S4 E12: "I'm considering moving across the country with my partner. How hard is it to start over?"

February 08, 2023 15:00 - 30 minutes - 21 MB

TODAY'S QUESTION: Hi aunties! My partner and I have been long distance since we got together, and just recently they had to move back home because of Covid. The state they live in is very cheap, they will be there for 4 years getting a business degree, and they've made several offers for me to move in with them. But it's over 900 miles away and they are the only person I know there. How do I decide if I should move and when I should do it? LIKE THIS SHOW AND WANT US TO KEEP DOING IT? Show ...

S4 E11: "My boss kept my tips. Is that legal—or did she steal from me?"

January 31, 2023 18:00 - 27 minutes - 18.7 MB

TODAY'S QUESTION: So I just got hired at this really small literal mom and pop cafe in the town I just moved to. When I was hired, the one owner told me I would get “$14 an hour plus cash tips.” Maybe I’m just fuckin stupid, but I didn’t realize that that meant literally only the cash tips and I would not get paid any of the tips that people leave when they pay with a credit card. I asked her about credit card tips today and that’s when she told me, very coldly, “Like I told you yesterday an...

S4 E9: “I’m on the wrong career path. How do I convince a new industry to take a chance on me?”

January 18, 2023 17:00 - 25 minutes - 17.8 MB

TODAY'S QUESTION: I recently got a new job with a big pay increase, better hours, more job security, etc., but now I've realized that I hate the career path I'm on right now. I'm a manufacturing supervisor and I don't want to manage people forever and I hate the capitalistic crunch to bleed my employees dry for revenue. I don't want to take a step back down in salary though. I've been thinking about looking for a career coach or a recruiter to try to figure out what kind of different jobs I ...

S4 E8: "I'm queer, and I want to find a place to retire. How do I balance safety with cost of living?"

January 10, 2023 18:00 - 29 minutes - 20.6 MB

TODAY'S QUESTION: Something has been really bothering me as my spouse and I try to plan our future. We're both looking toward early retirement and every single bit of advice I see for where to retire... just doesn't take into account being gay. At all. All the "retire here for the lowest taxes and best chance at a good life" advice points to states with awful track records about all queer stuff ever (looking at you, Florida-Alabama-Louisiana-Montana). My queer heart is so frustrated that I'm...

S4 E7: “A coworker smells bad. How do I address this super awkward issue at work?”

January 03, 2023 17:00 - 30 minutes - 21.3 MB

TODAY'S QUESTION: A waiter in the restaurant where I work smells bad and almost the whole staff has complained about his particular odor. The thing is, we (as management) don’t know how to address this issue because he is sort of sensitive (he has cried on the job over small verbal warnings). Any advice on how to approach this with him? I know it has to be one of us and in private but I don’t even know which words to use. LIKE THIS SHOW AND WANT US TO KEEP DOING IT?

S4 E6: "I'm not feeling challenged at work anymore. Does that mean it's time to move on?"

December 20, 2022 17:00 - 22 minutes - 15.4 MB

TODAY'S QUESTION: I work for a start-up that grew from 25 people to 250 in the last year and a half, since I've been with them. I have a generous paycheck, great benefits, and a vesting agreement that I'm halfway through (but I know those shares aren't worth a dime if I can't sell them), I like the work that I do okay enough. This is my first full-time job. I'm curious about what else is out there. What else I could be paying attention to. What other projects I could spend my time on. How do...

S4 E5: "401(k)s aren't offered in my industry. How do I save for retirement if my employer won't help?"

December 14, 2022 15:00 - 23 minutes - 16.3 MB

TODAY'S QUESTION: How do I save for retirement without a 401(k)? Whenever people talk about saving for retirement they mention 401(k)s and pensions, but I don't have any of that. I work in the service industry and I have an IRA. I want to know how to prioritize and plan for retirement without that big fancy 401(k). LIKE THIS SHOW AND WANT US TO KEEP DOING IT?

S4 E4: "I'm $100k in student loan debt and I think it should be forgiven. Does this make me an entitled asshole?"

December 06, 2022 17:00 - 28 minutes - 19.3 MB

TODAY'S QUESTION: I have over 100k in student loan debt, and I keep meeting other people with student loan debt that wax poetic about how they feel like “their money belongs to the department of education” and “they owe it to the country to pay that money back” “I made a commitment, I don’t want loan forgiveness” and sentiments of that nature. Am I entitled or being an asshole by feeling like: I’m paying mine back because I have to, but I don’t see anything noble about it and if I could get ...

S4 E1 "Index Funds Include Unethical Companies. Can I Still Invest in Them, or Does That Make Me a Monster?"

November 15, 2022 19:00 - 32 minutes - 22.5 MB

TODAY'S QUESTION: I take it you have investments in broad-based index funds (since it's the prudent thing to do)? At the same time, many of your posts have an anti-capitalist bent. How do you address this conflict? Mind you, I'm not pointing fingers here, because I'm in much the same situation—private equity overlords booted me out of a job, but my own capitalistic investments allowed me to walk away without any pain, so I don't know how to feel about that. A pat answer is to point towards ...

BONUS: "What can I do to prepare for life in a post-Roe world?"

