    If you listened to this week's episode with Michelle Singletary, personal finance columnist at the Washington Post, you know just how smart she can be about saving and investing, for her goals and for her family's long-term goals.

She woke up one morning and she found that she had the elusive perfect credit score of 850. Listen in to hear how she did it. Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 06:00 Living below your means 09:00 Balancing college plans and retirement 14:00 The 21-day financial fast Takeaways: Achieving a perfect credit score means paying all your bills on time and maintaining a very low credit utilization.

  • Ep 448: Money Goals For Every Decade

    Ep 448: Money Goals For Every Decade
    Nov 6 2024
    Getting older is pretty incredible. And that’s not just our opinion — lately, on the HerMoney podcast, we’ve been talking to some amazing women who have shown us that getting old is actually a life-affirming experience. We recently chatted with Tamsen Fadal on reinventing your career in your 50s. There was also Gwen Bounds, who took up Spartan Racing at age 47, and Bonnie Hammer who started a family in her 40’s. These women have shown us that there’s no timeline for accomplishing all of your dreams. Michelle Singletary, personal finance columnist at the Washington Post, joins us to share some of the goals we should be meeting — or striving to meet — in every decade of our lives. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Jean’s Reflections on Turning 60 06:00 Financial Milestones for Your 30s 09:00 Financial Milestones for Your 40s 11:00 Financial Milestones for Your 50s 17:00 Financial Milestones for Your 60s and Beyond 32:00 Mailbag Question 1: What are the pros and cons of taking out a reverse mortgage? 38:00 Mailbag Question 2: I received a large settlement as part of my divorce. How should I invest it? TAKEAWAYS: Developing a healthy hatred for debt is crucial for financial success. Investing early and often is key to building wealth. Health should be prioritized to avoid future financial burdens. Creating a spending plan can help manage financial anxiety in retirement. Planning for retirement should involve sitting down with your partner and aligning on goals. Traveling and enjoying life should be part of retirement planning.

  • The 2024 Election And Your Wallet

    The 2024 Election And Your Wallet
    Nov 1 2024
    We are right on the eve of what is going to be a truly pivotal election. And this year, more than many others, it seems there's a unique urgency in the air. At least part of that is because each candidate has pledged to make changes to critical facets of American life — including to our personal finances. Catherine Rampell, nationally syndicated opinion columnist at the Washington Post, joins us to dissect the issues and how the 2024 election can impact the broader financial system (and our personal economies). CHAPTERS: 00:00 Understanding Voter Awareness and Candidate Platforms 02:59 Inflation: Candidates' Influence and Economic Policies 09:05 Price Gouging and Its Implications 12:03 Student Loan Proposals and Their Impact 14:54 Social Security: Candidates' Stances and Future Challenges 18:08 Tax Policies and Their Economic Implications 21:01 Stock Market Trends and Candidate Influence TAKEAWAYS: Inflation remains a top concern for American voters but Presidents have limited control over inflation and price levels. The Federal Reserve's independence is vital for economic stability. Student loan proposals vary significantly between candidates. Social Security faces financial challenges regardless of the elected candidate. Tax policies proposed by candidates could have long-term economic implications. Stock market performance is influenced by various factors beyond presidential control. Learn more about our Finance Fixx program here. Use code PODCAST for a $100 discount.
