  • 132: Why Debt Hits Harder After 35 (And What To Do About It)
    Apr 15 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Debt in your 20s felt manageable. Now it's competing with your mortgage, your kids, your aging parents, and your retirement clock and it's winning.

    In this episode, Jessica and Brandon unpack why debt feels so much heavier in your late 30s and 40s, why making more money didn't fix it, and what to actually do now. They discuss the “invest vs. pay off debt” debate, the identity shift you need before any strategy will stick, and the one action item that will bring immediate clarity.

    Real talk from two elder millennials who get it.

  • 131: Pack Extra Underwear And Get A Postnup
    Apr 8 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Your spouse just found out they're inheriting money, and now they want a postnup. Do you panic, or do you see it for what it actually is?

    In this episode, Jessica and Brandon break down the real purpose of prenups and postnups, share why they got one after almost a decade of marriage, and explain why the stigma around these agreements is costing couples more than they realize. Spoiler: your state already wrote your prenup. You just don't know what it says.

    They cover what to actually include in a postnup (inheritance, kids' accounts, mortgages, debt), why you don't divorce the same person you married, and why building these protections while love is high is the smartest financial move a couple can make.

    Think of it as love insurance, you hope you never need it, but you'll be grateful it's there.

  • 127: The Life Insurance Mistake Almost Everyone Makes
    Mar 11 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Life insurance is one of the most misunderstood parts of financial planning.

    In this episode, Jessica and Brandon break down what life insurance is actually meant to do and why most people think about it the wrong way.

    Instead of treating life insurance like an investment, it should be viewed as income protection. If your income disappeared tomorrow, would your family still be financially secure?

    We cover:

    • Who actually needs life insurance
    • Why term life insurance works for most people
    • The real difference between term and whole life policies
    • How much life insurance you should consider
    • Why waiting to buy a policy can cost you more
    • Why life insurance through work usually isn’t enough

    If you have a spouse, kids, or anyone financially dependent on you, this episode explains why life insurance is one of the foundational pieces of a solid financial plan.

    Send us Fan Mail

    Most emergencies cost more than $1,000.

    In this episode, Jessica and Brandon break down what a properly funded emergency fund actually looks like and why it’s one of the first steps in any financial plan.

    We cover:

    • What counts as a true emergency
    • How to calculate 6 to 12 months of expenses
    • Why expenses matter more than income
    • Where to keep your emergency fund
    • Why you shouldn’t invest it
    • How to automate your savings

    Whether you’re in a volatile industry, a dual-income household, self-employed, or rebuilding after a layoff, this conversation will help you create a clear, practical plan.

    An emergency fund won’t make you wealthy. It keeps you from going into debt when life happens.
