Katie Gatti Tassin, personal finance blogger and podcast host, has built an energized following by diving deep into the broader social issues that impact women’s everyday financial experiences and sharing practical solutions to tackle them.

So, here's the deal. I got locked up for a crime I totally committed. Yup. Your girl stabbed a ho...or four. Stabbed, maimed, ate, slaughtered. You get the picture.

AKA the man who tried to kill me as a baby. Fun times, right? With a few simple words, everything changes. I no longer know who I can trust or who will simply stab me in the back the second I turn away.
