What is money dysmorphia and how does it affect financial perception?
What is your bank doing for you? And how much is it costing you? That's a serious question, because if they're charging you $8 a month with zero extra services, I've got to stage an intervention here. What are you paying them for anyway to hold your money for you? You deserve better. That's what I love about Chime. There are no monthly fees, no maintenance fees. My younger self would have definitely benefited from this. It's not just the no fees thing. It's what they have to offer you, too. If you set up direct deposit, you can get paid up to two days early automatically. And with qualifying direct deposits, you're eligible for free overdraft up to $200 on debit card purchases and cash withdrawals. Plus, they have over 47,000 fee-free ATMs.
So seriously, ask yourself, what is your bank doing for you and just how much are they charging you to do it? And if the math isn't mapping, think about making a change. Work on your financial goals through Chime today. Open an account in just two minutes at Chime.com slash MNN.
Chime feels like progress. Chime is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services and debit card provided by the Bancorp Bank N.A. or Stride Bank N.A. Members FDIC. Spot me eligibility requirements and overdraft limits apply. Timing depends on submission of payment file. Fees apply at out-of-network ATMs. Bank ranking and number of ATMs according to U.S. News and World Report 2023. Chime checking account required.
One of the smartest financial moves you can make is working with a certified financial planner instead of trying to wing it solo. Domain money CFP professionals don't just hand out generic financial advice.
How has social media contributed to feelings of financial inadequacy?
They help people get on track for early retirement, fix messy investment allocations, and figure out the perfect timing for major purchases like buying a house or gosh, I don't know, growing a family, asking for a friend. Yes, I am that friend. In fact, my husband and I actually just talked to Adriana Adams, head of financial planning at Domain on the podcast. And she had this advice around what to do to set our daughter up for financial success.
So there's three things that I would prioritize. The first one is saving for your own future because the best gift you can give her is to not be a burden later in life. And the second thing is life insurance, which I know sounds morbid and is not fun. I'm a huge fan of cheap term life insurance. Really, we just want to replace your income in case something happens to you guys so that she is taken care of. And the third thing is estate planning. And believe it or not, everybody has an estate plan. It just depends on if you created it or the government created it for you.
So as you can probably tell from that, Domain gives you something most people never have, a step-by-step financial plan that actually makes sense and does not make your brain hurt.

Measuring financial success against someone else's benchmark is not a new phenomenon. We humans have been doing that forever. Just for example, the phrase keeping up with the Joneses has actually been around since the early 1900s.
But even though it's not new, it certainly has gotten worse because of social media. Last year, Intuit put out a study that found one in two Americans feel less prosperous compared to others. And an even larger group says that social media specifically makes them feel like they're falling behind with their financial goals. I think to some extent we are all feeling this, but it seems to be hitting Gen Z particularly hard, especially when it comes to debt. 64% of Gen Zers say they'd rather talk to their family about their dating life than their debt.
