Do financial boogeymen haunt your dreams? You’re not alone. Today, we’re diving into the worries that keep even the most seasoned finance nerds up at night. From concerns about index fund concentration to the fear of market manipulation and obsession with asset allocation, this episode tackles it all with insight and a healthy dose of perspective.

Joining Joe and OG in the basement is an all-star panel: Paula Pant from Afford Anything, Jesse Cramer from Best Interest, and Dr. Jordan Grumet from Earn and Invest. Together, they’ll share strategies to conquer financial fears by staying calm, focusing on the big picture, and sticking to sound investment principles.


And don’t miss the kickoff of the year-long Stacking Benjamins Trivia Challenge! It’s packed with brain-busting questions, lively debates, and, yes, the occasional cat butt reference (because it’s still the basement, after all).
