Ep 101 Economics of COVID-19- Episode 2 with Sarah Catherine Gutierrez

Mar 21, 2020

Hey everyone, we’re back with another episode to try to understand what’s going on with American economics and how it relates to you on a personal level, especially as physicians. In case you missed it, 3 days ago, SC and I put out an episode that discussed, amongst other things, rebalancing your investment portfolio and the rate cut by the federal bank. So, go back and check that out if you missed it. Anyhow, SC has graciously returned to discuss changes in the financial landscape over the past 3 days.

Before we get into the program, let’s go over some housekeeping items.

My guest today, Sarah Catherine Gutierrez, aka SC, is a speaker, writer and owner of a financial planning company, called Aptus Financial. She is passionate about demystifying the financial world to women so that they can focus on the most important thing we need to do: save money for our future selves. SC also runs a blog for women and finance called, "LadySplainingMoney." SC was a featured speaker at the recent WCI conference. She lives a beautifully simple life under quarantine in Little Rock, Arkansas.
