Podcast appearances and mentions of Harold Pollack

On this channel we conduct deep-dive discussions with hundreds of experts a year, doing our best to see through their eyes and chart a wise course through the economic waters ahead. But with all the different approaches, opinions and conclusions, it's important to remind ourselves not to overcomplicate things. The fundamentals to wealth building aren't rocket science. And for most non-professional investors, keeping it simple, consistent and disciplined makes success more attainable. In fact, today's guest claims that everything the average investor needs to know can fit on a standard index card. So what's on that card? We'll ask the man himself. Today we'll talk with Harold Pollack, University of Chicago Professor and co-author of the best-seller The Index Card: Why Personal Finance Doesn't Have to Be Complicated Folks if you have children in college or starting out in life, this may be a particularly valuable discussion for them to hear.

In this NGPF Podcast episode, Yanely welcomes Professor Harold Pollack, author of The Index Card: Why Personal Finance Doesn't Have to Be Complicated. Professor Pollack discusses his journey from public health to personal finance, sharing the simple, nine-rule index card that offers essential financial advice. He talks about the importance of budgeting, saving, and avoiding complex financial products. Professor Polack also addresses the pressures young people face from social media and the financial industry, offering practical tips for educators to help students make smarter financial decisions.

“Here's why creating single-payer health care in America is so hard,” explained Harold Pollack in Vox in 2016. “The benefits of climate action…are diffuse and hard to pin down,” shrugged a Foreign Affairs article in 2020. “A nuanced view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” presented Aliza Pilichowski in The Jerusalem Post in 2023. Each of the above is an example of something that can be called "Nuance Trolling": The insistence that some major beneficial development like single-payer healthcare, ending wars and bombing campaigns, or the mitigation, even cessation, of climate change is impossible because the situation is too nuanced, the plan too lacking in detail, the goal too hard to achieve, the public isn't behind it or some other bad faith “concern” that makes bold action an impossibility. Nuance Trolls present power-serving defeatism as savvy pragmatism, claiming over and over that no good, meaningful change can happen because no version of it will ever work. Nuance and complexity, of course, are real, legitimate things. Political, social, environmental, and economic dynamics often are complicated. But Nuance Trolls abuse this self-evident truism, using it as a mode of analysis designed to weaken  and water down movements for change that seek actual, material solutions to political problems, and instead promoting inaction to ensure the continuation of the already oppressive status quo.  On this episode, we examine the rise of the Nuance Troll and analyze the media's selective invocation of “nuance” in order to stifle urgent movements for social justice, reducing poverty, curbing climate chaos and ending occupation and war.  Our guest is Natasha Lennard.

Tools can be helpful, powerful, dangerous - money is the same. But if you focus more on how to use the tool safely and effectively, you have less room to focus on how scary, or unknown something is.Too often we seem to forget our plan. Or we don't even make a plan in the first place. That's where money becomes overwhelming and we come at our finances from a place of stress.In this episode we talk about Morgan Housel and Harold Pollack's advice about The Index Card, and how financial expertise can be boiled down to some concise, key points. The basic principles are to 1) Not pay someone else to use your money, and 2) save in the best way possible.

Welcome to a new week here on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast!  I'm your host Ashley Micciche, co-owner of True North Retirement Advisors, an independent financial advisory practice managing $340 million in client assets. I'm a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor, and I started this podcast because I love helping people just like you gain clarity and make a plan for the retirement you envision.  The theme this week on the podcast is: 5 Personal Finance Rules for 20-Somethings [Intro about YCP talk] Back in 2013, Harold Pollack, a social scientist at the University of Chicago made a claim that all the financial advice you would ever need in life could fit onto one index card. He scribbled down his 9 pieces of advice onto a 4 x 6 index card, took a photo, shared it online, and the post went viral.  He then wrote a book about it and his idea is the inspiration of my own version of this, but for 20 & 30-somethings. If you can get these things right, most everything else in your financial life will fall into place. And most importantly, these are all habits and behaviors that are within your control, don't require you to have a high income, and most importantly, by building a solid financial foundation early in adulthood, you won't find yourself up to your eyeballs in debt with nothing saved for retirement when you're 45.  That's it for today. Thanks for listening! Come on back tomorrow where I'll talk about… My name is Ashley Micciche...and this is the Retirement Quick Tips podcast. ---------- >>> Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2DI2LSP >>> Subscribe on Amazon Alexa: https://amzn.to/2xRKrCs >>> Visit the podcast page: https://truenorthra.com/podcast/  ---------- Tags: retirement, investing, money, finance, financial planning, retirement planning, saving money, personal finance

He argues that personal finance is so simple all you need to know can fit on an index card. How will he deal with Steve's suggestion that Harold's nine rules for managing money are overly complicated? Harold and Steve also talk about gun violence — a topic Harold researches as a public-policy professor at the University of Chicago — and they propose some radical ideas for reducing it.

