It's a nostalgia-filled episode this week as Michael Malice (“YOUR WELCOME”) invites his good friend, writer, and author, Lisa De Pasquale, back onto the show to celebrate the release of her brand-new book, The Gen X Handbook for Middle Age. Michael and Lisa talk about how crazy some of the 80s kids shows were, why many of the things loved by Gen X have stood the test of time, how confusing a thumbs up emoji can actually be, and the one thing Boomer's really did wrong, but maybe we can't blame them for it.

Most companies are completely unprepared for the massive leadership gap caused by retiring Baby Boomers and Gen X.

Reinvention doesn't wait for permission. After a career-ending car accident and the loss of both parents before 40, Tina Coleman made a radical choice one week later: she boarded a plane for her first solo international trip. That single leap cracked open a new life—full-time travel, sobriety, a 90‑pound health transformation, and a mission to help Gen X women trade exhaustion for agency.We dive into what makes midlife uniquely powerful: hard-won wisdom, sharper boundaries, and the freedom to choose again. Tina shares the story behind her boldly titled upcoming book, 50, Fabulous, and Fuckable, and why the most subversive move isn't chasing youth but embodying presence. We challenge myths about gray hair, desirability, and the belief that perimenopause blocks weight loss. Tina explains how Ayurvedic rhythms, mindful eating, and strength training reshaped her health, while EFT tapping and simple nervous system resets helped quiet stress cravings and improve sleep.The conversation moves from mindset to method: five-minute journaling to clear mental clutter, Yoga Nidra to restore energy, restorative and yin yoga to unlock deep tension, and bodywork to release what talk can't reach. We talk freedom and simplicity abroad—walking cities, market food, and daily human connection—and share safe, realistic ways to make travel affordable with house sitting, work exchanges, and slow itineraries. You'll leave with practical tools, a reframe on aging, and a spark to design a life that feels like yours again.If this conversation fired you up, follow Tina at beacons.ai/transformbecourageous, pre-order her book, and grab her free travel guide.

Send us a textRemembering Ozzy Osbourne on his birthday. A hilariously dated Subway employee training video. Some of the wildest mishaps during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.Episode 222 kicks off December and the Holiday Season with a package of GenX nostalgia tucked neatly under the tree.It all begins with a celebration of the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne, on what would have been his 77th birthday. A creator of heavy metal, a celebrated icon of music, a reality TV star, and more. Ozzy transcended music and became a pop culture legend. We dive deep into his life and the accomplishments of the man himself.Awkward interactions, questionable hygiene, and seriously weak attempts at humor. You'll find all of this and more in a hilariously dated employee training video from Subway in 1993. All you need to know is there is a pie chart of customer complaints, with one of them being not wearing gloves, and the very next scene is an employee making a sub without gloves. A classic video for sure.Thanksgiving might be over but there is more turkey day fun to be had. In a new Top 5 we look at some of the biggest Macy's Day Parade mishaps. Hint: They all involve rogue balloons.There is a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule, where we look at the crazy but true story of the woman who was struck by a meteorite.You can support my work by becoming a member on Patreon.

People in their 50s are confronting a financial reality nobody prepared us for. We grew up assuming steady careers, pensions, and a clear path to retirement. Instead, we're juggling layoffs, credit card debt, college tuition, aging parents, and rising healthcare costs, all while wondering what "retirement" even means anymore. Kerry Hannon and Janna, co-authors of Retirement Bites: A Gen X Guide to Securing Your Financial Future, break down how our generation ended up here and offer practical steps we can take now to build a future that feels possible, not panicked. Even if you're not Gen X, there is practical and useful advice for you here.  Subscribe to my Small Talk substack for more conversation like this

Susan Fahy notes that average credit scores are around 701, calling the consumer “resilient” overall. However, lower-income consumer delinquencies are rising, driven by persistent inflation, labor market softening and limited access to credit. Susan also breaks it down by generation, highlighting Gen X's accelerating delinquencies; mortgage credit delinquencies are showing the biggest increase. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Tariffs are dominating headlines — but what do they really mean for taxes, Washington, and your clients' retirement plans?In this episode of The Complete Advisor, Dennis Mattern sits down with Becky Swansburg, CEO of Stonewood Financial and Washington insider, to break down the truth: tariffs won't fix America's tax problems, and demographic pressures—not politics—are driving the future of taxation.Becky explains how tariffs actually function, why they rarely offset income taxes, and why rising legislative risk is one of the most overlooked threats to retirement planning today. She also reveals why NOW is a rare low-tax window for conversions and tax repositioning—and how savvy advisors can help clients regain control before the next wave of tax changes hits.If you serve retirees or pre-retirees, this is an episode you can't afford to skip.✅ Top 3 Takeaways for Advisors1. Demographics—not politics—are driving America's revenue crisis, meaning tariffs won't prevent future tax increases.2. Taxes must be treated as a “risk class” in every plan, equal to market risk and income risk.3. Advisors have a short window right now—thanks to OBA tax brackets and current legislative structure—to reposition assets and protect clients from future tax hikes.

