Today’s guest won’t surprise you if you read the introduction to Rich Girl Nation, which recollected the 2018 event that made me think personal finance might not be solely for people with brown bananas and pocket protectors. Lindsey Stanberry, founding editor of Refinery29’s Money Diaries turned media entrepreneur, joins me for the penultimate episode to talk about:
- Why most conversations about money are really about time
- What she learned about our culture from monitoring the Money Diaries comments section
- Leaving a job, even when it means sacrificing financial security for emotional security
- What’s really driving our “obsession with FI/RE”
- The dark side of optimization
