Asking the Right Questions to Save More Money w/ Matt Schulz #836
If you have kids or been around kids, you might have noticed that they’re not the best at solving their own problems. It’s a continual process of teaching them to advocate for themselves and that there’s more to it than just stating their problem. So for instance “I’m thirsty” might be a constant refrain and while it’s great to recognize the issue at hand, the goal is to turn that into a request: “Can I have some orange juice?” OK, now we’re getting somewhere! Now she’s taken a proactive step in solving her own problem. This is an important lesson to learn because as we’ll discuss today it’s basically up to us to resolve our own financial conflicts once we’re launched into the real world. We need to be our own advocates in every area of life, but certainly when it comes to our money! Joining us today is Matt Schulz who is the chief credit analyst at LendingTree, and he is also the author of the new book, “Ask Questions, Save Money, Make More” which is essentially a money manual that teaches readers the important questions we need to ask. So whether you naturally speak up for yourself, or would rather disappear back into the bushes, be sure and listen to this episode centering around individual empowerment.

In This Economy!? w/ Kyla Scanlon #833
Stimmy checks, the productivity paradox, the housing theory of everything – these are just a few of the topics covered with our guest, Kyla Scanlon. It’s tricky to describe who Kyla is and what exactly she does because, yes, she has a massive following on TikTok… but she’s not simply an influencer. She also has an incredible newsletter, but she isn’t simply a writer, even though she has written for the Times, NY Magazine, and Bloomberg. AND, her brand-new book, “In This Economy?: How Money and Markets Really Work,” was just released yesterday. But we think that ultimately Kyla is an educator because she excels at bridging the gap between the complexities of our modern economy and everyday living. It’s clear that she is passionate about empowering individuals with the knowledge they need to make informed financial decisions. Plus, she does all of this with a touch of humor while not ignoring the philosophical angle as well… happy listening!

Customer Reviews
Helping make complicated finances easier to manage
I appreciate their take on complicated financial matters. They’ve always been fun to listen to and easily relatable!
Great!
I’m such a fan avid listener of these guys — followed Joel from another pod and found this little gem. Both of these guys’s approach to personal finance is down to earth and a “meet where you’re at” mentality. Overall, I think they give solid advice. Some advice I disagree — specifically their take on avoiding international investing — but this is not enough for me to stop listening. But I do love their money gears and I think it’s a solid framework for getting started. Thanks for all the great work you pour into the pod.
Stellar podcast for personal finance
I’ve been listening to Matt and Joel since the very beginning and throughout the years, they have given advice that has really helped shape personal finances for me and my family. Thank you so much!
