The Stacking Benjamins Show

We return one last time to Chicago and the floor of the Podcast Movement conference, where yet another group of personal finance podcasters join us to talk money. What do their listeners worry about? We ask our panel for three new topics and not only do they deliver that....but they also give us some cool new FinTech toys that they like.

At the halfway point, the Evil HR Lady herself, Suzanne Lucas, stops by the basement to talk about an experiment she ran...handing her job over to a robot. Did it go well? Are robots coming to get us all? We'll find out on today's show.

What was the role of money in early America? Historian and host of the Ben Franklin's World podcast, Liz Covart joins us to talk trade, taxes, and a little tea party. Bitcoin is in the headlines again, as are restaurants. Does a recession in the restaurant sector spell doom for stocks?

Our Quotacy Hotline call comes from Ryan, who asks whether he should invest outside of his rotten 401k plan. We also answer a letter from Jay about paying down debt with an old IRA. Of course, Doug still brings down the trivia AND might have found a spokesman for his budding new business.

Planning for school lunch or for work lunches? Why overspend? Len Penzo from (LenPenzo.com) joins us again for his offbeat 8th annual brown bag sandwich survey. Which sandwich is least expensive? Which is most? Which cost has risen the most over time? There are lots of surprises and laughs with Len on today's show.

Plus, in the headlines, Joe describes his experience with a homeowner's insurance claim. We answer a letter from Amy in the Quotacy hotline about pensions. Are they safe? As always, Doug shares amazing trivia, and more!

Lea McLeod created a resume coloring book. Sound crazy? It has an AMAZING track record of helping people find jobs. How does it work? We ask her today.

Plus, Tucker the Intern is off to college. He says goodbye and then we return the goodbyes at the end of today's episode. Good luck, Tucker!

Tucker the intern rewinds to the time the producer and director of Broken Eggs, a film about the broken retirement system in the United States, visited with Joe. They discuss not only what's broken, but also possible solutions to many common retirement system problems.

Our roundtable serves up some mistakes investors make, while Joe's Mom's neighbor Doug sits in for OG and discusses hitting your boss up for a raise....on this classic rewind episode.

We bring in a NEW group of financial podcasters to talk money live from the Podcast Movement Conference in Chicago, Illinois. What are the biggest questions this group of podcasters get from their listeners? We ask Elle Martinez from Couple Money, Shannon McLay from Martinis and Your Money, and Steve Stewart from No Debt, No Credit, No Problem about their audience's biggest questions.

Also we talk to James Gibson from Quottly about some hot new fintech!

Today's show is FULL of surprises. First, Tess Vigeland (Marketplace) joins us to talk about her life one year after she wrote a book about moving on from her lucrative and popular career....THEN Jason Vitug stops by the basement to shares stories from his US Road to Financial Wellness tour (and his NY Times reviewed book....). Plus, we share a story about fun stuff that happened to Joe in Chicago with a big money lesson, handle a Quotacy hotline call about keeping investing simple, and more!

Can you tweak your investments to perform better? Matt Hall, author of Odds On, the Making of an Evidence Based Investor says that you can...and without betting on individual stocks or risky asset allocation mixes. 

But the fun begins today with special co-host Farnoosh Torabi and headlines about highly paid celebrities and individual stocks. Plus, Joe & Farnoosh tackle a Quotacy hotline question from Spencer about refinancing his house and a mailbag offering from Bill about whether to use a traditional or Roth 401k. All that AND Doug's betting on the horses to pay off his student loans...

We grabbed some of your favorite money podcasters at Podcast Movement conference 2016 and asked them what issues they're hearing about from listeners....and MAN did we get an ear full from Miranda Marquit, Scott Alan Turner, and Philip Taylor.

At the midway point of today's show we meet Derik Lolli from Benefit-Mobile. The Benefit app allows users to support causes that are important to them while shopping.
