  • Q&A: What Nepal Reveals About Wealth and Safety

    Q&A: What Nepal Reveals About Wealth and Safety
    Sep 1 2026
    #746: We begin today’s episode with a discussion of the disastrous flash flooding in Nepal, a personal topic for Paula given her family there. There’s both a human story, one of the resilience of the Nepalese people and the strong community bonds there, and an economic story, where poor infrastructure and a lack of economic development have hindered disaster response and exacerbated the tragedies of recent events. Listeners can donate to help the victims here: The Prime Minister Relief Fund: https://pmdrf.nchl.com.np/ Caritas Nepal: https://www.caritasnepal.org/donate-now/ Learn more about the ongoing rescue efforts at https://help.ekantipur.com/ A caller wants to put part of her mom's $80,000 home-sale proceeds into an annuity — and it left her financial-planner co-host doing a double take. Turns out it might be the first caller in the show's history the product was actually built for. This week's Q&A tackles two retirement questions from listeners: when it makes sense to ease off maxing out a 401k in favor of a more flexible brokerage account, and whether a guaranteed-income annuity is the right move for a retiree who isn't great at managing money on her own. In this episode, we discuss: How to know when to stop maxing out your 401k and start filling a taxable brokerage account instead The real "deal" you're making with the government every time you use a tax-advantaged account Why an insurance company can keep 100% of the money if the annuity holder dies too soon — and how to avoid it The one type of person a guaranteed-income annuity is actually built for A simple daily habit trick for building consistency, borrowed from a world-class choreographer Why doing everything right doesn't guarantee a good outcome, and what that means for your own decisions What Nepal's disaster response reveals about the real payoff of economic development Whether you're mapping out an early-retirement bridge or helping a parent build guardrails around a windfall, this episode will help you think more clearly about the trade-offs each option carries. 🔗 RESOURCES MENTIONED 👉 Not sure which investments belong in your 401k, your Roth, or your taxable account?

  • The Four Kinds of Rich Nobody Counts -- with Sahil Bloom [GREATEST HITS]

    The Four Kinds of Rich Nobody Counts -- with Sahil Bloom [GREATEST HITS]
    Aug 28 2026
    #745: A friend once asked Sahil Bloom how often he saw his parents. About once a year, Sahil said. How old are they? Mid-60s. His friend did the math out loud. If they live to 80, you'll see them 15 more times. Sahil was 30, living in California and making great money at a venture fund. Within 45 days of that conversation, he quit his job, sold his house and moved across the country to be near family. He's now managing partner of SRB Ventures, an early-stage fund backing more than 60 startups, and he writes The Curiosity Chronicle, a newsletter read by millions. His book, "The 5 Types of Wealth," is a New York Times bestseller. His framework starts with a scoring problem. Financial wealth gets measured every day. Time, social, mental and physical wealth run in the background, unmeasured, until something forces you to look. You'll get exercises for each. Build an energy calendar that tracks which activities charge you up and which drain you. Map your relationships by how healthy and how frequent they are. Ask what your family and your community need from you. Define what "enough" means in dollars, then write the number down. Sahil also walks through anti-goals — the things you refuse to sacrifice on the way to a goal — and Memento Mori, the Roman habit of keeping your own death in view. Two questions run underneath all of it. Think about how you spent yesterday. Would your 10-year-old self be impressed? Would your 90-year-old self? You don't experience all four seasons in a single day. Sahil argues your life runs on seasons too. Some stretches call for financial growth. Others call for family.
