    Mother’s Day Mailbag: I just went through a divorce. How do I make sure we’re financial exes as well?
    May 10 2024
    In this special Mother’s Day Mailbag edition, Jean talks to mother-daughter duo Mollie and Chris about Mollie’s recent divorce. Jean addresses questions on how to make sure Mollie’s ex-husband's finances are no longer tied to hers, and we tackle how best to combine Mollie’s multiple retirement accounts.

Takeaways: Closing a joint bank account and starting fresh is the best option after a divorce. Having an ex-spouse's name on a credit card does not impact the primary cardholder's credit, but it can be removed by contacting the credit card company. Rent payments can be reported to credit bureaus through services, which can help build credit for individuals with thin credit files. Consolidating multiple retirement accounts into one brokerage account can make it easier to manage and monitor investments. Converting traditional retirement accounts to Roth accounts can be beneficial for long-term growth, but it's important to consider the tax implications. Maintaining a good credit score and making solid financial decisions are key to navigating post-divorce financial challenges.

  • Ep 422: Media, Money, and Messy Women

    Ep 422: Media, Money, and Messy Women
    May 8 2024
    Money touches everything in our lives. And for women, who have long been documented to earn less than men, save less than men, and invest less than men, the stereotype is often that we’re doing money “wrong.” But it’s getting old. We know that statistically, women are better investors than men are, we fare better during times of recession, and we’re often more thoughtful about our budgets. Yet the stereotypes persist: the “girl math” trend of recent years tried to insinuate that we’re messy and unreliable with numbers, and countless female characters in pop culture (those in Fleabag, Sex and the City, and Girls, to name a few) just can’t seem to get their finances together, no matter how hard they try. We say enough is enough. And we aren’t the only ones. Jo Piazza feels the same way — which is exactly why she flipped the script for the main character in her new novel The Sicilian Inheritance. Listen in to hear her story. In Mailbag, we hear from a listener whose 18-year-old son is looking for the best ways to start to build credit, and we hear from a woman who is about to have her first baby and is being pressured by friends to make big (and expensive!) life changes. Chapters: 00:00:00: Introduction 00:06:32: Portrayal of women in finance and media 00:10:03: Strategies for managing work and family life 00:21:22: Managing the impact of social media 00:25:40: Transition to mailbag segment 00:26:01: Financial advice for young adults and credit cards 00:30:20: Lifestyle changes after having a baby Takeaways: Women are often portrayed as messy and unreliable in finance and media, perpetuating stereotypes that can be damaging and untrue. The influencer culture on social media can create an expectation gap between real life and the curated images and lifestyles portrayed online. Financial influencers should be approached with caution, as not all advice and recommendations may be reliable or suitable for individual situations. There is a need for better regulation and transparency in the influencer industry to protect consumers and ensure ethical practices. More money news when you need it!
