Less is More: Simplifying Wealth for a Richer Life
Mom always said, "You can do more with less," but is that really true? Another popular line is, "problems are always more fun to show up to in a limo!" Today we'll clear up the clutter from your life, talk about how to determine what is "enough," and see what chasing too many "things" can do to your spirit. It's true: less truly often IS more and we're going to help you cut away.
It's a sad day on the show because contributor Paulette Perhach is ending her nine-month run of filling in for Paula Pant, but we make the most of Paulette's expertise, along with that of the woman behind Simplify and Enjoy, Elle Martinez. Elle's a pro at teaching people how to do more with less and she helps our team help you today...along with the amazing Len Penzo from award-winning blog Len Penzo dot com.
Of course, at the halfway mark of today's show, we'll continue our year-long trivia challenge between our contributors. Can Paulette leave tied for first with Len? Can Len pull ahead? Can Elle help OG get back into the race? You'll find out today.

Can You Finally Trust Annuities? Is Crypto For You? What's The Future of Money? (with Ric Edelman)
Ric Edelman has opinions, and they're both well-researched and timely. We pick his brain on annuities, crypto, central bank digital currency, and the future of money. Ric's book, The Truth About Money, was a revolutionary and even-handed look at money way back in 1996. We're sure you'll find his take on modern money as riveting still today.
Plus, in our headline segment, what's going on with your credit? A new study from Tranunion shows that credit scores are a-changing. How? We'll share.
Of course, we'll save time for Doug's trivia and more!

Running Slow AF Toward Your (Big) Goals (with Martinus Evans)
You've heard the term "get rich slowly"? Today we're inspiring you to jump in the race! Martinus Evans was told, that as a 300 pound-plus man, that he was too heavy to run marathons. His doctor laughed in his face. Today he's been on the cover of Runners' World, sponsored by Adidas, and leads one of the country's largest running groups, the Slow AF Running Club. If you aren't inspired to jump over your fear, lace up your budgeting shoes, and get moving toward your goals today, I don't know how much more we can do to help! He's that inspiring.
Plus, in our headline segment a recent blog post from a popular blogger rubbed us the wrong way. We'll dive into why you should maybe think differently than THIS blogger AND differently than most other people.
Of course, we have an AMAZING TikTok minute that'll show you how the world truly (probably) was built, throw the Haven Life line out to Jon who goes on and on about Doug's mom…and more!

How One Woman Flipped Five Dollars Into Millions
Mignon Francois was down to her last five dollars. Her power had been turned off and she flipped on a generator only at night so her kids would have some "normal" in their life. But things weren't normal then, and would be even less normal as she flipped that last five dollars into a cupcake empire. She'll share the story today that'll make you realize that you CAN do that thing that's been frightening you.
First, though, in our headline segment Social Security is in the news. It turns out that some Americans don't receive any of America's largest social program benefits. What does this have to do with your planning, even if you DO qualify? We'll share.
Of course, Doug's ready with some cupcake empire trivia AND we'll also throw the Haven Life line all the way "across the pond" to the UK, where James has a question that our Stackers around the world probably have all asked themselves before.

Thrill on a Budget: Save Big and Have a Blast at Theme Parks
Summer is here! Robert Niles kicks off our summer season by sharing deals and thrills around the nation's theme parks. We ask Mr. Theme Park Insider himself about how we can save money when we take the family but also (and maybe more importantly) how we actually make the day more fun so that it's worth the money we pay. Robert delivers on both fronts, with both wallet-saving and excitement-upping tips. We talk about some of the best theme parks in the USA plus the "big boys" of Disney and Universal.
Plus, in our headline, one bank CEO thinks that we should impose some rules around "short selling." What is short selling anyway? How can people pick on "short" so much? We'll explore all of that.
Of course, Doug will share some of his mouth-watering trivia AND we'll answer a fantastic question from the state of Wisconsin...proving that even though we thought Doug ruined it for us, this midwestern state still finds a way to love us.

Customer Reviews
These dorks are awesome
I was skeptical at first, there just aren’t enough middle aged white guys talking about money on the internet. After a few episodes, I was hooked. I’ve learned more about managing my personal finances (and life) from these dorks and their guests than I did in the 15 years before listening to other “experts” who shall not be named but have a #1 radio show. They have such diverse guests, I get exposed to so many new, interesting voices and ideas here.
If you like podcasts, this is one.
What can I say about these guys that hasn't already been said? Not a lot, as it turns out. Maybe listen if you want.
I’m done with this podcast
Loved the show until the guys sold out. Tolerated it for a while until today when they started promoting a religious anti LBTQ company (to be fair, that’s NOT how they promoted it). I won’t be fooled by rebranding; I’m betting that the bigotry is still alive and well. Giant religious entities are trying to take over the country any way they can after getting the green light from a psychopath for four years. What’s next? The stupid pillow guy? Paula, you are absolutely the best but if you start down that road, I’ll be done with you too. Adding on. I tried again but the bible thumper on the 5/24/23 episode was too much. I believe in the separation of church and podcast. Save it for Sunday, lady.
