In 1966, two Brazilian men were found dead on Vintém Hill under bizarre circumstances that continue to perplex investigators and conspiracy theorists alike. Lying side by side, their bodies were discovered wearing matching lead masks—shields with no eyeholes—alongside cryptic notes. Were they victims of a cult ritual, a failed experiment, or something even more otherworldly?

What comes to mind when you hear the word “frugal"? If you think of strict budgets or of refusing to spend money on things that matter, it might be time to re-examine your relationship to the word! In this episode, Jen Smith explains what it actually means to be frugal in the modern world and shares her own journey of finding balance between saving money and enjoying life. Jen is an author and podcast host helping people pay off debt and reduce their spending, and she offers listeners her top tips for meal planning, reducing food waste, and making the most of the home you live in. Episode Recap: Today we’re examining our relationship with spending and frugality with Jen Smith (1:05) Can you tell us about your journey to becoming frugal?

Because we will say, we love intentional spending, so why don’t we just talk about that and forget the word frugality? It’s archaic, it’s got bad vibes, we really want to reclaim this word, because frugality is about so much more than intentional spending. We can’t be intentional 100% of the time. Sometimes your mind just takes over and you’re working off habit, working mindlessly, so we want to work with our minds to create habits that conserve resources, so not just money, but conserve time, physical space, mental energy, all of that stuff. We believe frugality is the conservation or the good stewardship of all these resources, and we can, yes, be intentional to conserve them, but we can also create psychological barriers and aids, shortcuts that help us do it even when we’re not being ‘intentional.’” “A hundred years ago, frugality was seen as this somebody who is creative, who is resilient, who can reuse and repurpose things. When you were frugal, you were seen as a really intelligent person who really valued quality and keeping their things well functioning. So, it was this lauded quality about you. And over the last hundred years, marketers have made us believe that we are consumers first and people second. So, to be a person of worth, you must be a consumer, you’re not of worth simply because you are a person. And so that is the reason why we want to bring frugality back.”…

What skills can women learn from poker that will translate to their careers and lives? In this episode, Kimberlee asks this question to Erin Lydon, who’s on a mission to teach 1 million women how to apply poker skills to life as president of Poker Power. Erin shares the inspiration behind this unique company, and describes how poker can teach resilience, negotiation, confidence, and more. She also explains how you can learn from Poker Power as an individual or an organization. Episode Recap: Is life just a big game of poker? Today will talk about this question with Erin Lydon (0:54) Where did the idea for Poker Power come from? (4:28) How women can access Poker Power (9:18) What can poker teach women about life? (16:34) What is poker math, and how do you teach it? (22:34) Playing poker will teach you resilience (28:16) Women have to get comfortable with asking for a seat at the table (33:52) How do you respond to pushback about teaching women poker?

The first is just figuring out what to do with your two hold cards. It’s binary, either you raise or you fold, which means you’re out of the hand. The next decision to make is to ask yourself, ‘What do I have? What’s the decision I’m going to make with my hold cards? And what do I think you have?’ And you is the collective opponents who are at the table. So you’re shifting you’re perspective, and you’re trying to see this game not just through the lens of what you have in your hand. And then the third and most important way in which you’re negotiating at the poker table is to ask ‘What do I have? What do I think you have, Kimberlee? And what do I think you think I have?’ And it’s that ever-evolving, complex negotiation of information, power dynamics that will factor into your decision making. You can improve that skill by doing it more and more. And that’s what I think is so critical.” “In life we never know what’s going to come our way. Every day is something new. You just know things happen so randomly sometimes, either professionally or personally. So you have to be able to kind of look at the situation, not fall apart, and figure out what your next move is going to be. One of the things I think people might learn from this exercise, too, is resiliency. So you might lose a game, but it doesn't mean you’re just going to go away and never play poker again. It’s learning how to lose, come back, try to marshal your resources, figure out what went wrong, and then, you know, sitting back down at the table and trying it again.”…

68. Female Breadwinners, Prenup Considerations, and Preparing for Divorce with Lisa Zeiderman 55:57

55:57

What happens when a woman is the primary breadwinner in a divorce? To answer this question, Kimberlee turned to divorce lawyer and certified divorce financial analyst Lisa Zeiderman. In this episode, Lisa dives into some of the realities of divorce that women may not be aware of, from spousal support to commingling assets to custody concerns for female breadwinners. She also shares practical steps any woman can take today to protect their financial future. Episode Recap: Today we’re talking about divorce finance with Lisa Zeiderman (1:12) What is a female breadwinner? (4:23) Why are so many women surprised by the financial implications of divorce? (7:23) Steps to take when you’re considering divorce (14:09) How can you account for time home with kids when creating a prenup? (18:37) Be cautious about how you commingle assets (23:51) If you think divorce is coming, make sure you know what your assets are! (34:14) Common misconceptions about female breadwinners (40:39) What can society do to better support female breadwinners? (46:49) How to learn more from Lisa (51:10) Resources: Find every episode of The Fiscal Feminist podcast Watch The Fiscal Feminist episodes on YouTube Sign up to join Kimberlee on the podcast “The Fiscal Feminist” book Miller Zeiderman LLP website Lisa Zeiderman’s website Savvy Ladies website Quotes: “The cases that I have where I have the female breadwinner, those are the most difficult cases. And they are the most difficult cases because women don’t often take care of themselves in making sure that they have protected their finances. So I would say that’s a huge issue. And women who are the primary breadwinners have to understand that they have to either enter into some sort of agreement — and we’ll talk about that in a few minutes — but they can be responsible for child support later, they can be responsible for spousal support, and they also are going to equitably divide — in New York, some states are different but I’m a New York attorney, so I’m going to talk about New York — but they equitably divide the assets and of course the liabilities. But the fact is that many women who are the primary breadwinners wake up to a divorce and even if they started the divorce, they are shocked that they are in a situation where they are paying child support, paying spousal support, and equitably dividing those assets that maybe only they earned.” - Lisa “Don’t be pennywise and pound foolish with this stuff. I know people kind of balk a little bit, they don’t want to pay the money for the prenup, but think about this. Down the line, this thing could save your bacon and make your retirement and the other part of your life down the road. Because if you have a really messy divorce and things don’t go according to plan, and I am the poster child for this, then this trickles down into your retirement and how long you’re going to have to work, and if you happen to live to 100, how are you going to get there? Because this thing can just be an apoplectic kind of thing to your finances if it’s not handled wisely. So you can definitely do your own prenups online. I know there are resources for that now, but I would say it’s worth putting money towards a prenup, because this is going to be the defining document down the road if things go awry. It’s worth it, because that few thousand dollars you’re going to spend on a prenup could save you hundreds of thousands of dollars or even more down the line.” – Kimberlee…

