This is very close to my heart, losing two parents to cancer.

June 4 2009 Pulse Show w Michele Paiva

We touched on topics that include discussion on what is happening in the news; and a little debate here and there…. however, Debt Management was the topic of the day thanks to professional CPA, Joe Pancerella, and managing partner of Pancerella and Associates (http://www.pancerellacpa.com).
Some of the highlights that Pancerella helped unravel for callers and listeners were budgeting, “It’s not what you earn, it’s what you spend”, and steps to establish a budget.
He went on to outline how it is crucial to define goals, identify income and expenses, evaluate your budget and monitor on a regular basis all of the above.
Some tips he shared included:
1. Involve the entire family
2. Stay disciplined
3. Start when easy to follow
4. Consider software
5. Build rewards (dining out every other week, etc)
6. Avoid credit cards
7. Education vs Retirement
He also wanted to stress new credit card regulations such as limited interest rates and reasonable time to pay.

One highlight that helped “spread the wealth” both financially and motivationally, is his company sponsored tickets to the Reading Phillies Games upcoming in July!

A few callers won tickets and those who were not local donated.

We had a call from local resident, Brighid DeGaray, who will be using her won tickets courtesy of Pancerella and Associates as part of a fundraiser in the 2009 Susan G. Komen Philadelphia Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk. Our Team, the BraveHart’s was started by Gretchen Flack to honor a co-worker and wonderful friend: Leann Hart, with the BraveHart name a play on Leann’s name and the word “heart”.

“Leann was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in August of 2007. Since then, she has undergone a double mastectomy, 4 months of chemotherapy, and 38 radiation treatments to beat this disease. By the time the 2009 Philly walk rolls around, she should also be finished with her reconstruction surgeries. Seeing what she had to endure put a drive and determination in me to do all I can to make sure another friend, family member or even myself does not have to battle breast cancer,” said DeGaray.

The BraveHarts will be hosting a fundraiser on June 20th at 5 PM until 11 PM at the Chester County Chamber of Business and Industry, in Malvern PA.
Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for Seniors and children under 12 are free.
Ticket includes dinner provided by Chick-Fil-A, Q’doba & Cupcakes Gourmet! BYOB! the Silent Auction and an outdoor concert by Nate Graham. Graham has opened for Bon Jovi and is a talented musician in his own right!
Some of the silent auction items are:
Large handmade Amish quilt & quilt rack
Oriental rug
Mountain Bike
Phillies tickets
Reading Phillies Tickets
Autographed Flyers stick & puck
Free night’s stay at the General Warren’s Inne
Over 20 different gift baskets
Tons of door prizes!

The Breast Cancer 3-Day is a 60-mile walk over the course of three days. The net proceeds will support breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment through Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund.

In whole, the show drew callers who spoke of the spirituality of “desire” and money, and being happy with what we have, to helping those who have not. It wasn’t just about budgeting but about living and living in peace, and helping people overcome hardship, be it financial or health.

Joseph Pancerella is available to consult, so please visit his site, and get to know this generous office; and please get involved with Brighid and the BraveHarts in their quest to help and do their part, for a national and international cause.

Oddly, we had one guest not be able to make it in the studio and one was not able to call in, but in whole, it all worked out and was “meant to be” as we were able to tie the entire show in with incredible purpose.

Thank you all for taking the time to listen and interact on facebook (we had facebook up on my page), through calls and numerous emails.

Next week: Celebs include Comcast’s Lynn Doyle and New York Housewives Bethenny Frankel, who is also a top selling author of “Naturally Thin” and owner of “Bethenny Bakes”, in addition to other fantastic guests.
