Thank you for listening.

We here at Planet Money are firm believers in the saying, there's no such thing as a dumb question.

Because even the most simple questions can lead to incredibly intricate answers that reveal how the economy works.

So we get especially excited when y'all come to us with questions that you feel like you should already know the answers to.

Like the other day, we got a question from a listener named Valerie Brekke, who at first didn't even want us mentioning her name.

That is not true at all.
