The “Right” Amount of Lifestyle Creep (Plus, Revealing 5 Years of Mine)
If you've ever waded into personal finance content, you’re probably familiar with lifestyle creep. It gets a lot of airtime because it’s a natural financial experience: to spend more as you earn more. But because there's no positive equivalent about intentionally upgrading your lifestyle, all enhancements are cast through this "to-be-avoided-at-any-costs" lens.
Fortunately for us, my evolution on the subject has been entombed for eternity on the internet. I dug through five years' worth of posts for this episode…and I share the equation that helped me determine "how much" creep is encouraged.

Women in Pop Culture Saved the Economy—Why Are They Still the Punchline?
If the entire US economy were worth $1,000, a few of those dollars would be driven by music and movies. Of those few dollars, just three people (of whom one is imaginary) were at the helm in 2023, driving 30 cents of it on their own: Barbie, Beyoncé, and Taylor, who together generated around $10 billion in economic value last year.
But despite this strong showing, women's media is still consistently belittled. Author, culture commentator, and host of the popular Be There in Five podcast, Kate Kennedy joins me to unpack the ways society often delegitimizes women's interests, how pop culture shapes actual culture, and the (financial) power of women's storytelling.

How Marriage Legally Changes Your Financial Rights
Most of our listeners probably know they should be involved in the ~marital finances.~ But very few people, it seems, understand how signing a marriage contract legally changes their financial rights (I know I didn't back when I got married!).
Whether you’re single and considering marriage one day, already happily married, or experiencing divorce, this episode is a must-listen. Content warning: This episode includes stories of intimate partner violence as well as financial abuse.
This is not financial or legal advice—please do your own due diligence, as laws vary by state.
