Jesse returns for the 10th "Ask Me Anything" episode to tackle three listener questions that cut to the core of modern wealth planning. He opens with a deep dive into direct indexing, separating substance from sales pitch. While advocates tout it as the next evolution of indexing—combining personalization and tax-loss harvesting—Jesse explains why, for most investors, the extra complexity, cost, and tracking error outweigh the modest tax advantages, making low-cost ETFs the better long-term choice. Next, he answers a question from a listener whose retirement timeline doesn't align with their spouse's, exploring how couples can navigate income changes, healthcare coverage, and tax strategy when one partner stops working years before the other. He breaks down the pros and cons of filing jointly versus separately, showing why joint filing almost always leads to lower overall taxes and greater flexibility. Finally, Jesse delivers a masterclass on decumulation—the art and order of withdrawing money in retirement. From spending taxable assets first to preserving Roth and HSA accounts for last, he maps out how smart sequencing, Roth conversions, and bracket management can extend portfolio life, minimize taxes, and keep retirees financially steady through every stage of the journey. Key Takeaways:• Direct indexing isn't revolutionary for most investors—it's often an overhyped, higher-cost alternative to low-cost ETFs with limited long-term benefits. • Married filing jointly is almost always the better tax choice, offering lower overall tax rates, higher standard deductions, and broader eligibility for credits. • Before changing filing status, couples should test both scenarios using online 1040 tax calculators to see the real impact on their total tax bill. • Guardrail and Monte Carlo strategies help retirees adjust withdrawal rates dynamically based on market performance, rather than using a rigid 4% rule. • HSAs can be used as stealth retirement accounts, reimbursing decades-old medical expenses tax-free or even acting as traditional IRAs after age 65. • The key to successful retirement planning is flexibility—balancing tax efficiency, market uncertainty, and personal goals to ensure sustainable income for decades.

Dans sa nouvelle création, le metteur en scène Pascal Rambert brosse le portrait d'une famille chic sur plusieurs générations.  Des enterrements, des mariages, des enfants à venir, des règlements de comptes, des amours abimés, Pascal Rambert nous raconte aussi un monde qui vacille. Plus qu'une pièce, Les Conséquences fera partie d'une trilogie dans laquelle l'on retrouvera personnages et comédiens jusqu'en 2029.  La pièce commence par un enterrement, celui de l'aïeule qui avait 106 ans et dont l'urne est sur scène, une introduction qui donne le ton d'une pièce qui est parfois très drôle, mais qui est profondément triste et désenchantée : Une pièce au ton caustique précise le metteur en scène.   Je ne fais pas des pièces à "sujets". Je fais parler des gens.  Je mets des mots sur des énergies, sur des acteurs.  Pascal Rambert   Les conséquences aborde la question du temps qui transforme les êtres, en tant que corps, mondes psychiques, collections de comportements, pour examiner de près les retentissements de nos actes. J'ai besoin de m'adresser à mon temps, j'ai envie de parler aux gens, et que ce qu'ils voient sur le plateau leur parle de ce qu'ils sont en train de penser. La pièce interroge aussi sur les conflits de génération.    Le texte de Les Conséquences est disponible aux éditions les Solitaires Intempestifs. Invité : Pascal Rambert, auteur et metteur en scène français né en 1962. De 2007 à 2016, il a dirigé le T2G (Théâtre de Gennevilliers), il travaille en France et à l'international. Ses pièces les plus connues, Clôture de l'amour et Argument explorent les rapports humains, le langage et la rupture.    Programmation musicale : Le duo Nous étions une armée avec le titre Ne pas regarder en bas.

