In this episode of the Two Cents Podcast, we sit down with Amanda Holden (aka @dumpster.doggy on Instagram), a former investment management pro turned educator and author of How to Be a Rich Old Lady, to talk investing, wealth-building, and why the “financial markets” are starting to look more like a casino to some...
Amanda’s Two Cents is simple and spicy: a lot of what people—but mostly men—call “investing” right now is actually gambling. We get into the rise of crypto trading, meme stocks, options, day trading, sports betting, and how apps are designed to push impulsive decisions instead of long-term growth.
Plus, we tackle a listener question that gets real fast. We talk boundaries, financial transparency, and how marriage is a legal and *financial* contract. She also shares practical advice for navigating student debt, debt shame, and what options people actually have.
Whether you’re trying to invest without getting wrecked by hype, protect your financial future, or figure out how to talk money with a partner, this episode is for you.
And if you liked this episode, we’d appreciate it if you gave us a follow and a review. Thanks, H & J 💚
