Summary
Pay down your debts, or invest in the market? Upgrade to a new car, or start stashing away money for a house? Opportunity costs face us everyday, and today, we're rolling back the clock to when we sat down with Emily Guy Birken, who explains just how it all works. Plus, we talk on the problems with "free", sunk costs, and other strategies to manage money. In our headlines we're talking Johnny Deep (remember that phase?), and talk financial knowledge. How much does the average person learn about money over their lifetime? You'll be surprised with the answer.
In this full-featured rewind episode we also answered the Haven Life Line about an important (and not uncommon) tax question you may relate to, get around to Doug's trivia, and a listener letter.

| 0:10.0 | Hey everyone, I'm Griffin the intern, or like the guys over at Comic-Con like to call me the Fintern. |
| 0:15.2 | So speaking of Comic-Con, I'm standing next to the used comic book salesman, and that poser Alex struts over, dressed |
| 0:21.2 | like Batman. |
| 0:22.3 | Really, Alex? Batman? |
| 0:24.4 | So, he tells me that not only did he spend $150 on his super realistic graphite line felt |
| 0:30.0 | with an authentic rope trigger, but he also went with a $250 silk cape, and, in the next |
| 0:36.3 | breath, tells me that he really doesn't have enough money |
| 0:38.6 | to start college in the fall. Really? Well, Alex, today's show is dedicated to you. I give you |
| 0:44.8 | Stacking Benjamin's episode 473. Stop Making Bad Money Moves with Emily Guy Berkin. But I'll admit, |
| 0:52.1 | this episode is for me too, because let's just say my Spider-Man |
| 0:55.6 | outfit wasn't half bad either. So we'll call this a group money refresher. With that being said, |
| 1:00.6 | don't enter any mentioned giveaways or take investment advice from this episode because it |
| 1:05.1 | debuted in early 2017. Enjoy, Thintern out. |
| 1:16.6 | Take a deep breath. Relax. |
| 1:18.6 | Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. |
| 1:24.6 | Sit back and close your eyes. |
| 1:30.3 | Gradually release the tension, |
| 1:33.3 | starting from your toes, |
| 1:35.3 | working up your legs to your pelvis, |
