  • Ray Dalio on What the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" Means for America's Deficit

    Ray Dalio on What the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" Means for America's Deficit
    Jul 2 2025
    Hedge fund founder, author, and one of the top influences in the financial world, Ray Dalio has written about how countries (or, in his parlance, “empires”) find themselves in irreversible doom spirals, covered in depth in his new book, How Countries Go Broke: The Big Cycle. So, I wanted to talk to him about the fiscal hot potato being passed back and forth between the House and the Senate that threatens to explode our deficit past the point of no return. His message is clear: “I don’t care who’s right or wrong, but this is what needs to happen now if we want to avoid disaster.” Transcripts, show notes, resources, and credits can be found at: ⁠https://moneywithkatie.com/status-power-economy⁠ — Money with Katie’s mission is to be the intersection where the economic, cultural, and political meet the tactical, practical, personal finance education everyone needs.

  • How to Use Today's Economic Uncertainty to Get Closer to Your Dream Life

    How to Use Today's Economic Uncertainty to Get Closer to Your Dream Life
    Jun 4 2025
    The economic uncertainty of March 2020 inspired me to think about what I really wanted to do with my life—and Money with Katie was born. Now in the midst of another bout of uncertainty, I wanted to cover the fundamentals of financial planning and the flexibility that can unlock for you to get closer to your dream life. I invited investing educator Amanda Holden (aka Dumpster Doggy) to talk about the slow-but-necessary process of unlocking golden handcuffs and pursuing financial freedom while preserving the parts of yourself that matter most.

    Student Loans, 50% Save Rates, and Being a Capitalist: JL Collins, Godfather of Financial Independence, Returns
    May 21 2025
    The last time JL Collins joined me on the show (our most popular episode ever), we covered everything from millennial challenges, to his “VTSAX and Relax” approach, to lessons from his 2015 best-selling book, The Simple Path to Wealth. Now re-released a decade later with new insights, JL joins us again and we talk about: If the US Dollar still holds its reserve currency status—and what it means if it doesn't America’s student loan crisis and the myth of “good debt” The liberation of dramatically downsizing your living expenses Our culture of consumerism, and what might replace it We even had a civil dispute about capitalism (I’ll let you guess who played defense) and whether billionaires create jobs or jobs create billionaires Transcripts, show notes, production credits, and more can be found at: ⁠⁠http://moneywithkatie.com/jl-collins⁠. — 📙 ⁠⁠Preorder your copy⁠⁠ of Rich Girl Nation (out 6/10), and receive 3 free book bonuses!

  • A $5,000 Baby Bonus, Birth Rates, and...the Manosphere?

    A $5,000 Baby Bonus, Birth Rates, and...the Manosphere?
    May 7 2025
    Can you pay people to have kids? On one hand, countries that have beefed up social safety nets and pay people to procreate often see short-term success. But long-term results have been remarkably consistent worldwide: It’s very hard to pay people to have children. My guest, writer Meagan Day, joins me today to discuss the recent birth rate data, the growing appeal of opt-out fantasies proffered by both tradwife influencers and the manosphere alike, and what our leaders would be wise to consider—beyond a one-time baby bonus.
