Season 1, Episode 5: Like, literally, what is a stock?

We're circling back to the basics: stocks, bonds, index funds and tuxedos. Watch out for a lot of grocery shopping metaphors because it turns out the stock market is an *actual* market with shares on the shelves instead of cereal boxes.

We talk about the secret to not having to learn anything about individual stocks but still invest and how Monopoly isn't the *worst* way to learn a thing or two about bonds.

Oh! And Sara explains the moneyed depths of the ultra secret bond market (who knew??).

This week the one thing Women on the Verge of a Financial Breakthrough can do TODAY to take the first, or next, step towards building a strong financial future involves looking in your money mirror and taking notes on what you see.
