  • Great guests lately

    Both this week’s and last week’s episodes have had great guests whose discussions directly relate to what I’m dealing with or have recently. Not the same guests that show up on every other podcasts and the hosts asks better questions as well, and they are frequently personalized for that particular guests. This often results in some very personal responses, which makes the guest much more relatable compared to just responding to standard boilerplate questions.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mike Piper: Scammers Are Getting Smarter. Is Your Financial Security Keeping Up?
Q: What have you learned in your research about the link between cybercrimes and people who are older and might be experiencing cognitive decline?
Piper says families often discover possible dementia after an older relative falls for a scam. Research he discusses found that household finances can worsen beginning roughly six years before diagnosis, supporting earlier oversight and safeguards.
Mike Piper: Scammers Are Getting Smarter. Is Your Financial Security Keeping Up?
Q: What types of AI-related scams and frauds have you been seeing and you're most concerned about?
AI can produce polished fraudulent messages, automate research about targets, and make tailored attacks inexpensive to create at scale. Piper describes how attackers could exploit public information and impersonate trusted friends or relatives.
Spencer Look and Jack VanDerhei: The Assumptions That Can Put Your Retirement at Risk
Q: How can advisors incorporate long-term-care costs into retirement planning without either understating the risk or assuming that every retiree will face extremely high costs?
Look recommends scenario and sensitivity analysis rather than using one assumed cost, considering individual circumstances and possible care preferences. VanDerhei adds that excluding long-term care or assuming Medicaid will cover costs after a spend-down may understate the risk.
Spencer Look and Jack VanDerhei: The Assumptions That Can Put Your Retirement at Risk
Q: Are Americans broadly underprepared for retirement, or is the problem concentrated among certain groups?
Look says the risk is concentrated among groups including lower-income workers, single women, and Black and Hispanic households. The model estimates 40% to 45% of the population is at risk of shortfalls, while regular saving and accounting for long-term-care costs materially affect the results.
Robin Wigglesworth: Why Bonds Are Behind Every Financial Boom and Bust
Q: What lessons from Poirier and the 19th-century bond markets apply to today's AI-driven capex boom?
The episode argues that while debt enables big leaps, speculative frenzies can cause systemic shocks; the key is transparency, prudent regulation, and recognizing that new tech booms can echo past cycles if funded by debt.
