## Resource

Why are we hooked on negative news? Luke Kemeys of Keep the Change joins us to dissect the media "doom loop" and how the algorithmic bias towards negativity impacts money decisions.  We discuss the psychological impact of hitting your first $100,000 milestone and why compounding returns feel completely different after you cross that barrier.
