Money Changes Everything... (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s a quote that goes… “I’ve been rich and I’ve been poor. And, believe me, rich is better.”It might seem tone deaf or even grotesque to talk about money at a time when many people are barely scraping by, but from my perspective — that’s all the more reason TO talk about it plainly and openly.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!m2Cg!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fima
