    Ep 455: Let’s Stress Less in 2025
    2024/12/25
    This holiday season has been….stressful. And if it feels like you’re feeling more holiday stress this year than your male partner, you probably are. A 2023 poll from Yahoo News and YouGov found that 43% of women said their level of stress and anxiety increases during the holidays (compared to 32% of men). Resiliency and stress expert Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe shares her top tips for entering the New Year with less stress. Because when we’re less stressed we have more space to manage our needs (including our financial needs), and we can start planning for the future. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Why the holidays are so stressful 06:31 Redefining resiliency 9:01 The five pillars of resilience 20:31 A prescription for stress recovery 33:46 Mailbag Question 1: What is a safe harbor account? 36:01 Mailbag Question 2: I’m 60 years old. Should I convert my traditional IRA into a Roth IRA? TAKEAWAYS: Resilience is often misunderstood. It’s not just about being born with it but building it through lived experiences and relationships. Stress itself isn’t the enemy. It’s the overexposure to stress (distress) that harms us. Research suggests that swearing (when not directed at others) can improve pain tolerance.

  • Jean Chatzky’s Money Moves To Make Before The End Of The Year

    Jean Chatzky’s Money Moves To Make Before The End Of The Year
    2024/12/20
    As 2024 comes to a close, it’s time to take control of your money and set yourself up for an even better 2025. How to do it? We’ve got nine actionable steps from HerMoney CEO Jean Chatzky. From rebalancing your investment portfolio after a booming stock market year, to making sure your cash is earning its keep in high-yield savings accounts, we share how to optimize your money. Takeaways: Gains in tech stocks may have caused your asset allocation to shift, increasing risk. Rebalancing protects you if the market dips. Shop for high-yield savings accounts, CDs, or annuities with rates around 4-5% before rates drop further. Offset capital gains by selling underperforming investments.

  • Ep 454: Swedish Death Cleaning 101

    Ep 454: Swedish Death Cleaning 101
    2024/12/18
    It’s a record-breaking year for holiday travel with AAA reporting that almost 120 million people will travel 50 miles or more to spend this holiday season with the people they love. If you’re one of those people traveling to spend to holidays with your parents or your partner's parents, may we suggest doing a little Swedish death cleaning while you’re there? No, it’s not as morbid as it sounds (and, if done right, it shouldn’t put a damper on your holiday spirit). Psychologist and Swedish death cleaning expert, Katarina Blom shares why Swedish death cleaning is a life-affirming experience and practical tips for getting started. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Holiday decluttering 06:00 Swedish death cleaning defined 9:00 How to start Swedish death cleaning 18:00 Setting a purpose for your home 30:01 Mailbag Question 1: I have multiple properties, which one should I pay off before I retire? 37:01 Mailbag Question 2: What are the implications of closing a credit card that my parents opened before I was 18? TAKEAWAYS: Swedish death cleaning is life-affirming and helps create space for what truly matters. Acknowledging our mortality can lead to a more fulfilling life. Consumerism often serves as an avoidance strategy for dealing with pain. Having open conversations about death can help relieve anxiety about the future. Finding purpose in your home is essential for a peaceful living environment. Learn more about our Finance Fixx program here. Use code PODCAST for a $100 discount.

  • HerMoney Classic: Holiday Tipping 101

    HerMoney Classic: Holiday Tipping 101
    2024/12/16
    The holidays are the perfect time to show gratitude to the people who make our lives easier, from housekeepers and hairstylists to restaurant servers and babysitters. But figuring out how much to tip — and how to fit it into our budgets — can feel overwhelming, especially with inflation making everything more expensive than it used to be. We’re bringing back this episode with Barbara Sloan, founder of Tipped Finance and author of Tipped: The Life-Changing Guide to Financial Freedom for Service Industry Professionals to discuss holiday tipping etiquette, budgeting strategies, and why tipping should feel good, not guilt-driven. Chapters: 00:00 Showing gratitude during the holidays 09:00 Common tipping questions and answers 16:00 The ethics of tipping 20:00 Financial advice for service workers Takeaways: Many tipping norms, such as $2-5 per night for hotel housekeeping, haven’t changed in decades. Tipping should feel good and be reserved for personalized services where workers directly enhance the experience. If finances are tight, reduce the number of luxury services you use rather than tipping less. Learn more about our Finance Fixx program here. Use code PODCAST for a $100 discount.

    2024/12/13
    Many of us spend decades saving for retirement. But what happens when it’s time to spend those hard-earned dollars…how do you make them last? On the most recent episode of Your Money Map, our weekly show with the Alliance for Lifetime Income, we talk about all things decumulation with the pros — Christine Benz, Director of Personal Finance and Retirement Planning for Morningstar, and David Blanchett, Research Fellow with the Alliance for Lifetime Income Institute.

CHAPTERS: 00:00 Retirement worries 05:00 Why spending down our money in retirement can be so stressful 16:00 Redefining retirement as financial independence 25:00 Spending for maximum happiness TAKEAWAYS: Start by identifying your essential expenses and aligning them with guaranteed income like Social Security or annuities to cover the basics. Lifelong savers often struggle to spend their hard-earned money. To overcome this mindset, consider using strategies like “spending pots” for travel or hobbies, which allow you to enjoy your savings guilt-free. Adding guaranteed income (like annuities) to your retirement plan can provide peace of mind and allow you to spend more freely, knowing your essential needs are covered.

  • Ep 453: Making An Impact For A Nonprofit You Love

    Ep 453: Making An Impact For A Nonprofit You Love
    2024/12/11
    The charitable giving landscape in 2024 is a tricky one. Because the truth is, Americans have become less generous in the last few years. Vox has gone so far as to say we’re in the middle of a “generosity crisis,” and fewer than half of us now give to charity on an annual basis. So, how can we make sure our favorite nonprofits continue to thrive? And how can we know what type of donations and philanthropic efforts will have the most impact? Nancy Brown, CEO of the American Heart Association shares her top tips for smart charitable giving in 2024. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Charitable Giving Landscape in 2024 04:30 Women’s Heart Health 16:30 The Power of Small Donations and Volunteering 31:00 Mailbag Question 1: I have multiple HSAs, should I consolidate them now? 35:00 Mailbag Question 2: I have a variable annuity, how do I evaluate if it’s the best place to keep my money? TAKEAWAYS: Donor-advised funds (DAFs) are accounts that allow charitable contributions to grow tax-free, amplifying their impact over time. Automating your monthly giving offers nonprofits much-needed financial stability. Giving appreciated securities can save donors from paying capital gains tax while offering nonprofits the full value of the assets.  Learn more about our Finance Fixx program here.
