55% of adults in the US are planning to save more money in 2026. At the same time, 52% of adults feel worried about their finances.
That means most people making big-kid salaries still can't answer important questions like, "When can I retire?" or, "Am I saving enough?"
And the ones who think they have it figured out are usually managing their money the same way they did when they were making half as much.

Money With Katie started as a humble blog in April 2020 as the quintessential childless millennial pandemic project, a place where I set out to teach other young women about the magic of compounding returns. Baptized in the FI/RE movement in 2018, I saw personal finance as the way, truth, and light: a path away from dependence on any job, person, or situation that makes us feel trapped.
After a whirlwind acquisition in early 2022, I figured my new career path was laid out for me: Go the way of Suze Ormans and Dave Ramseys past and teach individual people how to manage their money, forever. Simple enough.
But after a few years, I noticed a problem with the “earn more, spend less, invest the difference” dogma I had once so faithfully embraced, and eventually, I couldn’t ignore it anymore: For the majority of Americans, personal finance is a necessary but insufficient answer for broader systemic challenges.
I wanted to make sense of a world I once believed I understood perfectly: to explore alternate economic systems, study how other countries have solved these problems already, and understand why so many people feel so strongly that our current iteration of American capitalism is unavoidable.
The answer became obvious. They often couldn’t imagine anything different. To move forward, we had to start thinking much, much bigger about money. Consider Money with Katie my fieldnotes from this journey: a place to get both a robust roadmap to financial independence and thoughtful conversations about how we can create a world where things like “financial literacy” aren’t life-or-death necessities.

"I’m really happy with my purchase! This is super useful and has a lot of features that I don’t feel like I could do myself and wouldn’t want to do without. I think they nailed the price point, now knowing more fully what is in it. I’ve told 4 friends already that I bought and love the planner—so money where my mouth is! I’m saying all this to people in my life as well! Thank you Money with Katie team!"
"Long-time listener, 3x Wealth Planner owner, first-time caller! I took a trip down memory lane to my OG Wealth Planner from 2023. January 2023 Net Worth overview reads, $21k invested assets total, and a negative NW (omitting real estate). Flash forward to present day 2025 Wealth Planner, and I have $135K of invested assets and a positive ~$160k Net Worth (again omitting primary residence equity & mortgage). Thanks for the interesting, palatable and actionable knowledge!!!"
“The most exciting part was seeing the growth in my assets and investments over 2024. I have been able to model my retirement and discovered that I can be financially independent in 8 years (I’m 47). I have used a few planners in the past, but Katie’s is by far the best”
“Long time reader and in my second year of using the Wealth Planner (last year I doubled my net worth!).”
