🗳️ Elections & Podcast Appearances


Hello Reader,

I intended to send this email on Friday. 🗓️

That was the day the latest episode of Therapy for Your Money was released – and I'm the featured guest. And I was (slash am) excited about that.

But then, you know, the election happened. 🗳️

And being excited about a podcast episode felt a bit... oh, out of place, maybe tone deaf... or at least inauthentic.

Because I was NOT excited about the outcome of the election.

I had a lot of feelings about it – few (maybe none?) of them positive.

But in the last few days I've found myself shifting from a judgmental stance (How could this happen?! 😡) to a more curious stance (How could – or why – did this happen? 🤔)

Maybe I'll share more about that in coming weeks. TBD.

But despite the election – or perhaps, in part, because of it – navigating finances remains an essential activity that I want to help you with.

And so, without further ado... 🥁

Hi Reader! I’m not particularly troubled by recent developments in the stock market. And chances are, you shouldn’t be either. To be clear, I AM troubled by much of what the Trump Administration has done, including its unhinged trade “policy.” My personal views notwithstanding, market performance over the past few days isn’t all that unusual. I don’t think it’s accurate (or helpful) to call the stock market reaction a “plunge.” I’m not sure current events are particularly unprecedented....

Hello Reader, I’ve been hearing the same questions from almost everyone I talk to lately: “Is everything going to be ok?” “What should I be doing given the current state of the country?” The start of the Trump Administration has been unprecedented in many ways, creating considerable uncertainty about what lies ahead. Many people are wondering how to adjust their plans in response. During uncertain times like these, I find it helpful to focus on what we can actually control. And while none of...

Hello Reader, Well, it’s been an interesting start to the year here in Los Angeles – to say the least. The wildfires that have decimated several neighborhoods here have impacted pretty much every Angeleno (yes, that’s what we’re called) in some way. We ended up evacuating last week – and while our neighborhood ended up being relatively unscathed, save the lingering air quality issues – it was nonetheless jarring. Of course the events are tragic and my heart goes out to those who have lost so...
