    CFO Corner 26: The Most Expensive Feeling in Investing & Stocks

    Everyone's talking about that one stock right now — the one with the rockets, the famous founder, and the record-breaking IPO. So should you actually buy individual stocks? In this 10-minute check-in, Meghan breaks down why funds come first for most of us, when picking up a single stock is totally okay, and what the SpaceX hype can teach you about thinking like a CFO instead of getting swept up in the noise. Plus: a smarter on-ramp if you do want individual stocks, and one 10-minute action step to run this week. In this episode: – Why "funds first" protects you while you learn – The real cost of FOMO (and why excitement isn't a strategy) – The SpaceX case study: same company, wildly different analyst calls – When individual stocks make sense — and the two honest conditions – Dividend stocks as a lower-drama starting point Your one CFO move this week: Open your investment account and find the percentage that's in individual stocks vs. diversified funds. Then ask — if that slice dropped 30% next month, would you be fine, or losing sleep?

    $100K a Year: Your Complete Income-to-Wealth Map

    A six-figure salary is not a six-figure paycheck — and in this episode we prove it. We take a real $100,000 salary, follow it all the way down to what actually hits your account, and then give every single dollar a job across all five money pillars: income, budget, save, invest, and debt. Using the 50/30/20 method, we show you exactly how to split your take-home pay, where the "wealth-building 20%" really goes, and the one thing to do this week to map your own money. Whether you make $100K, $68K, or somewhere in between, the method is the same. (Plus: the save-first vs. invest-first vs. debt-first debate we genuinely can't agree on.)

    CFO Corner Week 25: Your 10-Minute Beneficiary Check-Up

    The names listed on your financial accounts override your will. Read that again. This week on CFO Corner, Meghan covers the task most personal finance content quietly skips — checking your beneficiaries. Most people set those names once, years ago, and never look again. But life changes, relationships change, and an outdated form could send your 401(k), IRA, or life insurance to someone you'd never choose today. In about 10 minutes, Meghan walks you through every account that needs a beneficiary, the free POD (Payable on Death) and TOD (Transfer on Death) tools that let money skip probate entirely, and the common mistakes — blank contingents, missing info, naming a minor directly — that create delays for the people you love. This isn't morbid. It's one of the most generous, protective things you can do. Your action step: pick one account and go look right now. Heads up: this episode is general education, not legal advice.

    Raising Tiny CFOs, Part 2: The 5 Accounts That Give Your Kid a Head Start

    What if your kid didn't start their financial life at zero? In Part 2 of Raising Tiny CFOs, Maddie and Meghan break down five accounts that build a money system you can hand over piece by piece. You'll learn how a 529 became far more flexible than the old "college-only" bet, what the brand-new Trump Account actually is (and who qualifies for free starter money), how UTMAs and custodial Roth IRAs work as your "extra money" layers, and the costs-nothing authorized-user trick that gives your kid a credit history before they turn 18. Don't have kids? Stay right here — every account works for you, or for a kid you love as the favorite aunt, godparent, or grandparent. You don't need to open all five. Pick the one that fits your life right now and start. Because the real goal isn't leaving your kid money — it's leaving them the know-how to run it.

    CFO Corner Week 24: Why Your Mindset Matters

    What's the story you're telling yourself about money? Not your budget — your beliefs. This week, we're doing a mid-year check-in on your money mindset. No budgets, no spreadsheets — just a slower, honest look at the "money story" quietly running in the background and shaping your decisions. We walk through a simple 3-part reflection to help you spot one belief that's holding you back, trace where it came from, and reframe it into something kinder and truer. In this episode: What a "money story" is and where it comes from A guided 3-prompt reflection: awareness, origin, reframe The one question to ask yourself in the moment: is this my reality, or my old story? "You can have the right plan and still feel stuck — because of the story you're telling yourself about money."

    Raising Tiny CFOs: How to Talk to Your Kids About Money

    Almost none of us chose the money mindset we grew up with — it got wired in before we were old enough to question it. And whether you've got kids, nieces, or just a future version of this conversation in your head, you're shaping someone's money story right now. This week, Maddie and Meghan get specific: the scarcity phrases worth retiring (starting with "money doesn't grow on trees"), the swap that teaches kids prioritization instead of fear, and why modeling calm money behavior matters more than any phrase you choose. They also walk through a real earn-tax-save-spend system running with a 4-year-old, why letting kids make small money mistakes is one of the cheapest lessons they'll ever get, and the three-hat framework — customer, employee, owner — that quietly dissolves the belief that investing is "for other people." Pick one thing. That's the whole assignment.

    CFO Corner Week 23: Stop Cutting Fun. Start Redirecting It.

    Real talk: most financially responsible women are really good at tracking their bills, stressing about their savings rate, and feeling guilty about big purchases. But the everyday fun spending? It just happens — and nobody looks at it. This week, Meghan is taking you through the Fun Money Audit: a simple, honest look at whether the money you're spending on joy is actually delivering. Because a budget that doesn't account for real enjoyment is a budget you won't stick to — and a real CFO makes sure every resource is serving the mission. Including the fun ones. In this episode: how to pull your fun spending data in under five minutes, the three buckets every fun dollar falls into, and the one redirect that moves money from default spending to deferred joy. No restriction required. Your action step this week: one cancel. One redirect. Done.

    You Save Money… But You Still Feel Guilty Spending It

    You Save Money… But You Still Feel Guilty Spending It    You check your savings. It's growing. You can afford the thing. And you still feel guilty buying it. In this episode of Deeply Invested, Maddie and Meghan dig into one of the most common — and least talked about — money struggles for high-achieving women: spending guilt. Not the kind that comes from overspending. The kind that shows up even when you're doing everything right. They break down the three root causes behind the guilt, what it actually looks like in everyday life, and four practical steps to start spending with confidence — without undoing the financial progress you've worked so hard to build. In this episode: Why saving more can actually make spending feel harder The "permission problem" that keeps you stuck in saving mode How fear of going backwards shows up in your spending habits What your Safe to Spend number is and how to find it Why practicing spending is a skill — and how to build it Reflection question: Where are you holding back, even though you don't have to?
