How many times have you heard someone recite sentiments along these lines “It’ll be my kids’ problem by then”… implying that they will be dead and their kids will have to deal with the problem instead.
The lack of responsibility is shocking, and the results of this thinking are disastrous. We are all susceptible to this type of thinking.
Even Hezekiah one of the best kings of Israel was caught in this way of thinking. Although there was peace in Hezekiah’s day, the Israelites eventually became enslaved to the Babylonians.
Today on Wealth Talks, Tom and John discuss how to avoid this type of thinking, and how to leave a real and lasting legacy.

Ice cream containers are shrinking - again. It used to be common for ice cream to be sold in a half gallon cartons. Some years ago, cartons shrunk to 1.75 quarts and just recently many ice cream cartons shrank again to only 1.5 quarts.
Prices, however, did not shrink accordingly. Most prices stayed the same. This latest change is the equivalent of a 16.667% price increase.
Some people may blame the creamery, the carton manufacturer or even the grocery store for the increase in price. But the real blame lies elsewhere.
Today on WealthTalks, Tom and John talk about why ice cream containers are shrinking, and what we can do to keep our savings from shrinking as well.

Gino Bartali was an Italian cyclist. Winning the Giro d'Italia in 1936 and 1937 and the prestigious Tour de France in 1938, Gino went on to win two more titles after the War, the Giro d’Italia in 1946 and the Tour de France in 1948.
But it wasn’t for any of these races that Gino became a hero, it was for his work in the Underground.
Under the guise of training, Gino carried papers all across Italy. These papers, meant to save the lives of Jews, would have meant death for Gino if they had been discovered. Gino was a true hero.
We have delivered seventeen death benefits to the families of true heroes. It doesn’t matter their profession, affluence, or education, those who have a plan to provide for those they leave behind are true heroes.
