key takeaways from this enlightening conversation. The Importance of Budgeting: More Than Just Numbers Budgeting often carries a misconception of being restrictive or tedious. Natalie and Brad emphasize a different perspective: budgeting is a critical tool for financial freedom. They argue that budgeting isn't just about math; it's a strategic approach that helps you understand your financial landscape, make informed decisions, and achieve your goals. To illustrate its importance, they highlight how developing good financial habits through consistent budgeting can make money management simpler and less stressful over time. Budgeting is not a one-time task but a continuous process that demands discipline and a long-term commitment. Understanding Healthy Debt and Its Risks Debt is often viewed negatively, but it's crucial to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy debt. Brad and Natalie explore this distinction with examples like mortgages, which can be considered healthy debts if they're manageable and used to acquire appreciating assets. However, they caution about the risks associated with any type of debt, emphasizing the need for careful assessment and planning. The conversation also touches upon the use of credit cards for points and rewards. While tempting, Brad reminds listeners of the potential pitfalls, suggesting that debit cards might be a better alternative for those prone to overspending.   Listen as we speak: 00:00 - Financial Challenges Faced by Women 05:01 - Developing a Clear Vision for Financial Goals 09:58 - Starting with a Budget and Tracking Expenses 12:55 - Developing Good Financial Habits - 16:40 - The Power of Saving Early 23:07 - Teaching Children about Financial Habits Notes from Natalie: Get weekly tips and updates: https://marvelous-designer-6863.ck.page/fd348899af Seeking Health: www.natalietysdal.com/favorites  Before you go on Camera: https://www.natalietysdal.com/mediatraining Podcast Launch Guide: https://www.natalietysdal.com/mediatrainin Anti Burnout Worksheet: https://marvelous-designer-6863.ck.page/b6d4b2c9d2 Connect with Natalie 🎙 Listen to the Podcast!  https://link.chtbl.com/tdlFA4aN 👉 Connect with Natalie!  Website: https://www.natalietysdal.com  🤓 Read the Blog!  https://www.natalietysdal.com/blog 🎥 Watch the show on video!  https://www.youtube.com/ntysdal 📧 Email me! hello@natalietysdal.com 💥 Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ntysdal/  💥 Follow me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/NatalieTysdal/  💥 Follow me on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@ntysdal 📌 Follow me on Pinterest! https://www.pinterest.com/ntysdal/ 📞Leave me a voicemail (online) https://www.speakpipe.com/msg/s/328568/5/7bxm9ye0bim4xyj0 https://www.youtube.com/c/ntysdal Sign Up for Natalie’s Newsletter:  https://page.natalietysdal.com/newsletter Thank you for helping us grow! https://page.natalietysdal.com/products/thanks   Business Email: hello@natalietysdal.com