May 10, 2022 18:00 - 30 minutes - 21 MB

In a good timeline, no one would have to prepare for a post-Roe world. Reproductive rights would be safely enshrined in our constitution, where they belong. Plus, ice cream would never melt. Unfortunately, last week’s news made it abundantly clear that we’re in a crappy timeline. I accepted this news with horror, but not surprise. My faith in my elected representatives is as melty as a tub of Americone Dream left on the counter overnight. But this isn’t the time to despair. It’s time to ta...

S3 E12 "I'm done with evil bosses and toxic workplaces. Can I stand up without being hammered down?"

December 30, 2021 16:00 - 19 minutes - 13.1 MB

TODAY'S QUESTION: I have worked at a string of less than perfect places with toxic managers and owners. As a feisty Capricorn, all I want to do in my exit interview is to read the toxic motherfuckers I work under for filth. To say “You overwork us, lean on staff to the extreme, don’t respect our personal lives, force people to come in sick, and engage in serial wage theft!” But I live in a big small town where the owners of these places all know each other.   After some serious self-reflect...

December 23, 2021 14:00 - 23 minutes - 16.1 MB

TODAY'S QUESTION: How do I get people to take me seriously? I (24f) have a bubbly personality. I’m kind, I do well with children and babies, and I like to have fun. I throw themed parties for special occasions. I like to bake, I like to go dancing with my friends, and I dress in a very feminine way.

S3 E9: "My partner and I want kids in a few years. How do we financially prepare for a baby?"

December 09, 2021 15:00 - 24 minutes - 17.2 MB

TODAY'S QUESTION: I am lucky to finally be getting paid what I'm worth. I’m making progress on basic financial goals like a robust emergency fund, funding my future retirement accounts, etc, so I’m ready to start focusing my energies on some more personal goals. My husband and I are thinking about expanding our family and trying to have kids. We are thrilled but nervous!  Strangely, while parenting advice is all over the place, there's not a lot of advice I can find about financial milestone...

S3 E8: "Should I get married for tax purposes? My boyfriend swears we'd save money, but I'm not so sure..."

December 02, 2021 14:00 - 23 minutes - 16.2 MB

TODAY'S QUESTION: For long term partners, what are the financial benefits of getting married? Why not just continue to live with my significant other and not legally tie the knot? My partner seems to think that our taxes would be way lower if we were to get married, but I'm not so sure. Yes, there is the added safety net of being on your partner's health insurance if you lose your job… but I'm not sure if that is enough to outweigh the financial consequences of divorce, etc. Along the same l...

S3 E7: "I'm finished with the basic shit! What're the advanced financial steps that only rich people know?"

November 19, 2021 14:00 - 22 minutes - 15.6 MB

TODAY'S QUESTION: What do you do when you finally have money for the first time?  I don't have consumer debt, I’ve paid off my student loans, I have an emergency fund, I’m maxing out my 401K... so now what? So many blogs on money stop at this point. But for real, what do "rich" people do with their money once the basics are covered?  Is it worth it to have a financial advisor? What percentage of your money should be kept in savings versus investments? What kind of investments are smart? Ho...

S3 E6: "I'm going through a long hiring process. Is it a red flag when an employer demands too many interviews?"

November 11, 2021 14:00 - 24 minutes - 16.5 MB

TODAY'S QUESTION: My dream organization recently posted an open position. I knew I had to apply or I'd regret it and to my delight, I've now done a phone interview and a Zoom interview with the supervisor and President of the organization. I haven't heard back yet (it's only been 48 hours since the second interview), but I do know they are doing "multiple rounds" of interviews. So I have at least one more round before they make a decision. My problem is, if I do get to advance to the next in...

November 04, 2021 13:00 - 19 minutes - 13.4 MB

We are almost done with a "Phase 1" of our project and will soon be starting a "Phase 2." I legit don't have time with my other work to continue to be PM for this client, but I also just don't want to. Should I try to get out of being the PM and take whatever "hit" by "quitting" this client, or should I figure out how to stick i...

October 28, 2021 13:00 - 21 minutes - 14.5 MB

Today's Question: How do I stop feeling scared about money all the time? I'm objectively in a great financial situation. Despite that, every time I hit a new financial milestone, the goalpost just moves. It went from "I'll feel less worried about money with a 3-month emergency fund" to 6 months to 9 months to 12 months to 12 months assuming my expenses were higher than they currently are.  I feel like a dragon compulsively trying to build a pile of gold that will never be enough.

TODAY'S QUESTION: Do you have any advice for little boos about what to look for in a financial advisor, what to expect from one, when and if it makes sense to hire one? I’m in nursing school right now, but once I start my new career, is it worthwhile for me to see an advisor early on? Or is it too expensive to be worth it until you have at least a couple of stacks?

Today's Question I’m about to turn 18 and I’ve really appreciated seeing all your advice and resources. I was unlucky enough to have a family member die a few years back, and they left me a good amount of money, reassuring but not life-changing. I won’t have access to it until I’m 21, so this is by no means urgent, but with all my preparing for independence I’ve started thinking about what to do when I can access it.

TODAY'S QUESTION: My spouse and I are disagreeing about paying for college for our children, ages 4 and 1. I paid my own way through college and scraped by without loans through scholarships, choosing an affordable institution, working countless part-time jobs, and eating a lot of Kraft mac & cheese. My partner's college and housing expenses were paid for by his parents entirely. I know that I worked harder in college because I was paying for it, more than I would have if my parents were foo...
