And listeners, for the record, you actually are part of the show.

I'm going to be sharing personal stuff. You know, I love sharing my business, and I'm going to be sharing parenting tips from an eight-year-old. a single mom perspective. And I am loading up the newsletter with my favorite gardening tips and lots of cute photos from my garden, including my pets, just napping among my flower beds. It's kind of adorable. And the best part is that this newsletter is totally free. So head to nerdwollet.com slash podcast to sign up. For the record, that's nerdwallet.com slash podcast. Come hang out with us.

Your next dollar helps high earners learn how to build wealth while spending more on what they value most. It's a podcast for anyone whose income has outgrown basic internet advice. And who's ready to do more with the income they earn? I'm Andrew Jinkola, and every week I dig into the real questions that come up when you're earning well. Can you actually afford that $300 per month gym? Should you sell your RSUs the minute they vest or let it ride? Is now the best time to buy a house? or should that down payment be working somewhere else?

When you're earning well, but still kind of making it up as you go, just save more isn't going to cut it. You need to understand the tradeoffs. So we're talking equity compensation, taxes that make your eyes glaze over, when to splurge and when to skip it, investing, housing, benefits, and all the big life moments in between.

I will also regularly bring on advisors from nerd wallet wealth partners who do this for a living to help break things down. If you want help getting more out of every dollar you earn, hit follow on your next dollar wherever you get your podcasts.