« De la Tyrannie en Amérique ». C'est la couverture du Nouvel Obs cette semaine. Un dossier sur les débuts du second mandat de Donald Trump, élu le 5 novembre 2024, il y a un an. Et ce titre « De la Tyrannie en Amérique » évoque la fracture du système démocratique américain ébranlée depuis le retour au pouvoir de Trump, bien loin du célèbre ouvrage d'Alexis de Tocqueville De la démocratie en Amérique, publié au XIXè siècle. Ainsi, commente le Nouvel Obs, le président américain « transforme la plus vieille démocratie du monde, en régime illibéral ». Dès janvier dernier, le Financial Times avait pu voir clair sur l'avenir du pays, le jour de l'investiture : « Le contraste entre Trump et ses prédécesseurs signale plus un changement de régime qu'un simple transfert de pouvoir ». Et depuis, les péripéties ont été nombreuses depuis le retour du Roi à la Maison Blanche, comme résume une manifestante du mouvement « No Kings » (« Pas de roi en Amérique ») avec ces quelques mots : « Louis XVI a dit "L'État, c'est moi". C'est exactement comme ça que Trump voit les choses ». Louis XVI et « La doctrine du Gangster » Le Nouvel Obs revient sur ce qu'il appelle « La doctrine du Gangster ». Ainsi, Trump « s'est servi d'Elon Musk comme d'un idiot utile, en le nommant à la tête d'un département à l'Efficacité gouvernementale pour licencier des dizaines de milliers d'employés fédéraux et fermer des agences telles que l'USAID, chargée de l'aide étrangère. Il a imposé le nationalisme chrétien blanc comme la nouvelle idéologie nationale, interdit les termes "diversité", "équité", "inclusion", (…) a attaqué ses opposants, mais amnistié ses amis, à commencer par les émeutiers du Capitole. » Que dire des droits humains et des minorités sur le sol américain ? Le président a également « asphyxié l'audiovisuel public, instrumentalisé la culture, réécrit l'histoire » Le Nouvel Obs s'intéresse aussi aux antivax au pouvoir. En fait, souligne le magazine, « Quand la réalité ne lui plaît pas, il la change. » Les États-Unis sont par ailleurs sortis de l'Accord de Paris sur le Climat et de l'Organisation mondiale de la Santé. Et ce n'est pas fini… Dernièrement, l'assassinat de Charlie Kirk, érigé en martyr national, a lancé une nouvelle phase dans la consolidation du pouvoir Trumpien. « Objectif : rendre l'opposition inopérante avant les midterms. Une vaste opération de redécoupage a été lancée (…) pour priver les démocrates de futurs sièges aux Congrès » Ainsi, « L'adversaire désigné, c'est "l'extrémisme de gauche", "les antifas", des appellations assez floues – Vous l'aurez compris – pour s'en prendre à toute l'opposition, accusée de promouvoir la violence politique responsable de la mort de Charlie Kirk. » Et ceux en travers de sa route, ont fini par se faire inculper. L'ex-directeur du FBI James Comey, la procureur générale de New York Laetitia James, son ancien conseiller à la sécurité nationale James Bolton. Reste cette question : Ira-t-il jusqu'à déclencher l'Insurrection Act autorisant le déploiement de l'armée dans le pays ? Trump a déjà envoyé la garde nationale dans les bastions démocrates : Washington, Portland, Chicago… Washington, devenu un « laboratoire de la dictature » détaille dans un nouvel article Le Nouvel Obs : Trump montre qu'il peut « soumettre une ville ayant voté à 92 % contre lui et repousser les limite du pouvoir exécutif en profitant de sa vulnérabilité » car la capitale n'est pas un État et n'a pas de représentation au Capitole, ni de contrôle sur son budget. Trump veut même rebaptiser la scène culturelle en « Trump Kennedy Center »… il en a déjà pris la présidence et a placé ses proches au conseil d'administration. Sur sa politique internationale, l'hebdomadaire souligne : « l'admirateur de Vladimir Poutine et de Xi Jinping a abandonné son rôle de rempart contre le despotisme. Au contraire, il a assis sa puissance sur le rapport de force, par le chantage aux droits de douane ou par les armes, comme en Iran. » Kim Jung-un ou « la résurrection d'un paria », sur fond de guerre en Ukraine Et justement, protégé par Moscou et Pékin, un dictateur est scruté de près par Donald Trump. Il s'est même rendu indispensable à Vladimir Poutine depuis le début de la guerre en Ukraine. Kim Jung-un ou « la résurrection d'un paria » titre l'Express, qui analyse à quel point l'invasion russe en Ukraine a été une bénédiction pour le leader nord-coréen. Lui qui était reparti les mains vides de son second sommet avec Donald Trump à Hanoï. « Dès le début du conflit en Ukraine, Kim comprend qu'il peut tirer profit de la situation. (…) Avec la Syrie, il est le seul à reconnaître les Républiques de Louhansk et Donetsk, annexées par la Russie. Manquant désespérément de devises (…) il livre jusqu'à 40 % des munitions tirées par les Russes » entre octobre 2023 et avril 2025. Ajoutez à cela plus d'une centaine de missiles pour la seule année 2025, la signature d'un traité de défense mutuelle en juin 2024, puis 10 000 soldats nord-coréens pour aider les Russes à reprendre les zones de la région ukrainienne de Koursk. Des soldats traités comme