Real Simple's Editorial Guidelines Updated on March 29, 2021 Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: Emma Darvick When we think about money, there's a lot to cover—making it, saving it, investing it, giving it, spending it, and—sometimes, hardest of all—talking about it. In Real Simple's new podcast, Money Confidential, we talk about your (confidential) money problems, offering smart, practical, and completely doable solutions to help you work toward your long- and short-term financial goals. From investing beyond your 401(k) to paying off student debt while saving for the future—and even tackling the stress that comes with mixing money and relationships—we have real conversations about money, and offer solutions that actually work. Interested? Check out our weekly episodes, where we've already covered some key financial issues. But we're also looking for women of all ages and backgrounds to tell us their money story, and get free professional advice from our team of experts. Interested in having your money question featured on an upcoming episode? Submit your info here. Here's how it works: You give us all your basic details (age, salary, assets, debts, goals), and our host will convene a panel of pertinent professionals to discuss your dilemma (anonymously, of course) and come up with actionable, substantive changes you can implement to work toward a more sound financial future.
