Often we’re asked, “Should I chase a career I love or follow the Benjamins?” It turns out, according to two researchers, you may not need to choose. At the very least, our guest, Dr. Myra Strober, professor Emeritus from Stanford University, will share a guide to making a choice that’s much closer to optimal than many people perceive when they worry about love vs. money.
Earlier in the show, we’ll speak with James Martielli from Vanguard Investments about planning your portfolio during inflationary times. He’ll peer into Vanguard’s crystal ball to look into what they expect for 2023 and then share tips to optimize your portfolio.
Of course, we’ll also throw out the Haven Life line to a lucky listener and also share Doug’s astronomical trivia.
Deeper dives with curated links, topics, and discussions are in our newsletter, The 201, available at https://www.StackingBenjamins.com/201
