Ep 529: Lessons from a Legend: What Jonathan Clements Taught Us About Money and Life
There are people who change the way you think about money. And then there are people who change the way you think about life, and do it through the lens of money. Jonathan Clements was one of those people. The beloved personal finance columnist and Wall Street Journal veteran passed away in September 2025, leaving behind a remarkable legacy and one final book: Money and Me: How to Make Your Finances Work Harder for You and Your Family. This week, Jean sits down with Jason Zweig, Jonathan's dear friend and fellow Wall Street Journal columnist, to honor that legacy and dig into the lessons Jonathan left behind for all of us. They cover: The investing philosophy he championed for nearly 40 years, and why it's still the best advice out there The three dimensions of money and happiness: freedom from worry, spending on experiences, and using money to create meaning Why the shift from saving to spending in retirement is one of the hardest psychological transitions we face, and how to make it easier Jonathan's take on how much money to leave your kids Why spending small is actually the smartest spending strategy of all And if today's conversation got you thinking about your own relationship with money, Jean's new book, The Forever Paycheck, is the perfect next read.

"I'm 56 with $3M saved. My husband says we can't afford for me to retire early. Is he right?"
This week, Jean sits down with Louise, 56, a high-tech executive who's burned out, stretched thin, and seriously asking herself whether it's time to walk away from her career. Louise has done everything right: she and her husband have $3.2M in retirement accounts, over $400k in vested stock, a home worth almost $2 million, and 529s for the kids. But with a family of six to cover, and healthcare costs that could rival a mortgage, the math is murkier than it looks. Jean helps her think through what early retirement would actually cost, where the real risks are, and what she needs to figure out before she makes any moves. In this episode: The Rule of 55 — what it is, how it works, and whether it's the right move Why the 4% rule may not be enough when you're only 56 Healthcare on the open market: what it really costs for a family of six post-subsidy How unvested stock grants could completely change Louise's retirement picture Why your home equity belongs in your net worth calculation The case for finding a middle path between burnout and full retirement What to ask a financial advisor before making any early retirement decisions Never miss a money moment — sign up for the free HerMoney newsletter.
