HerMoney with Jean Chatzky

Gloria Steinem died today at 92, and we're revisiting a conversation that's stayed with Jean for almost a decade. Recorded live at the Paley Center in 2017 at an event called Winning Plays: Black Women, Feminism, and Empowerment, this episode brings together Gloria Steinem and financial journalist Stacey Tisdale for a wide-ranging conversation on money, power, and freedom.

It's a conversation about resilience, self-worth, and what it really means to bet on yourself financially at any age.

The S&P 500 is on pace for a fourth straight year of double-digit gains, something that's only happened once before since 1928, and that last time ended with the dot-com crash. So naturally, a lot of us are wondering: is this too good to be true?

Jean sits down with friend of the show Karen Finerman, co-founder and CEO of Metropolitan Capital Advisors and longtime panelist on CNBC's Fast Money, to talk through what this run really means, and what (if anything) you should be doing about it.

They get into:

What even counts as a "good" economy when companies are growing by doing more with fewer people

Why Karen refuses to try to time the market

The stocks and sectors she's excited about right now

Her simple, no-frills advice for anyone just trying to keep their 401(k) on track

Most of us pictured our lives as a straight line: high school, college, a job, marriage, a house, kids…one milestone after another. Then life happened. A divorce. A layoff. A move. A pandemic.

This week, Jean Chatzky goes solo to make the case that a messy, non-linear life isn't a failure; it's just what a normal life actually looks like.

In this episode, you'll learn:

The "5 Ws and an H": six questions to ask before you retire

How to apply design thinking to your own retirement plan

Why the real risk in retirement isn't running out of money, but never spending the money you worked so hard to save

You've heard of FIRE, Financial Independence, Retire Early. And maybe your first reaction is: those people are a little extreme. But what if you stripped away the extreme version? What if early retirement just meant leaving the workforce in your late 50s, or stepping back a few years before 65… on your own terms?

That's exactly what we're digging into in this special mailbag episode with the co-hosts of the Catching Up To FI podcast.

Together, Bill and Jackie answer your real questions, including:

How do you plan for health insurance before Medicare kicks in?

How much cash do you really need on hand when you retire early?

I've been financially independent for three months. How do I reallocate my portfolio now that I'm in drawdown mode?

How do you plan for FIRE when you're also caring for an aging parent?