de la chair à canon. Conséquences : « Les livraisons à Moscou sont ensuite montées en gamme, grâce à l'afflux de devises russes, qui permet à Pyongyang de relancer sa production d'armes ». De quoi inquiéter les occidentaux car « Moscou pourrait en effet permettre à Kim de réaliser son rêve : développer un sous-marin lanceur d'engin à propulsion nucléaire ». Quoi qu'il en soit, c'est un immense succès diplomatique pour la Corée du Nord. Sachant que la Russie avait voté les sanctions du Conseil de Sécurité de l'ONU contre son voisin à la suite de son premier essai nucléaire en 2006. Pyongyang « mise ainsi sur la volonté de Pékin et Moscou de bousculer l'ordre mondial dominé par les États-Unis. » « Son but est de devenir une puissance nucléaire comparable à celle de la France », souligne un chercheur. Ainsi, un ex-diplomate nord-coréen qui a fait défection en 2016  analyse la stratégie de Kim Jung-un dans l'Express : « La Corée du Nord est convaincue que si elle prouve que ses armes nucléaires peuvent détruire le territoire américain, les États-Unis finiront par venir à négocier. Pyongyang pourrait alors proposer de démanteler les installations capables de cibler les États-Unis. En échange, ceux-ci retireraient leurs troupes de Corée du Sud et leurs sanctions. » La Finlande face à Poutine Moscou et Pyongyang se sont donc rapprochés à l'occasion de la guerre en Ukraine, tandis que la Finlande, elle, se prépare au pire. Au pire, c'est-à-dire à la guerre contre la Russie. Membre de l'Otan, la Finlande partage la plus longue frontière terrestre avec Moscou. Un envoyé spécial du Point raconte l'état d'esprit des Finlandais qui peuvent notamment apercevoir le paysage russe depuis leur maison. « S'ils envoient des drones, ma maison sera la première à exploser » témoigne une certaine Saara Wilhems, depuis son cottage en bois. Après avoir entendu un hélicoptère tournoyer toute une nuit, elle raconte qu'au matin, en ouvrant sa voiture, elle comprend qu'une présence étrangère rodait : le siège de sa voiture est baissé. Pour elle, c'est sûr, une personne « cherchait à se cacher ». Elle « connaît la rumeur. Cette fois, elle est convaincue que des agents russes pénètrent en Finlande par les forêts et les lacs. » La Finlande, disposerait de près d'un million de réservistes, « parmi lesquels 280 000 hommes équipés et prêts à combattre. Un record en Europe pour une nation de 5 millions et demi d'habitants ». Le service militaire connaît un certain succès. Il est obligatoire pour les hommes, volontaire pour les femmes, et un tiers de la population se dit favorable au service universel. La Finlande dispose aussi du plus vaste réseau de bunkers en Europe, de quoi accueillir 87 % de la population.

Confira no Morning Show desta sexta-feira (31): Após a megaoperação no Rio de Janeiro que deixou 121 mortos, sete governadores anunciaram a criação do “Consórcio da Paz”, uma aliança para combater o crime organizado e trocar informações de inteligência entre os estados. A reunião ocorreu no Palácio Guanabara, com presença de Cláudio Castro (PL-RJ), Romeu Zema (Novo-MG), Jorginho Mello (PL-SC), Ronaldo Caiado (União Brasil-GO), Eduardo Riedel (Progressistas-MS), Celina Leão (Progressistas-DF) e participação remota de Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos-SP). O Rio de Janeiro será sede inicial do grupo e coordenará o processo de formalização. Reportagem: Rodrigo Viga. O coronel Fernando Príncipe analisou os impactos da ADPF 635, conhecida como “ADPF das Favelas”, após a megaoperação no Rio de Janeiro. Segundo ele, a decisão do STF cria restrições que acabam fortalecendo as facções criminosas, limitando a atuação das forças de segurança nas comunidades. A Polícia Civil desarticulou um verdadeiro “coworking do crime” no Guarujá, litoral de São Paulo. Quatro pessoas foram presas em uma mansão usada por quadrilhas de estelionatários que se passavam por advogados para aplicar golpes milionários. Segundo o Deic, os criminosos acessavam processos judiciais com senhas oficiais e enganavam vítimas com pedidos falsos de pagamentos. A operação também teve desdobramentos na capital, onde mais suspeitos foram presos. Celulares, veículos e equipamentos eletrônicos foram apreendidos. A investigação continua para identificar outros envolvidos no esquema. Reportagem: Danúbia Braga. O Ministério Público de São Paulo investiga como duas camisas da Seleção Brasileira autografadas por Neymar Jr. foram parar na casa de um dos alvos de uma operação contra o esquema de lavagem de dinheiro do PCC. As peças estavam dedicadas a “Filha”, apelido do foragido Sérgio Luiz de Freitas Filho, conhecido como Mijão, um dos principais chefes da facção ainda em liberdade. Segundo o MP, as camisas podem ajudar a rastrear a presença do criminoso no Brasil, já que há indícios de que ele teria voltado da Bolívia. A assessoria de Neymar afirmou que o jogador desconhece o caso e as pessoas envolvidas. O Gaeco avalia se o atleta poderá ser ouvido apenas para esclarecer, se possível, se houve de fato esse encontro. Essas e outras notícias você confere no Morning Show.

