In this episode--Episode 9--we talk about Saving and Investing.  We talk about the importance of saving and investing and the reasons that people may want to save and invest.  A number of articles and blog posts informed our discussion and you can find them here:

The 10 Best Savings Accounts in 2015;

A Discussion with the author of Blue Chip Kids: What Every Child (and Parent) Should Know about Money, Investing, and the Stock Market (I plan to read this book and report back.);

Over Half of Americans Aren't Investing in the Stock Market; and

How to Actually Save Money While Still Paying Rent and Bills.

While preparing for this and other Topic Series Discussions, it has occurred to us that we are covering these issues on a shallow level in a sort of introductory manner, so we have decided to cover the topic series in cycles--we explain how we will do this in this episode as well.

For our fluff topic, we discuss the main things we are thinking of saving up for..

Finally, our historical spotlight was on Mrs. Sarah Jane Woodson Early.

The info for her spotlight was collected from the following websites:

Women History Blog; and

Madame Noire.

Thanks for listening and be sure to join us next Saturday.
