Episode notes
Normal Money Habits Often Fail
- Normal financial behavior often leads to being broke; adopting countercultural money habits creates freedom.
- The hosts repeatedly urge living 'weird' with money to avoid common financial failures.
Recovering Stolen Inheritance
- If an executor/trustee is suspected of stealing estate funds, hire an attorney and pursue forensic accounting rather than only confronting them.
- Tell the trustee you will involve law enforcement if they refuse to provide a full accounting and return assets.
When To Ask About Debt While Dating
- Discuss money values with dates as you get to know someone and save specific debt numbers for when the relationship becomes serious.
- Start values conversations early; get into nitty-gritty financials only when planning to merge households or marry.
