How to Money

Let's talk about Social Security. More than music, clothing, or even political views, Social Security might be the single biggest generational fault line in America right now. Boomers are thrilled to finally be collecting on a promise decades in the making while Millennials and Gen Z are quietly wondering if there'll be anything left by the time we get there. And honestly? That concern isn't crazy! Social Security almost certainly isn't going away entirely, but it's probably not going to look exactly the same as it does today either. Mike Piper, CPA and Social Security expert, joins the show today to explore the future of Social Security, optimal claiming strategies, and how to plan for retirement amid uncertain benefits. Specifically covered: 
 
 • What happens when the trust fund is gone?!
 • Downsides of overly conservative financial plans 
 • Claiming strategies when we’re living longer
 • Adjusting plans after a health diagnosis
 • The Open Social Security strategy calculator
 • Taking opportunity cost into account
 • Early retirement considerations
 • Common mistakes with DIY investors
 • … and plenty more!

Friday Flight - Long Airport Lines, Rent In Installments, & Plasma Payday! #1119

This show exists to help you make smart decisions with your money. But if we’re being honest, How To Money might not be as necessary if the financial system weren’t so confusing in the first place. For a lot of people, navigating modern money realities feels like swimming in shark-infested waters with high stakes, unclear rules, and the potential for costly mistakes at every turn. Our guest today is Professor John Campbell, author of the book Fixed: Why Personal Finance is Broken and How to Make It Work for Everyone. John is an economics professor at Harvard, who believes the financial system has a responsibility to serve ordinary people with products they can understand, afford, and safely use. Today, we’re talking about what’s broken in personal finance and what real solutions could look like. We specifically discuss:
 
 • Disparities in financial products
 • Complexity in personal finance
 • Problematic financial products
 • Human behavior when it comes to money decisions
 • Dangers of loyalty
 • Limitations of individual responsibility
 • What a rebuilt financial system could look like
 • Balancing protection and freedom
 • … and additional topics!
