Is Pet Insurance A Scam? Jun 14, 2023

Show notes

Yes, I did spend that much money on my dog, Georgia aka Beans. But before you jump to conclusions, it was one of those medical “one thing after another” descents into the pits of budgetary (and emotional) hell. Would pet insurance have helped? The short answer is…kind of, but it’s complicated.

Rich Girl Roundup: Should I Put My Money in CDs? Jun 12, 2023

Show notes

To CD, or not to CD…that is the question Henah and I are breaking down this week. When yields are 5% (or higher!) in safe financial instruments like certificates of deposit, what’s the case against fleeing to safety? (Hint: The NASDAQ is up 27% YTD, and the S&P 500 is popping off at nearly 12% YTD.)

Hustle Culture or Quiet Quitting: Which Wins? Jun 07, 2023

Show notes

As a society, we now pit "anti-work" against "grindset mentality"—but we might actually be in a stage of self-defeating overcorrections at this point, including questionable trends like TradLife and Stay at Home Girlfriend Tok.
In this week's episode, we cover the pros and cons of both hustle culture and quiet quitting, how employee stock ownership programs might help, and what a better balance between the two might be.

Ramit Sethi on Business, Life, and Money May 31, 2023

Show notes

How can money make your life better? More fulfilling? Happier?
To answer the question, I invited a very special guest on the show: the one and only Ramit Sethi, of How to Get Rich of Netflix fame. (And, of course, his bestseller, I Will Teach You to be Rich.)
We discuss everything from business to personal finance philosophy to why he’s not afraid to be outspoken online. Plus, he shares helpful tips on seeing money as an opportunity, how to spend and not just save, and more. I love all my guests, but…this interview is up there for me.
