Anne Lester knows money. She helped develop target date mutual funds at JP Morgan, headed retirement programs, and knew her stuff. But Anne, like many of us, is a spender at heart and has had to trick herself into great saving habits. How? We talk about the basics, which do NOT include skipping lattes or shaming yourself into saving more money. In fact, the truth about saving more money is hiding in plain site, and we dive in so you can finally begin or accelerate your journey TODAY.
Before that, though, in our headline segment, the United State government is cracking down on credit card late fees. The Biden administration has passed a cap on fees at eight dollars, and has also foreshadowed that overdraft and other bank fees may not be far behind. Is this legislation going to help you save more money? We'll dive into what we love, don't love, and what we're cautiously optimistic about, assuming that YOU take action on your plan and tighten up your banking practices.
That's not all. We also answer a question from a Stacker who said, "We'd better call Saul...Sehy and OG for help!" Of course, there's Doug's trivia segment as well, and much, much more.
