Where do I find time to think about finances?
It’s possible to make saving a habit no matter how busy you are. It just takes some prioritizing.
published: November 4, 2026
For a lot of people, “managing finances" is one item at the end of a long to-do list. Real people make financial decisions while balancing competing priorities, family, debt, healthcare concerns, career changes, and countless other obstacles. “A lot of unexpected things happen in life,” says Angie Chen, an experienced retirement researcher and EFE’s Director of Institutional Thought Leadership. “Getting dinner on the table and thinking about ‘Do I have enough emergency savings?’ is something most people don’t have time for.”
This is an episode about the power of just getting started. Angie and host Michael Liersch talk about how to start small, why you don’t have to do it alone, the risks of asking a chatbot for help, and much more.
