In this episode, I share my hot take on a recent money confession from a listener: “I used my entire retirement fund, around $15,000, to pay for a 2-month European trip. I don’t have any retirement funds, and I’m in my 30s. I feel like I made a big mistake. I haven’t shared it with anyone until now. Was this the stupidest way to spend my money?" As we break down this money confession, I'll explore my tips and food for thought.

Healing Financial Wounds: Addressing Financial Trauma in BIPOC Communities

Is creating a will and a trust the best money move you can make? I thought you’d never ask. I know it’s never fun to think about death and all the dark stuff, but a will and trust don’t have to feel like you’re watching a horror movie. Patrick Hicks, Head of Legal at Trust and Will, shares why creating a will and a trust might be your best money move this year in this vault episode. It's definitely one of my top money moves to make because it's not enough to just make money, you also need to protect it.
