The Black Market Turning "Stealth Wealth" & "Quiet Luxury" Upside Down Apr 10, 2024

Show notes

The world of status symbols and all their various manifestations (“quiet luxury,” “stealth wealth,” and even conspicuous dressing down as a backhanded sign of prestige) has operated in a more or less predictable way over the course of history—until now.
Amy X. Wang, whose reporting for the New York Times uncovered a replica black market that’s exploded in popularity in recent years, joins me to discuss.

These Subtle Cultural Scripts Probably Shaped Your Money Habits Apr 03, 2024

Show notes

Writer Elise Loehnen (“On Our Best Behavior”) joined me to explore how our money stories make us spend, work, and live. Distinct cultural scripts shape our relationship with money, like “sloth” and “greed” or the idea that “a man should be a provider.” Even if you’re not consciously abiding by this societal shorthand, Elise says, it probably influences your attitudes.

Show notes

You know them, you love them, and you probably own them—but do you understand them? By “them,” I mean exchange-traded funds, or “ETFs.”
We’re digging deep into these magical little devices (everything from fee structures, to diversification, to how “bond ETFs” might be a great replacement for your complex bond configurations). We’re joined by Samara Cohen, Chief Investment Officer of ETF and Index Investments at BlackRock—one of the largest providers of ETFs in the game—to see how she’s thinking about ETFs in 2024.

The “Right” Amount of Lifestyle Creep (Plus, Revealing 5 Years of Mine) Mar 13, 2024

Show notes

If you've ever waded into personal finance content, you’re probably familiar with lifestyle creep. It gets a lot of airtime because it’s a natural financial experience: to spend more as you earn more. But because there's no positive equivalent about intentionally upgrading your lifestyle, all enhancements are cast through this "to-be-avoided-at-any-costs" lens.
Fortunately for us, my evolution on the subject has been entombed for eternity on the internet. I dug through five years' worth of posts for this episode…and I share the equation that helped me determine "how much" creep is encouraged.

Women in Pop Culture Saved the Economy—Why Are They Still the Punchline? Mar 06, 2024

Show notes

If the entire US economy were worth $1,000, a few of those dollars would be driven by music and movies. Of those few dollars, just three people (of whom one is imaginary) were at the helm in 2023, driving 30 cents of it on their own: Barbie, Beyoncé, and Taylor, who together generated around $10 billion in economic value last year.
But despite this strong showing, women's media is still consistently belittled. Author, culture commentator, and host of the popular Be There in Five podcast, Kate Kennedy joins me to unpack the ways society often delegitimizes women's interests, how pop culture shapes actual culture, and the (financial) power of women's storytelling.
