The wrong guy* is gonna win so the economy is going to go to hell in a hand basket and the stock market will tank and we’ll need our savings in the form of a pile of five dollar bills so we can buy milk and tangerines, right? (* I was gonna say “person” but who am I kidding? It’s always an effing guy.)

Sara explains how people always freak out about presidential elections and threaten to cash out their investment accounts because of the inevitable apocalypse. And then the apocalypse doesn’t actually come, and surprise, surprise, the cold-hearted stock market is entirely indifferent to who we elect or defeat.

Caitlin tries to catch Sara with some gotcha questions about specific areas of the economy that must suffer when the other side wins…only to be schooled, again. This time with a chart that even a Caitlin can understand.

Look on our website to see the Bespoke chart Sara refers to that shows what our investment accounts would look like if we only kept our money in the stock market when our person wins the presidency, and what it would look like if we just left it the fuck alone compounding its little (actually big) interest.

So, tune in to listen to Sara explain why all this fear mongering is way off base, and how we can thoughtfully respond to women that aren’t on the verge of a financial breakthrough with our facts and charts.

We’re not falling for this alarmist bullshit! (But it still seems kind of counter-intuitive, right??)
