Thanks for the great roundup! I started reading The Purse later in the year (I think probably due to a Michelle Teheux rec?) so I really appreciated the catch-up here!

I used to read a TON of Money Diaries, and this is way better! I’m hoping to submit my Purse diary in 2025 🤞🏻(writing it down to hold myself accountable). This is such a valuable space for women/femmes, and I am glad to take part in it. Thank you!

Love to read your newsletter and shared it a lot with friends ! It sparked so many conversations between us- from division of labor to different financial strategies people use to save up and grow the capital and which one might actually work for us. Thank you for inspiration!

Amazing! 66 newsletters in one year is exceptional, considering the care you put into each one. My favorite this past year was Division of Labor 11: the focus on the single mother. And I appreciate everyone's honesty and reflection in sharing their lives online.

I loved this recap, thank you for sharing it! I now have open tabs for a few posts I meant to go back and read but forgot to which will be some nice long weekend reading. Also raising 7k for NC Dems is incredible and made me feel even more grateful for the Purse community
