Money date No. 41: Taco trucks and mammograms
Plus, a big shift in my approach to debt payoff and some financial relief
A note, in case you haven’t already checked it out: My new newsletter, Hi, I'm 40, is in full swing! It’s all about exploring parts of our identities that usually stay masked, hidden, closeted or polished in public. I’m especially proud of my most recent essay, “Hola, hablo poco español,” about how Bad Bunny helped me understand why speaking Spanish is important to me as an American.

Onto my money date…
I’m looking back on my week and see a calendar filled with meetings and tasks — which feels pretty good! It’s been satisfying, about eight weeks into my new job, to get into a groove and dig into challenging tasks. After a stint in a job that was just about getting a paycheck, I’m happy to be in one that stretches my brain, connects me with cool people and fills my days with purpose.
Warmer, sunnier and longer days are helping a lot, too. Cheers for spring!
