Friday Flight - Stealthy Skimpflation, Janky Job Markets, & Day-Trading Doris #1101

Money fights are one of the most common, and most damaging, sources of tension in a relationship. Whether it’s spending, debt, or mismatched financial goals, those arguments can quietly erode trust and connection over time. But here’s the good news: money doesn’t have to be the thing that drives couples apart. When partners develop healthy financial habits and learn how to communicate about money, it can actually strengthen their relationship. Which is why we’re excited to welcome Dr. Sonya Lutter to the show today. She’s both a marriage therapist and a financial planner, and she leads the Financial Health & Wellness program at Texas Tech. She brings a rare, research-backed perspective on how couples can keep money from becoming a stumbling block and instead make it a source of teamwork. Today we discuss: 
 
 • How financial therapy combines finance and emotional support
 • Perception of financial wellness often differs from reality
 • Financial stress impacts decision-making abilities
 • Biological responses to stress affect financial decisions
 • Regular financial conversations can prevent conflicts
 • The most common relational dynamic that leads to money fights
 • How financial infidelity can be as damaging as sexual infidelity
 • And much more!

Friday Flight - ‘The Lipstick Effect’, Cheap Chinese EVs, & DIY Solar #1098

Jumbo shrimp. Open secret. Bittersweet. We call these oxymorons - ideas that shouldn't work together, yet somehow do. Most people put 'frugality' and 'hedonism' in that same category, assuming you can't have a blast while saving a buck. But our guest today, Annie Raser-Rowland, is here to shatter that myth. An Australian horticulturalist and author, Annie argues that true pleasure isn't bought, instead it’s found in the more sensual and free moments we overlook when we're too busy working to pay for things we don't need. Today, we’re exploring how to live an excellent, joy-filled life that doesn't require a massive income or a single dreaded coupon. We specifically touch on:
 
 • Spending a quarter of the typical person
 • Why Annie believes that experiences provide more joy than material possessions
 • How community and interdependence enrich our lives
 • Setting long-term goals can motivate frugal habits
 • Literary figures and role models can inspire us to live more fulfilling lives
 • Advertising influences our spending habits negatively
 • And plenty more!

Friday Flight - Richer Refunds, Best Costco Buys, & $3 Dinners (don’t have to be this sad!) #1095

The whiplash student loan borrowers have experienced over the past few years has been staggering. Payments paused, forgiveness promised, forgiveness blocked, repayment systems rewritten, and now wage garnishment is back on the table for some folks. It’s no wonder navigating student loans has become a specialized skill. Few people know that landscape better than attorney Stanley Tate. He’s helped hundreds of borrowers get out of default, qualify for forgiveness programs, secure affordable payments, negotiate settlements, stop garnishments, and even discharge student loans in bankruptcy. Through his blog, newsletter, and videos, Tate has offered guidance to countless others. Some of the topics covered today:
 
 • How much time borrowers in default have had to address the elephant in the room
 • Why income-driven repayment plans are crucial for many borrowers
 • Why private student loans are expected to see a resurgence
 • Borrowers often misunderstand their repayment options and forgiveness paths
 • How emotional decisions often overshadow financial reasoning in education funding
 • The biggest student loan mistake that his clients make
 • Living life fully is essential, even amidst student loan burdens
 • And much more!

Friday Flight - Points for Paying your Mortgage, Credit Card Consultants, & AI UBI (to each according to his need!) #1092

Our guest today is Nick Maggiulli. Nick is the Chief Operating Officer for Ritholtz Wealth Management and regularly writes over on his site: Of Dollars And Data. But he wasn’t always steeped in the world of finance and investing- before that he was a successful litigation consultant. And even though Nick has always had a heart for personal finance, it’s only been in the past 5 years that he began to seriously write about money. And his new book, Just Keep Buying, actually comes out tomorrow! We were lucky enough to get an early copy and couldn’t recommend it enough. Nick weaves insightful stories with actionable advice that is going to help anyone who reads it. During this discussion we talk about timing the market, Nick’s definition of dollar cost averaging, spending less time on investments and more time on growing income, and much more!
