It is the long Labor Day weekend in the US…end of the traditional summer holiday period, that starts with Memorial Day in the last week of May. And with this episode, I am wrapping up the first season of WhatTheFs, my labor of love that also spanned from Memorial Day to Labor Day. 15 episodes including this one, that dropped every Fri….without fail!
WhatTheFs, my weekly take on Fads, Films, Finance, and Fun, with Friends, will be back in a few weeks time in a repackaged and in a better format…so this is just a breather as I work on new ideas and incorporate your feedback for the upcoming season.

In this final episode of the first season, I recap the topics that were covered in the previous fourteen episodes.

Under What The Finance, I covered

Retirement (Roth IRA - Ep.1),
Estate Planning (Wills/Living Trusts Ep 14, Buy Borrow Die approach in Ep 13, and the PoD/ToD options in Ep 4),
Income & Tax Savings tips (I Bonds, Ep 6, and HSAs in Ep 7),
Kids Financial Literacy & College education (Legal/Financial docs for when child turns 18 - Ep 2, New CC & building Credit history in Ep 3, and Money for Nothing/College for Free through 529s in Ep 11 :-), &
Stocks & Alternative Assets (Top 10 stocks for 10X returns - Ep 10; Crypto basics & investment options in Ep 8 & 9).
Episode 12 was focused on Frauds, Scams & Hacks - how to protect yourself and your loved ones;

And in What The Fun/Film parts of the episodes, there were two movies:

Promising Young Woman (Netflix)
Sylvie's Love (Amazon Prime),

plus the following recommended streaming shows:

On Netflix - Lupin, The Kominsky Method, Russian Doll, Never Have I Ever, Serpent, and Better Call Saul
On Apple TV+ - Ted Lasso, and Mythic Quest, and
On HBO - Big Little Lies
