Hosts Joe Saul-Sehy (former 16-year financial advisor, ex-WXYZ-TV “Money Man”) and Josh “OG” Bannerman, CFP (Certified Financial Planner, Bannerman Wealth) sit around the card table in Joe’s mom’s half-finished basement in Texarkana and talk money with the smartest guests in personal finance, investing, and behavioral economics. As Fast Company wrote, the show “strikes a great balance of fun and functional.” Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: expert guests, real headlines, listener questions, and Doug’s trivia. Topics include investing, retirement planning, budgeting, real estate, behavioral finance, taxes, and financial independence — for anyone who wants to be smarter about money without being talked down to.

He also bought into the South Sea Bubble, sold for a profit, watched it keep climbing, bought back in out of pure FOMO, and rode it all the way down to an 80% loss that haunted him until he died.

Anna also helps a Stacker named Louie untangle his 401(k) sources and figure out whether it's finally time to bring in a professional. What You'll Walk Away With Why Isaac Newton's South Sea Bubble loss still ranks among history's most instructive investing failures -- and why it had nothing to do with intelligence Ben's framework for why risk means something completely different depending on where you are in your life cycle -- and why a market crash genuinely doesn't matter the same way to a 25-year-old and a 55-year-old The wrong lesson an entire generation learned from 2008 -- and why everyone preparing for the last crisis missed the next seventeen years of bull market Why Japan's three-decade stock market bubble is the best real-world case for diversification -- and why it doesn't translate as cleanly to the US as people assume The behavioral reason complex investment strategies are easy to sell and nearly impossible to hold through a downturn -- while simple strategies survive the pain Why Ben's firm discovered that the hardest financial transition isn't saving for retirement -- it's ac…","meta_description":"Thanks to Surfshark for sponsoring the show.
