It was 1996 when a young journalist named Beth Kobliner published a book called Get A Financial Life, and for a whole generation of women in their twenties and thirties, it became the money bible they didn't know they needed. Thirty years later, Beth is back with a completely updated fifth edition, and the timing couldn't be more perfect.

This week, Jean sits down with Beth for a wide-ranging conversation about what thirty years of writing and talking about personal finance has taught them both, and why the fundamentals Beth wrote about in the 90s are more relevant, and more urgent, than ever. 

In this episode, you'll learn:


  Why taking care of your own finances is one of the greatest gifts you can give your kids

  What Gen Z is actually getting right about money 

  Why slow and steady still wins

  The truth about neobanks, crypto, and gambling apps 

  The single most important money move a young person can make today that their future self will thank them for
