Show Notes
Michelle Singletary is an author and award-winning personal finance columnist. She writes the nationally syndicated personal finance column “The Color of Money”, which appears in The Washington Post. She is a frequent contributor to various radio programs and has appeared on national talk shows and television networks.
She addresses the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:
- That the joy of this pandemic could be a lasting effect on people reaching out and helping their neighbors; that people tend to rise to the occasion in emergencies and realize that we are all in this together.
- That on a financial level, the pandemic has revealed the minimal possessions we really need and that human contact is what we’re craving.
- That we need to resist the urge to narrow down to single sources of news and instead keep our minds open to other points of view.
- That none of us are successful if our neighbors remain in poverty.
- That there are ongoing impacts of intergenerational trauma for Black Americans, in addition to microaggressions, redlining, discrimination in hiring, and more.
- That you need to align your finances and resources to what you truly value.
