Global pandemic or not, your time is valuable—and I think it’s safe to say we’re all being a bit more cautious about the number of errands we’re running and the people we’re seeing right now. Who knows how long we’ll continue to think twice about errands that used to be just a regular Saturday, you know?

Hi, I’m Desirae!

I’m the brain who thought writing about money on the internet was a totally normal and cool thing to do once upon a time. If you’re moneyed out for now, but want to keep in touch, I’m on Instagram and Twitter. If you want to take this party to your inbox, you can sign up to track your spending, figure out your budget, or learn how to start investing (as a total beginner). And if you just want a clear place to start? I’ve got you.

Five years ago, I started Half Banked with a clear Five years ago, I started Half Banked with a clear vision of making personal finance more approachable to more people. Along the way, I learned a lot about how to make finances work with your life, and adapted my own views on the “personal finance rules” over time. That’s why I’m so happy to announce there’s an exciting shift coming to help you with your finances over the next five years. As of today, Half Banked is officially part of Wise Publishing, the team that runs MoneyWise.com and MoneyWise.ca. I’m beyond convinced that they’re the right people to carry on that work, and that’s why I’m so excited to be putting Half Banked in their capable hands.

Insurance can sometimes feel like it falls into that category, because there are a lot of types, and a lot of nuance—but understanding whether you need life insurance is actually pretty simple.⠀ ⠀ I teamed up with @policymehq to cover the four key questions you need to answer on the blog this week, and as a preview, the first one is "Are you currently single?"⠀ ⠀ Yes, seriously. You definitely know the answers to these questions 😂#ad
