You can afford anything, but not everything. We make daily decisions about how to spend money, time, energy, focus and attention – and ultimately, our life. How do we make smarter decisions? How do we think from first principles? On the surface, Afford Anything seems like a podcast about money and investing. But under the hood, this is a show about how to think critically, recognize our behavioral blind spots, and make smarter choices. We’re into the psychology of money, and we love metacognition: thinking about how to think. In some episodes, we interview world-class experts: professors, researchers, scientists, authors. In other episodes, we answer your questions, talking through decision-making frameworks and mental models. Want to learn more? Download our free book, Escape, at http://affordanything.com/escape.

    Q&A: Why Do I Still Feel Anxious When I’m Clearly Doing Well?

    #722: Free lesson: affordanything.com/mistakes Ask us a question: affordanything.com/voicemail What happens when your financial plan is technically working — but emotionally, it still doesn’t feel secure? Caitlin and her husband have their core expenses covered, but her side hustle brings in an extra $600 a month. With young kids, daycare costs, and long-term retirement goals all competing for attention, she’s wondering where that extra money should go right now. Anonymous is in a strong financial position for retirement, with a pension, solid investments, and high savings rates—but is still constantly checking accounts, rerunning projections, and struggling to feel at peace with money. Charlotte is calling back several years after asking whether short-term rentals could fund her early retirement. After buying, renovating, and eventually selling two Airbnb properties—just before a devastating hurricane hit the area—she’s reflecting on what she learned about risk, hype, and investing with emotion.

    First Friday: Fed Rate Hike Coming? Jobs & Housing News
    Jun 5 2026
    #721: The US economy showed robust job growth in May, adding 172,000 new jobs, exceeding expectations. This suggests a broadening of economic recovery beyond essential services. Treasury yields have climbed significantly, reflecting investor concerns about inflation. Inflation remains a significant concern, driven largely by surging energy costs. And there's good news emerging in prescription drug prices. We're going to discuss all of this and more in the June 2026 First Friday episode.

  • Q&A: When the "Right" Decision Feels Harder Than The Math

    Q&A: When the "Right" Decision Feels Harder Than The Math
    Jun 3 2026
    #720: At what point does making the “right” financial decision start to feel emotionally harder than the math itself? Rebecca: is wondering whether the Rule of 72 means she can ease up on retirement contributions—or whether continuing to max out her Roth 401(k) is still the smarter move despite multiple mortgages, car loans, and college savings goals. Kate: feels trapped between the math and psychology of homeownership. A low-interest rental property could be sold to dramatically reduce a much larger 7 percent mortgage, but she’s struggling with whether giving up that “golden” loan would be a long-term mistake. Emily: is now just a few years away from early retirement, but after watching his net worth grow rapidly during the bull market, he’s finding that the closer he gets to financial independence, the harder it becomes to emotionally trust that he finally has enough.
