What if you and money were dating? How did you meet? Is it serious?

Amanda chats with finance podcaster and writer Lindsay Goldwert about the relationship between us and our money; the shame surrounding debt, and being the one that has to take a long, hard look in the mirror at yourself and be your own money therapist. 

Lindsay acknowledges the challenges we face when looking at our future in comparison to others, and coming to terms with the things that we want versus the things that we think we should want. We are so consumed by other people’s opinions that we prevent ourselves from keeping our best interests in mind--but we all know that most people are not thinking about us in the first place. Rough. 

Both women discuss the challenges of the starving artist mentality, and how people begin to treat you differently when money makes an appearance in your life. She gives advice on investment apps which have lowered the barrier to entry so that investing and saving are within reach. 

Lindsay has worked as a finance writer and editor for magazines as well as finance apps STASH and Zeta; she is a master at talking to regular people about the complexities of money and the role it plays in our lives.
