0:00.0	Today, I am answering all of your questions, everything from high-yield savings accounts to investing,
0:04.9	to credit cards, to how to avoid the biggest financial mistakes.
0:08.8	Let's get into it.
0:18.7	Hi, Financial Feminist.
0:19.8	Welcome back to the show.
0:39.7	My name is Tori. I'm a money expert. I'm a New York Times bestselling author. I'm a multimillionaire. And I've helped over 5 million women save money, pay off debt, start investing, start businesses, and feel financially confident. If you're an oldie but a goodie, welcome back. And if you're new here, welcome to the show. We're excited to see you. We hope you stick around. Today, I am taking voicemails and questions straight from you all.

1:27.4	And this win is from Caitlin.
1:29.5	Hey, Tori. Oh, my goodness. Can I just tell you that I just want to say thank you.
1:34.4	So I've been a huge fan of yours for years. I've actually met you when you came to Chicago for
1:40.5	your book tour. And I switched this like stale Roth that I had been sitting on last
1:45.9	year and I moved it to Charles Schwab. And I swear I used to have screenshots on my phone that broke
