Best friends Joel and Matt are the co-hosts of How to Money which is all about providing the knowledge & tools that normal folks need to thrive in areas like debt payoff, DIY investing, and crucial money tricks that will provide continuous help along your journey. We believe that access to unbiased and jargon-free personal finance guidance is more necessary than ever before. When you handle your money in a purposeful, thoughtful way that works for your lifestyle, you can really start living a rich life.

How to Money

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!

Friday Flight - Discount Burnout, Bubble Trouble, & Rejoicing Renters (plus roadkill, gold bars, more...) #1056

A financial advisor WON’T magically fix your money problems, but many folks assume that by hiring a professional, they’re well on their way to financial success. Maybe, but maybe not, because a bunch of different factors come into play. And who better to have this discussion with other than award-winning investor advocate and financial educator Pam Krueger. She began her career as a stockbroker before moving into financial media, where she created and co-hosted the PBS series MoneyTrack where her work emphasizes transparency, investor protection, and understanding how advisors are compensated. Pam is also the founder and CEO of Wealthramp, a platform that connects consumers with vetted fiduciary financial advisors and today we discuss: 
 
 • Determining if you should DIY or delegate
 • The one silver bullet in everyone’s financial journey
 • Conflicts of interest and the fiduciary standard
 • Fee-only advisors, unbiased advice without commissions
 • Expecting transparency in advisor fees
 • Paying for “meh” financial advice
 • Breaking up with an advisor if you’re unhappy

Figuring out your money is tough enough if you’re flying solo. Doing it with your partner ramps up the difficulty level because you're throwing in varied money history, habits, and goals. It can create a lot of friction! Our guests today have a lot of great advice for couples looking to do better with their finances and create a ‘team vibe’ with their partner.

Doug has built his own successful financial advisor firm while simultaneously tweeting hilarious memes.

Can Love Survive a Budget!? w/ Doug & Heather Boneparth #1052

With the Great Lockdown continuing to take its toll on the economy, mortgage rates are at near all-time lows so now is a great time to consider refinancing. Pouncing on these lower rates can lower our monthly mortgage payment, allowing us to free up some money that was being funneled towards housing. But what else should we consider? Are you a good candidate for a refinance? And then on top of that there are also costs involved in refinancing that can make it prohibitive. In this episode we discuss what you need to consider, some great reasons to refi, and how to make sure you are refinancing effectively.

During this episode we enjoyed an Old Tuffy by New Belgium- a big thanks to Maggy for donating this beer to the show this week! And if you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and give us a quick review in Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts- we’d love to hear from you.
