Here’s a shock: our least favorite brokerage company is in the news again with some monster hidden fees. Robinhood is accused of charging customers a huge “spread” between the amount option buyers pay and the amount sellers receive. While this isn’t a charge on the statement, it’s a lot of money (nearly double) that other companies charge. This topic got us thinking: what hidden charges, expenses, and costs exist in our life that we overlook or choose to ignore? How much are all of THESE costs adding up? We have the perfect triumvirate for this discussion. Jen Smith, one half of the Frugal Friends duo joins us (they talk consumption non-stop on their podcast). Roger Whitney chimes in (his Retirement Answer Man helps people control excess costs in retirement or when prepping). OG also joins in, with all of his experience helping clients reach their goals. It’s a wide ranging, fun discussion, from the cost of pollution to hidden Doordash costs we didn’t know about! Of course, halfway through this episode, we take a break to challenge these contributors to a round of Doug’s epic trivia.

What Hidden Fees and Costs are Sneaking Money From Your Wallet
Even seasoned investors make impulsive mistakes. I once threw $500 into a stock just because the CEO bought shares. Was it smart? Not really—it was like gambling. Before you jump on trends like AI, ask yourself: are you investing or just rolling the dice?

Health or Money in Retirement? Which Is More Important? | LIVE Roundtable Recording
Learn the secrets behind never worrying about saving money again! We share the story of an individual who invested early and effectively, reaching financial security by 25, and how YOU can apply these principles regardless of age. Our main discussion highlights how to achieve financial freedom and the importance of staying disciplined with your savings over time, offering valuable insights into the pitfalls and opportunities of early investing and the flexibility it can bring to your lifestyle choices later on. Plus, we explore the balance between traditional investments and investing in personal growth opportunities for a brighter financial future. In our TikTok minute, comedian Greg Warren addresses compounding interest and how the accumulative consequences of poor decisions can pile up in life. This sets the stage for our Better Call Saul...Sehy and OG segment, where we tackle a listener's question about disability insurance, offering practical advice for securing comprehensive coverage and understanding the importance of one's own occupation policies. We provide actionable tips and clear explanations to help anyone navigate the often confusing insurance world. Doug's trivia this episode revolves around the band Oasis and the quirky history of Ticketmaster fees, providing a nostalgic trip down memory lane for music fans. We wrap up with listener feedback, upcoming event announcements, and highlights like Joe's adventurous dining experiences in Peru (including some surprising menu items!). Tune in for a packed episode filled with financial wisdom, humor, and a dash of Doug's signature fun facts.
