How to Invest New Money (Without Second-Guessing Yourself)

Happy belated Mother's Day to all the mothers out there! The day this episode goes live, I'm on my way home from a weekend at the Oregon coast with my husband and kids, and the weather is supposed to be perfect. Playing on the beach, relaxing, and hoping that I don't have to do much on Mother's Day - exactly the kind of quiet, relaxing weekend I'm envisioning.  I hope your Mother's Day was just as lovely. And speaking of Mother's Day, I have a special announcement at the end of the episode, so make sure you stick around. So today I want to address something that comes up all the time: how do you invest new money without second-guessing yourself?