Stefania Marghitu's Teen TV (Routledge, 2021)explores the history of television's relationship to teens as a desired, but elusive audience, and the ways in which television has embraced youth subcultures, tracing the shifts in American and global televisual and youth cultures. Organized chronologically, Teen TV starts with Baby Boomers and moves to Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z as a way to contextualize and discuss cultural and historical contexts of teen television and television audiences. The book examines a wide range of historical and contemporary programming: from the broadcast bottleneck, multi-channel era that included youth targeted spaces like MTV, the WB, and the CW, to the rise of streaming platforms and global crossovers. It covers the thematic concerns and narrative structure of the coming-of-age story, and the prevalent genres of teen TV, and milestones faced by teen characters. The book also includes interviews with creators and showrunners of hit network television teen series, including Degrassi's Linda Schulyer, and the costume designer that established a heightened turn in the significance of teen fashion on the small screen in Gossip Girl, Eric Daman.  Rebekah Buchanan is an Associate Professor of English and Director of English Education at Western Illinois University. Her research focuses on feminism, activism, and literacy practices in youth culture, specifically through zines and music. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's the night before Thanksgiving and the Labyrinth is running on pure chaos, carbs, and zero show prep. With no show sheet and no plan (classic), the crew naturally drifts into the biggest online argument of the week: Variety's “100 Best Comedy Movies of All Time” list that has social media melting down. We break down their Top 10, share what they nailed, what they butchered, and what absolutely does not belong anywhere near a “Best Comedy Ever” list. From cult classics to Gen-X essentials, we get into which films still make us laugh and which ones make us go “…really?” Plus, a little pre-holiday small talk about what we're watching, what we're avoiding, and what movies we're forcing on unsuspecting family members this weekend. Then we wrap things up with our Staff Picks before sending you all off to eat too much and argue with relatives. Our upcoming Atlanta Pizza & Gyro Holiday Hootenanny, happening Sunday, December 7th from 1–4 PM in Conyers. No live show, no pressure — just hanging out with fellow Radios, sharing desserts, talking movies, and getting festive.

Original Release Date: October 10, 2025Our U.S. Thematic and Equity Strategist Michelle Weaver discusses how the largest intergenerational wealth transfer in history could reshape saving, spending and investment behavior across America.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript ----- Michelle Weaver: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michelle Weaver, Morgan Stanley's U.S. Thematic and Equity Strategist.Today, a powerful force reshaping the financial lives of millions of Americans: inheritance.It's Friday, October 10th at 10am in New York.Americans are living longer and they're passing on their wealth later. Longevity is one of Morgan Stanley Research's four key themes, and this is an interesting element of longevity. As baby boomers age, they're expected to transfer their wealth to Gen X, millennials and Gen Z to the tune of tens or even hundreds of trillions of U.S. dollars.Estimates vary widely, but the amounts are unprecedented. And so, inheritance isn't just a family milestone; it's becoming an important cornerstone of financial planning and longevity. And understanding who's receiving, expecting, and using their inheritances is key to forecasting how Americans save, spend, and invest.According to our latest AlphaWise survey, 17 percent of U.S. consumers have received an inheritance, and another 14 percent expect to receive one in the future. Younger Americans are especially optimistic. Their expectations split evenly between those anticipating an inheritance within the next 10 years and those expecting it further out.But here's the kicker; income plays a huge role. Only 17 percent of lower income consumers report receiving or expecting an inheritance, but that number jumps to 43 percent among higher income households highlighting a clear wealth divide.What about the size of the inheritance? In our survey, those who received or expect to receive an inheritance fall broadly into three categories. About half reported amounts under $100,000 dollars. For about a third, that amount rose to under $500,000. And then meanwhile, 10 per cent reported an inheritance of half a million dollars or more.Younger consumers tend to report smaller amounts, while inheritance size rises with income. One important thing to remember about our survey though, is it looks more at the average person. We are missing some of those very high net worth demographics in there where I would expect inheritance to rise much higher than half a million.And so, when we think about this, how will recipients use this wealth? That's a really important question. The majority, about 60 percent, say they have or will put their inheritance towards savings, retirement, or investments. About a third say they'll use it for housing or paying down debt. Day-to-day consumption, travel, education and even starting a business or giving to charity also featured in the survey responses – but to a lesser extent.The financial impact of inheritance is significant: 46 percent of recipients say it makes them feel more financially secure; 40 percent cite improvements in savings; and 22 percent associate it with increased spending. Some even report retiring earlier or lightening their workloads.Inheritance trends are shaping consumer behavior and have the power to influence spending patterns across industries. To sum it up, inheritance isn't just a family matter, it's a market mover.Thanks for listening.
