Smart Start Money provides information on making smart money decisions. Providing tips, personal experiences, and opinions on saving smart and spending smart. Times have changed since getting a job and keeping the same place of employment for a lifetime. The average time spent with one employer is now three to five years. Companies are replacing workers with lean staff that previously held more people to accomplish the same tasks. This has resulted in periods of unemployment for many people making it challenging to save for retirement and stay debt-free. The rising costs of healthcare, consumer goods, and wages that often do not seem to keep pace with the cost of daily life make it more important than ever to make smart financial decisions. Millions of people struggle each day to get ahead. The intention of Smart Start Money is to not only provide insight into saving or spending but also open conversations. Discussions relating to the economy, employment, and even the occasional forbidden topic of politics are possible. If the subject matter has a correlation to helping people with their finances or questioning the so-called experts, it is open for dialogue. It has never been more important than ever to save and stay out of debt. No one has all the answers when it comes to personal finance. People come from all different backgrounds in life. The choices we make and the opportunities available are never identical. We can all learn from each other.

I hear it all the time. Having an auto loan is normal and just part of life. America loves its automobiles and nothing is wrong with this. We like the freedom it provides to travel and get to the place we want to go when we want to get there.
New cars have become more expensive over the years. As a result, banks have started to increase the available loan periods for them. This is leaving an increasing number of people locked into the debt of payments on an automobile. It holds them back from living free of debt, saving for retirement, and building wealth. Having an auto loan can limit your financial goals.
This episode looks at why financing a vehicle is a bad financial decision and how to shop for a good reliable used car.
