    Giving "Defined Duration" to Stocks | Cullen Roche - E130

    Jesse is joined by Cullen Roche—financial writer, macro thinker, and founder of Discipline Funds—for a clear-eyed conversation about how money actually works, why so much financial commentary gets it wrong, and how investors can make better decisions by understanding the plumbing beneath markets. Together, they unpack the core mechanics of the modern monetary system, including how government spending, deficits, and interest rates function in practice rather than theory, and why fears around debt and inflation are often oversimplified or misapplied. Cullen explains the crucial distinction between households and currency issuers, challenges common narratives around money printing and fiscal irresponsibility, and outlines how misconceptions about macroeconomics can lead investors to poor asset allocation decisions. The discussion also explores portfolio construction through the lens of economic regimes, the role of cash and bonds as stabilizers rather than return drivers, and why discipline and risk management matter more than prediction. Throughout, Jesse and Cullen emphasize that understanding monetary operations is not about forecasting markets, but about grounding financial decisions in reality, humility, and process—especially in a world saturated with confident but flawed macro narratives. Key Takeaways: • Governments that issue their own currency operate under fundamentally different constraints than individuals. • Understanding monetary plumbing helps investors avoid emotional macro reactions. • Narratives are persuasive but frequently misleading. Sound investing focuses on process over storytelling. • Portfolio construction should reflect multiple possible economic outcomes. • Understanding how money moves reduces fear-driven decisions. • Long-term success depends more on behavior and discipline than on being "right" about the economy.

    The Financial Planning Process, Step-By-Step | AMA #13 - E129

    On Jesse's 13th AMA episode, he steps back from tactics and returns to first principles, answering listener questions that cut to the core of what financial planning actually is—and what it is not. He begins by dismantling the common assumption that a portfolio and a financial plan are interchangeable, explaining why investing is only one component of a much broader process that aligns cash flow, risk, taxes, goals, and life transitions across decades. From there, Jesse walks listeners through his end-to-end financial planning framework, starting with values and goal clarification, moving through balance sheets, cash flow, taxes, insurance, and estate planning, and ending with implementation and ongoing iteration as life evolves. Using the example of young adults in their 20s, he highlights where early financial energy is best spent: awareness of spending, intentional goal-setting, early investing for learning and compounding, and developing human capital through career growth. The episode closes with a thoughtful response to a fellow planner's question about client inertia, blending behavioral finance and lived experience to explain why busy, successful people often delay planning—and how patience, education, structure, and progress over perfection can create momentum without coercion. Throughout, Jesse reinforces a central theme: real financial planning is not about perfect portfolios, but about creating clarity, flexibility, and forward motion in an uncertain and deeply human life. Key Takeaways: • A portfolio and a financial plan are not the same thing. Investing is only one component of comprehensive financial planning. • Your financial plan must align money with goals, values, and life realities. • Financial plans must evolve as careers, families, and health change. • Career growth can compound more powerfully than portfolio tweaks. • Client inertia is usually about time, emotion, or uncertainty—not laziness. • The ultimate goal of planning is clarity, flexibility, and peace of mind. Progress does not have to be linear or immediate to be meaningful.

    Some Dumb Financial Moves (That I'm Fine With) - E128

    In this candid solo episode, Jesse walks through a series of financial decisions that look "wrong" on paper but make complete sense when viewed through the lens of real life, values, and tradeoffs. Using personal examples, he challenges the idea that optimal spreadsheets should always dictate behavior, arguing instead that financial planning exists to support a life well lived—not to win theoretical efficiency contests. Jesse explains why holding excess cash even when expected returns favor investing, and prioritizing flexibility and simplicity over marginal tax optimization. Throughout the episode, he dismantles the myth that good planning means eliminating all inefficiency, emphasizing that peace of mind, optionality, and behavioral alignment often outweigh incremental gains. By reframing "dumb" financial moves as intentional choices made with eyes wide open, Jesse encourages listeners to separate true financial mistakes from decisions that are simply mismatched to someone else's values or risk tolerance—and to give themselves permission to choose what actually works for their lives. Key Takeaways: • Not all financially "inefficient" decisions are mistakes. Optimization often ignores behavioral and emotional realities. • Taking care of a low interest loan can offer peace of mind—despit better returns often being found in investments. • Leasing a car or renting a home may be the right move—depending on the situation. • Using an HSA early may seem like a bad idea, but it could help reduce stress elsewhere in our financial lives. • Being a "lazy investor" is often better than being a complicated investor. • Spreadsheets cannot fully capture human behavior. A "good" decision can look bad to outsiders and still be right.

