it’s time to have the taylor swift conversation

If you're looking to get your money under control (or simply want a budget app that actually doesn't suck), Chelsea personally uses and recommends Monarch. It's *the* absolute best replacement for Mint and makes it super easy to see all of your accounts in one place, set/stick to your goals, and stay on top of your day-to-day spending seamlessly. Use our link to get 50% off your first year with code 'TFD50'! https://monarchmoney.sjv.io/c/3270907/2928275/14860?sharedid=ChelseaLink

We can't avoid this conversation any longer, I fear. Chelsea's thoughts on the fan response to the Taylor Swift engagement news, as well as simping for billionaires more generally.
