  • AI, Debt, and a Social Security Shortfall. Should Your Money Plans Change? With Rob Berger

    AI, Debt, and a Social Security Shortfall. Should Your Money Plans Change? With Rob Berger
    Oct 2 2026
    #755: Many retirees fear running out of money more than they fear dying. AI is reshaping the economy, the U.S. now spends over $1 trillion on interest, and Social Security faces a shortfall. Rob Berger says if you're worried about all that, it's a sign you're thinking clearly. Rob Berger is a former securities lawyer, founder of the personal finance site Dough Roller, and host of a nearly 300,000-subscriber YouTube channel on investing and retirement planning. He started writing about money in 2007, just months before the Great Recession. In this episode, we discuss: How to tell whether today's high stock prices should change your plan When to trim a stock that's grown too big, and when to let it ride Why a booming economy can still leave so many people feeling squeezed What a looming Social Security shortfall could mean for your retirement How to cover your basic bills with guaranteed income, whatever markets do How to ease into retirement instead of going from 40 hours to zero Why daily spending habits matter more than investing knowledge Whether you're five years from retirement or five years into your career, this episode will help you separate what's truly changing from what never does. 🔗 RESOURCES MENTIONED RETIREMENT WORRIES FEEL OVERWHELMING?

  • Q&A: We Have $80K in Cash and Want a 1–2 Year Sabbatical. Is It Enough?

    Q&A: We Have $80K in Cash and Want a 1–2 Year Sabbatical. Is It Enough?
    Sep 29 2026
    #754: Four months of savings in the bank, a goal of eight, and a career break she's excited to fund. Does everything else really have to wait? Paula and Joe's answer: don't turn your emergency fund into an emergency. A 42-year-old UK listener asks how to split money between an emergency fund, a career break, and retirement. Then we map out a 30-something couple's sabbatical and ask whether you can objectively grade a politician on the economy. In this episode, we discuss: How to tell a true emergency from an expense you know is coming How to rank competing savings goals when you can't fund them all How to protect retirement without putting your life on hold How to cover a sabbatical when your cash runs short Why low-income years are a prime window for Roth conversions How to test whether you can stomach an all-stock portfolio How to judge a politician's economic record without the spin If you're juggling short-term plans and long-term goals and feel pulled in every direction, this episode will help you decide what gets funded first, and what can wait. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS Note: Timestamps may vary slightly depending on dynamic ad placements.

  • Why 60,000 New York Apartments Sit Empty in a Housing Crisis, with Kenny Burgos

    Why 60,000 New York Apartments Sit Empty in a Housing Crisis, with Kenny Burgos
    Sep 25 2026
    #753: New York City is short roughly half a million homes, yet at least 60,000 rent-regulated apartments sit empty. Under current rules, many owners lose less money by leaving them vacant than by fixing them up. Kenny Burgos is CEO of the New York Apartment Association, which represents owners of rent-stabilized buildings, and a former New York State Assemblymember from the Bronx. In this episode, we discuss: How New York's rent rules work, and why they've lasted since 1969 Why the typical New Yorker pays about $1,600 while listings ask $5,500 Why some buildings now sell for $50,000 an apartment, and why that isn't a deal How a rent freeze pushes costs onto market-rate renters and delayed repairs Why a targeted rent freeze for seniors and disabled residents works better What Vienna's housing model accounts for that New York's doesn't What aspiring landlords should weigh before buying rent-regulated property Whether you own rentals, hope to, or just want to understand the rent-control debate, this episode shows what happens when costs keep rising and rents can't. 🔗 RESOURCES MENTIONED 👉 Ready to buy your first rental property, or get more out of the one you already own?
