Economics with Dr. A: The Personal Side of Economics

Hi, I'm Dr. A—and I'm obsessed with making economics make sense

You know that moment when a news headline about inflation or Fed rate changes makes you think, "What does this actually mean for my money?" That's exactly why I started this newsletter.

Economics isn’t as complicated as poeple make it sound. It's the story of how we all navigate money, choices, and opportunity every single day. Whether you're deciding between job offers, wondering why your grocery bill keeps climbing, figuring out if now's the time to buy a house, or trying to understand what the Fed's latest move means for your credit cards and savings, economics is already shaping your financial life.

My mission is simple: cut through the jargon and connect the dots between what's happening in Washington and Wall Street to what's happening in your bank account. I bridge the gap between economic news and personal finance decisions, using stories and real examples because that's how we learn.

Here's what you'll get:

  • Economic news explained in a way that is relatable to you

  • Personal finance strategies backed by economic data

  • Data driven financial trends that affect your wallet

  • The stories behind the numbers that impact your daily life

I have been teaching for over 20 years and have learned that the best way to teach economics is to make it personal. That's how I teach, and that's what I bring to this newsletter. Whether you're just starting your financial journey or you're someone who wants to understand the bigger economic picture behind your money decisions, you belong here.

Your questions make us all smarter, and your perspective adds to the story.
