Summary

Ask any woman on the street today, and she’ll probably tell you she’s shouldering more worry, more responsibility, more of the invisible “mental load” than ever before. And. We. Are. Exhausted. But what’s to be done? Eve Rodsky, author of “Fair Play” walks us through the steps we can take to level the playing field in our homes, and change the dynamic of women shouldering the brunt of childrearing and domestic responsibilities. In Mailbag, Jean advises a woman looking for a lower management fee for her retirement account, and guides a mom on 529 investing. Lastly, in Thrive, Jean dishes on how to control financial clutter in four simple steps.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

household to maintain just an FYI like I did not make the bed this morning. I can't remember how many years it has been since I did not make the bed and it's one of those things that would normally stress me out, but I just gave up today. And I think that's the same thing
