Summary
I've been getting a lot of DMs and texts asking what my thoughts are on the recent bank collapses and what I'm doing to protect my money. In this episode, I break down how the US banking system works and go over key terms, including what a run on the bank is and how it's changed over the past century.
I explain exactly what happened with Silicon Valley Bank and what the Fed did to ensure the whole banking system didn't collapse. Plus, I share ways to diversify your money and reduce risk going forward.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
-
Why you shouldn't panic because of the recent bank collapses
-
What's protected (and what's not) with FDIC insurance
-
How the fractional reserve banking system works and why it fails sometimes
-
How social media dramatically changed the landscape of bank runs
-
Five ways to diversify your money
