Sinking Funds 101: How to Save Smarter with Nerdwallet's Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola
Ever moved money out of your vacation fund to cover a car repair, or dipped into your emergency fund for something that wasn't quite an emergency? That's exactly where sinking funds come in. This week, Jean sits down with Sean Pyles, CFP® and host of NerdWallet's Smart Money Podcast, and his co-host Elizabeth Ayoola to break down the sinking fund strategy: separate, named savings buckets each tied to a specific goal. Plus, Lacy Garcia of Willow is back. She's sharing the five things worth splurging on before the end of 2026, and the trade-offs she makes to afford them. She and Jean also get into when a financial advisor is actually worth the money, and what Willow's version of an advisor looks like for someone who's just trying to get organized.

“Should We Give Up a $350K Lump Sum for a Bigger Guaranteed Pension?”
Jenna joins Jean Chatzky on this week's episode for another AMA conversation, this time digging into a decision that sits right at the heart of Jean's new book, The Forever Paycheck: Is it worth giving up more money on paper for the peace of mind that comes with guaranteed income? In this episode: Why Jenna and her husband are reconsidering the lump sum after years of assuming it was the obvious choice Jean's take on why retirees with pensions tend to spend significantly more than retirees with the equivalent balance sitting in a retirement account How guaranteed income can free up the rest of a portfolio to be invested more aggressively Why Jenna says choosing peace over optimization is exactly how she and her husband got their finances in order in the first place Want a signed copy of The Forever Paycheck?

Ep 544: Is the 4% Rule Dead? Jean Chatzky on Building a Paycheck That Never Runs Out
We've gotten really good at teaching people how to save for retirement. But almost nobody teaches you what to do the day you stop earning and have to start spending. That's the gap Jean set out to close in her new book, The Forever Paycheck: The New Retirement Strategy to Spend More, Worry Less and Never Run Out of Money, and on this episode, HerMoney Chief Content Officer Kathryn Tuggle turns the mic around and interviews Jean about it. In this episode, you'll learn: What a "forever paycheck" actually is, and how it fills the gap between Social Security and what your life will cost The surprising research on why retirees with a pension spend twice as much as those with the same money in a 401(k) How much of her own portfolio Jean is annuitizing, and how she decided on that number The one exercise Jean says is the best way to get comfortable with spending in retirement And if you've already read The Forever Paycheck, leave a review on Amazon and send Jean a screenshot at mailbag@hermoney.com; you'll be entered to win a signed copy.
