Happy New Year.
If you're the kind of person who makes a New Year's resolution,
there's a good chance that resolution has to do with your personal finances.
This has always struck me as a bit odd
since there is no shortage of people out there who give financial advice.
So maybe that advice just isn't working.
That is a question we set out to explore in 2022 in an episode called Our Personal Finance Guru's Giving You Bad Advice.
We thought it might be a good idea to play it again now.
We have updated facts and figures as necessary.
I hope it helps.
As always, thanks for listening.
I've got a question for you today, a personal question.
It's about something you may not be so comfortable talking about.
Let me give a little background first.
Years ago, I was writing a book about the psychology of money.
I was going to call it, money makes me happy, except when it doesn't.
But I ended up putting that book in a drawer when I met Steve Levitt,
an economist at the University of Chicago, and instead we wrote Freakonomics.
And that's turned out pretty well, but the money curiosity never left me.
