This week, I’m joined by two Rich Girls who are sharing their stories about the little-known financial implications of experiencing a disability unexpectedly—and early i...

Tackling finances with your partner can be tricky: What if one of you earns substantially more? What if you have different philosophies about money?

Katie and Henah share their respective approaches on money with their partners, and what to keep in mind when combining accounts.

Retirement is a new concept in human history, but the way we fund retirement is even newer. After all, the 401(k) and IRA were legislated into existence less than fifty years ago. To assume a millennial or Gen Z retirement will look anything like a boomer retirement might be wishful thinking—so this week, we’re exploring what might be a better way to structure our financial (and life!) plans.

Short-term capital gains? Qualified dividends? Tax loss harvesting? Strap in, people, we’re taking a cruise down the chocolate river of all things investment taxes, and I’ll be your Wonka.
Fear of taxes (or maybe just uncertainty) keeps people out of the game, and I think that’s a little bit like declining a raise because you don’t want to pay taxes on the incremental income—if you owe taxes on your investments, it probably means y...

The number of young adults living at home crested at 52% in July 2020, the highest number ever recorded (the former high was around 48%, following the Great Depression—yes, the 1930s).
Understandably, this figure rocked the internet—and spawned a deluge of articles in the years since hypothesizing about the why and how. And while things have since “normalized” back to a level of around 47%, that figure is still—historically—high, a...

One of the trickiest things about investing in retirement accounts is that by the time you know how much you could’ve contributed for a tax break, it’s too late (e.g., you can only make 401(k) contributions through Dec. 31).
But there are a few accounts in the tax-advantaged investing world that allow contributions right up until the tax deadline, making them incredible options for last-minute savings.
After all, I prefer deduction...

It’s a bit of a trope that the millennial generation has had a rough go of it, economically.
After experiencing the Great Financial Crisis during their formative years, attending higher education during a massive debt-fueled student loan bubble, and entering adulthood while home prices were juiced higher and higher, the majority of millennials are now “behind pace,” financially speaking.
In 2015, Pew Research conducted an interest...

This 20-minute rundown is about an (accidental) three-year study I ran on myself.
Back in 2020, I was subjected to hours of content encouraging me to use the “great pause” of a global panini to reassess my entire life. Challenge accepted.
At the time, I wrote one of my very first blog posts for a fledgling Money with Katie site, describing all the ways I’d like to level up my lifestyle—the little ways money could buy happiness.

21-year-old high school dropout Emma Chamberlain earned $12 million in 2021. How’d she do it? Glad you asked. She’s a successful YouTuber who parlayed her internet prominence into major brand deals (and a coffee company).
