In honor of Financial Literacy Month, we're revisiting one of our most powerful episodes of Financially Ever After: Widowhood, a conversation that underscores why financial knowledge is essential, especially during life's most difficult transitions.   You'll hear from Kathy Gleason, a widow, author, and host of the podcast As I Live and Grieve. Kathy shares her deeply personal journey of navigating grief and the overwhelming financial aftermath that followed the loss of her husband.   This episode is a powerful call for women to not just be emotionally prepared, but financially informed. Are you struggling to cope with the loss of a spouse and the financial challenges that come with it? In this episode of Financially Ever After Widowhood, host Stacy Francis speaks with Kathy Gleason, an author and grief support expert with a deep understanding of the struggles that come with losing a spouse. Kathy is also co-host of the As I Live and Grieve podcast. Kathy details her personal journey of loss, including the challenges of managing the paperwork and red tape that come with it. She also shares valuable insights and practical advice on how to navigate the financial challenges of widowhood. Losing a spouse is a complex and devastating loss that brings many unique challenges, including the loss of future plans and the added responsibility of managing all the paperwork and red tape that come with it. It's important to surround yourself with supportive people who understand what you're going through and can offer emotional and practical support. If you are not the partner who manages the finances, it's important to make yourself aware of what accounts and assets you have in case you need to take over in the future. It's common for married couples to not make long-term financial decisions together, but this can leave one partner at a disadvantage if they need to take over after a spouse's passing. Prioritizing tasks and taking care of practical matters can help you begin to work on yourself and heal after a loss.

It's the last Monday of Financial Literacy Month 2025, and unless you've been living under a rock or blissfully disconnected, you've probably heard the noise about tariffs lately. U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports are climbing as high as 145%, with threats to go even higher. And while it's tempting to think that's a political issue, the truth is tariffs effect your wallet and budget. In this episode, we're breaking down what tariffs actually are, how they distort prices, and why understanding how prices are shaped has never been more important. Because if you don't understand how prices are set, you don't really understand how money moves, and in a world where price tags lie, shrink, surge, and shapeshift every few months, that's not just an economic problem. That's a literacy problem.We cover:Why it's so hard to  just "make everything in America", even if you want toHow companies quietly pass tariff costs onto you and how to spot itReal-world tools to build price literacy and become a sharper consumer and investorWhat it means to see yourself as part of the global exchange, and why that gives you more financial power, not less.Links: Kim Lewis reel on luxury prices (bonus: watch our interview with Kim here) CamelCamelCamel - Amazon Price TrackerGoogle Chrome Price Tracker  Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.

“Slow and steady wins the race” – truer words were never spoken when you start investing in yourself. It's Financial Literacy Month and it's the perfect time to figure out how to make your dreams a reality! This week, we are joined by Christopher Cobb, Financial Strategist and Founder of The Chosen Agency. This retired corporate insurance agent launched his own brokerage and has amassed over 6 million views on TikTok. Find out how to maximize your current income – yes, even your part time job – and see how the insurance industry can help compliment your lifestyle. ⁠ Mr. Cobb completed his Bachelor of Science in Sports Management at The University of Georgia. As the youngest of three in a family of educators from Hartwell, Georgia, he began his career as an underwriter at Travelers Insurance. Corporate life had always been the dream, but he quickly realized he was more drawn to people than paperwork. As a side hustle in 2018, he received his life insurance license and discovered his passion for both the industry and the business. By 2020, he took the leap and launched the Chosen Agency full-time. Since then, he has helped thousands of families on their path to financial freedom and he has mentored agents across the country.

In this eye-opening second episode of our Financial Literacy Month series, Monick Halm dives deep into the powerful concept of the Cash Flow Quadrant and how it can radically shift the way you view work, income, and true wealth. If you've ever felt stuck in the cycle of trading time for money or wondered how to create lasting financial freedom, this episode is your wake-up call.Monick peels back the layers of traditional financial thinking and exposes the flaws in the "go to school, get a job, retire someday" model that so many of us were taught. Instead, she introduces a more aligned, intuitive path to wealth—one that honors your time, energy, and femininity. Drawing from Robert Kiyosaki's Cash Flow Quadrant framework, she breaks down each quadrant (Employee, Self-Employed, Business Owner, Investor) and explains why shifting from the left side (E and S) to the right side (B and I) is the key to building a life of ease, freedom, and sovereignty.You'll learn:What the Cash Flow Quadrant really is—and why most people are stuck in the high-tax, low-control side.How to identify which quadrant you're currently operating from and what it means for your financial future.The seven streams of income every millionaire builds (and how you can too).How to create multiple legs under your financial table—so your stability doesn't collapse if one stream disappears.The difference between active and passive income, and how to intentionally shift toward income that works even when you don't.This episode is Financial Literacy 2.0—with soul. Monick doesn't just teach financial concepts; she empowers you to step into a new relationship with wealth that's based on trust, intuition, joy, and alignment. With personal stories of her own transition from overworked lawyer (E) to empowered business owner and investor (B/I), she offers practical insight into how you, too, can create a sustainable and scalable path to abundance.You'll also hear about Monick's upcoming Millionaire Real Estate Investor Workshop, a live virtual event where she teaches you how to generate $12,500/month in passive real estate income—without burnout or hustle. 100% of proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity's Rebuild LA initiative.As Monick says, “You don't need to hustle harder. You just need to learn how to earn differently.” This episode invites you to stop chasing someone else's version of success and start designing a wealth-building journey that feels as good as it looks.Key Topics Covered:The Cash Flow Quadrant explained (E, S, B, I)The cost of trading time for money—and how to stopThe seven income streams every financially free woman needsWhy real estate is a goddess-aligned investment toolMoving from burnout to breathing room through passive incomeWhat it truly means to be in the feminine when building wealthPower Quote from Monick:“Real wealth isn't just what's in your bank account.

That's why each regular edition ends with a section called Reading Material.Charlottesville is fortunate to have a media landscape that includes the Charlottesville Daily Progress, C-Ville Weekly, Charlottesville Tomorrow, and Cville Right Now, I curate links from these sources because I believe a truly informed community needs multiple perspectives.There's also the Cavalier Daily, Vinegar Hill Magazine, the Fluvanna Review, the Crozet Gazette, NBC29, CBS19, and other sources. But if you look every day, you'll find links to articles in national publications, all linked to give you more perspectives on some of the issues of our times.Now more than ever, journalism is needed.

Consume only one and you are at risk of becoming a zombie!Second shout-out: Advertise on Information CharlottesvilleLong-time readers may know that most of the stories posted through this newsletter are also posted to Information Charlottesville. Sometimes the stories go there first! Both this newsletter and that website are part of the same information gathering operation, an operation I hope to continue to grow!There are multiple ways to contribute to Town Crier Productions.One new one is to place an advertisement on Information Charlottesville.
