Friday Flight - Illiterate Americans, Shrinking Shoulder Season, & Rate Hike Reactions #1197

Does anyone look at the U.S. healthcare system and think, "Yep, everything's working great"? Probably not. It's not because we don't have talented doctors or dedicated healthcare workers. It's because a growing web of corporate interests, distorted incentives, and financial middlemen has turned healthcare into one of the most expensive and frustrating systems in the developed world. In his new book, The Healthcare Heist, Dr. Jordan Grumet – who is also a personal finance podcaster, writer, & speaker – exposes how that happened. Medical bills remain a major source of debt and bankruptcy for American families, but Jordan argues that none of this is inevitable. More importantly, he lays out practical solutions to help individuals. Today we discuss:
 
 • The corporate influence on healthcare
 • Healthcare insurance complexity
 • Intimacy gap in doctor-patient relationship
 • Innovation in the US
 • The role of pharmaceutical companies
 • Medical tourism
 • Alternatives like health sharing
 • Learning from global healthcare models
 • Emotional side of money management
 • And much more!

Friday Flight - Guilt-Ridden Spending, Sneaking Socialism & Home Buying Help #1194

Financial caregiving is coming for you, whether you like it or not. Rich or poor. Married or single. Famous or anonymous. At some point, someone we love is likely to need us to step in and help care for them. And taking them to a doctor’s appointment is just the tip of the iceberg. Because when someone you love starts to need care, their financial life can very quickly become your financial problem, too. Bills. Bank accounts. Insurance. Investments. Long-term care. Even the question of who gets to make decisions when they can’t make them for themselves. You can put your fingers in your ears and hope you never have to deal with it. Or you can do something that’s much less painful: start preparing before there’s a crisis. We’re joined by Beth Pinsker and her new book, My Mother’s Money, is part memoir and part practical guide to navigating the financial realities of caring for an aging parent. We discuss:
 
 • The impact of celebrity deaths on estate planning awareness
 • Beth's insights on fighting for proper healthcare and rehab stays
 • Using savings, insurance, and safety nets for long-term care
 • When and how to have tough conversations about aging and finances
 • The importance of community, connection, and proactive planning
 • Practical advice for digital legacy and online account access
 • Lessons learned from caring for her mother that changed her perspective
 • And much more!

Friday Flight - 529 Hacking, Hollowed-Out Home Ec, & Sucky Stock Pickers #1191

Spain. Vietnam. Tanzania. Georgia… the one in Europe of course. Ever catch yourself daydreaming about building a life somewhere far beyond the borders of the US? There’s a lot to love about living here. But for many, the pull to see more of the world never really goes away. What’s fascinating is that moving abroad isn’t just a lifestyle decision, it can be a financial one too. Different countries come with different costs, and entirely different ways of thinking about work, money, community, and quality of life. Our guest today is Richelle, founder of Move Abroad Coach. She’s spent more than 12 years living across half a dozen countries and has helped over 3,000 people navigate the leap overseas. Through that work, she’s gained a unique perspective on how where you live can dramatically shape your life and finances… often in ways most people never stop to consider. Today, we’re talking about the real pros and cons of leaving your home country behind: the money, the mindset shifts, the tradeoffs, and the opportunities. Specific topics include:
 
 • Why Rochelle splurges on personal growth
 • Her first move abroad was a major learning experience
 • Moving abroad can be a financial strategy
 • It’s not a vacation… it’s real life in a new place
 • Remote work and self-employment make the move easier
 • Digital nomad visas open up more options
 • Healthcare can be far more affordable overseas
 • Families can absolutely move abroad too
 • Fit matters more than fantasy
 • And check out her 
Move Abroad Bootcamp • !

Ask HTM - Buying With Other People's Money, Vanguard Digital Advisors, & Money Gear 7 Celebrations #1189

Money anxiety is something we have all experienced in one way or another. Whether it’s student loans, trying to save up enough for a car, or even having enough money to make it to the end of the month- this stress is a very real thing. Covid-19 and its effects on our economy and our jobs have only exacerbated the issue. According to a recent Qualtrics report, 67% of people say they have higher levels of stress since the beginning of the health crisis. And money anxiety doesn’t just plague low-income earners. More personal stories and accounts have been shared in recent years of “rich” people willing to admit their own money anxieties: individuals making $100k or more are just as susceptible to living paycheck to paycheck. So in this episode we dive into some of the symptoms of money anxiety and then we recommend some practical steps we could all implement into our lives to reduce the amount of stress surrounding our personal finances.

During this episode we enjoyed a Sour Opal by Firestone Walker- thanks to our friend Josh for donating it to the show! And as we ramp up the podcast with an additional Friday episode every week, we could really use your help to spread the word- let friends and family know about How to Money! Hit the share button, subscribe if you’re not already a regular, and give us a quick review in Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
