My little chef and I have been having a lot of fun in the kitchen this year, as we've switched from dining out to preparing most of our meals at home. Of course, I miss the experience of restaurants, but I have to admit we're really loving our new family ritual - and the savings that go with it. I think it's a habit that's here to stay. . In honor of , founded by my partner @CapitalOne, I'd like to encourage us all to think about some of the new ways we're saving in 2020 and which of those changes we'd like to continue so that we can better afford the things we really value. For us, our food savings will help to support our love of travel, experiences and giving back. For more ideas, you can check the link in my bio for my 7 easy steps to help build savings, even if the year's been a challenging one.

This is what she wanted to wear to the zoo, guys. The zoo! I can’t keep up!

I’m so money, right? Also, officially suburban.

Farnoosh Torabi joins Hoda and Jenna on to share advice on how to reset our finances in the final months of 2020.

Going through the So Money podcast archives today for a special upcoming project…and landed on this gem of a quote from the all-knowing @sethgodin. Listeners often tell me how much this episode, one of my earliest interviews, changed their lives. It continues to inspire me and I wanted to share this with you.  What does rich mean to you?

Hi friends! Meet @erikbruneryang! I’m kicking off a new partnership with @capitalone today by handing over my Instagram to DC-based Chef Erik-Bruner Yang. Capital One is showcasing their partners' continued commitment to their communities through the Resilience Reimagined campaign. Erik is the founder of a special initiative called The Power of 10 that he started to empower restaurant owners to employ their staff, keep their kitchens open and feed people in their communities. I’m excited to have Chef Erik share more of the behind-the-scenes of The Power of 10 and their impact on my IG stories. It’s the sort of stuff that gives me hope in this moment. I hope you’ll check ‘em out. @powerof10initiative

If 2020 has taught us anything it’s that life is uncertain. . Through this lens, I’ve started to abandon some conservative personal finance principles. This summer, for example, I went against the adage of “staying the course” with retirement and stuck my hand in my IRA. We also bought a house in what can be considered a risky market. . In my latest column for @bloombergopinion I share my latest move away from what many financial experts preach: Forgoing the aspiration of leaving a financial legacy. In other words, dying with an empty bank account. . The concept of bequeathing an inheritance just seems to make less sense today. Instead, I want to experience my legacy by spending most, if not all, of my money on meaningful experiences and investing in the people and causes I believe in — all before I leave Earth. . Thank you @billperkins who joined me on my podcast earlier this summer to share this philosophy, which he outlines in his new book @diewithzero. It totally changed my way of thinking. . Do you agree? What’s your financial philosophy when it comes to leaving an inheritance?

Sending ♥️♥️ to all my devoted and generous podcast listeners for letting me know how the show has made an impact in your life. From helping you pay down debt to earning a raise, having a better relationship with money and learning how to navigate your finances in these scary times. Thanks to your commitment, SoMoney has had a banner year in terms of audience growth, but also in being an agent for change. We had many 😬uncomfortable😬conversations about money on the show this year. I lost a few listeners when we started to talk about race and how politics shape our financial lives. But that’s OK. Many more of you stayed. And through it all, I think I became more comfortable and fluent in speaking my truth. Thank you. 🥰

HAPPY !! Just realized this joyous occasion, whilst scrolling Twitter today, as the hashtag was trending above all the post-debate stuff in my feed. How cool is that? . Truth is, everyday is “podcast day” in my house 😂 but it’s nice to take a moment to recognize how far podcasting has come, and to give a shout-out to all the talented, hard-working podcasters out there making a difference and not giving up, especially in this moment. My podcast has been an absolute game-changer in my life: It’s given me more autonomy in my career, an ability to support countless people on their financial journey. And it’s made me think about money in a more meaningful way, thanks to all the extraordinary guests who’ve inspired me and the audience. . What or who are some of your favorite financial podcasts these days and why? Share in the comments below. I’ll start: @brownambition @stackingbenjamins @helloseven @affordanything @rebeccajarvis @marketplaceapm
