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?
But the problems that plague us aren’t unsolvable, and in fact, other places have solved them with tactics that are within reach. So this episode, featuring the author of Another World is Possible,...

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.

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 ...

Given private equity’s reach (1 in 25 work for a business owned by a PE firm), the industry has the power to shape work culture at scale, for better or for worse. And ironically, that’s exactly why Pete Stavros, co-head of global private equity for KKR, thinks he’s in a unique position to bring employee ownership to the mainstream.
Pete’s goal? To dramatically expand the number of Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) that grant...

2025’s financial news cycle feels like a broken wind-up doll, where recession indicators, unemployment numbers, inflation data, and tax cuts are #JustTheTip of an unsettling iceberg. So, this week, we’re joined by economist Kathryn Edwards (aka “Keds Economist”), and I got to ask her about:
