  • 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.

    May 21 2025

  • 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.

  • The $175K Factory Worker: What Happens When Employees Own Stock
    Apr 30 2025
    Given private equity’s reach (1 in 25 work for a business owned by a PE firm), the industry has the power to shape work culture at scale, for better or for worse. And ironically, that’s exactly why Pete Stavros, co-head of global private equity for KKR, thinks he’s in a unique position to bring employee ownership to the mainstream. Pete’s goal? To dramatically expand the number of Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) that grant ownership shares to workers: “Imagine how different our economy and our country would be if workers owned a slice of every company in America.” Transcripts, show notes, production credits, and more can be found at: https://moneywithkatie.com/esops.

  • Money, Fashion, and the Aesthetics of Class Politics
    Apr 2 2025
    When I met Véronique Hyland, author of the bestselling book Dress Code and ELLE’s fashion features director, about how fashion intersects with politics, gender, and class (and the person who coined the term ‘millennial pink’!), I wanted to talk to her about: 👊🏼 The role of aesthetics in labor movement-building and persuasion campaigns, from tradwife influencers to union leaders 🎽 Why one-size-fits-all flammable crop top brand Brandy Melville also sells literature about libertarian economic policy 💰 What current income and consumption trends—like that almost 50% of all consumption is driven by the top 10% of earners—might portend for fashion trends like “underconsumption” 🥂 And finally, how the time-honored fascination with mimicking “upper class” dress reveals the underlying assumption that the only way to have (or look like you have) a nice life, is to be rich Transcripts, show notes, production credits, and more can be found at: https://moneywithkatie.com/fashion.
