Your Next Dollar: Money Management for High Earners: Daily Summaries Delivered

NerdWallet Wealth Partners’ Your Next Dollar podcast helps high earners learn how to build wealth while still spending on what they value most. At this stage, you can afford anything, but not everything. When is it okay to splurge on your dream vacation or luxury gym? And how do you grow your wealth while doing it? Host Andrew Giancola digs into the decisions that come with a growing income: equity compensation, investing, housing, benefits, taxes, and every big life moment in between. Whether your top priority is family, financial freedom, health, or the experiences that make life worth living, this video podcast helps you think through where your next dollar should go.
