You know those conversations you play over and over and over in your head, but find really difficult to actually have?

That's exactly what Death's Sex and Money does. It gets those thorny issues out into the open.

It's hosted by Anna Sal, who has surprisingly comfortable conversations with her guests about uncomfortable topics,

like the highs and lows of divorce, about near-death experiences and funny one-night stands.

All of these things shape the way we live and the decisions we make.

Some of her guests are famous, some not, and very often they're from the community of listeners, all talking about what we're figuring out as we go along.

That was all before I actually learned anything about money.

I'm Janelia Spinal, an online new podcast financially inclined from Marketplace.

I'll teach you simple money lessons so you don't make the same mistakes I did.

Listen to financially inclined wherever you get your podcasts.

Are you very reflective? Are you more light-hearted kind of guy?

Yeah, I would say intense, in the sense that.

Like anything I do, whether that's hobbies, whether that's career-oriented, everything has to be all in.

This is Matt. He's in his mid-twenties and he lives on the East Coast.

To protect his identity, he just wants to go by his first name.

I can't eat one donut. If there's a box, I have to eat 15.

And it's not just a willpower thing. I've come to find that it's highly tied to a lot of the compulsive wiring that I have.

I have to be all in on it because I go to extremes with everything.
