Jill on Money Radio Show: Episode Number 500

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Hard to believe that this weekend is the 500th episode of Jill on Money.

Mark and I started this journey back in January of 2011 when it was a part-time passion project for both of us.

Little did we know that ten years later we’d be cranking out Jill on Money content on a full-time basis!

Although we’ve been a two person team since day one, two people in particular have helped us out along the way.

For this 500th episode, Mark actually chatted with both of them, Harvey Nagler and Craig Swagler.

Harvey was running the show at CBS News radio when he encouraged us to do some demos and ultimately gave us the green light, so a huge THANK YOU to Harvey.

Craig is the current boss at CBS News radio, and when he took over, he could’ve very easily pulled the plug, but he didn’t, and instead is one of our biggest cheerleaders, so a huge THANK YOU to Craig as well.

Enjoy hour one, and a huge THANK YOU to all our listeners!!! Without you, there is no show.

FAFSA season is upon us, so we thought it was a good time to revisit a chat with Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together.

As Erin says, it’s easy to get freaked out by finances. But you’re not doomed to spend your life drowning in debt or being mystified by money. It’s time to stop scraping by and take control of your money and your life with this savvy and smart guide.

The book doesn’t just cover stuff like credit card debt, investing, and budgeting, it also tackles tricky money matters and situations.

If you're looking for a gift for the college grad in your life, consider picking up a copy, it could help that person enter the “new” real world on the right path.

Are We in Good Shape for Retirement?

As is often the case on the show, somebody calls up asking one thing and the discussion turns into a full-blown retirement planning call. That’s what happened with Bill in Illinois who did a great job of saving for retirement, but what about his asset allocation? Is it where it should be?

Millennials want to learn how to start investing. The problem is that most have no idea where to begin. There's a significant lack of information out there catering to the concerns of new millennial investors, such as:

  • Should I invest while paying down student loans?

  • How do I invest in a socially responsible way?

  • What about robo-advisors and apps, are any of them any good?

  • Where can I look online for investment advice?

That’s why we’re happy to have Erin Lowry back on the show to discuss her latest book, Broke Millennial Takes On Investing: A Beginner's Guide to Leveling Up Your Money.

In this second book in the Broke Millennial series, Lowry answers those questions and delivers all of the investment basics in one easy-to-digest package.

Tackling topics ranging from common terminology to how to handle your anxiety to retirement savings and even how to actually buy and sell a stock, this hands-on guide will help any investment newbie become a confident player in the market on their way to building wealth.

We started the show with Victoria in Baltimore who had a question about one of my favorite topics in the world...annuities! Yet another example of someone trying to sell an insurance product to someone who doesn't need it!! Thankfully, Victoria has a good BS detector.

Our inbox has been slammed, and still is, so we spent the rest of hour one trying to clear it out a bit.  Not quite there but we made a good dent.

It's graduation season so in hour two we thought we'd help out some of these money neophytes as they prepare to enter the real world by chatting with Erin Lowry, author of the new book: Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together.
