The Stacking Benjamins Show — Business
The Stacking Benjamins Show

Named Best Personal Finance Podcast by Bankrate.com and Kiplinger — and the only podcast the Plutus Awards retired from competition after winning twice — The Stacking Benjamins Show is personal finance that doesn’t put you to sleep.

Hosts Joe Saul-Sehy (former 16-year financial advisor, ex-WXYZ-TV “Money Man”) and Josh “OG” Bannerman, CFP (Certified Financial Planner, Bannerman Wealth) sit around the card table in Joe’s mom’s half-finished basement in Texarkana and talk money with the smartest guests in personal finance, investing, and behavioral economics. As Fast Company wrote, the show “strikes a great balance of fun and functional.”

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: expert guests, real headlines, listener questions, and Doug’s trivia. Topics include investing, retirement planning, budgeting, real estate, behavioral finance, taxes, and financial independence — for anyone who wants to be smarter about money without being talked down to.

This Ain't Your Grandparent's Recession Nov 04, 2022

Show notes

How does today's down market compare to the past? Can we learn from the pain others endured during historical downturns? While it always makes sense to avoid mistakes in the past, our roundtable team also today throws the caution flag: beware reading too much into current events that don't necessarily correlate wth the past. CFP Eric Brotman from the Don't Retire, Graduate! podcast joins Doc G from Earn & Invest and Paulette Perhach to talk all things markets and recessions. They talk about the current financial markets, how it feels different than past recessions, lessons learned, and what YOU should be doing and thinking about with your own portfolio. This chat is inspired by a piece recently posted at the amazing blogger Donna Freedman's website, Surviving and Thriving...which gave the team lots of facets of this discussion to chew on.

Of course, we can't leave out Mom's Neighbor Doug! He will share his trivia to continue our year-long trivia competition, which only tightens as we near the finish line. Will things heat up even more?

Sometimes that opportunity comes in the form of coaching, and we're joined by one today! Patrice Washington is one of three financial coaches on a new PBS series, Opportunity Knock$, that helps struggling families find resources and reach their financial dreams. Patrice joins us today to share the story of one woman she helped coach throughout the show. PBS also put together an entire resource guide to help find local help near you.

We also share clips from an interview we did with Sean Mullaney about retirement savings and plan options for those of you that are self-employed.

Money Tales of Bone-Chilling Horror Oct 31, 2022

Show notes

What spooky money stories keep you awake at night? There are the ghosts of bad banking, the goblins of budget nightmares, the witches haunting your net worth statement...and even some scary stories about retirement. Jaspreet Singh joins us today to share some of his personal financial lessons. He's now a successful entrepreneur money coach, running the Minority Mindset YouTube channel and market briefs newsletter, but his success didn't happen overnight. His family expected him to become a doctor, but he had his own plans. He talks about real estate mistakes, business mistakes, and why more money doesn't always solve problems.

Then we're continuing the Halloween fun with Chuck Jaffe's epic Halloween game. The host of the popular Money Life podcast is back this year to share how he's teaching kids AND celebrating with the neighborhood, and hopefully gives you some ideas too. We'll also answer Lisa's question about whether to keep her qualified annuity or roll it over to an IRA. And Doug will share his horror trivia.

Building a Financially Independent Family Oct 24, 2022

Doug Nordman isn't your typical dad. While other fathers were out working, Doug was busy surfing, because he'd focused on financial independence from an early age.
