Financial literacy is a big word that means very different things to different people. Do personal finance courses or credit cards for kids actually teach usable long-term solutions?

She shares her tips and advice for those just starting their journey. This episode's second guest is writer Jenny Yang, who is the financially literate friend. You either are her or you wish you were.  For a transcript of the show visit: https://bit.ly/BWME9S5Transcript Gaby Dunn Instagram: @GabyRoad BWM Instagram: @bwmpod BWM Facebook group: http://tinyurl.com/badwithmoneyfb The BWM Discord channel: https://discord.gg/dAdxj4JMER Find Gaby on Patreon: patreon.com/gabydunn Shop gabydunn.com/shop for merch!

This week, Gaby investigates the controversial FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) movement. They are joined by Tanja Hester, author of Work Optional: Retire Early the Non-Penny-Pinching Way, to discuss who the FIRE movement works for and what sacrifices it requires.

Then, Gaby talks to FIRE skeptic Michelle Jackson, of the "Michelle is Money Hungry" podcast, about making FIRE realistic and accessible for anyone other than white, straight, cis finance bros.

Gear up, this gets complicated! Gaby dives into the iBuyer and Zillow controversy surrounding real estate and the housing market with BRAND NEW last minute information. We have BREAKING NEWS on this show. Find out how companies are buying homes, why this could manipulate the market and what this means for everyone.

Then, I got official comments from Zillow's home trends expert Amanda Pendleton. Does this create a fair housing market? How does this square with housing as a human right?

Welcome to Season 9's premiere! Our first topic is one you've all requested many times: How do you negotiate your salary or ask for a raise? Gaby talks to workplace dynamics expert Amy Gallo, host of the Women at Work podcast, about what you need to prep for a negotiation and how to rewire your brain so you can stand your ground, get the money you deserve, and stop crying during conflict. (A lot of you asked questions about crying.) Then, Gaby and friend, podcast host, and devoted Swiftie Nora McInearny spill the tea on all their own contract negotiation mistakes and how you can avoid getting taken advantage of like they did -- and like Taylor Swift did. We're in our Reputation eras.
