The Psychology of Money (Book Club)

Episode 47

Wednesday, October 25, 2023 • Duration 28:58

The Childfree Wealth Podcast, hosted by Bri Conn and Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP®, is a financial and lifestyle podcast that explores the unique perspectives and concerns of childfree individuals and couples. In this episode, Bri & Dr. Jay discuss key takeaways from The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel.

One of the primary takeaways is the hidden indicator of true wealth is freedom and flexibility. Managing your finances isn’t just about the numbers; it’s about what you can do with your money that truly matters. You’ll be reminded that while you won’t always be rational with money, it’s okay to instead focus on being reasonable. As part of this you’ll need to determine when enough is enough & come up with a way to manage your finances that lets you sleep at night.

Listen in as they further discuss these key takeaways & come back next month for a review of Essential Retirement Planning for Solo Agers by Sara Zeff Geber, PhD. If you have a book you’d like reviewed, let us know in the comments or email us at podcast@childfreewealth.com.

Unpacking Money Guilt

Episode 46

Wednesday, October 18, 2023 • Duration 27:51

Dr. Jay kicks off the conversation by discussing his upbringing and the notion of the "rent and ramen" phase, where you just have enough to cover your basic needs. However, even when you've achieved financial success, breaking free from the constant work ethic can be a daunting task. Bri, on the other hand, shares her journey from growing up with financial security to developing money guilt despite her privilege.

Together, they unravel the complex emotions tied to money guilt, from feeling unworthy of enjoying the fruits of your labor to the pressure of repaying the ones who supported you. They also shed light on how societal norms, like the Protestant work ethic, can make it difficult to transition into a more fulfilling life, even after achieving financial success.

Wednesday, October 4, 2023 • Duration 31:46

They'll leave you wondering if you've been unknowingly paying exorbitant fees for your investments. Bri's passionate reaction to these fees will resonate with anyone who's felt taken advantage of. Dr. Jay breaks down the shocking numbers and reveals the hidden costs that could be eating away at your wealth. Get ready for a reality check on fees and discover how you can take control of your financial future.

Activity: Look up your investment fees by ticker symbol using Morningstar or YahooFinance! List out your total investment along with the following fees if applicable: front load, deferred loan, expense ratio, 12b-1, & management if you have actively managed funds. Multiple your total investment by the fee percentage to get your fee in dollars. Ideally you’d be paying less than 0.2% in fees with the exception of 401k which are actively managed.
