Have any spare change? Do you still use cash and coins? The US Treasury Department and US Mint announced that it will stop making pennies after it runs out of the blank templates used to make the coins, saving the government $56 million a year in materials costs.  There is no indication that pennies will be taken out of circulation, only that new pennies will not be produced. This move should have no impact on electronic purchases - ACH, Wire, Debit, Credit, etc.  A few news articles on the subject: https://www.axios.com/2025/05/22/penny-coins-end-production-2026 https://www.axios.com/2025/05/24/treasury-penny-production-trump-shopping-change This issue is not unique to the United States. Canada, Australia and New Zealand stopped producing their penny-equivalents years ago. The cost to produce $0.01 is now approximately $0.0369 per penny, causing a loss to the US Mint of approximately $85.3 million.  And our other coins are similarly expensive to produce: $0.05 nickel costs $0.1378 per coin $0.10 dime costs $0.0576 per coin $0.25 quarter costs $0.1468 per coin It may be time to start using all those pennies we're currently saving in jars and piggybanks. What do you think? How will stopping the production of the penny impact you? Let us know if you enjoy this episode and, if so, please share it with your friends!

Have you been paying your Student Loans? Have you been waiting on forgiveness of your Student Loans? Recently, the Department of Education has begun collection efforts for Student Loan borrowers behind on their payments, who have not repaid their debts or entered into some type of workout plan regarding their Student Loan debts. The government estimates that there are 6.4 million Student Loan borrowers between the ages of 50 - 60, that owe a combined $282 Billion - or $46,000 per borrower. For some history or background, Student Loan payments paused during the COVID pandemic. But in October 2023, Student Loan payments resumed (subject to any workout plan negotiated with the Department of Education).  Now, the government is seeking collection against any defaulted Student Loans, and they have as tools, the authority, under certain circumstances, to: (1) garnish wages, (2) intercept and retain tax refunds, and (3) intercept and retain social security payments. Unfortunately, Student Loans are still largely non-dischargeable under Bankruptcy Law, although there have been some in-roads. So how can you manage?  There are still options available, including: Income-Driven Repayment. Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Modification You can also plan ahead for the costs of Education, by researching the different borrowing programs, Grants, 529 (and similar) plans.

How does your financial life change when you are childfree? What is the difference between FIRE and FILE? How does your investing change when you are childfree? How does childfree impact your estate planning and long-term financial goals change? How often have you asked a newlywed couple, "so when are you having kids?" How often have you asked a couple married long-term, "any plans for kids soon?"  There is a growing number of married couples who are childfree, sometimes for medical reasons, and sometimes by voluntary choice. How can people with kids be supportive of their friends who have chosen (voluntarily or involuntarily) to live a childfree life. On this week's episode of the Crushing Debt Podcast, Shawn and George interview Jay Zigmont, PhD, MFA, CFP. Dr. Jay and his wife are childfree, and it has profoundly shaped how they approach their finances. When Dr. Jay searched for financial advice, he realized that most of it assumes you have kids, which didn't align with their goals. That's why he founded Childfree Wealth®—to offer financial planning tailored specifically to the unique needs of the childfree community. You can reach Dr. Jay at his website, www.childfreewealth.com, and check out his book, The Childfree Guide to Life & Money, available on the website and wherever your favorite books are sold.
