2024-01-3152 minHerMoney with Jean ChatzkyFrom Blogger to Media Mogul With Sami SageWhile some may say 2023 may have been “the year of the girl,” we say, unapologetically, it was the year of the woman. Just take a look at Taylor Swift. In 2023, the term “Swiftonomics'' was coined — because Swift generated significant revenue, tourism, and jobs in every city where she performed. Like many other incredible women, she owned her power in a new way, and the world took notice. Betches Media took this concept — that ALL women should celebrate being powerful, and own our instincts to never back down — and they created a media empire out of it. Sami Sage, co-foun...

They had been overpaid, and now, the government wanted that money back within 30 days. How much money? In one couple's case, it was almost $70,000 and in another’s, it was $52,000. Most of us don’t have thousands of dollars to spare. Especially when we’re retired or nearing our retirement years, every dollar counts. So how do you prepare ahead of time if you’re one of the one million people to receive these letters — and is there a way to fight the sy...

Recently though there’s been some backlash to this startup culture mentality (Ahem, the FTX scandal.)But where’s the balance? How can we encourage creativity and innovation and at the same time not move so fast that we harm others and look completely...

But recently, there’s been a growing trend on social media with the hashtags #tradwife (traditional wife) or #stayathomegirlfriend. What does this all mean for feminism in America in 2024?

For one, we’re still bouncing back from astronomically high prices due to inflation in 2021 and 2022.
