Which stats are the most important to track? Our roundtable this week focuses in on just one stat....and an article that says it's the most powerful statistic of all for your pocketbook.

On the Freshbooks FinTech segment we talk about the recent issues at Digit. The popular savings app recently went from the fantastic price of "free" to $2.99 per month. There was huge fallout on the internet....over $2.99 per month. Is this an overreaction? What happens when apps pivot? We ask three industry insiders for their point of view, and boy do they bring it. Shane Steele from Chime, Mike Lentz from TipYourself, and Brad Lawler from the Draft app give us their perspective.

If anyone knows the heartbeat of personal finance, it's Today Show Money Editor Jean Chatzky. On today's podcast, Jean joins us in the basement to talk about your financial engine. How well is it running? She's teamed up with Dr. Michael Roizen to talk about how to age-proof your life. We'll have LOTS of tips and resources today.

In our headline segment, we talk annuities. Our arch-enemy Meg forwarded us a nefarious piece about annuities that clearly displays what some annuity salespeople are thinking--they just want your cash. Plus, we throw out the Haven Life line and also save time for Doug's trivia.

Erin Loechner personally was tired of the rat race, so she chose to walk a different path. ON today's show, Erin shares how she contemplates every aspect of her life....from career decisions to spirituality, eating at home to mortality. We earn and spend money to support a lifestyle, and Erin explains how she's chasing a different one than most.

Plus, we throw out the Haven Life line to Adam, who asks about HSAs. We'll also answer a letter from Sarah, who wonders if she's taking too much risk with her investments.

On today's podcast we're talking about lying. A recent news piece reports that there are nine lies we're told about retirement planning. We'll break them down with Greg, Paula, and special guest Rich Jones from the hit podcast Paychecks and Balances.

We won't stop there, thought. We'll also discuss a recent question to the Moneyologist at MarketWatch. If you had two kids and one was irresponsible, would you disown him? We ask our roundtable that very question and come up with some interesting estate planning themes you may want to address in your own planning.

On the Freshbooks FinTech segment we talk to Michael Asare from Fee Belly. Ever feel like the fine print in a contract is completely against you? Fee Belly was designed to show you ALL of the fine print by highlighting it so you can easily see where contracts might not be in your favor. We'll ask him how it works on today's podcast.

Collectively, we aren't very good at the money talk. Either we talk down to people, fumble opportunities, or just mangle the topic. Today Marcy Keckler, VP of Financial Strategy for Ameriprise Financial heads down to the basement to cover all things communication and money. We'll discuss spouses/partners/significant others, spend a few moments on techniques to use with children, and then tackle the tough one, aging parents or adult kids.

In our headline segment two companies were scammed online and send LOTS of Benjamins to a crook. We'll explain how that happened and circle around to some tips about how you can protect your identity. Then our social media expert, Jamie Wise from the BUZZ Index (Ticker: BUZ) joins us with social media news about market sentiments overall, and about specific companies like Tesla and Verizon.

Plus, we throw out the Haven Life line to Sasha, who's worried about college. Are prices going to increase and how do parents protect children from the monster cost of an education? We'll also answer a letter from Collin, and also save time for Doug's trivia.
