This Money Expert Has Doubts
from Ladies Get Paid Hosted by Claire Wasserman
Erin Lowry wrote four books about money. Her business bank account is the lowest it's ever been. She built a career as Broke Millennial — Penguin, CBS Sunday Morning, the person a generation of us learned to open a Roth IRA from. She isn't broke the way she was at 23 on $23,000 a year in New York. She's broke the way self-employed people are broke: the money arrives in waves, and sometimes the wave is late. We go back to the yard sale that taught her net profit at seven, the scarcity her father handed down without meaning to, the job she turned down to protect a blog that was making her nothing, and the identity crisis that showed up at the same time as her daughter. Plus the hardest money conversation most of us are avoiding — the one with our parents — and the exact words to use when they won't engage. Full write-up at ladiesgetpaid.substack.com.
