What happens when your marriage is struggling? Today we’ll share some of the horrible stories and (more importantly) how to solve them OR how to make sure that you’re able to function during a divorce. Forensic accountant Tracy Coenen and attorney Sarah Jacobs join us with their expert advice to hopefully avert a divorce or to help you navigate the heady waters of a marriage gone wrong.
In our headline segment, we dive into the world of high-yield savings! Apple has introduced an account that pays among the best in class and also is connected to their credit card AND Apple Pay! What could go wrong? We’ll share how convenience might not always work in your favor.
That’s not all. Of course, we’ll throw out the Haven Lifeline to a lucky listener and Doug will share some of his delicious Knight Rider-themed trivia! Oh yeah!
Deeper dives with curated links, topics, and discussions are in our newsletter, The 201, available at StackingBenjamins.com/201.
