Today we focus on resilience in both personal finance and investments, as we celebrate the kickoff of a new professional football season! We're featuring an engaging discussion with Wharton professor and former NFL player Brandon Copeland. Highlights from this episode include Copeland's mission to teach financial literacy, strategies for managing cash reserves for retirees, and handling fraud cases with banks like USAA. The team emphasizes the importance of giving investments time to recover, as shown by the S&P 500 rebound post-COVID. They warn against keeping retirement accounts in cash and offer practical tips such as monitoring bank transactions, freezing credit, and aligning your portfolio with your goals. A contest on historical investment returns based on political parties is extended, and as you'd expect from a financial podcast, there's a recap of dramatic events from 'Below Deck Mediterranean' Season 5.
