We can't resist digging into the gals of Sex and the City one more time to learn some important lessons about investing. Is the stock market too volatile to be a good idea? What exactly IS insider trading? Did Martha Stewart do it? Did Samantha do it? Have YOU done it? Also - we go over The Rule of 37, which might just change your life!

The original Mary Poppins came out in 1964, and it still holds a special place in our hearts. This movie teaches us about finding joy in work, golden handcuffs, and balancing investing for the future with enjoying today and charitable giving. We also get into the weeds about how much Michael would have if he'd taken his father's advice and "invested" his tuppence with the Fidelity Fiduciary Bank. It's ... surprising.

Friends is maybe the best example of wildly unrealistic spending we see on screen. That apartment on a waitress salary? Eating out all the time? The crazy coffee habit? Not even a little realistic. In this episode, we talk about how to discuss money amongst your real friends. And we also talk about the very common problem of how to split the check.

This is more of a serious episode, friends. In light of the Uvalde shooting, we looked back at a classic documentary about gun violence in America. We talk abut the economic effect of guns in America, what contributes to gun violence, and how the media's focus on fear affects our daily lives (including our economic choices). We listened to Chris Rock's comedic take on bullet control and pondered what the world would look like if bullets cost $5,000 apiece. Regardless of what side of the gun debate you fall on, we hope you'll listen in and let us know your thoughts. Stay safe, everybody.
