“At Cup of Jo, I would like to see a talk about financial literacy alongside the makeup lecture,” commented a reader named Sarah. “The choices we make to maintain society’s beauty standards are distracting us from long-term economic well-being. Hot Girl Hamster Wheel, anyone?”
Many other readers agreed, including another Sarah. “Preach! Money has historically been an emotional trigger for me and my defense is to ignore it completely. Not great!”
So, as we start a new financial column with the goal of helping you feel confident and excited without stress or shame, we’d like to ask you: What questions do you have related to money? For example: What are some common money mistakes? Where do people put their savings? What kind of credit cards are good (or bad)? What are the five things we all should do? How do we handle money when it comes to our parents, children, friends, and partners? We look forward to tackling all your questions with trusted experts and sharing your financial hopes and dreams with each other. Please let me know what you would like to discuss. Shit
PS Class Anxiety: When you live a different life than your parents, the number one thing I did financially is, do you pay your parents?