Time to break down what made these team pennant winners and look at how they compare to the Royals.David Lesky (Publisher - Inside the Crown/@DBLesky), Les Norman (Former Royals OF/Author - Teaching the Tools of Hitting) and Soren Petro (Sports Radio 810-WHB, 810whb.com/@SorenPetro) dive into the World Series and more.- Comparing the Blue Jays and Dodgers?- Where do the Royals measure up to these teams?- Which Royals would play for the Jays and Dodgers?- What are the Pros and Cons to extending Pasquantino?

Les mises à l'écart des opposants, menaces potentielles pour les hommes ou les partis au pouvoir, sont devenues monnaie courante sur le continent… Qu'elles soient le fait du prince ou qu'elles engagent le vernis de la légalité, ces mises à l'écart interrogent sur la bonne santé de la démocratie en Afrique. Dernier exemple en date, le Bénin : « Renaud Agbodjo, comme un feu de paille ! », s'exclame le site béninois Afrique sur 7. « À peine apparu, l'opposant s'efface sans traces de la scène politique. Ce retrait illustre la désillusion que révèle la confrontation avec la rigidité d'un système politique bien ficelé ». En effet, tout est allé très vite : il y a 15 jours, Renaud Agbodjo, avocat de 43 ans, est désigné par son parti comme candidat à l'élection présidentielle d'avril prochain ; mercredi dernier, la Commission électorale invalide sa candidature, faute d'un nombre de parrainages suffisant ; son parti, Les Démocrates, saisit alors la Cour constitutionnelle ; lundi, celle-ci se déclare incompétente et valide la liste provisoire des candidats ; et hier mercredi, l'opposant annonce qu'il jette l'éponge, qu'il arrête la course à la présidence. Divisions « Bis repetita pour Les Démocrates, constate Jeune Afrique. Comme en 2021, la principale formation d'opposition au Bénin ne sera pas sur la ligne de départ pour la présidentielle d'avril 2026. Cette décision douche définitivement les espoirs présidentiels des Démocrates, parti dirigé depuis 2023 par l'ancien chef de l'État, Thomas Boni Yayi. Elle a également rencontré fin au feuilleton politico-judiciaire entamé le 14 octobre, avec la désignation de Renaud Agbodjo ». Un feuilleton qui met en lumière les divisions au sein des Démocrates. En effet, précise Jeune Afrique, « le fait que le choix se soit porté sur Renaud Agbodjo, l'avocat personnel de l'ex-président, à l'issue d'une primaire, au détriment d'Éric Houndété qui faisait figure de favori, avait très vite été contesté par Michel Sodjinou, député de la ville de Porto-Novo. Ce dernier avait alors refusé de parrainer le candidat officiel ». Et comme pour être qualifié, il fallait 28 parrainages d'élus et que Les Démocrates en comptent exactement 28, cette défection leur a été fatale… Un «  plan de déstabilisation et de débauchage  » ? L'ancien président Thomas Boni Yayi, à la tête des Démocrates, a donc bien tenté de convaincre le président Talon de faire participer son parti aux élections générales de l'année prochaine, incluant les législatives, les communales et la présidentielle. Peine perdue… C'est ce que souligne La Nouvelle Tribune à Cotonou. « Boni Yayi a déclaré percevoir (chez son interlocuteur) une tendance à la concentration du pouvoir, pointe le journal. Il a évoqué l'existence d'un "plan de déstabilisation et de débauchage" visant certains responsables du parti Les Démocrates, par le biais de pressions et, à l'en croire, de promesses d'avantages matériels ». Conséquence, pointe Le Monde Afrique, en l'absence du principal parti d'opposition, « une voie royale s'ouvre donc pour la majorité au pouvoir, représentée par le ministre des Finances, Romuald Wadagni. Patrice Talon, président depuis 2016, arrivant au terme de son deuxième mandat, le maximum autorisé par la Constitution ». Un jeu de verrouillage électoral « Pour un pays, le Bénin qui, depuis la Conférence nationale de 1990, s'enorgueillit d'un pluralisme politique exemplaire, la situation s'interroge profondément, soupire Afrik.com. Comment parler de démocratie lorsque le jeu électoral semble verrouillé au point d'exclure des forces politiques d'envergure ? (…) Le Bénin d'aujourd'hui donne le sentiment d'un pluralisme sous tutelle, déplore encore le site panafricain. Les voix dissidentes, souvent muselées, peinent à trouver un espace d'expression libre. Les manifestations sont encadrées, les dirigeants