    Longevity & Retirement | Jeremy Keil - E127

    Jesse is joined by Jeremy Keil—Certified Financial Planner, Chartered Financial Analyst, author of Retire Today, and host of the Retirement Revealed podcast—for a wide-ranging conversation that reframes how people should think about retirement decisions long before and long after the final day of work. Together, they explore why most people retire earlier than planned, why longevity is so often misunderstood, and how flawed assumptions about life expectancy, Social Security, and taxes can quietly undermine otherwise solid plans. Jeremy introduces the concept of "retirement longevity" as both when retirement starts and how long it may last, emphasizing the importance of personalized life expectancy modeling, joint longevity for couples, and treating Social Security as insurance rather than an investment. The discussion also dives deep into Jeremy's five-step Retirement Master Plan—starting with spending, then income, tax planning, investing, and legacy—highlighting why tax strategy and Roth conversions are often the most powerful yet overlooked levers in retirement planning. Throughout the episode, Jesse and Jeremy blend technical insight with behavioral clarity, addressing the emotional hurdles retirees face, from fear of running out of money to the identity shift from saver to spender, ultimately offering a grounded, practical roadmap for building confidence and clarity in retirement. Key Takeaways: • Average life expectancy statistics are misleading for near-retirees. Personalized longevity estimates are far more useful than population averages. • Couples must plan around joint life expectancy, not individual longevity. • Current take-home pay is a practical proxy for estimating retirement lifestyle spending. • Roth conversions are situational tools, not universally good strategies. The timing and size of Roth conversions matter as much as the decision to do them. • Many retirees struggle emotionally with shifting from saving to spending. The healthiest mindset shift is from "saver" or "spender" to lifelong "planner."

    Is 2026 Your Year to Retire? | AMA #12 - E126

    On Jesse's 12th "Ask Me Anything" episode, he opens the year by tackling the questions that tend to surface when calendars turn and retirement feels closer than ever. He begins with a thoughtful exploration of whether "this is the year to retire," unpacking how sequence-of-returns risk, market valuations, spending accuracy, and portfolio construction matter far more than trying to guess the next market move, and why building flexibility—not perfect timing—is the real defense against early-retirement risk. From there, Jesse shifts to a practical and surprisingly nuanced discussion on getting kids and grandkids started in investing, weighing Roth IRAs, custodial accounts, and taxable strategies while emphasizing the twin lessons of earned money and compounding—and how to balance long-term discipline with making investing engaging and educational. He then addresses how portfolios should evolve as investors age and as assets grow, explaining why the glide path toward retirement is as much about risk capacity, risk need, and behavioral fit as it is about age, and why excess capital fundamentally changes how—and why—you take risk. He closes with a comprehensive walk through the key ages and milestones that shape a financial plan, from early adulthood to Social Security, Medicare, and required minimum distributions, giving listeners a clear mental map of when critical doors open and close. Throughout, Jesse blends technical insight with behavioral clarity, helping listeners not just answer financial questions, but build a durable way of thinking about decisions that will compound for decades. Key Takeaways: • The decision to retire is less about predicting markets and more about understanding cash flow, spending flexibility, and downside protection in the early years. • Writing down the rationale behind major investment decisions helps reduce future regret and emotional reactions. • Many retirees underestimate their spending, which can create false confidence in retirement readiness. • Teaching kids about investing works best when it combines earned income, parental matching, and simple, long-term strategies. • Excess capital changes the nature of investment decisions, allowing greater freedom without jeopardizing core goals. • Knowing the key financial ages—Social Security, Medicare, Roth rules, and required minimum distributions—helps investors anticipate decisions rather than react under pressure.

    Jesse's Ghosts of Financial Past, Present, and Future | E125

    In this Christmas episode, Jesse steps back from year-end checklists and market noise to tell a more personal story—one shaped by the "ghosts" of his financial past, present, and future. He begins with the early experiences that formed his relationship with money: a summer concession stand that taught him pricing, customer focus, and the power of simply telling people what you do; a first job cleaning bathrooms at a state park that clarified the difference between earning a paycheck and building a career; and the moment in his mid-20s when seeing real dollars in his 401(k) pulled him into a decade-long deep dive on personal finance, blogging, and eventually a full career change into wealth management. From there, he pivots into a transparent walkthrough of his current systems—how he and his wife structure savings, manage cash, use insurance, approach debt, track spending, and design an investment allocation that reflects real life rather than theory. He also shares three planning cases from this year that reveal the human side of financial advice: navigating retirement after a family death, unwinding concentrated stock risk for a high-earning executive, and giving one engineer the peace of mind to sleep through layoff fears. Looking ahead, Jesse reflects on where the industry is headed—AI-enabled tools, changing fee models, and a shift toward values-based planning—while outlining how he and his family think about the future with a firm grip on flexibility, priorities, and the fleeting years of raising young children. It's an intimate, thoughtful close to the year—less about spreadsheets and more about why financial planning matters in the life you're actually living. Key Takeaways: • Take time to seek out new opportunities. Putting yourself out there for advancement is one of the most straightforward ways to advance financially. • Getting "skin in the game" with real dollars in a 401(k) or investment account is often the catalyst for learning personal finance at a deeper level. • A blended approach to retirement savings (401(k), Roth IRA, HSA) builds both tax flexibility and long-term resilience. • Cash-management infrastructure—joint accounts, high-yield banks, and legacy accounts—matters less than ensuring clarity, shared access, and ease of use. • Tools like the state-run CHIP/Child Health Plus programs can dramatically reduce healthcare costs for families with children. • Strong personal finances create flexibility: the ability to enjoy life now while still protecting the future—especially during the irreplaceable years of raising children. Key Timestamps: (04:22) – Financial Past: Early Money Lessons (07:09) – Entrepreneurial Beginnings: The Concession Stand (10:36) – First Job Experiences and Lessons Learned (20:20) – Financial Present: Family Finances and Planning (26:23) – Our Investment Strategy (32:58) – Tax Planning Insights (37:25) – Evolving Budgeting Methods (45:08) – Financial Future: What Will You Make of It?

