Marie Thomasson of Modern Assets is back to discuss how we can be more conscious about our spending and how retailers with bad labor and business practices have made it too easy for us to check for alternatives. But everyone has to be aware that where they spend is a conscious moral decision of approving or not what these businesses do. We cover:

• The dark side of the biggest retailers business practices and their impact to society 
• Having your values reflect how you spend and where
• Alternatives to buying from these big retailers to those with better business practices
• If unavoidable, how to still buy from these with the least negative impact

What if you spent the greater part of your life studying and training to be a doctor only to find out, medicine isn’t for you? Our guest Jordan Grumet aka Doc G, shares how he unintentionally found his way to financial independence. He discusses the lessons he’s learned about life and what really matters inspired by his years as a hospice doctor. Learn about how he was able to turn his career into a passion so that retirement is truly optional. 

About our guest:

Jordan Grumet was born in Evanston, Illinois in 1973. His interest in becoming a doctor was ignited when his father, an oncologist, died unexpectedly in the prime of life. This profound loss not only inspired him to practice medicine, it has given him a unique perspective as a financial expert, challenging him to think deeply and critically about concepts like wealth, abundance, and financial independence.

After graduating from the University of Michigan, Jordan received his medical degree from Northwestern University, and began practicing Internal Medicine in Northbrook, Illinois. He currently is an associate medical director at Journeycare Hospice.

After years of blogging about financial independence and wellness, Jordan launched the Earn & Invest podcast in 2018. In 2019 he received the Plutus Award for Best New Personal Finance Podcast and was nominated in 2020 and 2021 for Best Personal Finance Podcast of the year. His book, Taking Stock: A Hospice Doctor’s Advice on Financial Independence, Building Wealth, and Living a Regret-Free Life was published by Ulysses Press in August 2022.

Have you created a plan for when you eventually need assistance with everyday activities and are unable to care for yourself for a long period of time?

I was always under the assumption that I should purchase a policy somewhere in the age range of my mid-50s to mid-60s but Dr. Jay burst my bubble. He also got me thinking about what I would do about my father if he needed this assistance.

Worried about paying for college for your kids? Imagine if they not only had school fully paid for but graduated with a nest egg already in place.

 Chris shares how his Debt Free Degree Triangle makes this possible. 

About our guest:

Chris Corinthian has worked for over 15 years in higher education in the areas of financial aid and financial literacy. After working with thousands of students, he realized that there were specific steps that students did to receive multiple scholarships and graduate debt-free. 

Unfortunately, there were also students who did not know this information and dropped out of school because they did not have enough money to complete college. Chris is on a mission to stop the national student loan debt from rising by showing students the blueprint to not only graduate debt-free but also show them how they can have money in the bank when they walk across that stage at graduation. 

Through teaching the principles of financial literacy, he walks high school students and current college students through a three-step framework on how to “find the money, budget the money, and grow the money” to pay for school.
