Financially WellFinancially WellIt’s Not Too Late for a Roth AccountParents often ask, "Is it too late?" For example, "My child is already three and I’ve heard that the first three years are the most important. Is it too late?" Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, discusses why, in both parenting and personal finance, you can "recover, rebuild, and begin again." You may regret a few of your past financial choices. But it’s rarely too late to change. And when it comes to retirement, you may want to start with a Roth conversion. Welcome to Financ...2025-02-1808 minFinancially WellFinancially WellThe Price You Pay for Financial ComplexitySports gambling companies rely on complexity to make money. Because complexity enables them to misprice their offerings. Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, discusses in this episode how complexity also exists in personal finance. Complex personal finance products, like whole life insurance, work for some people. But only for certain customers and under certain conditions. With money, simple and straightforward is often the better approach for most people. Welcome to Financially Well, the finance podcast for Millennials.2025-01-1611 minFinancially WellFinancially WellHow to Win the Investing GameThe U.S. stock market is up 27.49% this year. But you've probably never heard of 2024's best-performing companies. Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, discusses why effective investing doesn’t require you to know these companies. When you invest in “passive” index funds, you’re not here for entertainment. Instead, you’re playing to win the game through the smartest route possible. Welcome to Financially Well, the finance podcast for Millennials.2024-12-1606 minFinancially WellFinancially WellOpt for the Difficult Estate PlanWithout an estate plan, probate can tie up your money for anywhere from three months to five years. Your family is too valuable to you to settle for that outcome. Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, discusses how a professional will, trust, and medical directives can fit your unique circumstances. The right estate plan ensures that you leave a financial legacy that will reflect you. Welcome to Financially Well, the finance podcast for Millennials.2024-11-1509 minFinancially WellFinancially WellThe Risk of Sunlight and Tax BreaksResearch suggests that, when you invest in a 401(k), the tax break earns you an extra 0.73% each year. But you also lock up that money until you’re 59 and a half. Is that risk worth the benefit to you? Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, discusses how we evaluate financial benefits and risks. We need to keep the big picture in mind. The connection between financial flexibility and living the life we want is strong. We can’t dismiss that benefit. Welcome to Financially Well, the finance podcast...2024-10-0108 minFinancially WellFinancially WellTurning Stillness Into Better Investment DecisionsOver a 10-year period through 2022, the average investment fund returned 7.7%. But the average person invested in those funds earned only 6%. Why?  Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, explains that the difference between your investment return and your index fund’s return comes down to timing. And what if your investment mistakes merely reflect where else your mind was that day? Welcome to Financially Well, the finance podcast for Millennials.2024-08-3005 minFinancially WellFinancially WellAccess (to a Mega Backdoor Roth) MattersCompelling options to save for retirement, including the mega backdoor Roth, exist. But only if you have access.  Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, talks about how the opportunity to save $69,000 in a tax-advantaged account is no small thing. You should be adamant that you get access. Welcome to Financially Well, the finance podcast for Millennials.2024-07-3107 minFinancially WellFinancially WellTurning a Loss Into a GainWe can’t do much to prevent investment losses. But we have choices after an investment setback.   Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, explains tax-loss harvesting in this episode. He compares tax-loss harvesting to a famous incident from the 1500s, and discusses how the strategy can help us to salvage tax savings from our frustration.   Welcome to Financially Well, the finance podcast for Millennials.2024-06-3006 minFinancially WellFinancially WellThe Power of a Roth IRA For Your ChildWhen your child makes a little money, the IRS will view the cash in their wallet as “earned income.”   But for once, this isn’t a tax headache.   Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, talks about how these small paydays will create an opportunity for you to teach your child about investing. And they’ll create an opportunity for them to experience compounding.   Then, when your child begins their adult life, they already may have a meaningful amount of money in retirement savings.   Welcome to Financially Well, the finance podcast for Millennials.2024-05-3009 minFinancially WellFinancially WellAn Alternative To Saving More MoneyYou’d probably love to save more money. What part of your finances would that break, though?   Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, asks: what if you plan to work an extra 6-12 months before you retire? You may not want to choose that path. But the math at least gives you the option: that extra time at work is equivalent to saving 1% more of your salary over 30 years.   Welcome to Financially Well, the finance podcast for Millennials.2024-04-3007 minFinancially WellFinancially WellWhat You Know About Your Future RetirementOur retirement feels so far in the future.   Yet, our retirement finances aren’t a complete unknown. Even at young ages, we have data that can increase the chances we succeed.   Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, talks about how, in most cases, we can withdraw 4% of our investments annually for 30 years without running out of money. But the specific amount we need depends on our spending habits.   Welcome to Financially Well, the finance podcast for Millennials.2024-03-3108 minFinancially WellFinancially WellNo One Taught You to Use an HSAYou’re probably not making the most of your health savings account (HSA). Most likely, no one taught you that your approach is too narrow.   Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, explains the benefits of an HSA. But he also shares how, almost like breathing, HSAs demand awareness, intentionality, and patience from us.   Welcome to Financially Well, the finance podcast for Millennials.2024-02-2805 minFinancially WellFinancially WellMonet & the Reality of LuckAmid unfavorable circumstances, Claude Monet focused on what he could control. He and his Impressionist peers launched an independent, competing art exhibition that drew attention to their work.   But Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, explains that Monet also got a little lucky. And his story offers an example of why we shouldn't focus too much on outcomes when we make financial decisions.   Welcome to Financially Well, the finance podcast for Millennials.2024-01-1509 minFinancially WellFinancially WellBluey & The Limits of StructureJoe Brumm knew his approach to children's television didn't conform to conventional ideas. But he didn't care. He created the show Bluey to meet his own desired outcomes.   Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, discusses what we might learn from Joe Brumm and Bluey. The biggest lesson lies in a willingness to embrace flexibility over structure.   Welcome to Financially Well, the finance podcast for Millennials.2023-12-0110 minFinancially WellFinancially WellArtificial Financial DecisionsIt’s hard for anyone to figure out how and when we should actually use the money we’ve saved.   Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, explains how we can stick to our preferences. Even when short-term trends and distracting technology compete for our attention.   Welcome to Financially Well, the finance podcast for Millennials.2023-11-0108 minFinancially WellFinancially WellMoneyballHave you ever felt stressed out when you're struggling with one particular aspect of your finances? Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, proposes a solution: stay focused on the aggregate. Welcome to Financially Well, the finance podcast for Millennials.2023-10-1508 minFinancially WellFinancially Well15-Minute FinancesWhat would happen if we aimed to make the majority of our financial decisions within 15 minutes? Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, discusses how this is possible if you accept a simple premise: the most basic foundational financial decisions will determine whether you achieve the outcomes you seek. Welcome to Financially Well, the finance podcast for Millennials.2023-10-0112 minFinancially WellFinancially WellNatural FinanceNatural wine, which lacks the mysterious additives that most conventional wines contain, continues to grow in popularity. It's a response to winemaking moving too far away from its simple, transparent, and natural origins. In this episode, Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, discusses why, like winemakers, we have a choice to opt for simplicity over financial complexity. Too often, we admire complexity in money, particularly new technology, and popular trends. But to what end? Making your finances more complex does not mean you’re making financial progress.  You risk movi...2023-09-0109 minFinancially WellFinancially WellArbitrary Stupid GoalsAfter we set an ambitious financial goal, such as retiring at a specific age, we often feel stuck.    In this episode, Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials,  discusses why, with money, most of the time, a good-enough solution is fine. But by setting arbitrary stupid goals, we can experience more immediate, and enduring, benefits. And avoid that feeling of being stuck.   Welcome to Financially Well, the finance podcast for Millennials.2023-08-0108 minFinancially WellFinancially WellParting Ways With Country MusicTaylor Swift's fourth studio album, Red, was the fastest-selling country music album ever. But one common critique of Red made Swift wince: it wasn't "sonically cohesive." The reason? Swift was stuck trying to please country music executives, despite her interests in pop music.   