Because I don't. Hollywood and everthing is full of depictions of women who are "shop-a-holics", who sneak arou

The last few years I’ve really been getting my finances together. I opened a Roth IRA 3 years ago and have VTI, VXUS, and a bit in BND. I stupidly had 100k in a regular savings account for way too long.. and the beginning of this year I opened a HYSA at 4.25%. Is it worth locking in a CD at 5.10%? O

Took me a decade to find a somewhat decent job amidst depression and wrong career choices (don't fall for the cliche of 'do what you love'. That only works if you love something that makes money).

Your "oh, shit!" fund. Your marriage insurance. Your "my husband emptied the bank accounts and ran off to Miami with a mistress!" fund. Whatever you call it, it's that money you keep just in case the man you previously thought was high-value turns out to be garbage. Typically kept in a separate bank

This year was a great one for the stock market and whew boy did I cash out. Ngl VTI is thrown around by finance boys but it carried me this year.

So today I'd like to explore the subject under a different context. My specific situation involves trying to buy an apartment. It's currently mission impossibl

I've been hearing some women dangerously venturing into lowering-their-standards territory for bewildering reasons. "I don't make a lot, so why would I deserve a man that makes much more?".

"Harmful stereotypes about women being bad with money are fiction, not fact. Learn where this idea came from and why it’s time to change the narrative.
