The Stacking Benjamins Show

You inherit some money. Now how do you invest it conservatively so it doesn't disappear? You want to be responsible and you don't want to make a mistake. Plus, there are so many options available when you're investing...how do you determine what's right? We'll address not only that, but we'll also field a question about Motif investing, how to deal with an unresponsive advisor, and more. Our listener letters are always some of our most entertaining and wide-ranging episodes, and you don't disappoint today.

Of course, we also have headlines ripped from the biggest news sources in financial planning, throw out the Haven Life Line, feature some hair-raising trivia from Doug, and more.

Special thanks to Roofstock and MagnifyMoney.com for sponsoring our show! We couldn't do any of this without the support of this awesome company.

What do you do when things seem to be going well in your life, but none of it is what you want? You pivot, and then you adjust your financial life. That's what happened in Kim Anderson's life, not once, but...we'll let her tell the story on today's show?

We also will discuss headlines about how wealthy people think about money. Do you share these traits? Also, we'll tackle a new rule around medical bills and credit. What happens when you have overdue medical bills? Now you'll be able to fight harder to have your credit restored. You'll want to hear about all of these rule changes on today's show. 

We'll also throw out the Haven Life Line to Alan, who wonders about the rule of 72. How can you use it for better planning? Plus we'll answer a letter from Ryan, whose parents want him to help advise them about financial decisions. Should he do it?

We all want to have better control with our money. Whether you're handling some stuff well and need a couple hints OR you feel like you're bleeding Benjamins, today we have the right topic for you. Mrs. Adventure Rich from the AdventureRich.com blog joins us to talk about a Clark Howard article with LOTS of tips to take control of your money. Plus we'll also discuss flipping your financial focus AND what lessons we should tell our future self.

In our Friday FinTech segment, we discuss Ask.vet. Many of us have a hard enough time handling our own doctor visits, premiums, and deductibles. Healthcare is one of the biggest factors we have to keep in mind as we plan for retirement. So, where do pets factor in all of the mess? To help clear out some of the fog, and make taking care of the family pets more affordable, we're calling Dr. Cherice Roth. You might be a bit surprised at which animals rack up the biggest vet bills.

How come other people are wealthy and you aren't? John Hope Bryant believes that for many people, it's because they didn't come from the right neighborhoods, have the right friends, or were born into the right family. They didn't get "the memo" on how to become rich. Yet, Bryant says, that isn't an excuse, and it's up to YOU to change your life to achieve the financial freedom you want. If you're looking to be inspired, today's podcast is for you.

Plus, we'll also share headlines from the world of financial planning, throw out the Haven Life line to a lucky listener, score with some of Doug's delightful trivia, and more.

Huge thanks to Roofstock (check out their massive real estate database) and MagnifyMoney.com (when you're comparing financial tools like credit cards and savings accounts) for helping us with today's show. They're awesome companies and if you're not using them, I'm not sure you know what you're missing!

Why is it that we start projects (like our big plans for financial independence) but never finish? New York Times bestselling author Jon Acuff has experienced the setbacks that come with failing to complete tasks in his own life, starting project after project and leaving them abandoned. He studied the reasons people stop before reaching their goals and now comes down to the basement to share with us how to complete tasks, even when you think there's very little chance you'll get them done. Also, we'll bring you important updates about the Equifax data breach, including two places you should freeze your credit that you may not have considered.

We'll also throw out the Haven Life Line to April, who asks about identity fraud, feature some trivia from Doug, and more.