In this episode, Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, discusses how we become more empowered with our money once we stop trying to please others.  Swift ultimately parted ways with country music to pursue what was important to her. And at certain points in our...2023-07-0107 minFinancially WellFinancially WellThe Money ChallengeIn 1975, Pepsi announced the “Pepsi Challenge.” The marketing idea involved a simple blind taste test to determine the best soda in the country.   In this episode, Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, explains why we wish our financial decisions could work like the Pepsi Challenge. No context. No peer influence or status implications. Only one variable, like sweetness, to consider. But the Pepsi Challenge revealed the importance of keeping in mind the context. In personal finance (as with soda preferences), context matters. Status pressure is real. And our financial lives...2023-06-0107 minFinancially WellFinancially WellEmbracing a Third PlaceA "third place" is a place that is outside home (first place) and work (second place), where people gather and interact. The first coffee shop in England opened in 1652, served this purpose. As have bars, libraries, and public squares.   In this episode, Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, discusses why our money needs, but lacks a third place.   We have our checking and savings accounts for our daily cash flow needs. And we have tax-advantaged retirement accounts, like a 401(k), to work toward long-term goals. But what abo...2023-05-1508 minFinancially WellFinancially WellLife in a SpreadsheetMore than 400,000 children around the world have learned to play the violin through the Suzuki Method. But Suzuki wasn’t trying to produce world-class musicians. Instead, he viewed the violin as a means to an end.   In this episode, Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, discusses how Suzuki's experience with the violin mirrors our own experiences with money.   Like many childhood violin practices, the environment in which we make financial decisions often makes us miserable. We’re taught to focus on numbers at the exclusion of almost everyth...2023-05-0107 minFinancially WellFinancially WellFinancially UnreasonableHow often do you make unreasonable financial decisions? Probably not often enough.   In this episode, Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, shares 3 stories about unreasonable decision-making from the former general manager of the "World's Best Restaurant."   Most of our financial decisions conform with standard rules of thumb that we’ve picked up over the years. Understandably, we shy away from uncertainty. Our prudent financial decisions are good enough. But these stories show us that we can move closer to the exact life we envision when we act with...2023-04-1508 minFinancially WellFinancially WellThe Rules of Financial ImprovIn 1997, Tina Fey left her home in Chicago for a job interview. This opportunity ultimately traced back to her early career days at an improv school. And in this episode, Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, discusses how that experience changed Fey's worldview. Fey's improv school taught her four rules that helped her to create something on stage. And these same rules can help us to create something with our money, too. Out of loosely-defined ideas, interests, and individual perspectives, something very unique and memorable can emerge.

In this episode, Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, discusses how we spend too much time agonizing over small money decisions and not enough time on big decisions. But when we focus on our “big rocks,” we’re saving our energy for truly costly financial decisions. And in doing so, we gain a new route for reducing our financial stress. Big rocks aren’t created equal, though. And we most likely can’t fit all of them into our lives.

In this episode, Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, discusses a review of Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime show. He focuses, in particular, on how Rihanna “prefers shadows to spotlight, still holding on to that one thing that cannot be bought: mystique.” Money often tempts us to favor spotlight over shadows. Almost anyone can buy an oversized car or an Instaworthy vacation on borrowed funds. But this type of financial overexposure isn’t a game that we need to play. ...2023-02-1505 minFinancially WellFinancially WellThe Greatest Show on TurfDo you ever feel like an underdog when making financial decisions?   In this episode, Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, shares a story from the 2001 NFL season, which cast a heavy underdog as its main character.

But we don’t need to settle for flying by the seat of our pants, either. Our beliefs, priorities, and interests empower us to seize some control, even under stressful circumstances.   Welcome to Financially Well, the finance podcast for Millennials.2023-01-0106 minFinancially WellFinancially WellWhy Millennials May Think About Money Differently Than Our ParentsWill our generation think differently about money in the years ahead?
