Hi. I'm Julia, I'm 27, and I have issues. A lot of them.
Stop snickering — I'm talking about money issues. Like the fact that for some reason I think the best place to store my debit card is in my back pocket, or that I pay ATM fees indiscriminately because I'm lazy. I don't know how much is going into my 401(k) each month. I have no clue what an online bank is, or how much I should be keeping in my checking account, or how to know if I'm overspending on Uber rides.
See? Issues.
That's why Money is launching Dollar Scholar, a new newsletter. Joining Retire With Money and Daily Money, Dollar Scholar will tackle personal finance by focusing on one very specific person: me.
Each week, I'll dissect a money issue, talk to some experts and come away with some smart and easy tips to help make your financial life just a little bit better. I'll also share a couple nuggets of internet gold I discovered online. There will be money advice, there will be antics and there will be cute animals. What more could you want?
Dollar Scholar debuts Wednesday, July 17.
