Today in episode 365, we look at the following three topics:

Budgeting Credit Cards: How should we manage credit card debt in our budget? We'll look at the difference between credit cards we pay in full each month and credit card debt we are working to pay down.

Maximizing Returns: There is one simple strategy we can use to get the most returns out of a mutual fund or ETF. We'll talk about that strategy and how we can use it to build a solid investment plan.

Today in episode 364 we'll talk about cash stuffing, student loans, and how much you need to retire.

Cash Stuffing: My parents called this the envelope budgeting method. Today TikTok and YouTube have rebranded it as cash stuffing and made the envelope system cool again. We talk about its pros and cons.

Student Loans: There are two topics on tap for today. First, we expect the Supreme Court to rule today on President Biden's attempt to wipe out $400 billion in student loans. We also look at the economic effects of student loan repayments set to resume in October.

Retirement: Finally, we look at a survey showing how much we think we need to retire. The results vary significantly by age, as you'll see.

Today we begin by looking at SaveBetter (now called Raisin). They offer some of the best interest rates on bank accounts available anywhere. But several people have emailed me asking whether SaveBetter is safe. I'll share the response I received directly from SaveBetter.

Then we look at 3 of the best budgeting apps, including one that is free and one that gives you complete control of your data.

Finally, we talk about the new $25/month fee that some Vanguard clients will incur beginning in September if they don't act now.
