Friday Flight - Forever Mortgages, Ruining Reward Cards & Free Tax Filing Fail #1062

Everywhere you look, people are talking about AI. Some say it’s going to save the world; others think it might break it. But while the headlines focus on sci-fi futures and big-tech battles, we’re interested in something a little closer to home: what does all of this actually mean for us as everyday, DIY investors – today, and over the next decade? Fortunately, we don’t have to wing it. Vanguard’s global chief economist, Joseph Davis, has been studying the forces shaping our financial future – AI included. And in his new book, Coming Into View, he breaks down the megatrends that are poised to reshape the investing landscape. Today we discuss:
 
 • How Vanguard's mission focuses on aligning investor interests with their work
 • Predictions about lower future returns are based on economic fundamentals
 • AI's impact on productivity will extend beyond the tech sector
 • Cost management in investments is crucial for long-term success
 • Demographics alone do not determine economic growth outcomes
 • The importance of diversification in investment portfolios remains unchanged
 • Investors should stress-test their financial goals against potential market scenarios
 • And much more!

Friday Flight - Ridiculous Car Refinancing, Occupation Consternation, & Ads Everywhere #1059

Nearly 100 years ago, economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that we’d be working 15-hour weeks by now due to gains in productivity and technology. Tim Ferriss claims that you can pretty much do it all in a 4-hour workweek! Neither of those seem plausible but our guest today takes a much more reasonable approach and says that 4-day work weeks are not only feasible but can lighten the load, allowing us to live more life – all while being more productive! Juliet Schor is an economist and professor of sociology at Boston College and is best known for her research on work, consumption, and economic inequality. Some of the topics discussed today include:
 
 • How cultural attitudes towards work can hinder progress
 • Four-day work week can improve productivity and employee satisfaction
 • Companies are beginning to recognize the benefits of shorter work weeks
 • People often prioritize work over personal life due to societal pressures
 • Ways to advocate and push for a more reasonable work week
 • Navigating a post-growth world requires reevaluating consumption habits
 • No amount of money can compensate for more work among certain workers
 • And plenty more!
 
 
 
Want more How To Money in your life? Here are some additional ways to get ahead with your personal finances:
