Ep 458: Healthy Relationships With Money: A Psychologist Tells All

1/15/2025
It’s somehow the middle of January — which means if you’ve made your resolutions and you’re still sticking to them, congratulations are in order! You’ve made it past Quitters Day or the day when most people abandon their resolutions (it falls on the second Friday in January). But if you have fallen off of your financial resolutions, this is your sign to pick them back up. Because of his year, it’s time to get serious about building some financial stability, financial resiliency, and cultivate a healthier relationship with money. Matt Lundquist, a Columbia University-trained psychotherapist and founder of Tribeca Therapy digs into the root of our money issues and walks us through the steps we can take to improve our relationships with money once and for all. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Improving financial habits in the New Year 06:00 Common barriers to good financial behavior 18:00 Why people overspend and use money to address emotional voids 28:00 When to seek financial therapy 33:00 Mailbag Question 1: What’s the best way to invest in Bitcoin with a small amount of money? 40:00 Mailbag Question 2: How do I best support my parents in paying back my student loans? TAKEAWAYS: Many financial behaviors, such as avoiding credit card statements or overspending, are tied to deeper psychological patterns rather than a lack of financial knowledge. Tackling small financial disagreements early as a couple can help build a framework for handling larger financial challenges later. Finding the right therapist involves looking for someone experienced in discussing money-related emotions or asking targeted questions about their experience with this topic.

Ep 455: Let’s Stress Less in 2025

12/25/2024
This holiday season has been….stressful. And if it feels like you’re feeling more holiday stress this year than your male partner, you probably are. A 2023 poll from Yahoo News and YouGov found that 43% of women said their level of stress and anxiety increases during the holidays (compared to 32% of men). Resiliency and stress expert Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe shares her top tips for entering the New Year with less stress. Because when we’re less stressed we have more space to manage our needs (including our financial needs), and we can start planning for the future. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Why the holidays are so stressful 06:31 Redefining resiliency 9:01 The five pillars of resilience 20:31 A prescription for stress recovery 33:46 Mailbag Question 1: What is a safe harbor account? 36:01 Mailbag Question 2: I’m 60 years old. Should I convert my traditional IRA into a Roth IRA? TAKEAWAYS: Resilience is often misunderstood. It’s not just about being born with it but building it through lived experiences and relationships. Stress itself isn’t the enemy. It’s the overexposure to stress (distress) that harms us. Research suggests that swearing (when not directed at others) can improve pain tolerance.

Jean Chatzky’s Money Moves To Make Before The End Of The Year

12/20/2024
As 2024 comes to a close, it’s time to take control of your money and set yourself up for an even better 2025. How to do it? We’ve got nine actionable steps from HerMoney CEO Jean Chatzky. From rebalancing your investment portfolio after a booming stock market year, to making sure your cash is earning its keep in high-yield savings accounts, we share how to optimize your money. Takeaways: Gains in tech stocks may have caused your asset allocation to shift, increasing risk. Rebalancing protects you if the market dips. Shop for high-yield savings accounts, CDs, or annuities with rates around 4-5% before rates drop further. Offset capital gains by selling underperforming investments.
