The Data Detective with Tim Harford Part Two Mar 14, 2021

Show notes

Today we think statistics are the enemy, numbers used to mislead and confuse us.

Our guest this weekend, Tim Harford, says that's a mistake.

In his latest book, The Data Detective, Harford says we shouldn’t be suspicious of statistics, we need to understand what they mean and how they can improve our lives: they are, at heart, human behavior seen through the prism of numbers and are often “the only way of grasping much of what is going on around us.”

If we can toss aside our fears and learn to approach them clearly, understanding how our own preconceptions lead us astray, statistics can point to ways we can live better and work smarter.

It's funny how your attitude toward asset allocation can change as you get older and the money starts to accumulate. In some cases, it makes you wonder if you really need to be taking all that risk.

Tax Season and the Recovery Rebate Credit Mar 06, 2021

Show notes

As tax season continues, this weekend we're bringing you one more episode sponsored by H&R Block.

Stimulus payments have been a critical lifeline for many Americans during the coronavirus crisis. But what if you didn’t receive the full amount due to life changes such as a new baby or lower income? Thankfully there’s a way to solve this, in the form of a recovery rebate credit.

The recovery rebate and your stimulus payments are actually one in the same. It’s just that the recovery rebate credit is paid as part of filing your return.

Joining us this weekend to help make sense of it all is Kathy Pickering, the chief tax officer at H&R Block.

As you're getting ready to file your taxes, remember that H&R Block has all your tax needs covered. Their experts have an average of 10 years’ experience. They’ve seen it all and can help get all the credits and deductions you deserve.
