On this week’s special Rich Girl Roundtable with Berna Anat: Traditional financial advice isn’t “one size fits all,” and that’s especially true for first-gen Americans who face unique challenges around building wealth and supporting family. How are the rules different for this demographic, and how can we make conversations around money more inclusive? Rich Girl Roundup is Money with Katie's weekly segment where Katie and her Executive Producer Henah answer your burning money questions. Each month, we'll put out a call for questions on her Instagram (@moneywithkatie). New episodes every week.

My guests this week, economic professors John Campbell and Tarun Ramadorai, argue that the financial system itself is a powerful contributor to wealth inequality, and that there are ways to improve it. Their new book, Fixed: Why Personal Finance Is Broken and How to Make It Work for Everyone (out October 21), addresses how the bulk of our financial issues are downstream of poor structural design, not personal shortcomings—and what we can do about it. (00:00): Intro (04:00): 🏁 How our financial system allows the upper middle class to pull away from the lower middle class, even if they start in relatively similar places (26:55): 😈 Why financial firms aren’t incented to make better products, and how “competition” produces services that exploit the human tendency for bad decision making (41:42) 🏡 The unique products in the mortgage market that might actually be underutilized (like ARMs and reverse mortgages) (57:50): 🍼 What John and Tarun would include in a “personal finance starter kit” for every adult (like a Finnish baby box, but for when you’re a baby adult in a predatory system) (01:08:50): 👊 Where the three of us disagreed about who should be providing said starter kit Our show is a production of Morning Brew and is produced by Henah Velez and Katie Gatti Tassin, with our audio engineering and sound design from Nick Torres.

After poring over hundreds, I selected these for how they captured themes that find their way into our inbox frequently.

Why don’t things in the US feel like they work the way that they should? Why does life feel so much harder than it would need to be, between exorbitant costs of housing, draining healthcare expenses, and inequitable access to education?

So this episode, featuring the author of Another World is Possible, Natasha Hakimi Zapata, is all about solutions and hope.

Amid the heat of recent legislative chaos, I got the opportunity to briefly sit down with the House Democratic Whip, Representative Katherine Clark, to ask what your average American can anticipate over the coming years—from the downstream effects of Medicaid cuts on rural and low-income communities, to the fourfold expansion of the ICE budget.

In this week’s Rich Girl Roundup, my executive producer Henah and I talk through a variety platter of feedback, questions, and reflections—from being “in” but not “of” a certain group, to whether you’d make different career choices if you knew you’d be working long beyond “retirement age,” to the idea that American politicians are hamstrung by their constituents. Plus, we answer some show-agnostic audience-related questions.

Today's guest, financial professional and author of The Future Poor, Jonathan Grimm, believes the post-1945 version of retirement planning (stockpiling as much cash as possible for 40 years and praying you can leave paid work) isn’t going to work for much longer. But as a financial “ethicist,” Grimm's unique approach centers the social determinants of health and begins from the belief that we should figure out what’s best for people—and work backward from there.

Hedge fund founder, author, and one of the top influences in the financial world, Ray Dalio has written about how countries (or, in his parlance, “empires”) find themselves in irreversible doom spirals, covered in depth in his new book, How Countries Go Broke: The Big Cycle. So, I wanted to talk to him about the fiscal hot potato being passed back and forth between the House and the Senate that threatens to explode our deficit past the point of no return. His message is clear: “I don’t care who’s right or wrong, but this is what needs to happen now if we want to avoid disaster.” Transcripts, show notes, resources, and credits can be found at: https://moneywithkatie.com/status-power-economy — Money with Katie’s mission is to be the intersection where the economic, cultural, and political meet the tactical, practical, personal finance education everyone needs.

The economic uncertainty of March 2020 inspired me to think about what I really wanted to do with my life—and Money with Katie was born. Now in the midst of another bout of uncertainty, I wanted to cover the fundamentals of financial planning and the flexibility that can unlock for you to get closer to your dream life. I invited investing educator Amanda Holden (aka Dumpster Doggy) to talk about the slow-but-necessary process of unlocking golden handcuffs and pursuing financial freedom while preserving the parts of yourself that matter most.

Can you pay people to have kids? On one hand, countries that have beefed up social safety nets and pay people to procreate often see short-term success. But long-term results have been remarkably consistent worldwide: It’s very hard to pay people to have children. My guest, writer Meagan Day, joins me today to discuss the recent birth rate data, the growing appeal of opt-out fantasies proffered by both tradwife influencers and the manosphere alike, and what our leaders would be wise to consider—beyond a one-time baby bonus.

I lived in Denmark but I'm Dutch, and the Norwegian example isn't the best, with the lowest birth rate and one of the lowest marriage rates

I think you miss the fact that.... if you are successful, the pie does not shrink but expands. While not perfect capitalism has brought more people out of poverty than any system.
JJ Superstar
fantastic!

I am disappointed in the "surprise" on Katie's voice.
