My buddy Joe Saul-Sehy, host of the Stacking Benjamins podcast, joins me this week for another episode of “Ask Paula (and Joe!)” — in which we workshop through questions that came from you, the Afford Anything community. This week, Joe and I answer questions such as:
It’s the first Monday of the month, which means it’s time to answer questions from the Afford Anything community. Our first question comes from a caller in a tough spot: Her mother-in-law is 66 years old. She’s divorced, holds no retirement savings, and will only receive a tiny Social Security check. Her health is worsening,…
You know that rare moment when you meet someone with whom you connect *instantly*? I felt that way when I met Emma Pattee, the 26-year-old millionaire and mini-real-estate-mogul who joins me on today’s episode. Emma and I share similar stories: we’re both young female artists and entrepreneurs who figured out that wealth is a tool…

Normally, I host an “Ask Paula” episode on the first Monday of every month, in which I tackle questions from the Afford Anything community. You all kicked off the…
It’s an old familiar hum: Every January, we kickoff the calendar year with New Years Resolutions: lose 10 pounds, make smarter investments, create an extra $1,500 per month on the side. Yet by February, we’ve returned to life as usual. The discarded New Years Resolution has become a tired cultural trope. We blame ourselves for…
John Lee Dumas transitioned from small-town kid to a multimillionaire entrepreneur. In today’s podcast, we talk about that journey. Here’s his backstory: John grew up in a small town in southern Maine. His father and both grandfathers served in the military, so he decided to follow in their footsteps. He attended Providence College in Rhode…
Andrew Hallam grew a million-dollar investment portfolio on a schoolteacher’s salary … by his mid-30’s. Wow. He’s read more than 400 books about investing and money management, and he’s whittled decades of knowledge and experience to nine basic rules. In his bestselling book, Millionaire Teacher, he describes these nine lessons in detail. He shares these nine rules on this…