    Dying With an HSA, Mystery Mortgage Math, & Should DIY Investors Hire a Planner? | AMA #11 - E124

    On Jesse's 11th "Ask Me Anything" episode, he unpacks four questions that sit at the center of real-life financial decision-making. He starts with a grounded look at the 15-year vs. 30-year mortgage debate, cutting through rules of thumb to show how interest rates, liquidity, cash-flow, and even your personal comfort with debt shape the right choice far more than blanket advice ever could. From there, he turns to the under-discussed strategy behind Health Savings Accounts—why the "invest and reimburse later" approach works, when it stops working, and how the tax bomb of leaving HSA dollars to non-spouse heirs should change how listeners think about funding and spending those accounts in their 50s and beyond. In a detailed case study, Jesse walks through a listener's complex 2026 tax year involving rental-property capital gains, ACA cliffs, Social Security timing, and potential Roth conversions, revealing how layered tax rules—income brackets, capital gains stacking, depreciation recapture, and NIIT—interact in ways that can either save or silently cost retirees thousands. And finally, he tackles whether a diehard DIY investor or Boglehead should ever hire a financial planner, drawing a sharp distinction between the "Uncle Franks" who truly live and breathe this stuff and the "Nicks" who love markets but miss the deeper planning work. With clarity, nuance, and practical wisdom, Jesse shows listeners not just what to do, but how to think through the tradeoffs that define good long-term planning. Key Takeaways: • A 15-year mortgage saves significant interest, but the higher monthly payments reduce cash-flow flexibility and increase default risk. • A 30-year mortgage often wins mathematically when investors "invest the difference," thanks to potentially higher long-term market returns versus fixed loan rates. • Choosing a mortgage term is partly a psychological decision, not just a financial optimization. • HSA dollars become a tax trap if left to non-spouse heirs, who must treat the entire balance as taxable income in the year of inheritance. • Selling a rental property triggers both capital gains and depreciation recapture, which can dramatically increase taxable income in that year. • DIY investors vary widely—some are true experts, while others know just enough to make avoidable mistakes. Key Timestamps: (02:04) – 15-Year vs. 30-Year Mortgage Debate (11:03) – Liquidity and Mortgage Payments (13:48) – HSA Accounts: When to Fund and When to Use (25:37) – Spending Down HSA Balances (26:39) – Allison's Financial Planning Dilemma (29:05) – Analyzing Capital Gains and Tax Implications (35:49) – Considering Social Security Timing (38:54) – The Role of Financial Planners for DIY Investors Key Topics Discussed: The Best Interest, Jesse Cramer, Wealth Management Rochester NY, Financial Planning for Families, Fiduciary Financial Advisor, Comprehensive Financial Planning, Retirement Planning Advice, Tax-Efficient Investing, Risk Management for Investors, Generational Wealth Transfer Planning, Financial Strategies for High Earners, Personal Finance for Entrepreneurs, Behavioral Finance Insights, Asset Allocation Strategies, Advanced Estate Planning Techniques More of The Best Interest: Check out the Best Interest Blog at https://bestinterest.blog/ Contact me at jesse@bestinterest.blog Consider working with me at https://bestinterest.blog/work/ Personal Finance for Long-Term Investors is a personal podcast meant for education and entertainment.

    Feeling Time Poor? The Journey to Owning Your Time | Andy Hill - E123

    Jesse sits down with Andy Hill—personal finance educator, podcast host, and creator of Marriage, Kids, and Money—for a candid conversation about building wealth while building a life you actually enjoy. Andy shares how a mix of financial discipline, intentional goal-setting, and family-centered values helped him and his wife pay off their mortgage by age 35 and achieve financial independence on their own terms. Together, they unpack why traditional FIRE goals often miss the human side of money, how to define "enough," and why generosity and purpose are essential parts of financial freedom. Andy also opens up about the shift from chasing net worth to focusing on net happiness, revealing the moment he realized money was no longer the main goal—but a tool for creating the life and impact he wanted most. Throughout, Jesse and Andy remind listeners that real wealth isn't about numbers—it's about freedom, joy, and using money to live aligned with what truly matters. Key Takeaways: • Financial freedom isn't just about money—it's about creating the life and relationships you truly want. • Family alignment around financial goals strengthens relationships and ensures everyone is moving in the same direction. • Andy's shift from "net worth" to "net happiness" redefined how he measures success and balance. • Andy emphasizes financial independence on your own terms, not a one-size-fits-all version of FIRE. • Clarity creates motivation—when your goals align with personal meaning, saving and investing feel purposeful. • Sustainability matters more than intensity—consistent, realistic habits lead to long-term financial wellness.
