Arizona Water, $40 Trillion Debt & Preparing for What’s Next

J.R. Rotchford & Anthony Carrao — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 23:33:55 +0000

This week on Another Money Show, J.R. and Anthony welcome back water expert Mark Burr for another wide-ranging conversation about one of Arizona’s biggest long-term concerns – water!

Mark challenges the conventional narrative surrounding water scarcity in Arizona and discusses claims that the state may have significantly more groundwater beneath its surface than many people realize. The conversation explores Arizona’s reliance on Colorado River water, groundwater resources, state and federal lands, existing water infrastructure, potential changes to water policy and why Mark believes Arizonans should be asking more questions about the state’s long-term water strategy.

J.R. and Anthony also continue the show's Desert Storm trading card hunt. Saddam Hussein remains elusive, but this week's pack produces General Norman Schwarzkopf — and, somehow, another George H.W. Bush.

Then the conversation turns to another historic milestone: the U.S. national debt crossing $40 trillion. J.R. and Anthony compare today's debt with roughly $21.3 trillion in 2018 and $5.5 trillion in 1998, discuss debt relative to the size of the U.S. economy and debate a simple but important question: At what point does the growing national debt start to matter?

The discussion expands into government spending, interest rates, the financial system, artificial intelligence, geopolitical uncertainty and other changes J.R. believes could have significant consequences in the years ahead.

With so many large and complicated issues competing for attention, the show closes with a more practical message: don't simply get scared and do nothing. Ask questions, prepare where you can and take manageable steps to protect your financial future.

Safeguarding Your Savings & George Bush Joins the Show!

This week on Another Money Show, J.R. and Anthony’s discussions cover another wide-ranging mix including current events, financial planning, listener feedback, and a long-awaited breakthrough in the show's ongoing Desert Storm trading card hunt.

Then, the moment J.R. has been waiting for finally arrives: George H.W. Bush emerges from a pack of Desert Storm trading cards. With one of the most coveted cards finally found, the hunt for Saddam Hussein continues!

Later, J.R. and Anthony turn the conversation toward your financial future. They discuss why access to more information doesn't necessarily replace the value of good financial advice and they explore different ways people can safeguard their hard-earned savings for retirement. The discussion covers protecting principal, creating reliable lifetime income, balancing growth potential with protection, and why the right financial strategy depends on each person's individual circumstances and goals.

Throughout the show, the team emphasizes being proactive rather than reactive — whether you're thinking about changes in the world around you or making decisions about the money you've worked a lifetime to accumulate.

Happy "America Saves Week!"

Guest: Shikha Narula, Head of Consumer Deposit Products at Bank of America

Key Takeaways from the Interview

Saving remains a priority—but it’s challenging:

~72% say inflation and cost of living are impacting finances
Automation is one of the easiest wins:
Tools like debit round-ups (e.g., “Keep the Change”)
Recurring automatic transfers to “pay yourself first”
Balance saving with lifestyle (don’t eliminate joy spending):
Cut back—not cut out—small treats
Identify “joy spending” categories and prioritize intentionally
Use the 50/30/20 framework:
50% needs
30% wants
20% savings
Make big goals more achievable:
Break savings goals into smaller milestones
Set deadlines and celebrate progress
Use separate accounts for specific goals (reduces temptation)
Free up extra cash with small adjustments:
Review subscriptions
Reduce unnecessary spending (rideshare, etc.)
Small changes can compound over time

Podcast Extra: Financial Literacy Month

J.R. Rotchford & Anthony Carrao — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 20:23:43 +0000

April is National Financial Literacy Month. It started back in the early 2000s when Congress realized too many Americans were leaving school without the first clue about how to manage a paycheck, a credit card, or a financial future.

Key Points Covered:

Review one monthly bill and see if you can cut, renegotiate, or cancel it
Set one small savings goal — even twenty bucks a paycheck counts
Learn just one new money concept — like how compound interest works for you instead of against you
Sit down with your partner or your kids and have one honest conversation about money. No judgment, Just real talk
