    Celebrating the Legacy of the Minority Money Podcast

    Welcome back to the Minority Money Podcast! I'm your host, Emlen Miles-Mattingly, and it's been an incredible four-year journey. We've reached listeners worldwide, and I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support. 
    Recently, I took the opportunity to revisit our very first episode, and it struck me how much has changed since then. Reflecting on the growth and transformations that have occurred, both personally and professionally, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Throughout the years, we have had the privilege of learning from exceptional guests, including my own wife and daughters, who have contributed their unique insights. I extend a special shout-out to everyone who has played a part in making this podcast a success.
    However, I have an important announcement to make. We will be discontinuing the Minority Money Podcast, but fear not—we're starting a new podcast called Hello Retirement, focused on retirement planning. Thank you for joining us on this ride, and stay tuned for exciting things to come.

    The Difference Between Price and Cost

    The Difference Between Price and Cost

    We often get caught up in the idea of making big purchases without fully considering the costs associated with them.
    In this episode we will explore the difference between price and cost through a conversation with my 15-year-old daughter about buying a car. While my daughter was focused on the price of the car and how to pay for it, I wanted to highlight the additional costs associated with owning a car, such as insurance, maintenance, and the cost of time spent away from other important activities. Understanding the difference between price and cost can also be applied to other significant purchases, such as buying a home. 
    As the summer approaches and people begin to explore new purchases, it is crucial to fully consider the cost of ownership before making any large financial decisions.
    Key Points:
    [01:25] #1 Calculation of cost of owning a car
    [04:27] #2 Illustration of buying a $500,000 home
    [06:15] #3 Importance of accounting for all costs associated with a purchase
    [07:06] #4 Trade-offs when making a financial decision

When is First Generation wealth opening?

I just listened to the latest episode with Valerie Rivera and that interview resonated with me. I’m a 35 year old union Capenter with a pension and I’m realizing I can’t rely on just that for retirement. I have a lot of 60 plus year old co-workers that can’t retire because their pension isn’t where they need it to be. I do not want to end up in that situation. I would like to be a potential client of Valerie’s and will try and contact her via twitter. Thank you both very much for the information. Love the podcast
