401k? Roth? Dollar cost averaging? Market timing? Target-date funds? Choosing to take responsibility for your financial well-being is often a difficult choice, and it’s not made any easier by the long list of jargon that comes attached to being money savvy. That’s why on today’s show we’re breaking down all the words and definitions that’ll have you scratching your head as you try to get your budget and retirement plan on the right track. Joining our awesome panel of contributors today (alongside our very own OG, and Paula Pant from Afford Anything) is Nate Abercrombie, from the Investing with the Buy Side podcast.

Halfway through the show we’ll take a small break from our discussion for our Friday Fintech segment. On today’s segment Joe sits down for a call with Parker Graham from the Destiny App. Do you want to pay off your debt faster (of course you do!), but also get the small wins from the debt snowball method? We’ll explore how the Destiny App is setting out to give you the best of both worlds on today’s Fintech.

Plus, we’re answering a Magnify Money call for help from Kristen. Kristen and her husband are high income earners, but are putting two kids through college. They’re also carrying a mortgage and a car loan… with no retirement savings. Where should Kristen and her spouse put their focus as they realign their priorities?

As always, we’ll still save some time for Doug’s (completely epic) trivia.
