How Financial Resilience Protects People from Scams

Send us Fan MailIn financial services, three voices dominate the conversation: regulators, institutions, and technology.Julia Chin believes there’s a fourth voice we need to hear more clearly: the human voice trying to make sense of it all. On this episode of Get Ready Before Life Happens, I spoke with Julia Chin, financial crime fighter and founder of JFourth Solutions why financial crime prevention must start with human understanding, how financial resilience protects families from scams, and why financial literacy is one of the most powerful tools for navigating today’s financial systems.Key Takeaways🔹 Financial systems often focus on rules, products, and technology while overlooking the human perspective. 🔹 The PULSE framework emphasizes people, undertaking, leadership, structure and ecosystem to protect people, not just tick boxes. 🔹 Financial resilience starts with buffers like emergency savings. 🔹 Scams target vulnerability and can affect anyone. 🔹 Financial knowledge helps people recognize risks and push back when something feels wrong. 🔹 Financial inclusion and dignity help reduce exposure to financial crime. 🔹 Curiosity, caution, compassion, and creativity help people navigate an AI-driven financial world.💭 Tony’s Take: Financial systems work best when they protect people. When we build resilience, stay curious, and understand the risks around us, we strengthen our ability to navigate an increasingly complex financial world. Financial resilience is about protecting ourselves and the people we care about.Connect with Julia Chin:JFourth Solutions Website: https://www.jfourthsolutions.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pekyee-julia-chin/Tripwire Newsletter (Substack): https://thetripwire.substack.com/The Fourth Perspective (LinkedIn Newsletter): https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7421859851661877248/Referenced:Dignity and Financial Literacy on The Get Ready Money Podcast with Peter Kwadwo Asare Nyarko (YouTube)Bio: Julia Chin has spent 36 years fighting financial crime , not with a badge, but with knowledge. From audit rooms to boardrooms, she's seen how financial systems can both protect and exclude the people they're meant to serve — and how financial criminals exploit that gap. Today, through JFourth Solutions, her newsletter Tripwire (co-authored with her partner in crime, Ren Chang), and The Fourth Perspective on LinkedIn, Julia champions financial literacy as protection, helping individuals and professionals ask the right questions, spot the red flags, and build the kind of resilience that survives life's shocks. Her belief: everyone has a role to play in making our financial world safer - no badge required.This episode is a collaboration with The Money Awareness and Inclusion Awards (the MAIAs) which celebrate the increasingly important work being done to help people understand money better.

More meaningful legacies and greater social capital often result. Immense pressure is alleviated from the courts, and cumulatively, the economy benefits. It's a massive win for everyone.Greg is on a mission to inspire others to speak with their loved ones about their end-of-life wishes while minds are clear & time is plentiful.

Your Health Is Your Greatest Asset

Send us Fan MailAre you trading your health for money? On this episode, I speak with Stevyn Guinnip, author of Grow Wellthy, about the idea of “health net worth,” the compounding effect of daily habits, and why retirement planning should focus on health span, not just life span. Key Takeaways:🔹 Your health is an asset that directly impacts your financial life.🔹 Retirement planning should consider health span, not just life span.🔹 Small health habits compound just like financial investments.🔹 Identifying health assets and liabilities helps reduce long-term risk.🔹 The four-step hierarchy of health includes mindset, mend, meals, and movement.🔹 Protecting your energy is as important as protecting your money.🔹 You cannot separate health and wealth, they influence each other over time.Tony’s Take: If we treat health as an asset and invest in it early, we give our future selves more options, more energy, and fewer regrets.Connect with Stevyn Guinnip:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevyn-guinnip/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/growwellthy/Email: info@growwellthy.com Grow Wellthy Website: www.growwellthy.comBooks: Grow Wellthy: The Financial Advisor's 4-Step Plan to Protect Your Health Like an Asset (Amazon: https://amzn.to/4pKP8Ft)(ebook: https://growwellthybook.com)Bio: Stevyn Guinnip, MS, is an author, health coach, and international speaker dedicated to helping financial advisors and their clients live well longer.

