Becoming – Higher Fees for Good Credit | New Fed Rules Means Higher Mortgage Fees for Good Credit

In this episode of Becoming with Angelina Watkins, reviews the Biden Administration proposal to raise the cost of mortgage fees for homebuyers with good credit.

As of May 1st, the Biden Administration has enacted a law that impacts the Loan-Level Price Adjustment. This new rule raises the cost of mortgage fees for homebuyers who have good credit and put down a sizeable down payment. Homebuyers with less than stellar credit and a small down payment will see their mortgage fees go down.

This change comes as an effort to make homes more affordable, but there is two things wrong with this solution.
1) Homebuyers with a good credit score is being punished with those with a low credit score is being rewarded, and
2) Homes are still unaffordable because of the already high interest rates

Becoming – Don Lemon Says He Is Stunned Amid Being Ousted by CNN | 5 Red Flags Your Employer Wants to Fire You

In this episode of Becoming with Angelina Watkins, she discusses job loss and how to prepare for being let go from your job.

Monday, April 24th, it was announced that Don Lemon was being let go from CNN. This is directly after it was announced that Tucker Carlson was let go from FOX News. Don Lemon says he was stunned. But why was he shocked? Did he not see the signs? Perhaps, he should take a look at his behavior and ask himself, did I bring this on myself. He may have gotten too comfortable thinking he was untouchable.

But many of us think we are untouchable and we wait to be fired when the red flags of losing your job is there. And instead of preparing for job loss, we put all our hopes dreams, and loyalty into our employer instead of God.

The days of longevity on jobs is gone. The baby boomers were able to get jobs and stay there for 30-40 years. That is not always the case this day in time. So you must prepare for financial ruin in case of job loss.

There are 5 signs your employer may want to fire you. Take note of the 5 red flags and plan accordingly.

Becoming – 4 Ways to Pay Off Emergency Debt with no Emergency Fund

In this episode of Becoming with Angelina Watkins, she goes over 4 ways to cover a $1,000 emergency when you have no emergency fund.

Fifty-seven percent of American households cannot cover a $1,000 emergency. It is not due to inflation or rising interest rates because people were struggling to cover small emergencies before the pandemic and before prices began to rise. So why are they unable to cover small emergencies, let along big emergencies?

One answer, their spending. Seventy-five percent of households are living paycheck to paycheck. People making six-figures are living paycheck to paycheck. So it is not that they aren’t making money, but they are not controlling their spending. They are spending and not saving. You have to be willing to sacrifice some things temporarily for a long-term gain.

So how do you cover an emergency when you don’t have any emergency funds? Listen in as Angelina goes over 4 ways to cover emergency debt when you don’ have any money.

Becoming – Why Did Silicon Valley Bank Collapse and What Does It Mean to the Economy

In this episode of Becoming with Angelina Watkins, she discusses why Silicon Valley Bank collapsed and what does it mean to the economy.

Silicon Valley Bank was a regional bank and the 16th largest bank in the company. At the beginning of March, 2023 the bank collapsed due to 2 reasons: 1) Diversification of its customer type and investments, and 2) bank run.

Silicon Valley Bank specialized in financing and banking for mostly technology companies. The tech sector has been experiencing a decline and have been having mass layoffs. That means less revenue to cover expenses and larger withdrawals to meet payroll and pay bills. They also made bad investment choices by investing in long-term US Treasury bonds that tied up the money and made them unable to cover deposits.

Does the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank signal a plummeting economy? What does this mean for the economy and the consumer? Watch to find out what you need to know and what this all means for you.

Becoming – Why a Wife Needs Insurance on Her Husband | Financial Infidelity | II Kings 4

In the biblical story of the widow woman and the oil found in II Kings 4 the widow woman’s husband died and left her in debt.

Becoming Unbothered – Matthew 10 Why We Should Dust Our Shoulders Off

In this episode of Becoming with Angelina Watkins, she talks about her journey of becoming unbothered by the things people say and do that hinder you. Being unbothered is something that is so easy to say, but not so easy to master. However, it is something God wants us to be. He doesn’t want us to be down and held back by those who reject us, mistreat us, and speak ill against us.

In Matthew 10:11-14, Jesus gave the disciples instructions that when they go out, if they are not worthy of you and do not receive you, then leave and shake the dust off your feet. First off, we must know that everyone is not going to like us and accept us, that is a given. In knowing that, we have to be able to bounce back from rejection quickly and not let it hinder the assignment God has on our life.

Becoming – 5 Questions to Ask Before You Invest

In this episode of Becoming with Angelina Watkins, reviews the five questions you should ask yourself before you invest.

American Greed featured a story on Lashonda and Marlon Moore who were sued back in 2021 for the pyramid scheme/scam known as the Blessing Loom.

The Moores were running their own Blessing Loom and had received millions. However, many of the trusting people starting demanding their money and the Moores could not pay them back.

Angelina had warned of this scam on her podcast back in 2020 that this was illegal and to not get involved. So how do you avoid losing your money to scams like the Blessing Loom? Angelina goes over the five questions you should ask yourself before investing.

