Money: How Money Works - Youtube/HowMediaGroup
Ramit started his site way back in 2004 when he was studying tech and psych at Stanford. College was a struggle for him, and he had to find ways to pay for it myself. So he hustled and applied to over 60 scholarships and ended up scoring enough dough to finish both my undergrad and grad degrees. But then, he made a classic rookie mistake – invested his first scholarship check in the stock market and lost half of it. Facepalm. That’s when he knew he had to figure out how to make money work for him.
You know that old story "The Emperor Has No Clothes"? he realized that most money advice out there is just as irrelevant as that naked emperor. It's all about cutting back and restricting yourself from all the things you love. Like, who wants to be told they can't have a latte or go on vacation? No thank you, sir! Plus, the whole money game is so darn confusing. I mean, 401(K)s, HSAs, FSAs, asset allocation, P/E ratios, estate taxes…what the heck is all this stuff? And who can you really trust to guide you through it?
But you know what's missing from all that jargon? Money psychology. Yeah, it's not just about the math, my friends. It's about the way you think and feel about money. And that's where he comes in. So tune in, subscribe, and let's get your money mindset in check.
The Mormon Church, one of the world's largest hedge funds, has been fined $5 million by the Securities and Exchange Commission for failing to report stock holdings.
The church collects at least $7 billion annually in tax-deductible tithes from members, but is not required to disclose its income. The excess funds are funneled into a trust managed by the Corporation of the President of the Church, which owns for-profit companies including an insurance, investment and retirement services company, a radio station, and a real estate management company.
Learn how mega-church finances work by understanding How Money Works.

Alright, listen up folks! We've got a trio of Swedes here - an Organizer, a Designer, and a Psychologist - who go by the name of Death Cleaners! They've just landed in America to help a few people face the grim reality of our own mortality.
But don't worry, they're not here to bum you out. These folks are all about reminding us to live our best lives while we're still kicking. So, buckle up and get ready to embrace your mortality with the Death Cleaners!
Swedish Death Cleaning might sound like something out of a horror movie, but it's actually a helpful way to get organized and simplify your life. Basically, it's like a Scandinavian version of Marie Kondo's Konmari Method, but with a darker twist.
The idea is to clean out all your stuff before you die, so your loved ones don't have to deal with it after you're gone. Margareta Magnussen, the author of The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, provides a checklist for getting started. Step one: go through your wardrobe.
Step two: get rid of anything that takes up too much space. And step three: tackle your digital clutter. Think of it as a way to free yourself and your family from a lifetime of unnecessary stuff.
