For this week's Rich Girl Roundup, Rich Humans McKynna and Jake wanted to know: "Will the election impact our finances? How much does the president actually affect our money?"

Samhita Mukhopadhyay, former Executive Editor of Teen Vogue and author of The Myth of Making It: A Workplace Reckoning, joins me this week for an honest conversation about where we go from here—and what type of reckoning our workplaces and family lives face as women respond to structures that no longer make (never made?) sense.

You might be familiar with the phrase, "In this economy?" But it turns out, there might be more than one "economy" out there. There's a deep disconnect between what we hear about in the headlines ("The economy is great!") and our day-to-day experiences affected by wage stagnation, inflation, and high interest rates. We dig into it with the help of Mark Zandi, the chief economist at Moody's Analytics, as well as Judd Cramer, from the Harvard department of economics.

ESG (or “environmental, social, and governance”) investing has been one of the hottest financial trends in recent years. It promises something that sounds too good to be true: You can invest in a way that aligns with your moral compass, and you don’t have to sacrifice returns to do it. But…can you?
