Think the American Dream is slipping out of reach? Think again. In this episode of The Stacking Benjamins Show, Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Neighbor Doug tackle one of the biggest financial questions of our time: how much does it really cost to live the life you want — and is it still possible? Spoiler alert: it is, but it takes more than a paycheck and a Pinterest board. We break down fresh research from Investopedia, the rising price tag of everything from healthcare to college, and how smart planning (and a little basement wisdom) can keep your dreams from turning into financial nightmares. But this isn't just another numbers game. Along the way, the gang shares stories from the road — including Joe's brush with baseball's most entertaining team — and digs into the strategies that can help you fight inflation, outsmart rising costs, and make compounding interest your best friend. Plus, we tackle big listener questions, from how to choose the right financial advisor to the best ways to set young adults up for success in a tougher economic landscape. And because life isn't all spreadsheets and savings goals, we round things out with some binge-worthy TV and movie picks for when you're off the clock. It's part money masterclass, part basement hangout — and all about helping you take real steps toward your version of the American Dream. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why the “American Dream” isn't dead — but why it may look different today. The real costs behind homeownership, healthcare, education, and retirement (and how to plan for them). Strategies for budgeting, saving early, and building systems that make your money work harder. How to vet a financial advisor and what red flags to watch out for. Smart ways to guide young adults toward financial independence. The power of compounding interest and how to use it to your advantage. Questions to Consider (and Discuss with Fellow Stackers) What does the “American Dream” mean to you — and has that definition changed over time? Which costs (housing, healthcare, college, etc.) feel most overwhelming right now, and how are you tackling them? What's one piece of financial advice you'd give to someone just starting their journey? FULL SHOW NOTES: https://stackingbenjamins.com/the-rising-cost-of-the-american-dream-1741 Deeper dives with curated links, topics, and discussions are in our newsletter, The 201, available at https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/201 Enjoy!

Starbucks (SBUX) is firing 900 workers as a part of its restructuring plan for underperforming stores. Investopedia's Caleb Silver says CEO Brian Niccol's focus on the future hasn't worked yet, noting same-stores sales remaining on a decline paired with lackluster stock growth. Caleb points to upstarts like Dutch Bros. (BROS) and added pressure from well-established competitors creating more headwinds for Starbucks.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Award-winning CFP® Professional and Women and Wealth Authority Cary Carbonaro shares her remarkable, decades-long journey through the financial industry, shattering the glass ceiling. Carbonaro reveals the bold, decisive moves that shaped her career, including walking away from a half-million-dollar Wall Street salary after 9/11, quartering her income, and ultimately choosing to build her own multimillion-dollar financial planning practice from scratch. She talks candidly about the challenges of operating as a woman in a male-dominated industry, detailing the effects of implicit bias and the constant need for resilience. Her personal story—from a high-stakes divorce that inspired her first book to a toxic corporate sale that sparked her second—delivers a powerful message. Finally, and notably, as the first woman on the NASDAQ Advisor Council, she advocates for the power of the ask, arguing that women must stop waiting to be noticed or rewarded and instead become 100% responsible for their financial future to close the wealth gap.   The Power of Self-Nomination: Carbonaro confidently “threw her hat in the ring” to become the first woman on the NASDAQ Advisor Council, proving the importance of asking for a seat at any table rather than waiting for an invitation. Career Reinvention & Independence: Hear why she quit a high-earning NYC job, quartered her salary, and built her own firm, illustrating that true wealth requires building your own platform and never settling for less. Resilience in a Male-Dominated Industry: A candid look at the implicit and unconscious bias women face in finance, stressing that resilience is the essential, non-negotiable trait needed to succeed. Lemons to Lemonade: Hear how she calls on deeply personal, difficult experiences—a multi-million-dollar divorce and a toxic corporate sale—as the motivation to write her best-selling books and share crucial lessons with the world. Important Links:Savvy LadiesPrecious Williams' LinkedInLisa Zeiderman's LinkedInCary Carbonaro's LinkedIn Important Links for Cary:Cary Carbonaro's Website Cary's Women and Wealth Book About Cary Carbonaro:Cary Carbonaro is an award-winning Certified Financial Planner™ with over 25 years of experience.

Repeat Episode. Have been busy this week at the ASA QLD Invstor Summit on the Gold Coast. Saw Michael Kemp again and thought that this episode bore a repeat for all of the great investing insights. What does an epic poem written around 700BC tell us about investing? How are investors tempted to steer their money onto the rocks of investing underperformance? My guest is Michael Kemp, author of The Ulysses Contract.There's plenty of great lessons in this interview & much more in the book. There's a lot to avoid but as Michael says: "Don't be discouraged by all the negative arguments I'm putting forth. I don't believe you need to become a champion to become a really good investor. Market returns are fantastic returns as long as you achieve them. Don't try and shoot for the stars cuz you're probably full flat on your face. But if you accept that you're gonna be delivered market returns and you are patient, then market returns can be spectacular returns given the power of compounding."Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/ulysses

In this episode I chat with Michael Kemp, author of three investment books—Creating Real Wealth, Uncommon Sense, and The Ulysses Contract. Our conversation was inspired by Michael's presentation at the 2025 Australian Shareholders Association conference, diving deeply into the quirks of human psychology and how they shape our investing decisions. Our brains are wired for survival in a prehistoric world, often leading us astray in modern financial markets. Michael pointed out that our ancestors needed to make snap judgments to avoid becoming a predator's lunch.

