Today at 5PM Pacific/8PM Eastern is our 💯th episode of Talking Dough 💰 and Eating Donuts 🍩. Can’t believe we have been at this for so long and I’ve eaten more than 100 donuts. Thanks to the lovely subscribers who join every week to talk economics, finance, cats, and sometimes figure skating and planners. And thanks to for so many creative vegan donuts.

Sent out another round of Purrsonal Finance Society stickers this Morning. Thank you so much to our patreon supporters who make all the community work that OMD does paw-sible. This year we have taught finance workshops to 302 people experiencing homelessness, escaping unsafe living situations, serving in AmeriCorps, aging out of foster care, or living with HIV. The average age of our workshop participants is 19 years old. Thank you to all our community partners working day in and day out to meet the needs of these folks. And thanks to our patrons for making it possible for me to help provide financial literacy training and cat filled financial books for these orgs at no cost to them. 💕💕 it means a lot.
