WSJ Your Money Briefing · Itching to Travel? Here's How to Avoid Overspending. · 11 Jun 2021 podcast

So the longer you wait, the better.

Yeah, absolutely.

I spoke with Dan O'Reilly.

He's a professor of psychology and behavioral economics over at Duke University.

And he was just saying, you know, for a lot of people, while the trip is a lot of fun, what lasts the longest and what has the biggest psychological impact is that anticipation and the memories that come afterwards.

So these two parts often last longer than the actual trip itself.

And that anticipation, for instance, we all know it when we plan for a trip.

Sometimes that has even more psychological benefits, it feels like, than the trip itself.

So keeping in mind that, you know, a lot of this is a mental game as well in knowing what we're getting out of it.

WSJ Your Money Briefing · After Paying Off Your Credit-Card Debt, What's Next? · 21 May 2021 podcast

A lot of the different financial advisors I spoke with said the rules are a little bit more loose and fluid these days.

Thanks for having me.

The ability to pay down so much credit card debt during this time really stemmed from just the amount of federal aid and help that came through.

So, you know, you had the stimulus checks coming in and you also had different initiatives like the mortgage forbearance option and also the student loan forbearance option for federal student loans.

And that really gave people more room to focus on paying down that high interest credit card debt.

Not necessarily.

A lot of the different financial advisors I spoke with said the rules are a little bit more loose and fluid these days.

Traditionally, the next priority would have been student loans.

But now, since federal student loans at least are in forbearance, you have the option to move on to other types of credit.

So instead of necessarily moving to your student loan debt next,

you could start focusing on those personal loans.
