How do I transition my long-term brokerage account to a shorter-term savings goal, like a house? That’s the question we’re unpacking on this week’s episode of Rich Girl Roundup.

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.  Learn more about our sponsor, Vin Social: https://www.vinsocial.vip Transcripts can be found at podcast....

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.) Welcome back to #RichGirlRoundup, Money with Katie's weekly segment where Katie and MWK's Executive...

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.

I’m so proud of the work the team did to develop and produce this episode. Typical personal finance advice works particularly well for people in a certain position (with good salaries, education, or inheritances), but it’s mostly useless if you’re not earning enough to make ends meet. To make matters more complex, the way some government assistance programs currently work can paradoxically make it...

“Dude, why is being alive so expensive?”—an actual sentence I said aloud to Henah back in January when my dog needed surgery, my husband and I got a giant tax bill, Henah’s travel insurance wouldn’t come through, and a formerly in-network doctor informed her she owed them a large sum since they were now (surprise!) out-of-network. (USA! USA!) One of the rudest awakenings of adulthood is the realiz...