In this episode of Becoming with Angelina Watkins, she highlights Chad Johnson’s money habits that has allowed him to keep 83% of his wealth from the NFL.

Chad Johnson is a former NFL player who spent 10 years of his 11 seasons playing for the Cincinnati Bengals. In an interview on the Club Shay Shay podcast, Chad sat down with Shannon Sharpe and talked about wealth. He shared that he has been able to keep 83% of his wealth by being fiscally responsible and educating himself on how money works.

Chad Johnson made millions from playing in the NFL and endorsement deals. However, it may come a surprise to many to hear that he still has much of what he made in a time when we hear about so many athletes that go broke many years after they retire from the game. So how has Chad Johnson been able to keep his millions and live a comfortable life after retirement? By controlling his spending.

In the interview, Chad talks about how his first year in the NFL he didn’t splurge; he didn’t even buy or lease a house. He stayed at the stadium because it had all the amenities he needed including shower, cafeteria, TV and gaming systems. Why go spend money you don’t have to spend? He wore fake jewelry from Claires, doesn’t eat at five start restaurants, and flew Spirit instead of a private jet. He even talked about working a short time for Morgan Stanley to learn about investing. But building and keeping wealth doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the life that wealth brings.

After many years of being fiscally responsible, there are times he splurges on the family, buys the lady in his life real jewelry, buy the children designer clothes, and leaves hefty tips at the restaurant. Why? Because he can. Build the wealth, keep the wealth, and let the wealth pay for your lifestyle.

Many people face conflict in the workplace where there is someone, whether management or a coworker, that make your place of employment not so pleasant. Sometimes personalities just don’t mesh.

Many leaders lack executive presence and effective communication when managing people. They think their title gives them the right to degrade, demean, dismiss, and insult those who work for them. They lack the emotional intelligence to not only manage their emotions but manage the emotions of others. They lack the maturity needed to effective lead their teams to success.

Becoming – 6 Steps to Successfully Start Over in 2023 | The Power of Starting Over

In this episode of Becoming with Angelina Watkins, she talks about the power of starting over. When presented with opportunities that can better their life and their future, some jump on it and others hesitate. Why do some hesitate if this can make your life better?

When pondering that question, Angelina realized it is not about lack of confidence or fear, but at the root of not wanting to start over is disappointment. When you have been disappointed over and over again and have not learned how to deal with disappointment, it festers into giving up. We don’t want to start over because we don’t want to go through the process to only be let down again. Trying doesn’t seem worth it.

Starting over can be a good thing especially if you are headed down the wrong path. In this episode, Angelina goes through the 6 steps to starting over and setting yourself on the path to success in love, life, and money.

Becoming – Why Deion Sanders Left Jackson State | Dr. Umar Johnson Talks Deion Sanders Leaving the HBCU

In this episode of Becoming with Angelina Watkins, she highlights the interview with Dr. Umar Johnson on the Breakfast Club and his opinion on Deion Sanders leaving Jackson State to coach at the University of Colorado.

Dr. Umar Johnson was very clear and passionate about his thoughts on Deion Sanders leaving Jackson State. In his opinion, Deion abused, used and exploited the HBCU for his own selfish wants. Deion Sanders had an opportunity to start a movement that could revive and save many of the HBCUs that are struggling to stay open due to funding.

It is no question that Deion Sanders made a difference at Jackson State. He help the football team achieve and accomplish what they have never in history been able to accomplish. He opened the door for Jackson State to be a desirable collage for football recruits. He guided the school to an undefeated season for the 1st time in history. They won back-to-back Southwestern Athletic Conference championships. But was there more for him to do for the HBCUs collectively?

As Dr. Umar Johnson points out, Deion Sanders could have started a movement that would draw other NFL greats to coach and other celebrities to pull their financial resources together to create a funding source for the HBCUs to thrive. Deion Sanders leaving Jackson State was selfish and he sold out for money.

Was it Deion Sanders duty to be the catalyst and spearhead a movement to save the HBCUs? Or was the HBCU a stepping stone for a much bigger plan that God is leading him to?

Listen and them comment below your thoughts? Was he wrong for leaving Jackson State to pursue his dreams?

Becoming – Senseless death of Shanquella Robinson | Discernment in giving | Focusing on your destination

In this episode of Becoming with Angelina Watkins, she talks about the the senseless death of Shanquella Robinson and how friendships are not always reciprocating. Rumors are flying about how much money she had and how she paid for the trip, and if true, Shanquella Robinson was too generous to savages.

No one owes us anything, but there is a level expectation in friendships and relationships that there should be reciprocity. We should both be giving to each other; friendships can’t be one-sided. Now while you both may be doing for each other; it may not be equal. So we have to know that how we give to our friends my not be given back exactly, but there has to be some form of reciprocity. If not, then you should reevaluate the friendship.

Make sure you are sowing in good ground. Everyone is not deserving of your money, time, and resources. People are users and will use you up and disappear. So be careful because generous people have a tendency to always look for the good in others when there is no good. Use discernment in your giving so you don’t get used up.
