[Mary Childs @mdc]

hi, American here! an increased percentage of us saving money is actually not funny, we only do this when we're in extreme distress.

[Mary in America @maryinamerica]

More Americans have saved up some money for emergencies. But maybe that’s less out of a desire to be more financially responsible than it is out of fear.

@oyinadedoyin5, personal finance reporter at the @WSJ, joins @mdc for a new episode of Mary in America 💫

honored to serve again this week on the Money Stuff: the Podcast! the title of this episode is accidentally the meanest thing i think i've ever said to @matt_levine but you must remember i took it back immediately https://t.co/ev8I7MRqt5

@Birdyword ....i think youre onto something.
this is how I felt when my book came out the day before the bond bull market ended

[Mary in America @maryinamerica]

It feels like almost everyone, no matter their age or income, has some kind of angst about our economic circumstances right now.

Vibes are low. Despite that unemployment is low, wages are basically keeping up with inflation, and consumer spending is solid.

So what gives?

[Mary Childs @mdc]

so happy to get to contribute to this great organization and project.

[Isabel Lara @isalara]

We may be in an AI bubble. And if we are … what happens to the index funds that we and so many people are invested in?

On a new episode of Mary in America, @adri_robertson, professor of business law at @UChicagoLaw, joins @mdc to discuss index funds, AI, risk, and more 💫

[Mary Childs @mdc]

@davidjlynch ah exciting!! congrats!

[Mary in America @maryinamerica]

Is “passive investing” truly passive?

On a new episode of Mary in America, @adri_robertson, professor of business law at @UChicagoLaw, joins @mdc to challenge what we know about index funds, the S&P 500, and who’s really making these decisions for us.

[Mary Childs @mdc]

oh you're invested in a passive fund? what if I* told u there's no such thing https://t.co/GdDVRYGAc0
