Hello, surprise.

This is Anna, and we have an extra drop in your death, sex, and money podcast feed this week to talk about money with the other Slate podcast host who spends his days thinking about it a lot.

with his money and also a less obvious answer to the question about legacy and what he's building for.

your own money choices. Also, you'll hear me talk near the top about a beautiful, pretty

ridiculous piece of costume jewelry that I was wearing while we talked. You can see that by watching this conversation over on Slate's YouTube channel at

YouTube.com slash Slate.

Now, enjoy.

Hello, and welcome to a very special episode of, well, crossover episode of Slate Money with Death, Sex and Money,

the two Slate podcasts that have money in the title.

Bring in the Death and Spex to Money.

I feel like I'm very happy about this because, well, I should introduce myself.

I am Felix Salmon of Slate Money, which is a kind of blank slate title where you can put anything in if it's vaguely money related.

I am here with the one and only Anna Sale of Death Sex and money, which I feel like is a much more
