Doug Nordman isn't your typical dad. While other fathers were out working, Doug was busy surfing, because he'd focused on financial independence from an early age. Today, he and his adult daughter Carol Pittner join us to discuss how Doug and his wife created a financial modeling system for their daughter and how that daughter (Carol) is now creating her own system at home. We talk about the value of making mistakes, the similarities between good parenting and poker, strategies for creating teachable moments, and more.

In our headline segment, social security is in the news. The US government just released the cost-of-living adjustment number for 2022, so we take this opportunity to discuss many ways to maximize your social security payout amount. Plus, in our TikTok minute we feature a song about a hot topic for travelers AND midway through the show, Doug shares his amazing trivia question.
