8 Inflation-Busting Food Swaps
Anyone who’s been shopping for groceries (or other life essentials) lately knows inflation is all too real. It’s been a slow leak to our spending power, and averaged 7.1% in 2022. Here’s a pro-tip: Some of our favorite money-saving techniques should happen before you get to the store — including using a list (so you don’t buy things you don’t need) and stopping at the most affordable markets first. That means start at the Dollar Store, then move onto Aldi, then onto Walmart or Trader Joe’s. Whatever you haven’t been able to snag at a bargain, you can grab at a regular grocery store.

Gen Z’s Best Money Moves

Gen Z — those born between 1997 and 2012 — is already shaking up the workplace and the economy. They’re more comfortable talking about salary, they’re prioritizing mental health, and are unafraid to stand up for their values… But they’re also the most worried about their financial futures, having dealt with a pandemic, sky-high inflation, and rising rent and mortgage rates. On the HerMoney Podcast* this week, we dive into the best ways for Gen Z to achieve financial independence, with TikTok star Taylor Price, known as “Priceless Tay” to her 1M+ followers. She gives us her best tips on budgeting, paying off debt, and investing.

How to Come Clean After Financial Infidelity

You come home early to hide the Amazon boxes… Or when your partner compliments the new expensive earrings you’re wearing, you say they’re something you’ve had for ages. Sound familiar? Even though you can’t really afford it, you’ve been loading up debt on credit cards, or sneaking money out of your joint account. But now it’s time to come clean… How? First, take a breath. You’re not the only person hiding money secrets. In fact, about a third of people say they have experienced financial infidelity. You can get through this. Here’s how to tell the truth and move forward.

The #SoftLife is Waiting For You

By now you may be familiar with the term “soft life.” The phrase originated in the Nigerian influencer community. To live a soft life means to reject hustle culture and to spend your days without struggle and stress. The term may have lost a little something in translation. Take a look at any of the thousands of videos under #softlife on Instagram or TikTok and you’ll likely see women showing off a jet-setting lifestyle, lounging on beaches or boats. This week, HerMoney’s Javacia Harris Bowser shows us that living a soft life isn’t necessarily about having Chanel this and Gucci that, but rather pouring more into yourself. She explains how.

Ladies, You Need A Bigger Emergency Fund

By now, you probably know you’re supposed to have an emergency fund. You may have filed this information alongside all sorts of other tasks under the heading of “Important Things to Do” but you never quite got around to doing. We feel you. But you may want to tackle this one sooner rather than later, especially if you’re a woman – and particularly if you’re a single mom. Plus, there’s this incredibly annoying (and disappointing) fact: Female employees are significantly more likely to be dismissed from their jobs than male employees. Even in 2023. Which is why your emergency fund should be bigger than his. Here’s how to make it happen. You got this!
