One in five Americans haven’t even thought about health care costs in retirement. Steve breaks down what this means, why it matters, and how to prepare before medical costs derail your plan. Health care is one of retirement’s biggest wildcards, but with the...
Thanksgiving gives us the perfect excuse to pause and appreciate what’s going right, financially and otherwise. Gratitude doesn’t just lift your mood; it has a real impact on how you save, spend, and plan for the future. When we slow down long enough to acknowledge what we have, it becomes easier to make wiser, more grounded financial decisions.
Today, Steve talks about how thankfulness may be one of the most powerfu...
Most people think financial planning is about calculators, spreadsheets, and strategies, but that’s only half the story. The way you feel about money can influence your decisions just as much as the numbers do. Steve explores how emotions shape retirement choices, investment preferences, debt decisions, and even legacy goals. Numbers create the structure, but your feelings shape the plan that truly fits your life.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
