The worlds of music and finance often intersect in life.

This intersection can offer a valuable perspective to explore our connection with money, happiness, and the pursuit of our aspirations.

In this episode, Corey Heimensen and Aric Johnson play a game where they relate song lyrics to finances and life as a fun tribute to Aric’s enjoyment of music for his last episode on the podcast.

Additionally, Aric shares about his next venture with Boys Town in Omaha to work with at-risk youth. Corey says goodbye to Aric and welcomes his new producer, Bill Tucker.

Corey and Aric share:

The idea that money can not buy love, but can provide security and joy
The concept of inheritance and the importance of not spending it, but creating a legacy
The lyrics of the song “Working for the Weekend” by Loverboy and the concept of living paycheck to paycheck
The lyrics of the song “Billionaire” by Bruno Mars and Travie McCoy, focusing on the concept of having material wealth and the importance of having a realistic plan
The complications and challenges that come with accumulating wealth
The importance of setting goals and saving a portion of your pay to reach those goals
And more!

Corey discusses:

Staying on track when saving for retirement and other financial objectives by drawing a parallel with an airline pilot navigating the turbulence
The different categories of people he encountered and how they try to control situations
The human nature of wanting to control everything, and how this can be counterproductive, especially in situations where there is a lack of understanding
