A new CBS report shows that the average person's perception of how much they'll need for retirement has changed dramatically versus four short years ago. Do you think the number is higher or lower? We'll not only share that, but we'll also dive into this idea of calculating the correct amount to save. When is it truly important to begin working on your retirement vision? When should you be more scientific about your overall asset allocation toward your goals, and when does it make sense to just save money? Today we'll share all of those milestones and more as we help you calculate a retirement number that's better geared toward your personal goals AND that's only created when it actually makes sense to have a goal.
In our TikTok minute, there are property owners all over the world testing their insurance premiums. We'll share how. We also take a call from Stacker Collin, who wonders which option to take for health insurance (pronounced IN-surance), since it's likely he and his spouse will be working for the same company. Of course, we have some fun out on the back porch talking all things television, and more.

When Does It Pay To Be More Scientific About Retirement? (SB1515)

Janesse Torres is a force of nature. She purposefully quit her high-paying job as an engineer because it didn't fit her personality AFTER posting about it on social media. Today she joins us to talk about living your life intentionally, building financial reserves, demanding more from your boss, and if you get "no" as your answer, moving on. As the host of Yo Quiero Dinero and a woman who's a social media/blogging powerhouse, she's used to talking about life as it is, without mincing words. Today you get the full Janesse as she shares how to negotiate, build savings, and more.
Plus, in our headline, new legislation should help you find advisors who are trustworthy when it comes to working with your retirement plan money. Will the reality equal the promise? We weigh in on how the legislation works, what we think will happen, and how to plan whether it finally becomes law in September or not. You'll be ready to find better help for your retirement after today's show.
Plus we answer a call from Jen, who wonders about HSA plans. Can she move money from her IRA to an HSA? And that's not all....of course, Doug shares some trivia you'll be sharing later with friends and family.
On the back porch, we talk about what we've decided for our Friday roundtable shows. Who's going to be the new frequent contributor?
Of course, that's just the FIRST episode of our new eight weeks! We've got action packed mentorship from Brian Preston, Robert Niles, humor from Lisa Curry, great feedback from a panel of kids-and-money experts, and more!

Quit Your Job, Find Freedom (with Janesse Torres)

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.

What Life Lessons Would You Share With A Younger You? GREATEST HITS WEEK (SB1513)

Let's keep Greatest Hits Week rolling with a must-hear episode from our sister show, Stacking Deeds. This show originally aired on November 21, 2023, so please disregard and mention of current events.
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…
The original show notes are available here: Suze Orman » The Stacking Benjamins Show.