I mean, my iPhone pushes me these adorable pictures of my now 16-year-old when he was a baby, and I want that time back and it’s really hard. So we want to hold onto our kids, and that’s why we as parents often over subsidize them.” “It is so hard because we’re tempted to pay for everything for our kids, because we still see them as kids, and they’re forever our children. So these are really hard, and that’s why I wrote “Launching Financial Grownups, because I was struggling with this. And I will tell you, so I'm going to give away one thing from the book is that our 26 year old, she was 24 at the time when the book had been written, she was saving for an apartment in New York City, which is a very ambitious goal for a 22, 23-year-old. She lived at home, she switched her major in college which I do talk about in the book, why she switched to cybersecurity versus being in education, and it was with a focus on ‘Where can I earn more money?’ And I will tell you, when she reached her goal of being able to buy her own apartment. And while we had to be in the background, as you say, she paid for everything, the down payment, all the lawyer costs, all the closing costs, every penny she paid for, the pride in that young lady’s eyes, you have never seen. It is a gift to parents. When you let your child succeed on their own and you’re just there cheering them on and you’re just there cheering them on, that is going to be priceless. And so I would implore parents to let their kids shine.”…

And I think that anyone listening can relate to that thing they’re sitting on, or stalled on — maybe they did it — or maybe they’re still sitting on it, because they’re not sure it’s ready, or they’re not sure they’re ready, they’re not sure it’s good enough, they’re not sure they want to be seen, or what would people say? And I would just say, what if you acted as if you had no choice, and you just did it and see what happens? Because sometimes action can be a hell of a lot more effective than analysis.” “If we are waiting for lightning bolt motivation to do the thing we’re meant to do in life or to develop that skill or to learn that language or to start that exercise routine or to revisit our relationship with our spouse or our partner, whatever. If we’re waiting for that lightning bolt, you’re gonna die waiting. And I say that not to be cynical, but to say, if that were the secret, don’t you think that we would have hacked that by now? Don’t you think we would be doing all the things and all out here living our best life? I don’t know about you, but that’s not what happens for me. And the myth that you need to land on motivation, or even better, that it would land on you, that is not going to get you where you need to be. So the word I replace it with, every day of my life, is momentum.”…

I think a lot of people think this is a world just for super rich people who are really familiar with the space, and they don’t realize that you can get involved in it.” “We have an opportunity to create wealth, but we also have an opportunity to create wealth while enhancing our lives. And to me that’s that other piece of it that’s so exciting. That’s so important. Yes! Kimberlee, 90% of the check writers in venture capital are men. And you know, even if they aren’t grossed out by women’s health, they don’t really understand it, you know? And so, they don’t have a passion for it.”…

And I don’t want to shame anyone, because I believe women are still victims of the historical narrative of how we’ve been trained mentally. That we should be nurturers and kind and not talking about money and all that stuff, because somehow that’s looked upon as being anti-feminine. I still think there’s a lot of that around. I still hear to this day, which is shocking to me, that people say the minute you get married you should comingle everything. I say that’s absolutely not what you should do. You should be intentional about what you do comingle, but you should also keep your eye on the ball of what all the marriage includes." “What should we be doing to try to protect ourselves before we get to this sort of bad situation?” “You’re right that it really is hard to protect yourself when it comes to that company. You can’t control what they’re going to do with that company. What I can say is if you have financial information that you have access to and you collect that and keep it, that is one step. But because we can’t control what they’re doing with the company, I like to say the better way to protect yourself is thinking about, ‘What can I control? I can have a bank account that is in my name only that I can put money in, that no one can ever close without my permission, that no one can ever access that money without my permission. I can take a step like making sure that you have a credit card in your name only. No one else can charge on that card, no one else can close that card. That is going to be your safeguard if you ever do need to leave or get divorced.”…

The burden exponentially falls on women. Women are taking the hit. So what are these childcare cliff implications for women? First, women are 5-8x more likely than men to have their employment affected by caregiving responsibilities. And that is from the State of Women in the Labor Market Report from 2023. When one partner needs to stay home or limit their hours or change jobs to become more flexible, it often falls to the woman. And the statistics have supported this now for years.” “I want to raise the alarm for all of you, that it’s important. This isn’t me just ranting and raving, it has real effects on us, on women, on children, on families, on productivity of our country, on the global economy, and on the living standard for everybody. If we want the birth rate to go up, then we need to make it a more accommodating environment for women to have children. Women should not have to make undue sacrifices that everybody else in society doesn’t have to make.”…