politiques critiques font face aux poursuites judiciaires, et les médias indépendants doivent composer avec un environnement de plus en plus hostile. Tout cela contribue à instaurer un climat de peur et de résignation, incompatible avec la vitalité démocratique qui avait jadis fait la fierté du pays ». Certes, pointe encore Afrik.com, « les défenseurs du pouvoir en place invoquent souvent l'argument de la légalité : "les règles sont les mêmes pour tous". Mais la démocratie ne se réduit pas à une stricte conformité juridique, affirme le site. Elle repose avant tout sur l'esprit du jeu démocratique, sur la compétition équitable, sur la possibilité pour chaque sensibilité politique de se faire entendre et de se mesurer aux urnes ».

This time, we have another big home haunt hop and a stop at WB to share!

In this episode, I'm breaking down the truth about play café and indoor playground franchising — and why this model has failed to deliver lasting success for most owners, outside of what you may see on social media.I've worked with countless franchisees who believed joining an established concept would simplify their startup journey, only to discover overwhelming fees, lack of flexibility, and corporate systems that didn't fit their local markets. In this episode, I share real examples of owners who struggled under these agreements and explain the key red flags to watch for if you're researching a franchise opportunity (and we get VERY specific!).You'll learn: • Why big national brands like The Little Gym or Goldfish Swim School can make franchising work — and why smaller ones rarely can. • The financial math behind royalties, marketing fees, and hidden costs. • Common build-out and permitting pitfalls new franchisees face. • The importance of local flexibility in pricing, programs, and menu offerings. • How to read the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) and spot deal-breaking clauses. • Smarter alternatives to franchising for aspiring owners who still want systems and support.If you've been tempted by the promise of “done-for-you” business ownership, this episode will help you make a truly informed decision before signing anything.Blog for this episodeOld Pros and Cons of Franchising Article MentionedWhat's Working Guide for 2025-2026OTHER RESOURCES:Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyGetting Started With Your Play Cafe [YouTube Video Playlist]What's Working In The Indoor Play Industry 2025 GuideFund Your Indoor Play Business [Free Training]Indoor Play Courses & 1:1 Consulting WaitlistMichele's InstagramMichele's WebsitePlay Cafe Academy YouTube ChannelETSY Template ShopPrepare Your Indoor Playground For a RecessionPlay Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyQuestions and Support: Support@michelecaruana.com Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers Society: http://bit.ly/3HES7fDQuestions and Support: Support@michelecaruana.com Simplify and Scale with 50% OFF WellnessLiving: https://discover.wellnessliving.com/playcafeacademyActive Campaign Free Trial: https://www.activecampaign.com/?_r=D6IYK3HG

A van door slides open at midnight and two strangers say she isn't going home. That moment—engineered by her parents—sent Jacine into a notorious WWASP “behavioral program” in Mexico where abuse and brainwashing replaced help. We go where most stories don't. Jacine Jadresko breaks down how she hacked punitive level systems as a teen, the toll it took, and why high-functioning addiction hid in plain sight for years. She shares two fentanyl overdoses, the mindset shift that ended heroin, and the unglamorous habits that keep her steady. Then we step into the Amazon: earning hunters' respect, learning to mix plant poisons, blow-darting a monkey on the first try, and tasting the difference between survival and spectacle. This is a story of pure survival, never heard before. Buckle up for this one, you will have your jaw open the entire time.To learn more and follow Jacine on her world travels and adventure, give her a follow: https://www.instagram.com/jacineunseen/If you're drawn to stories of survival that become maps, this one's for you: how to build a simple business that buys your time, how to trust your instincts without worshiping fear, and how to choose a life wide enough to hold the past without letting it steer.
