Learn when a refi saves money and how target-date funds work, including fees and when to pick a later fund year. What exactly is a target-date fund, and when should you move your date? How do you know if now is a good time to refinance a house? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola discuss mortgage refinancing and target-date funds to help you understand how to quantify savings on a refi and how to set (and adjust) an age-appropriate retirement glide path. To kick off the episode, NerdWallet senior news writer Anna Helhoski joins with mortgages and student loans writer Kate Wood and mortgage reporter Holden Lewis to break down why refis are spiking even without fresh Federal Reserve cuts, who’s most likely to benefit right now, and how markets (not just the Fed) drive daily mortgage rate moves. They begin with a discussion of rate-and-term vs. cash-out refinancing, with tips and tricks on calculating your breakeven point, using the ~0.75 percentage-point rule-of-thumb for potential savings, and factoring in 2% to 6% closing costs and how long you’ll stay put. Then, investing Nerd June Sham joins Sean and Elizabeth to discuss target-date funds. They discuss how glide paths work (to vs. through retirement), when to push your target year if you’ll work longer, and how fees compare with index funds/ETFs, plus contribution frameworks (10% to 15% of income vs. the “80% replacement” rule) and why many hands-off investors value auto-rebalancing despite higher expense ratios. A listener case study (age 35, 2055 fund) highlights how to revisit your target date in the decade before retirement, how to read a fund’s glide path, and why staying invested and consistent often matters more than chasing perfect timing.

Download In this VERY LOOSE Call of Cthulhu game, our PCs wake up in a strange house with complete amnesia. They are greeted by a man who gives them little information... then they hear the guttural screaming of something. There are no character sheets in this game, and only a sentence description for the Players. The GM is also going almost completely off the cuff. Stayed tune for more fun with AMNESIA!…

Download We often get derailed during our actual plays, but this is a great example of how to derail an episode! we start with the topic "system vs. system, genre vs. genre" and i don't think we ever got around to actually talking about it. Brad goes off on a tangent about actors he hates, Braden start to make his own system half way through, and it just gets more off topic from their! Thoroughly entertaining, but not way off the grid.…
