  • The Cognitive Dissonance of "Getting Rich" and Imagining a Better "American Dream"

    The Cognitive Dissonance of "Getting Rich" and Imagining a Better "American Dream"
    Jul 3 2024
    I recently wrote an article reflecting on the fact that an awareness of the systems you exist within can empower you to make even savvier individual decisions for yourself. But sometimes, when you’re carving out a safe, secure, full life under capitalism, the thing that’s better for you makes things worse for others. So it leads me to this question: How do we have a good relationship with money in an uncertain world, and how do we stay true to our ethical code while taking care of ourselves and our futures? I wanted to invite two people I admire—feminist writer Caroline Burke and author, artist, and bookkeeper Paco de Leon—to talk about it more.

  • Yes, You Might Be Saving *Too Much* for Retirement

    Yes, You Might Be Saving *Too Much* for Retirement
    Jun 26 2024
    You might be saving too much for retirement, if you aren't factoring in Social Security. But Social Security is the subject of a lot of pessimism, with many claiming "It'll run out by 2035!" The problem with this sentiment? It’s actually misleading. So what are the implications for your future, and more importantly, your financial independence number? We'll dive into the future of Social Security, how it works, and whether you’d be better off taking home those wages and investing them yourself—and you'll probably leave you feeling really good about your own progress.

  • Why "Having It All" Is Possible—But Isn't Worth It

    Why "Having It All" Is Possible—But Isn't Worth It
    Jun 19 2024
    There’s an expectation on women that we should be constantly striving to “have it all.” But as the pandemic laid bare, “having it all” usually just means “doing it all,” and doing it all...just doesn't work. 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.
