Episode 90: Freud and Finance: Repression is Real Ya'll Jan 13, 2022

Show notes

Hello beautiful wonderful and amazing people!!! There is another amazing episode of Stacks and the City ready and it's all about the money mentality you've created for yourself over the years. Everyone has a relationship with money. Some may be healthy, some may fear it, some want to completely avoid it. Generally, people fall into two categories with money: natural saver or natural spender. Natural savers naturally want to keep their money. Haters like to call them cheapskates, tight on a dollar, and miserly. Natural spenders don't have as much of an emotional connection to money. It's a means to the end for what they really want. Haters like to call them spendthrifts and irresponsible. The money mentality you have has a lot to do with your childhood and life experiences. What were you implicitly taught about money growing up? What has happened in your life that has influenced how you view money? It is PERTINENT to know and understand the WHY behind your money mentality. That's the only way to improve it!

Today’s podcast episode is a rewind from an episode I had with Naima Barnes, Financial Planner and Financial Literacy expert for Capital Asset Management Group. I wanted to round off Stock Market September with talking about exactly how the stock market works if you have little to no understanding of it. Naima does an excellent job of describing how the stock market works, what it does, and how we can benefit from it. I learned so much from this episode and truly think you all will too. In this episode we will learn:

🏦Exactly what is the stock market and how it works.

🏦The Rule of 72 (the metric used to show the amount of years needed to double your money).

🏦Other common stock market terms that are important to know.

You all, though we may be rounding up Stock Market September on Stacks and the City, we are just gearing up to learn more about the stock market. My goal is to have you all not only confidently explain the stock market, but to actively get into it. The best time is TODAY. Don’t wait the market is down blah blah blah- you’ll have PLENTY of opportunities to take advantage of a down market ONCE YOU START TO INVEST IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Episode 83: Stacks on Stocks and Chanel Sep 17, 2020

Show notes

Ya’ll- I made a declaration. I want the Chanel Classic Flap. I want it ya’ll. However, the continued price increase on an already extremely pricey bag continues to make it really hard for a natural saver like me to make the splurge. Nonetheless, I continue to read that this beautiful precious bag is not only pricey, but a really great investment. The bag has an excellent resale value. Who knew? In today’s episode, we’re talking all about how Chanel and the S&P 500 on the stock market have more in common than what meets the eye. In this episode you will find:

✅ The man who gets money from our luxury purchases

✅ Why Chanel bags stay sky high

✅ Why I say buy that bag (but of course I’m biased)!

As always be sure to rate, comment, and share the episode. I can’t wait to hear from you all!
