An alarming number of people have access to a 401(k) and are either not using it, not getting the full employer match, or not making the simple moves that turn a good account into a great one. Joe and OG dedicate a full episode to the retirement account that most people take for granted -- covering contributions, matching, investment selection, Roth versus traditional, and the specific decisions that separate people who retire comfortably from people who almost got there. Plus wins from the Stacker community and trivia that will make you the most dangerous person at your next dinner party.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy the employer match is the single highest guaranteed return available to any investor -- and the specific contribution level that captures every dollar of itRoth 401(k) versus traditional 401(k): the one question that cuts through all the noise and tells you which one to use right nowWhy your investment menu feels overwhelming and how to make a great choice in under five minutes using one simple filterThe auto-escalation feature most people never turn on -- and why setting it up once can add tens of thousands of dollars to your balance without you doing anything elseWhat to do with your 401(k) when you leave a job: the four options, which one is almost always wrong, and which one most people choose anywayWhy contribution limits are higher than most people think -- and the catch-up contribution that becomes available at 50 that most people in their 40s don't know to plan forThe vesting schedule trap: why your employer match might not actually be yours yet -- and what that means for anyone thinking about leaving their jobWhy 403(b) and 457 plans follow most of the same rules -- and the one unique advantage the 457 has that almost nobody knows aboutOG on the single most common 401(k) mistake he sees in client portfolios -- and how long it typically takes to fixStacker wins from the community: the specific moves people made this month that are already paying offWhy This Matters NowEvery year you don't optimize your 401(k) is a year of compounding you don't get back.

OG's wife asked if he'd do it again. He answered with a childbirth analogy. Doug arrives with trivia that will be re-shared all week.

Mark Simone Interviews Author Ann Coulter on Her Latest Article on Birthright Citizenship. The Mark Simone Show July 1, 2026 • 11 min Episode Description They talk about the Supreme Court blocking Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship, which means if you're born in the U.S., you're a citizen, no matter your parents' status. They also get into how college campuses are pushing students to vote for progressive candidates.   Article mentioned- https://anncoulter.com/2026/07/02/dred-scotus/   Dred SCOTUS by Ann Coulter  July 2, 2026  Obviously, the Supreme Court's ruling on anchor babies in Trump v. Barbara is ridiculous. Chief Justice John Roberts, along with the Papist nut and the three witches, has apparently decided the “FREE MONEY” sign on our border was not good enough. We need to give the third world an even bigger incentive to flock here. Henceforth, we will lure illegal aliens with the guarantee of American citizenship for any kids they give birth to on U.S. soil. Welcome Hamas! (And you thought Democratic primaries were already wild!) Inasmuch as no one on TV seems to have bothered reading the opinions, here are a few highlights. 1) Justice Clarence Thomas's dissent is a tour de force. It will go down in history with Justice Benjamin Curtis's dissent in Dred Scott and Justice Frank Murphy's dissent in Korematsu. (It's also a good primer for snowbirds, who plan to avoid state taxes by moving to Florida, on the vital importance and clear legal meaning of “domicile.”) By contrast, Roberts's opinion for the court will go down with Justice Neil Gorsuch's opinion in Bostock v. Clayton County, finding that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination against transgender employees—a ruling that was so embarrassing it was immediately ignored by everyone, including Gorsuch. That was clear this week, when, for the fourth time since Bostock, the court rejected similar claims by transgenders. 2) I'm sorry to mention that, inasmuch as Gorsuch was on the right side of the anchor baby case. Which reminds me, could the conservatives confidently informing us that anchor babies are required by the constitution (Bill O'Reilly, John Yoo, The Wall Street Journal, etc.) cite a single other case with Roberts on one side and Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh on the other, where Roberts was right? How about that terrific Obamacare ruling, deeply grounded in the text of the constitution? 3) Thomas's central point—appalling to liberals, but true nonetheless—is that the purpose of the 14th Amendment was to overrule Dred Scott, which held that black Americans were not citizens and therefore could not sue in federal court. Black slaves and freedmen alike, Thomas writes, “were unambiguously Americans. They were not foreigners. They were not aliens. They owed no foreign allegiance.” He quotes Frederick Douglass's plea for the citizenship of blacks: “We address you not as aliens nor as exiles … We are Americans.” In response to Thomas's manifestly obvious point that the Fourteenth Amendment was “enacted … with the one pervading purpose of securing equal citizenship for the freed slaves,” the great legal scholar Justice Ketanji Jackson ripostes: “The teacher who scolds a student for bullying a classmate hopes the student learns the broader lesson of treating everyone with kindness, not just that one kid.” 3) In his 91-page dissent, Thomas cites 42 legal cases, 19 historical letters or diplomatic dispatches, 6 formal Attorney General opinions and 11 statutes, including The Civil Rights Act of 1866, The Expatriation Act of 1868 and the Naturalization Acts of 1790, 1795 and 1802. All directly on point. This, Roberts calls “scant evidence.” Whereas he cites a mighty three cases for his majority opinion: an inapposite one from Britain; the opinion of a New York assistant vice chancellor in an 1844 inheritance dispute in New York (BIG, if true); and one, Wong Kim Ark—the “strongest support for today's decision,” as Alito put it—using dubious dicta from a wandering opinion that primarily relied on the parents having been “legally domiciled” in the U.S. when the child was born. Not to be confused with, “living here illegally.” (Or “wintering in Palm Beach.”) It's as if Roberts didn't realize the case was about kids born to illegal aliens. 5) Roberts's weirdest citation is to an 1872 letter from Attorney General George Williams describing Francois Heinrich, a child born to Austrian parents while they were “temporarily residing” in New York City, as having been “originally clothed with American nationality.”

