Summary

In this week's Rich Girl Roundup, Rich Girl Carolynn responds to our most recent full episode on cognitive dissonance asking if access to large amounts of credit is inadvertently keeping everyone complacent, rather than fighting against wealth inequality. We dig into this potential response as well as other reasons Americans feel powerless in our economic circumstances today. Rich Girl Roundup is Money with Katie's weekly segment where Katie and her Executive Producer Henah answer your burning money questions. Each month, we'll put out a call for questions on her Instagram (@moneywithkatie). New episodes every week.