How do you build a financial planning practice that succeeds without losing your values?Fran Walsh, co-founder of Opulus LLC and one of Investopedia's Top 100 Advisors, believes the key is authenticity. From a football award that unexpectedly introduced him to his future business partner to launching his firm just before COVID hit, Fran's path has been anything but straight. His mindset has stayed the same: “The people who never quit and just keep going are going to be inevitably successful.”At first, Fran didn't rush to pick a niche. Instead, he worked with a range of clients while building momentum, eventually focusing on high-earning millennials, athletes, and business owners who share his drive for constant improvement. He also made a conscious choice to skip the traditional corporate image: “We wear t-shirts every day. We want clients to see we're normal people just like them.”His approach shows that being yourself can strengthen client relationships while building a business you actually enjoy running.Fran's Social:https://www.linkedin.com/in/fran-walsh-b12775a3/X: @FranWalsh73Newsletter: https://www.opulusmethod.com/

Investopedia's Caleb Silver says there's a lot Cava Group (CAVA) needs to serve to investors when with its earnings report. While the company has experienced notable growth, Caleb tells investors to keep it in a category separate from giants like Chipotle (CMG), adding that Cava's valuation is stuffing the current price.

Allegations by Donald Trump: Former President Donald Trump is quoted calling for an investigation into Nancy Pelosi, accusing her of using insider information to amass wealth through stock trading. He claims Pelosi has achieved returns “practically in the history of Wall Street” and suggests this is due to her access to non-public information. Financial Discrepancies Highlighted: Pelosi’s government salary is cited as $174,000/year, yet her net worth is reported to have grown from $114.7 million in 2018 to potentially $413 million by 2024. The file references sources like OpenSecrets, Investopedia, and The Times to support these figures. Paul Pelosi reportedly earned between $7.8 million and $42.5 million in 2024 from stock trades. Stock Performance: The Pelosi portfolio allegedly returned 54% in 2024, outperforming the S&P 500’s 25% gain. Notable trades included early investments in Nvidia and Palo Alto Networks, and timely sales of Microsoft and Visa. Pelosi’s Response: In a CNN interview with Jake Tapper, Pelosi deflects the insider trading question, emphasizing her focus on the 60th anniversary of Medicaid. She denies wrongdoing, stating: “I’m not into it. My husband is,” and accuses Trump of “projecting.” Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Investopedia's Caleb Silver says there were many positives in the first round of big bank earnings. He notes investment banking and a streamline of IPOs signaling bullish indicators for JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Citigroup (C), but warns of net interest income as a bearish sign for Wells Fargo (WFC). John Petrides takes the other side of the argument and urges investors to look at the "bigger picture." He says banks have had a stellar year-over-year performance and were bound for a slight pullback.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

What if your doctor could also help you plan your financial future? In this episode of Mitlin Money Mindset®, Larry Sprung sits down with Carolyn McClanahan, M.D., CFP®, a physician-turned-financial planner and founder of Life Planning Partners. She shares how her medical background shaped her philosophy around financial planning, why empathy and honesty matter in client relationships, and how understanding aging and cognitive decline leads to better financial outcomes.  Together, they explore how to create meaningful conversations and a values-aligned financial life. Carolyn discusses: How her husband's career change sparked her transition from medicine to financial planning and led to the founding of Life Planning Partners Why financial planning should treat the "whole person," integrating tax, insurance, estate, and cash flow considerations, not just investments How her medical training informs her approach to planning for aging, cognitive decline, and real-life health risks often overlooked in financial discussions The importance of communication, emotional intelligence, and mutual respect in advisor-client relationships, including a firm policy of “no mean people” Why advisors should focus clients on using money for value, purpose, and JOY, rather than aimless accumulation And more!

This is a fun conversation with Tobias Bucks, Portfolio Manager of Global Small Caps at Ausbil, that turned out to be one of the most fascinating conversations I've ever had. Tobias has a unique background in social anthropology, bringing a perspective to investing that was as refreshing as it was profound. What started as a discussion about global small cap companies evolved into a deep dive into human behaviour, cultural constructs, and the art of asking the right questions.Read Ausbil's Disclaimer hereBlog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/tobias-bucks-ausbilLevel up your investing with Sharesight, Investopedia's #1 portfolio tracker for DIY investors.
