Breaking up is hard to do...but what if your money is at stake? You don't want to be in a horrible relationship with a financial advisor that you can't trust, don't like, and who doesn't make your wallet go all a-flutter. That's why we called in Chris Mamula to kick off "relationship week" on the podcast. He's a guy who was anti-advisor for a long time and now IS an advisor. How would HE tell you to break up when you're in a bad relationship? He'll share great tips AND his personal experience from behind the advisory veil on today's show.
Plus, in our headline segment, millennials are struggling with credit card debt. How do they begin to dig out? We'll share both strategies and motivators for you, whether you're a millennial or not. Of course, we have a brilliant TikTok minute from a Stacker who's making the most of a Hallmark holiday by making money instead of spending it. If you're spending Valentine's Day working, you'll LOVE this edition...
Of course, we'll also share Doug's fantastic trivia question AND Joe's review of Poor Things on the back porch.

Join us as we wrap up Greatest Hits Week with a favorite roundtable discussion: What lessons would you share with your younger self? This episode originally aired on November 5, 2021, so please disregard any mention of current events.
If you could go back and give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be? Maybe it’s to take more chances or say adios to the boss that treats you horrible or maybe it’s just to live life to the fullest and not worry about what others think. Today our roundtable discusses a blog piece from Ryan Holiday about mistakes he’s made and advice he would give himself. Caleb Gulliams (Better Wealth), Paula Pant (Afford Anything) and Doc G (Earn & Invest) join our roundtable and talk about advice they’d give their younger self and the mistakes they’ve made.

Do you struggle to ask for more from your contractors, your real estate professional, your stagers, or other help? Do you think you stink at negotiation? Before learning to negotiate, it’s a great idea to get comfortable with asking for more.

Confidence in Negotiation: Asking for More in Real Estate Deals with Dia Bondi GREATEST HITS WEEK (SB1512)

t's Hump Day on Greatest Hits Week! Today we're throwing it back to a fan favorite: Joe's 2018 interview with the one-and-only Suze Orman! Please disregard any mention of current events.
We’re pulling out all the stops today because we’re talking to a special guest that you may (or may not) have heard of… Suze Orman. We’ll talk all things women and money, mentorship, understanding your investments and financial tools, and more. Plus, during our headlines segment we’re extra packed because we’re delivering three awesome headlines. First: is Robinhood really making MILLIONS by selling out millennials’ user data? One group thinks so. And if that wasn’t enough, in a retirement plan court fight, one retirement fund is fighting back against participants that sued the employer by asking for monetary sanctions against the six employee-plaintiffs and the law firm that represented them. But that’s not all….because we’re also dissecting one piece about Barry White and the estate he left behind. How much of your estate does your girlfriend receive when you’ve been separated from your wife for two decades (but never actually divorced her?)…do we have some news for you…

Earn & Invest Podcast: How to Hack Retirement w/ Joe Saul-Sehy and John Neidecker GREATEST HITS WEEK (SB1510)

Welcome, Stacker, to a very special week! We start off our special Greatest Hits Week with a bang!
Know those horrible situations where everyone’s fighting at work — or worse, at home? Talk about a horrible investment: being invested in a rotten environment can overshadow even the best portfolio returns. Good news, though. It turns out, there are two types of conflict: the kind that allows us to grow and produces a positive outcome and the kind that’s downright toxic. To help us find a way toward healthy conflict, Gabe Karp joins us. He talks about why it can be hard to see the other side of an argument, how to turn bad conflict into good, and how to move toward a healthier working environment by even maybe fighting more (but in a healthy way).
But before that, we speak to Lamine Zarrad from Stellar about credit and the current economy. What happens when interest rates continue to rise and you need a new loan that you can’t afford? Lamine created a company called StellarFI, which was built to help people build their credit through paying bills on time. We’ll talk about credit issues, the economic slowdown, and how you can protect yourself.
This show originally aired in June of 2022, so please ignore any mention of current events.