Welcome to a new week and a new theme here on the One Minute Retirement Tip!  Back in 2013, University of Chicago social scientist Harold Pollack asserted that you can fit all the financial advice you'll ever need on a single index card. The result was a photo of nine pieces of advice that he squeezed onto one 3x5 index card. The photo went viral and Pollack wrote a book about it:  The Index Card: Why Personal Advice Doesn't Have To Be Complicated.  It’s a really interesting concept - forcing you to choose what’s most important and also discarding other things that might seem important, but in reality, maybe you shouldn’t worry too much about it. So this week, I’ll borrow a couple of Pollack’s ideas and share with you a few of my own in this week’s theme - index card personal finance.  Let’s get into it with rule #1, which is borrowed from Pollack’s list: Make your financial advisor commit to a fiduciary standard. A fiduciary is required to put their client’s interest ahead of their own, avoid conflicts of interest, they cannot accept commissions, and generally are held to the highest standard possible.  The reality is that the vast majority of financial advisors are NOT fiduciaries, and that’s a problem for consumers. When your advisor doesn’t act as a fiduciary, you better make sure you trust your advisor to do the right thing - navigating that is a mine field though, because non-fiduciary advisors who sell insurance and different mutual fund products have disordered incentives to sell you something that will pay them more but may not be in your best interest.  So be sure that if you’re interviewing an advisor you ask if they are always acting as a fiduciary and get that in writing. I strongly believe in the fiduciary standard for all advisors, and I don't think we’ll get there until  more consumers are aware of the differences and demand that their advisor be a fiduciary in all circumstances at all times.  That’s it for today.

It’s Sunday, which means...It’s recap time! This week, we looked at 2020 year end tax planning tips that you’ll want to consider before the end of the year in an effort to minimize your taxes. Here’s what we covered in each episode this week: Creative ways to take Advantage of Charitable Deductions  Smart planning For Higher Future Taxes Fix Your Withholding and how to know if you’ll need to do this Don’t Miss Opportunities To Gift In 2020 And lastly, How To Review Your Gains & Losses  My hope is that you come away from this week with a few ideas on how you can and why you should review your income, tax situation, and investment portfolio before the end of the year. 2020 was a unique year and the CARES Act along with low tax rates based on historical norms make this year a really important year to look seriously at tax planning before year-end.  Tomorrow, we are starting a brand new theme: index card personal finance. Back in 2013, University of Chicago social scientist Harold Pollack asserted that you can fit all the financial advice you'll ever need on a single index card. The result was a photo of nine pieces of advise that fit onto one 3x5 index card. The photo went viral and Pollack wrote a book about it:  The Index Card: Why Personal Advice Doesn't Have To Be Complicated.  So next week, I’ll be sharing with you my own version of the index card for personal finance and dive deep on the 5 key pieces of advice for financial success.  And if you haven’t already, be sure to check out my YouTube channel - True North Retirement, where I cover a wide variety of retirement planning topics - everything from whether or not you should pay off your mortgage before you retire to understanding the lifetime gift tax exclusion to inherited IRA rule changes for 2020.  That’s it for this week!

