This former Wall Street finance analyst quit her corporate job after watching too many people get scammed by get-rich-quick schemes, including her own father who almost lost his retirement to a pyramid scheme. Now she breaks down everything from inflation to interest rates using stories from her small-town grocery store and her neighbor's questionable crypto investments. Every day, Emma takes one economic concept and makes it make sense. Monday might be why gas prices actually work the way they do. Tuesday could be the real reason your mortgage rate just jumped. She's not trying to make you an economist, just someone who can spot financial BS from a mile away and make smarter money decisions. You'll get the kind of economic education they should have taught you in high school but didn't. No textbook jargon, no boring theory, just practical knowledge you can use when your bank tries to sell you a new credit card or your brother-in-law pitches his latest investment idea.
