Raising Financially Savvy Kids In A World of Crypto, Betting Apps, and 'Girl Math'
Financial literacy isn’t just a problem for young people — it spans every generation and income bracket, and the numbers have only gotten worse over the last decade. So what actually works? This week, Jean sits down with Diana Isern, a 20-year NYC public school educator, Accredited Financial Counselor, and author of the new book Money Talks: An Educator’s Guide to Teaching Financial Empowerment. Diana approaches things differently: instead of lecturing people about what they don’t know, she starts from what families already do well, and builds from there. They dig into: The intergenerational money trauma most of us inherit without even realizing it, and how to break the cycle with your own kids Why 11th grade is the exact right moment for financial literacy to click What Diana actually tells her students when they ask her about crypto, sports betting apps, and “girl math” I'm hosting a free Forever Paycheck book club on November 17th at 7 ET.

Ep 549: Farnoosh Torabi on Why “Healthy” Fear Is Good for Your Money (and Your Life)
Sixty percent of Americans say they feel scared when they think about the future, and women are more likely than men to feel that way. If your instinct is to push that fear down, breathe through it, or just try to be more fearless, Farnoosh Torabi wants to stop you right there. Because fear, she argues, isn’t the enemy. It’s actually one of the most powerful tools you have, if you know how to listen to it.

The Pink Tax on Everything: Why Women Pay More for a World Built for Men
Have you ever stopped to think about how nearly every product in your life — the car you drive, the shoes on your feet, the chair you're sitting in right now — was actually designed for men? Because cars were designed for men, women are 73% more likely to be seriously injured in a crash, and 17% more likely to die in one. And it doesn't stop at cars; even your sneakers were likely modeled on a man's foot first. This week, Jean sits down with Karen Reuther — former Global Creative Director at Nike, VP of Creative Direction at Reebok, and now a design lecturer at Harvard — to talk about her new book, Man-Made: How We Designed a World That Leaves Women Out, and How We Can Make It Right. They dig into: The "headspace gap" — the hidden mental tax women pay navigating cities, commutes, and public spaces built around men How the Stanley Quencher became a case study in designing for women Practical ways to push back on the pink tax with your voice, your vote, and your wallet The Forever Paycheck is officially a New York Times bestseller!

Ep 548: Tori Dunlap's Money Playbook For Finishing Out The Year Strong
We're closing in on the end of 2026, and on paper, it's been an amazing year for the markets. But that doesn't change the math that so many of us are feeling in our day-to-day lives.

"Should I Fire My $50K-a-Year Financial Advisor?"
In this AMA, Jean sits down with Anne — a 57-year-old retiree, self-taught investor, and self-described "super saver" — who's questioning whether her advisor's 60-basis-point fee (upwards of $50,000 a year) is still worth it now that she's retired, debt-free, and increasingly comfortable managing her own portfolio. They talk: The real difference between a pre-retirement growth plan and a post-retirement income plan Why getting your advisor, accountant, and estate planner talking to each other matters How to "shop around" for an advisor without necessarily planning to leave the one you have Thanks to all of you, The Forever Paycheck hit the New York Times Best Seller list.

Ep 547: Dr. Jill Biden on Why Every Woman Needs Her Own Money
It's no secret that Dr. Jill Biden has been through a lot. She opens her new memoir, View From The East Wing, by telling us about the heartbreak of losing her son Beau to brain cancer at the age of 46. In the wake of that loss, she and her husband almost lost their son Hunter Biden to addiction. And more recently, she has been by former President Joe Biden's side through his diagnosis of an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones, though she says they are very optimistic about his most recent scans. Yet in an era where "unprecedented" has been used more times than most of us can stomach, Jill Biden has stayed steady — continuing to teach as a community college English professor even through her husband's presidency, making her the only First Lady in history to hold an outside job while her husband was in office. In this episode, Jean Chatzky sits down with Dr. Jill Biden to talk about money, independence, and resilience. They discuss: How a first marriage that ended in financial panic shaped everything she believes about money Why she and Joe Biden have always kept separate bank accounts, and why she thinks every woman should Her message to women in their 50s and 60s who feel like they've missed their window Learn more about your ad choices.
