Ep 538: The Four-Day Workweek Is Real – So Why Don’t We Have It Yet?
Every few weeks, another tech titan promises to hand us our time back. Jamie Dimon says a shorter workweek is coming. Elon Musk says AI will make work optional. Bill Gates is predicting two-day workweeks. Sounds amazing, except we don't actually need AI to get there. The research proving a shorter workweek works has been sitting in front of us for over a decade. This week, bestselling author and veteran journalist Joanne Lipman joins Jean Chatzky to unpack the gap between what these executives are promising in public and what they're actually demanding from their employees in private. In this episode, Jean and Joanne cover: Why the same executives predicting an AI-powered leisure future are also the most insistent on five-day, in-office weeks What over a decade of four-day workweek research shows about productivity, revenue, and burnout Why new technology almost never reduces our workload Preorder Jean's new book: The Forever Paycheck is your guide to building a secure, steady income stream in retirement.

Four Women Get Brutally Honest About Retirement Planning, Financial Peace, and the Money We Leave Behind
Do you have enough? And how do you even know? In the third and final episode of HerMoney's series with AARP, From First Paycheck to Forever Paycheck, Jean Chatzky and her roundtable tackle the biggest question in personal finance — what does financial security actually feel like, and how do you build something that doesn't just sustain you, but actually gives you peace? Hannah Williams sold her business and walked away with a life-changing payout, and has never been more stressed. Viviana Vazquez recently hit $100,000 in investments and says she already feels like she has enough. Ashley Parker thinks about what would happen if she suddenly had to make it on her own, and making sure she always could. And Carly Roszkowski shares the AARP data that keeps her up at night: 65% of women 50 and older don't feel confident about retirement, and nearly half of those still working have less than $50,000 saved. Jean also introduces a concept that changes everything: decumulation. This is the third and final episode of From First Paycheck to Forever Paycheck, a three-part series in collaboration with AARP exploring women's financial lives across generations, from your first job to retirement and the legacy you leave behind. If you haven't listened to episodes one and two yet, go back and start there; this conversation builds on everything we've covered. Jean Chatzky's new book, The Forever Paycheck: The New Retirement Strategy to Spend More, Worry Less, and Never Run Out of Money, is available for pre-order now and publishes September 8, 2026. Whether you're looking to save money, manage debt, or prepare for retirement, AARP has resources and tools to help you prepare for your financial future to reach your goals.

Ep 537: Why Your Medical Bills Are Bankrupting You and What You Can Do About It Today
Your doctor isn't the enemy. So why does it feel like you're fighting them, and losing? This week, Jean Chatzky sits down with Dr. Jordan Grumet to talk about his explosive new book The Healthcare Heist: How Physicians and Patients Can Unite to Transform Healthcare. As a hospice physician who spent over two decades watching families drown in paperwork and impossible bills, Jordan has a clear-eyed diagnosis of what's actually wrong with American healthcare. Then, Lacy Garcia, founder and CEO of Willow, joins Jean to tackle the financial decisions women put off the longest…updating your estate plan, moving money out of savings and into investments, and protecting yourself financially no matter what life throws at you. If today's conversation left you wanting more Doc G, you're in luck. Jordan has been on HerMoney twice before, once to talk about how to find your purpose, and once to dig into the money regrets people share at the end of their lives. Jean's new book, The Forever Paycheck, is your guide to building a secure, steady income stream in retirement. Find a vetted fiduciary advisor at hermoney.com/findanadvisor.

The House of Cards: What Happens to Your Money When Life Blows Up the Plan
Did your life turn out exactly the way you planned it? Nobody says yes. Not one person. In the second episode of HerMoney's three-part series with AARP, From First Paycheck to Forever Paycheck, Jean Chatzky gets personal, sharing that at 40, she was fired, got divorced, and lost her father all in the same year. And the women around the table don't hold back either. Ashley Parker reveals she was in the bottom 5% of earners on The New York Times politics team, and nearly doubled her salary the moment she left. Hannah Williams shares the terrifying moment her veteran husband had a dental emergency with no insurance and no options. Viviana Vazquez opens up about being the financial safety net for her entire family, including a $10,000 out-of-pocket dental bill for her mom. And Carly Roszkowski talks about her husband's mid-life career pivot, and what it really means to become the breadwinner. Together, they tackle the financial trade-offs that millions of women face every day — stepping back from work, carrying the mental load, navigating the sandwich generation, and trying to build a safety net when life keeps pulling the floor out from under you. This is episode two of From First Paycheck to Forever Paycheck, a three-part series in collaboration with AARP exploring women's financial lives across generations, from your first job to retirement and the legacy you leave behind.

In her book, I Am Not a Robot: My Year Using AI to Do (Almost) Everything, award-winning journalist Joanna Stern chronicles her yearlong experiment integrating AI into every aspect of her day-to-day, from healthcare and money management to household chores and, yes, even an AI-powered massage therapist.
