    What If We Asked, "How Much Do You Earn?" More Often? (with Maya Lau)

    What If We Asked, "How Much Do You Earn?" More Often? (with Maya Lau)

    Are you down with OPP? Award-winning former investigative journalist for the LA Times Maya Lau joins us to discuss exactly what would happen if we asked people how much money they earned. She's the host of a new podcast about OPP called "Other People's Pockets." She asks the uncomfortable questions about people's money, how they make it, and what they do with it. She shares her experiences with us about pulling back the curtain on the taboo topic of money so that you can feel confident diving into these conversations yourself.
    Plus, for today's headline we have a special guest interview with the Chief Gold Strategist for State Street Global Advisors, George Milling-Stanley. We talk about what the Federal Reserve's sustained interest rate hike campaign could mean for the price of gold. What utility does gold have in the real world? Does holding gold (and/or other precious metals) make sense for your portfolio? O.G. also shares his thoughts. Plus we throw out the Haven Lifeline to an semi-anonymous caller with an identity crisis about when it's appropriate to take over someone else's investment decisions.

The most entertaining finance podcast by far

I always look forward to listening to SB podcasts. I love all the “casts and characters” and their personalities. It is one of the rare finance themed podcasts that my 12 year old would actually enjoy listening to while in the car. Keep up the good work guys!

Fun and helpful!

Stacking Benjamins is my favorite financial podcast. The hosts have a good chemistry together and will make you laugh while teaching you a thing or two about personal finance. There’s plenty of good random stories too if you don’t feel like learning but want to surround yourself with good entertainers. Friday episodesare my favorite when they have guest contributors on like Len Penzo. Keep up the good work!
