    Understanding Your Financial Roadmap (with Nick Maggiulli) SB1712

    What do your financial priorities look like when you're just getting started... or when you're sitting on $100 million? If you’re still stuck trying to figure out how to max out your Roth IRA and also afford dinner, this episode’s going to walk you through what might be coming next—without promising you a yacht by Tuesday. This week on The Stacking Benjamins Show, Joe Saul-Sehy, O.G., and Doc G (Jordan Grumet) are joined by Nick Maggiulli, Chief Operating Officer at Ritholtz Wealth Management and author of Of Dollars and Data, to talk about lessons from his new book: The Wealth Ladder. Nick breaks down the six wealth levels, from scraping together your first emergency fund to navigating the complexities of generational wealth. They explore: Why increasing your income early on trumps frugality (sorry, coupon clippers). What “wealth plateaus” really look like, and how to recognize when your strategy needs to evolve. The hidden trap of goal obsession, featuring a cameo from world #1 golfer Scottie Scheffler. The true cost of career choices, and why opportunity cost might be the silent killer of long-term growth. Why content and code are two of the most powerful wealth-building levers available (especially when they scale without needing a lunch break). Whether you're stuck in Level 1 or fantasizing about Level 6, this episode has practical, perspective-shifting advice on building wealth—and more importantly, how to enjoy the process without losing your sense of purpose along the way. Stackers don’t just want to make money—they want to master it without letting it become their master. This conversation bridges income, investing, identity, and intention in a way that gives you both clarity and confidence. You might even stop worrying about skipping that $5 latte… or realize it’s time to start coding that app you keep talking about at parties.

In this installment of The Stacking Benjamins Show, Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Doug take you rung-by-rung through the wealth ladder—from humble beginnings at $10K all the way to $10 million—and explain how your financial priorities, risks, and strategies evolve as your net worth grows. How to avoid mismatched advice: Why taking financial tips meant for someone in a different stage can set you back instead of move you forward. Net worth brackets and behavior shifts: What you should be thinking about at $10K, $100K, $1 million, and beyond—and what not to worry about yet. When Roth IRA conversions make sense—and when they really don’t: With new legislation impacting retirement tax planning, Joe and OG break down the implications with help from Robert Powell of The Street. Diversification, risk, and behavioral pitfalls: What the pros get wrong and how to stay grounded no matter how big your stack grows. Community-driven insights: From listener milestones to new Stacking Benjamins swag sightings, you’ll hear how Stackers are winning in their own lives. As always, the team weaves in laughter, sarcasm, and that unmistakable basement charm—complete with Doug’s new mug, a calendar confusion history lesson, and a household disaster caused by what can only be described as “revenge rain.” A Robin Williams–themed trivia segment to warm your heart (and test your memory) Batty Betty’s wild TikTok take on relationship finance Practical investing and estate planning ideas that don’t make your eyes glaze over Why You’ll Love This Episode:If you’re trying to level up without falling prey to the one-size-fits-all advice machine, this episode delivers a realistic blueprint. It’s equal parts roadmap and reminder: where you are right now matters more than where someone else thinks you should be. Stacker takeaway? Clarity beats comparison. Especially when it comes to money.

    How To Waste Your Life (or hopefully, not) SB1710

    Ever feel like you're working hard but getting nowhere? You're not alone—and you might be stuck in a productivity trap, not a purpose-driven plan. In this episode of The Stacking Benjamins Show, we tackle the big one: how to avoid wasting your life. (No pressure.) Joe Saul-Sehy kicks things off with a tongue-in-cheek nod to all the ways we fritter away time—before pivoting into a power-packed conversation on building meaningful goals and avoiding common life derailers. He’s joined by two all-star minds in money and behavior: Paula Pant from Afford Anything, who reminds us that "you can afford anything—but not everything," and Jordan Grumet from Earn & Invest, who offers the life-and-death perspective (literally—he’s a hospice doctor) on why we need to act now, not later. Together with OG and Doug, the roundtable unpacks six common ways people unknowingly waste their lives, including: Being "busy" instead of effective Letting fear of failure hijack your plans Overthinking every move Paralysis from too many choices Constant hustle with no progress Indecision dressed up as careful planning You’ll hear hard-earned lessons, subtle mindset shifts, and tips for creating financial and personal momentum. Plus: The surprising link between indecision and regret, backed by Dr. Ellen Langer’s research Smart strategies for eliminating distractions and taking better action The difference between motion and movement—especially when it comes to your goals and your money And, of course, we sprinkle in some classic basement banter, a rowdy trivia throwdown, and Joe’s favorite kind of weekend preview (the kind where no one actually follows their own advice). Why this episode is worth your time: Whether you’re staring down your 2025 goals or still recovering from a rough Q1, this is your shot of clarity. No judgment—just real talk from people who’ve been there, made the spreadsheet, and occasionally lit it on fire. 🎯 You’ll walk away with: A clearer idea of what’s holding you back Practical ways to structure smarter financial goals Permission to stop doing all the things and start doing the right things FULL SHOW NOTES: https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/how-to-waste-your-time-on-stupid-stuff-1710/ Learn more about your ad choices.

    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.
