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!

The Financial Case for Moving Abroad w/ Richelle Gamlam #1190
Spain. Vietnam. Tanzania. Georgia… the one in Europe of course. Ever catch yourself daydreaming about building a life somewhere far beyond the borders of the US? There’s a lot to love about living here. But for many, the pull to see more of the world never really goes away. What’s fascinating is that moving abroad isn’t just a lifestyle decision, it can be a financial one too. Different countries come with different costs, and entirely different ways of thinking about work, money, community, and quality of life. Our guest today is Richelle, founder of Move Abroad Coach. She’s spent more than 12 years living across half a dozen countries and has helped over 3,000 people navigate the leap overseas. Through that work, she’s gained a unique perspective on how where you live can dramatically shape your life and finances… often in ways most people never stop to consider. Today, we’re talking about the real pros and cons of leaving your home country behind: the money, the mindset shifts, the tradeoffs, and the opportunities. Specific topics include: Why Rochelle splurges on personal growth Her first move abroad was a major learning experience Moving abroad can be a financial strategy It’s not a vacation… it’s real life in a new place Remote work and self-employment make the move easier Digital nomad visas open up more options Healthcare can be far more affordable overseas Families can absolutely move abroad too Fit matters more than fantasy And plenty more!

Build a Retirement You'll Actually Enjoy w/ Wes Moss #1187
Anyone else a little tired of hearing about ‘retirement?’ It can feel like this vague, far-off finish line that we're told to obsess over for decades. But here's the thing: when you look at the research, a surprising number of people who are retired—or about to retire—are anxious. They've got regrets. Some of those regrets are financial. But many have nothing to do with money at all. So if we're going to spend years working toward retirement, we should probably make sure we're aiming for one we'll actually enjoy. Joel has known Wes Moss for a long time. They worked at the same radio station for well over a decade. He's still there because, believe it or not, terrestrial radio is still alive and well. His show, Money Matters, has helped countless listeners make smarter decisions about their money, their investments, and, yes, their retirement. Wes has a new book out that challenges a lot of conventional thinking about what makes retirement successful, and today we're diving into the financial and non-financial choices that can help you avoid the regrets so many retirees have. Today we discuss: Why his new research updates his earlier work on happiest retirees rather than replacing it entirely. Fear around retirement is often amplified by nonstop media coverage. Wes says more money alone does not erase anxiety, even for people with $3 million or more. Wes defines happiness in a more Aristotelian way, focusing on fulfillment and purpose rather than pure pleasure. He introduces “money green zones” for investable assets, income, and years left on a mortgage, arguing that happiness rises when retirees land in those ranges. A major theme is core pursuits, which Wes describes as hobbies on steroids. The happy retiree group tends to have 5 or more, and they spend about 20 hours a week on them versus about 13 for less happy retirees. Wes warns that purpose does not just appear in retirement. It has to be built intentionally well before leaving work. They talk about the “friendship recession” and how it gets harder to make close friends with every decade, making community a key retirement asset. The conversation also covers the emotional power of being able to say you could retire now, even if you choose not to. Wes says that confidence correlates with a 21% jump in happiness. On the financial side, Wes explains why a retirement plan, safe assets, and a flexible withdrawal strategy can reduce fear and improve spending confidence. They discuss Social Security timing, with Wes leaning toward using it sooner if doing so helps someone retire a year or two earlier and live better. How much of a remaining mortgage leads to higher levels of happiness And much more! Can’t get enough How To Money?
