August 09, 2023Beauty Is $$$: How to Hop Off The "Hot Girl Hamster Wheel"
Today's episode throws it back to a concept I first wrote about several years ago: The Hot Girl Hamster Wheel. It refers to the expensive maintenance that “traditional female beauty ideals” prescribe: haircuts, manis/pedis, spray tans...the list goes on. But why is this never covered in personal finance sector, despite how much these costs add up?
We dig into the numbers, the effects beauty has on our self-esteem and the world around us, and how to do a Hot Girl Detox to reclaim your time (and wallet). I'm joined by Jessica DeFino, a beauty culture critic, author of The Unpublishable (https://jessicadefino.substack.com/), and journalist who's been called "the woman the beauty industry fears."

August 07, 2023Rich Girl Roundup: How Do Targeted Ads Influence Our Spending?
One reader notes: Back in the 80s and 90s, marketing reached us via malls and television. But today, it's as easy as opening up your phone and having access to 1-click shipping. How has targeted marketing changed our approach to spending, and where can we draw the line?

July 26, 2023Does The “Perfect Save Rate” Exist? I Figured It Out
The biggest money question we have is usually: How do I enjoy my life now and plan for enjoying it later? If we go too far in either direction, we're sacrificing the quality of our lives at one point or another.
So does the “perfect” save rate exist that optimizes for both now and the future? And if so, what is the ideal percentage of our income to save that would work for most people, most of the time? Here's the number I landed at, and why.

July 19, 2023How "Rent vs. Buy" Shifted in 2023
The only thing worse than a post-pandemic rental market? A post-pandemic buyer’s market. I sat down with Zillow’s Head of Rentals Communication to talk about how the rental market has evolved over the last three years, and the one variable that might just make buying your home right now worth it. Plus, I share the numbers and rationale behind our own decision to continue renting near Sacramento, California.
What are your considerations when picking a place to live? How are you making the rent vs. buy decision in 2023? Email us at [email protected].