https://youtu.be/0cP0d5jWpBY In this episode, we discuss the PBS news hour feature, “All the financial advice you'll ever need fits on a single index card.”  This is a popular blog then book by Harold Pollack, a UC Chicago social scientist.  Here are the 10 guidelines: Strive to save 10-20% of your income Pay your credit card balances off every month Max out your 401k and other tax advantaged accounts Never buy or sell individual stocks Buy inexpensive well diversified indexed mutual funds and ETFs Make your financial advisor commit to a fiduciary standard Buy a home when you are financially ready Insurance – make sure you are protected Do what you can to support the safety social net Remember the index card These are all fine guidelines; however, they are just guidelines. Each person´s goals and situation is different and their ability to follow these guidelines (and even the relevance) will vary. Some of the rules are not that clear.  I suppose that is why there is a book, because the card was not self explanatory (and there was an opportunity to make more money). Strive to save 10-20% of your income – good goal but it depends on your situation whether this is practical. If you have kids or heavy expenses, there may be periods when this does not happen. It´s a good goal. Pay your credit card balances off every month – definitely. However, many people don´t and debt can get out of control. If you need to keep a balance, pay off the highest interest cards first. Transferring them to lower rate (or 0% cards) may help as well. You can reach out to the credit card companies to negotiate as well. They may put you on a pay off plan with low interest. Max out your 401k and other tax advantaged accounts – as with saving, for many it makes sense to max out retirement accounts.  However, be sure you have a prudent reserve and tax differed savings might not be the best, depending on your goals.  For example, if your goal is to buy a rental property, you will probably need to save without the tax advantage. Never buy or sell individual stocks – for most people this is good advise. ETFs will serve the majority of people very well.  There are cases where individual stocks may be desired but, in general, they are not needed. Buy inexpensive well diversified indexed mutual funds and ETFs – for most people this makes a lot of sense. Be sure to be diversified with different asset classes. Make your financial advisor commit to a fiduciary standard – this is very important. Use a FEE ONLY financial advisor. One who is not selling you products or getting commissions. The fiduciary standard means that they put their clients´ needs first, before their own.  Buy a home when you are financially ready – agreed. This should not be hurried. Be sure that you can commit to an area. It may not be a great financial move if you leave after a short time. A long term mortgage is difficult to get out of once you are committed. Insurance – make sure you are protected – it is important to be covered. We have seen many clients with the state minimum coverage and they are at risk of losing their assets if they cause a serious accident. Do what you can to support the safety social net – he is referring to medicare, social security, and other government programs. We all support them with our taxes. I´m not sure what more he is recommending. Donating to organizations is worth doing but it is up to each person do decide how much and to what organizations. Remember the index card – it is important to stick to the plan you made. Some people will have no problems sticking with a plan and others may find it helpful to have a financial advisor available to check in with regularly to be sure they are on track to meet their financial goals.

This week we are joined a few days early by Harold Pollack to bring you a timely update on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) repeal and American Health Care Act (AHCA) legislation that is moving quickly through congress. Harold has published widely at the interface between poverty policy and public health including the effects of health reform and the ACA. Today we talk about the current state of the repeal and replace effort in the Senate and what effects their bill would have in terms of individuals who would lose coverage or find it much more expensive should the bill pass. We also discussed the very dramatic changes the bill would likely make to Medicaid and how that might affect the poor and vulnerable people that the program serves, and in particular how it might impact the raging opiate epidemic. Lastly, we talk about what a bipartisan solution to many of the very real problems of the ACA might look like, and what impact individuals can have on policy by calling congress. You can find more information about the unusual legislative process here, and the lack of information available on the bill here. Read about the effects that changes to Medicaid might make for disabled individuals here, and listen to Matt Broaddus of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities discuss block granting and per capita caps on Medicaid here. If you would like to reach out to your Senator to talk with him or her about the legislation and how it might affect you or your patients, you can find your Senator’s contact information here. Harold is the Helen Ross Professor at the School of Social Service Administration, an Affiliate Professor in the Biological Sciences Collegiate Division and the Department of Public Health Sciences and Co-Director of The University of Chicago Crime Lab and a committee member of the Center for Health Administration Studies (CHAS) at the University of Chicago.

University of Chicago Professor Harold Pollack may be famous for his “financial index card”, but it’s his application of simple solutions to complex issues that’s reshaping how we tackle crime and healthcare. What can be done to reduce the number of people who end up in jail for failing to appear in court? How can we build a healthcare system that works for everyone? With the Crime Lab and Center for Health Administration Studies, Pollack is developing social impacts through science.

In moments of anger, it can be hard to take a deep breath or count to ten. But public health researcher Harold Pollack says five minutes of reflection can make all the difference between a regular life and one spent behind bars. This week, we visit a Chicago program that helps young men learn how to pause and reflect. Plus, we ask whether we should think of violence as a disease, similar to a blood-borne pathogen in its ability to spread from person to person.
