1 小时 13 分钟In this episode of the Liz Moody Podcast, host Liz Moody and guest Vivian Tu, a former JP Morgan trader and author of the New York Times bestseller Rich AF: The Winning Money Mindset That Will Change Your Life, dive into the dos and don’ts of personal finance. They begin by discussing methods for budgeting, specifically the 50/30/20 method. Vivian also introduces her ground rules for any relationship: partners should have their own money and a prenup. While many hold misconceptions that prenups are for people who doubt their relationships, Vivian sees them as similar to car or health insurance. You don’t get car insurance because you don’t trust your vehicle! Liz and Vivian also discuss investments and determining which types of investments are worth it. Vivian emphasizes the importance of taking internet investment trends with a grain of salt because there are no real get-rich-quick schemes. Instead, she recommends taking advantage of tax optimizations before moving into less traditional investments. The conversation also highlights the unique challenges of working in the era of the 401k. Vivian advises listeners to seek out a meaningful raise every two years and to change companies if one is not possible. Workers used to be loyal to companies because they had reason to be – but today, individuals who stay at the same company see substantially lower paychecks on average. The discussion ends with financial gaps in friendships. Ultimately, friendship is its own type of investment – and you may be willing to invest more in people who lift you up than people who wear you down. 00:18 Introduction 02:04 50/30/20 Budgeting 06:22 Determining Financial Compatibility in Relationships 08:34 Ground Rules for Finances in Relationships 13:40 Goal-Setting 15:37 Avoiding Financial Infidelity in Relationships 16:40 The POV on Prenups 19:16 If You Can’t Buy It Twice, Don’t Buy It 23:20 Rent or Buy? 28:40 Investing in Your Retirement 30:58 Tax Optimizations 33:14 If It Sounds Too Good to Be True, It Probably Is 34:15 Side Hustles 38:00 Climbing the Corporate Rock Wall 39:08 Light FIRE 42:02 The Your Rich BFF “Is It Worth It” Equation 47:28 Traveling as a Young Person 49:55 Find the Best Credit Card For You 52:00 Who Should Pay on the First Date? 55:45 Are You Financially Ready for Children? 58:20 Parents Without a Retirement Plan 1:02:10 Can I Afford My Friends?
