You Saved It. Now Give Yourself Permission to Spend It w/ Jean Chatzky #1199
61% of Americans say they’re more afraid of running out of money than they are of dying… the idea of spending our later years stressed about money is so terrifying that some people would rather face the great unknown than deal with their own financial plan. And yet, far too many people are taking the “I’ll figure it out someday” approach when it comes to retirement. They’re hoping things work out instead of building a plan that gives them confidence and freedom. Our guest today believes retirement doesn’t have to be defined by fear and uncertainty. With the right decisions, we can worry less about money and spend more time enjoying the life we’ve worked so hard to build. Jean Chatzky has spent decades helping people make smarter decisions with their money through her work on the Today show, her AARP columns, her books (the latest of which is titled The Forever Paycheck), and her podcast. Today we discuss what retirement looks like in this modern era, how we can prepare for it without letting fear take over, and we dig into topics like: The retirement crisis and how to address it A 'forever paycheck' and how to create one Role of annuities and other income products in retirement planning Shifting from accumulation to decumulation and behavioral challenges The impact of longevity and market risks on retirement strategies How to balance risk and guarantees in retirement income Psychological aspects of spending and saving in retirement And much more!

Fighting Back Against a Broken Healthcare System w/ Dr. Jordan Grumet
Does anyone look at the U.S. healthcare system and think, "Yep, everything's working great"? Probably not. It's not because we don't have talented doctors or dedicated healthcare workers. It's because a growing web of corporate interests, distorted incentives, and financial middlemen has turned healthcare into one of the most expensive and frustrating systems in the developed world. In his new book, The Healthcare Heist, Dr. Jordan Grumet – who is also a personal finance podcaster, writer, & speaker – exposes how that happened. Medical bills remain a major source of debt and bankruptcy for American families, but Jordan argues that none of this is inevitable. More importantly, he lays out practical solutions to help individuals. Today we discuss: The corporate influence on healthcare Healthcare insurance complexity Intimacy gap in doctor-patient relationship Innovation in the US The role of pharmaceutical companies Medical tourism Alternatives like health sharing Learning from global healthcare models Emotional side of money management And much more!

The Money Convos You Need to Have With Your Parents w/ Beth Pinsker #1193
Financial caregiving is coming for you, whether you like it or not. Rich or poor. Married or single. Famous or anonymous. At some point, someone we love is likely to need us to step in and help care for them. And taking them to a doctor’s appointment is just the tip of the iceberg. Because when someone you love starts to need care, their financial life can very quickly become your financial problem, too. Bills. Bank accounts. Insurance. Investments. Long-term care. Even the question of who gets to make decisions when they can’t make them for themselves. You can put your fingers in your ears and hope you never have to deal with it. Or you can do something that’s much less painful: start preparing before there’s a crisis. We’re joined by Beth Pinsker and her new book, My Mother’s Money, is part memoir and part practical guide to navigating the financial realities of caring for an aging parent. We discuss: The impact of celebrity deaths on estate planning awareness Beth's insights on fighting for proper healthcare and rehab stays Using savings, insurance, and safety nets for long-term care When and how to have tough conversations about aging and finances The importance of community, connection, and proactive planning Practical advice for digital legacy and online account access Lessons learned from caring for her mother that changed her perspective And much more!
