Money, told through the textures of everyday life. A brand world for @read_thepurse , built on the voice Lindsey Stanberry's readers already trusted. Before designing anything, we studied what Lindsey had already made: years of her own images, personal and unpolished, and trusted for exactly that. Money touches every part of a woman's life, so the identity shows up where she does, in a lipstick, a pair of heels, the weekly laundry. Finance shaped to fit her culture, not the other way around. Deep oxblood hues ground it all, and the serif type tilts and shifts, a little imperfect, like a full day in motion. Positioning, identity and content system. Strategy and Positioning: @stacykfuller CD: @elsa_jenna Design: @lorenzo_guareschi , @mttymtt Photo: Yvette Meltzer, @jgpeabody

Issue 41: Who’s Making the Internet Suck Less Some of my favorite follows. The internet can be a toxic place so it’s nice to have people who I have totally normal, non-creepy parasocial relationships with. People who actually make me laugh, think, and question. A novel concept in today’s times. Maybe you’ll find your next internet bestie on this list. #whotofollow #favorite #creators #rec #recommended

She created Money Diaries at @refinery29. Wrote the book. Became Executive Editor at @fortunemag. Then left to start her own thing....and called it a “jobby” for a year because it just didn’t feel real. My interview with @lestanberry - founder of @read_the purse - is illuminating and most importantly, relatable. She shares how, despite being a personal finance expert, took freelance gigs way below her rate because she couldn’t figure out what she was worth.  (Sound familiar?) Swipe through for some of the quotes that hit hardest from our conversation: on women and money, debt and shame, and what it actually costs to keep playing small. Find the episode, “The Truth About Women and Money” on the @ladiesgetpaid podcast, wherever you listen to podcasts. — 👋 Hi, I’m @clairegetspaid!

The name alone has made some parents hesitant. Before you write off Trump Accounts, it’s worth understanding what they actually are and the protections that come with them. What are your plans for a Trump Account?

530As aka Trump Accounts launched this week, and Babylist family finance advisor Lindsey Stanberry (@read_thepurse) opened one for her own child so you don't have to figure it out alone. Here's exactly what it looks like — the app, the first deposit, and what happens from here. (📌 Save this post!) Something's coming from Babylist to support 530A and 529 accounts. Stay tuned!

Are you and your partner checking in enough to know what each other actually needs? Earning the money doesn't mean you're off the hook for everything else. The hardest money conversations aren't about budgets. They're about roles, resentment, and staying on the same page. Comment MONEY, and we'll send you the link to listen. 🎙️