The Hidden Psychology Behind Your Money Decisions

Send us Fan MailAre you making financial decisions consciously, or being nudged by forces you do not see?On this episode, I speak with Ceres Chua, Money Psychologist and Financial Coach about the hidden psychology shaping our financial decisions. We explore how unconscious biases, money scripts, and marketing language influence the way we think about spending, saving, and sufficiency. Key Takeaways🔹 Much of our financial decision-making happens at a subconscious level.🔹 Marketing language often leverages unconscious biases to influence spending.🔹 Anchoring bias causes us to rely heavily on the first number we see.🔹 Understanding your money script helps you recognize how you think about money.🔹 Before making a decision, ask whether emotion or outside influence is driving it.🔹 A sufficiency mindset focuses on defining what is enough rather than chasing more.🔹 Reflecting on your beliefs about money strengthens clarity, peace, and intention.Tony’s Take: When we understand how our mindset, biases, and marketing influence shape our decisions, we gain the clarity to choose intentionally and define what “enough” truly means for us.Connect with Ceres Chua:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cereschua/The Money Mindset Lab Website & Mind Over Money Newsletter: https://www.themoneymindsetlab.comResources mentioned:The Soul of Money: Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Life Reprint Edition by Lynne Twist (Amazon)Bio: I became obsessed with personal finance when I realized $14K a year in graduate school had to stretch far beyond what it was designed to do. I was trying to crack the code of living well on very little. That experience sparked a lifelong interest in the psychology of money and how our habits, emotions, and past experiences shape the way we make financial decisions.After 20 years in corporate, I took all those lessons—both professional and painfully personal—and was pulled toward the work behind the spreadsheets: helping women feel capable and calm about money. Along the way, it became crystal clear who I’m meant to serve: women who are thinking about starting a business or are in the messy early stages of building one—before things feel stable or predictable. Entrepreneurship is hard enough. It gets even harder when your finances feel confusing, reactive, or out of control.Now, I am building a DIY personal finance community for women solopreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs. Inside, we focus on the real money questions that show up when you work for yourself—how much you actually need saved before you start, how to manage uneven cash flow and taxes, and how to plan for retirement when your income isn’t predictable. The goal is to create a community of women with confidence, clarity, and a calmer relationship with money—so money stops being a source of stress and starts to become a tool they know how to use to grow their business.☕ Support the Get Ready Movement.If these conversations help you think differently about money or prepare for life’s what-ifs, your support helps expand financial readiness education and keep this work accessible.👉 Support (here)Support the showThe Get Ready Money Podcast and its guests do not provide investment advice.

What to Do When You Suspect Financial Abuse

Send us Fan MailWhen control shapes financial decisions, listening becomes the most important tool we have.In Part 2, I spoke with Joy Slabaugh, CFP, about how advisors and advocates can thoughtfully respond when they suspect a power imbalance is shaping financial decisions.🔹 Financial abuse is controlling someone’s ability to acquire, use, or maintain economic resources. 🔹 Advisors should be curious and let clients describe their experience in their own words. 🔹 Focus on agency and access rather than labeling abuse directly. 🔹 Never explore sensitive concerns in front of a potentially controlling partner. 🔹 Separate meetings can safely surface power imbalances. 🔹 Move at the client’s timing and give options rather than directives. 🔹 Familiarize yourself with local resources so you can anchor support when needed. Tony’s Take: When we listen first and protect agency, we create a safe space where clients can find clarity and options on their own timing.Connect withJoy Slabaugh, CFP®:Website: https://joyslabaugh.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joyslabaugh/Bio: Joy Slabaugh is a Certified Financial Planner™ professional, licensed therapist, and educator specializing in the psychological and relational dynamics of wealth.

How Financial Abuse Begins and Why It’s Often Missed

Send us Fan MailFinancial abuse often begins quietly, with small patterns of control that slowly reshape someone’s financial agency.In part one of this two-part episode, Joy Slabaugh, CFP® and I explore what financial abuse is, how it shows up in relationships, and what advisors and families should be listening for.Key Takeaways🔹 Financial abuse is about control, using money to limit another person’s autonomy.🔹 It often begins subtly and develops gradually over time.🔹 Many abusive relationships involve multiple forms of abuse simultaneously.🔹 Advisors should look for patterns, language, and imbalance in shared decision-making.🔹 In couples, listen for shared ownership and whether both voices are heard.🔹 It exists on a spectrum, from account restriction to hidden assets and coercion.🔹 Intergenerational financial control can carry harmful “strings”.🔹 Financial abuse can exist at any income level and in any type of relationship.📊 By the Numbers1 in 5 men and 1 in 7 women experience financial abuse in their lifetime.14% report currently experiencing financial abuse.Tony’s Take: Financial readiness includes recognizing coercion, imbalance, and control in money relationships.

AI Will Accelerate the Shift from Advisor to Coach

Send us Fan MailAI is moving fast. The real question isn’t whether it will replace jobs. It’s which skills will still matter.In this episode, Chris Heye and I explore how AI may reshape financial planning, why communication and coaching are rising in importance, and what advisors must develop to stay relevant in the next 3–5 years.🔑 Key Takeaways🔹Most technologies create more jobs than they destroy, but AI’s speed makes this moment different.🔹AI may not replace advisors, but it can replace technical skills and levels of expertise.🔹Research from David Autor suggests technology reshapes tasks, not entire professions.🔹The future of advising leans toward the consigliere model: guide, coach, communicator.🔹Clients value help during life transitions, health events, and uncertainty more than technical reports.🔹Low client satisfaction is a warning sign the industry cannot ignore.🔹Advisors have a choice: use AI to augment their expertise or risk being replaced by it.Tony’s Take: AI can democratize access to financial tools and knowledge. The differentiator becomes human judgment, empathy, curiosity, and relationship.Develop the skills AI cannot replicate.
