Afford Anything - A podcast by Paula Pant | Cumulus Podcast Network

Welcome back to PSA Thursday, a segment in which we talk about how to handle money, work, and life in the middle of a pandemic.

Today, our focus is on money - specifically, the stock market.

Why did it crash in March? What effect did that have on us as a society? Why has it rebounded in the middle of a shutdown, and what does that mean? Are valuations too high relative to earnings?

How can we handle our investments and retirement savings at a time when the movements of the market seem irrational and unpredictable?

We explore these questions in today's episode.
