https://youtu.be/88E0RTeTvZU Hey reader, It’s a beautiful day for a fresh start, and I’m feeling the same way about my budget.

https://youtu.be/4PKtDz1ckNg Hey reader, I haven't been paying too much attention to my money this month. Part of the beauty of getting good with money is that you don't have to dedicate nearly as much time and energy to it when you've created systems and know your numbers.

https://youtu.be/joZU9lDVM_g Hey reader, I am extremely excited to announce that Teachers Talk Money is no longer just a YouTube channel, website, and Instagram for my personal finance content and updates, but is also expanding to become a podcast. I could not be more proud and thrilled about this move, because I am personally a rabid [...]
https://youtu.be/jOjjA-OUWzA Hey reader, I wanted to dedicate another post to talking about credit cards-- as with most personal finance topics, my views are constantly evolving, and I wanted to address my own history, my thoughts about cutting up cards and opting out of the credit system, scores, and more.
