*A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. As of 9/26/24, the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across the Bond Account is greater than 6%. A bond’s yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore, a bond’s YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. High Yield bonds carry greater risk of default.

Welcome to our financial roast! 🦃
From bulk ordering woes and forgetful spending to costly orthodontic journeys and unexpected money pits, we "thoughtfully" roast each other's financial habits.
Hannah shares her struggles with remembering expenses (and losing $3,000 on orthodontics), while James reflects on unhealthy habits and his costly love for motorcycles!
Our goal? To reflect on our money values, address financial trauma, and work together to improve our worst financial habits. 🤝
Don’t miss this honest, relatable (and slightly embarrassing) look at how we navigate money as a married couple.
👉 What’s your worst financial habit that you'd like to improve in the new year? Let us know in the comments!

In this highly anticipated episode, we dive into our $605,000 home-buying journey. 🏡
You won't want to miss this if you're considering a home purchase or simply curious!
We break down why we decided it was the right time to buy and all the financial details, including how much we really spent using the VA Home Loan and why we're paying $300K more than our home value.
We'll also share what we learned from putting $30K into the property, our regrets, and yes—even the part where we discovered our house is sinking. We wrap up with some tips and recommendations to help you save on interest and pay off your home faster.

A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. As of 9/26/24, the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across the Bond Account is greater than 6%. A bond’s yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore, a bond’s YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. High Yield bonds carry greater risk of default. See https://public.com/disclosures/bond-account to learn more.