Terry Savage, nationally-syndicated money columnist, joins Wendy Snyder, filling in for Lisa Dent, to re-examine the Trump accounts that were officially launched on the 4th of July.

✈️ Retire Pilots the Right Way!

Welcome to the 9Innings Podcast where we Educate, Empower and Engage. ON THIS WEEKS PODCAST: Trump Accounts have been pitched as a new way to help children build wealth, but what are they actually, and who benefits the most? In this episode of Facts Over Feelings, Kevin Thompson breaks down what Trump Accounts are, what they aren't, and three major ways they differ from other IRAs. We discuss the $1,000 government contribution, taxes, investment restrictions, and why parents may want to compare these accounts to a 529 plan if education is the goal. Are Trump Accounts a real wealth-building tool, or will the biggest benefits go to families who already have the money to contribute? These are the facts. You can decide how you feel about them.

What does your financial plan look like when the traditional script doesn't apply to you?

Tom and Don dismantle the myth of “free money” from high-dividend stocks and ETFs, explaining why chasing yield often leads to poor diversification, lower total returns, and disappointing long-term performance. Using examples like Campbell's, Kraft Heinz, and Whirlpool, they show how dividend-paying companies can still destroy shareholder value while the broader market marches higher. The episode also features listener questions on military retirement planning with a pension-heavy income stream, asset allocation and Roth contributions near retirement, how to structure a UC retirement portfolio using low-cost index funds and small-cap value tilts, and the smartest way to generate retirement withdrawals from a balanced portfolio. Along the way, Don plugs his new Civil War novel The Line Uncrossed and the hosts revisit some old radio history.0:05 Dividend investing myths and “free money” thinking2:18 Why retirees are drawn to dividend stocks and ETFs4:03 Huge inflows into high-dividend ETFs despite lower expected returns5:19 Total return vs. income investing explained5:45 Campbell's Soup and Kraft Heinz as dividend trap examples7:06 Whirlpool cuts long-running dividend after financial strain8:10 Why total return matters more than yield9:10 Vanguard Dividend Growth vs. S&P 500 performance comparison10:44 The dangers of concentrated dividend strategies12:19 Why “magic income” strategies usually disappoint13:32 Military retirement caller asks about pensions, Roths, and mortgage payoff17:43 Using pensions as bond-like income in portfolio allocation18:41 Caller shifts from U.S.-only investing toward global diversification20:28 Don discusses The Line Uncrossed and companion Civil War stories22:30 UC employee asks about AVGE/DFAW vs. ultra-cheap UC index fund24:39 Suggested mix using low-cost index fund plus small-cap value tilts26:04 Listener thanks Don for decades of investing guidance27:58 Retirement withdrawal strategies from a 60/40 portfolio29:19 Rebalancing as the primary source of retirement cash flow30:14 Why retirement distribution planning matters32:35 Fiduciary advice vs. product sales pitches33:54 Friendly rivalry with Stacking BenjaminsQuestions?

#128This episode starts with a practical look at one of the least understood parts of the restaurant business: group purchasing organizations. Josh, Matt, and Mike are joined by Rich Kemp, whose background in food distribution and work at Buyers Edge gives him a deep view into how operators actually buy, price, and negotiate food. Together they unpack what a GPO really is, how rebates and price deviations work, why distributors participate, and how procurement teams can use better data and manufacturer relationships to reduce costs. The conversation also pushes on a bigger question that has come up repeatedly on the show: if supply chains, AI, and purchasing systems get more efficient, will restaurants ever truly see those savings on their invoices.In the back half, the conversation shifts from economics to culture, as the hosts react to the latest reporting around Noma and René Redzepi. What follows is a candid discussion about abuse in professional kitchens, the way destructive behavior has been normalized for generations, and the difference between demanding excellence and tolerating harm. It is a sharp, emotional, and deeply personal exchange about leadership, accountability, and whether the industry is finally ready to confront the systems that allowed this behavior to thrive for so long.Links and resources

Drawing on WALL-E, The Matrix, and even Bruce Almighty, this breakdown explores why a life without work may sound appealing—but could strip away purpose, dignity, and real happiness.From the pride of earned success to the simple joy of a hard day's work, this is a deeper look at human nature—and why “free money” might come at a much higher cost than expected.

When a pilot scheme was announced in 2022 to provide artists with a guaranteed weekly income of €325 a week for three years, there were more than 8,000 applications for the 2,000 places.The Basic Income for the Arts pilot programme ended in February and a review of it was conducted by the Department of Culture before the decision was taken to create a new, permanent scheme. It is now open for applications.It will once again be open to 2,000 artists, chosen by lottery with no qualitative assessment. The weekly payment remains the same.There are some key changes; notably in oversight. Recipients will be audited regularly to ensure they are producing art. Also, their names will be publicly available.While the scheme, thought to be a world first, is widely seen as a positive, a freedom-of-information request by Irish Times journalist Órla Ryan reveals that not everyone is happy. She explains why the pilot scheme was so popular and explores the changes as it transitions from pilot to permanent.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by John Casey. Hosted on Acast.

Roger sits down with tax controversy attorneys Jessica Marine and Peter Haukebo of Frost Law to unpack a court ruling most tax pros haven't heard of — but probably should act on before July. The Kwong case could mean significant interest and penalty refunds for clients who filed late during the COVID pandemic, and the window to file a claim is closing fast.
