I’ve long entertained a logistically untenable fantasy of picking up and moving my life to Copenhagen for a season. Today, we explore what it takes to make a temporary or permanent international move.
We have two guests, CPA Katelynn Minott of Bright!Tax as well as Chartered Wealth Manager Alex Ingrim of Chase Buchanan USA, who walk us through taxes, retirement accounts, cultural, and ethical considerations of living abroad.

Rich Girl BT wrote in saying, "We talk more money with friends—but once they know the salary, they'll hold it against you. For example, they'll say, 'You can afford $750 for two nights at my wedding.' But I don't want to spend that." So, how do we navigate these situations in an attempt to be more transparent about finances?

The world of status symbols and all their various manifestations (“quiet luxury,” “stealth wealth,” and even conspicuous dressing down as a backhanded sign of prestige) has operated in a more or less predictable way over the course of history—until now.
Amy X. Wang, whose reporting for the New York Times uncovered a replica black market that’s exploded in popularity in recent years, joins me to discuss.

Writer Elise Loehnen (“On Our Best Behavior”) joined me to explore how our money stories make us spend, work, and live. Distinct cultural scripts shape our relationship with money, like “sloth” and “greed” or the idea that “a man should be a provider.” Even if you’re not consciously abiding by this societal shorthand, Elise says, it probably influences your attitudes.
Transcripts, show notes, production credits, and more can be fou...

We're always told how expensive children are once you have them—but how do you prepare for them financially before they're here? How should you adapt or shift your budget when it comes to doctor's visits, insurance policies, TTC tools, and more?

You know them, you love them, and you probably own them—but do you understand them? By “them,” I mean exchange-traded funds, or “ETFs.”
We’re digging deep into these magical little devices (everything from fee structures, to diversification, to how “bond ETFs” might be a great replacement for your complex bond configurations). We’re joined by Samara Cohen, Chief Investment Officer of ETF and Index Investments at BlackRock—one of th...

A recent Bloomberg Opinion piece said, "Your 401(k) will be gone in a decade," sounding off alarm bells in the MWK community. Is it true, and if so, what does it really entail?

If you've ever waded into personal finance content, you’re probably familiar with lifestyle creep. It gets a lot of airtime because it’s a natural financial experience: to spend more as you earn more. But because there's no positive equivalent about intentionally upgrading your lifestyle, all enhancements are cast through this "to-be-avoided-at-any-costs" lens.
Fortunately for us, my evolution on the subject has been entombed for e...

If the entire US economy were worth $1,000, a few of those dollars would be driven by music and movies. Of those few dollars, just three people (of whom one is imaginary) were at the helm in 2023, driving 30 cents of it on their own: Barbie, Beyoncé, and Taylor, who together generated around $10 billion in economic value last year.
But despite this strong showing, women's media is still consistently belittled. Author, culture comm...

The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins is financial independence canon. The premise boils down to elegant simplicity: Spend 50% of your income and invest the other 50% in one specific index fund, VTSAX. We ask the Godfather of FI about it all—covering everything from his reliance on VTSAX and the American economy, to managing market crashes, to the debate over homeownership.

Low-wage work is more prevalent in the US than any other high-income nation—and we've essentially seen 50 years of stasis in anti-poverty efforts. After reading four different books about why the US has such a difficult time minimizing poverty despite having relative abundance, we deep dive into the main issues that keep the poor in place. We also talk about ways to solve for poverty, like readdressing policy, improving allocations...

An Austrian heiress made headlines when she announced she would let 50 strangers decide what to do with $27M USD of her inheritance. Katie and Henah discuss the potential impact of this kind of social experiment, how the lack of inheritance and estate taxes disproportionately support inequality, and why "generational stability" might be worth striving for more than "generational wealth."
