In the second half, Joe and OG dive into one of retirement’s trickiest topics: long-term care insurance. Is it worth it? When should you buy it? How do you know if it’s right for your situation? Consider this your tactical briefing before walking into a battle you didn’t know you were fighting. You’ll also hear: Why borrowing someone else’s goals is a recipe for burnout. The power of structure and accountability (no drill sergeant required). What “Trump Accounts” are and why you might want to know about them.

Oh—and don’t miss a moment of Joe and OG’s always-wise, occasionally-weird banter as they break down topics like: Why goal setting isn’t just for January—and how to mid-course correct before December sneaks up on you. Risk management in real life (not the textbook version). Why mindful consumption isn’t about cutting back, but tuning in. What makes retirement joyful beyond the spreadsheets. How your community can be the most underrated part of your portfolio.

    Happy Money, Hidden Fees, and Hiring Your Kids (SB1706)

    What if your money could bring you more joy—and less stress? Today, we welcome Ken Honda, Japan’s bestselling personal development guru, to the basement. He introduces us to his concept of “Happy Money,” where gratitude replaces fear, and your relationship with money becomes… well, happier. From early lessons in emotional finance to wisdom from his own mentors, Ken shares how small mindset shifts can lead to big life changes. But before we get zen with our Benjamins, Joe and OG shine a light on the latest investigation into real estate commissions. Are hidden fees quietly draining your wallet when you buy or sell a home? The Justice Department seems to think so. We dive into what’s happening—and what you can do about it. Also in the episode: HSA contribution limits are rising—are you using your health savings account the smart way? A listener wonders if hiring their kids can unlock Roth IRA opportunities (spoiler: it’s not as simple as “just write them a check”). Doug moonshines a trivia question that may or may not involve death (but definitely involves Doug). Whether you’re looking for practical strategies or a new perspective on money itself, this episode brings both insight and inspiration.

    Want More Money? Cut The Clutter (with Tracy McCubbin) SB1705

    Is your home packed with emotional baggage... and maybe a few fondue sets you haven’t touched since 2003? Organizational expert Tracy McCubbin joins us to talk about the emotional side of clutter—why it builds up, how it weighs us down, and what to do when your sentimental stuff is quietly running the show. Meanwhile, Joe and OG dig into another kind of mess: the billions retirees lose by claiming Social Security too early. Timing isn’t just everything—it’s the difference between thriving in retirement and wondering where all the money went. In this episode, we cover: Why sentimental clutter is more than just "stuff"—and how to finally let it go. How donating intentionally can breathe new life into your old things (and clear some mental space). The tough conversations adult kids need to have with parents about downsizing and letting go. Strategies to help you avoid making costly Social Security decisions. A surprisingly thoughtful take on the Taco Bell Hotel (yes, it’s real... and yes, it sold out in minutes). Plus: a listener question, some truly questionable fashion choices, and one more reason not to hoard your retirement benefits—or your holiday dishes. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Let's Start a Money Revolution (SB1704)

    Happy Independence Day, Stackers! While fireworks boom and flags wave, we're lighting a spark under your financial life. This episode isn’t about tea in harbors—it’s about burning down debt, revolting against lifestyle creep, and rallying your family for a better money future.

(Spoiler: Jesse knows his colonial coinage.) And in the aftershow?

    Turning Ideas into Billion Dollar Businesses (with Julie Wainwright) SB1703

    What does it take to turn a bold idea into a billion-dollar brand? Julie Wainwright, founder of The RealReal, joins us to share how she did just that—after enduring some pretty public failures (hello, Pets.com). She talks about navigating the startup world, tackling ageism head-on, and why your past doesn’t define your future. Julie’s story is packed with wisdom on risk-taking, confidence, and what it really means to build something new when everyone else is telling you no. From the boardroom to the resale boutique, she takes us through the emotional rollercoaster of entrepreneurship—plus a few secrets on why luxury goods are more than just a pretty label. Also in the basement: We unpack Jason Zweig’s latest Wall Street Journal column on diversification and why it still matters (yes, even in this market). OG learns a Father’s Day lesson on the golf course (spoiler: not all swings are created equal). Doug manages to work in Margot Robbie. Again. Whether you’re plotting your own business empire or just wondering how someone not only recovers from flaming sock puppet-level failure, but who THRIVES afterward, this episode delivers honest insight with a side of style.

  8. Is the 4% Rule In Play? (SB1702)

    Is the 4% Rule In Play? (SB1702)

    How much can you really spend in retirement without running out of money—or worse, running out of fun? In this deeper-than-usual dive, Joe Saul-Sehy and OG examine the classic 4% retirement rule and whether it’s time for an upgrade. With new commentary from Bill Bengen, the original architect of the 4% rule, the team explores emerging research that suggests a withdrawal rate closer to 5.5% might be possible—if you’ve got the right mix of investments, a solid plan, and a bit of courage. But we don’t stop there. Because with greater freedom comes greater risk (especially if you're leading with vibes instead of strategy). The guys tackle the sequence of returns risk that can derail early retirement years, and how to build a portfolio that helps you sleep at night—even during a market storm. Meanwhile, Doug drops in with an unexpected (and very British) culinary experience, Joe fields a listener question comparing financial plans to workout routines (is your Roth IRA doing enough reps?), and yes... we revisit our fan-favorite segment on how food waste is wrecking your budget. Why the 4% rule might be too conservative (or maybe just outdated). What diversified portfolios and asset class strategy have to do with a longer-lasting nest egg. How to prepare for market downturns before they happen—and what to do if you're already in one. Why retirement joy isn’t just about spreadsheets—it’s about the psychology of spending with confidence. Which type of green tea is the superior kind (depending on which side of the TikTok aisle you're on). How to reduce food waste and put that extra savings toward your bigger financial goals. If you’re approaching retirement—or even just dreaming about it—understanding how much you can safely spend without sabotaging your future is the question. This episode combines historical insight with today’s market realities to give you the real math and mindset you need to retire well…and maybe even with a smile.
