• The Truth about "Government Waste," Privatizing Public Goods, & Turning Citizens into Customers

  For years, I’ve referenced the book The Privatization of Everything as a seminal work in my understanding of the relationship between government and the private sector. So given the recent DOGE of it all, it seemed like a great time to revisit this conversation—now with one of its authors, Donald Cohen. We discuss the role privatization plays in government waste, and who stands to gain from the transformation of public funds into private wealth. (Hint: It’s not the public!)  Transcripts, show notes, production credits, and more can be found at: https://moneywithkatie.com/privatization.

• How Home Insurance and Climate Change are Upending the Real Estate Market

  The average middle class family has 67% of their net worth tied up in its primary residence. But there’s one looming issue: Rising insurance rates and climate change are threatening those property values—and they might be the canary in the coal mine of the American Dream. We’re joined by Dr. Jeremy Porter, author of the First Street report at the center of most recent insurance analyses. We discuss insurers pulling out of “high-risk” states, “insurers of last resort” in those states, climate-driven migration patterns we’re already seeing, and how this is likely to play out over the next few decades. So yes, this episode is about real estate, insurance, and climate risk—but it’s also about the assumptions underpinning wealth in America, and what it means if they’re changing.

• The Real Cost of Being a Working Parent

  In the past, we covered the national average costs for different types of child care and how it may be directly related to the gender wage and wealth gap. But Eryn Schultz, a CFP known as Her Personal Finance online, reached out to say the data was vastly undershooting the realities of working parents she works with. She joins us today to share the real costs of childcare and what working parents in the US contend with.
