This week on Ask Farnoosh, I’m sharing highlights from a financial literacy workshop I hosted at the Bloomfield Library, where I met incredible women navigating major financial crossroads—some filled with uncertainty, others with courage and clarity.
In this episode, I answer:
- What to do when your parents disapprove of your marriage because you earn more than your partner and have taken on a traditionally “masculine” role.
- How to stay financially informed and empowered even if your spouse handles most of the household finances.
- Whether a newly single mom who recently lost her partner should sell her home and move to a more affordable area—and how to approach that big decision with confidence.
Plus: A quick breakdown of the Fed’s latest interest rate decision—what Chair Jerome Powell said, why rates are holding steady, and what it means for your mortgage, savings, and debt.
