Part of what I love about my job leading The Get newsletter is combatting fear. And this issue allowed me to look into things I worry about on a daily basis, which is amplified when I get a scam text addressing me by name: how much does the internet know about me? Death is another one, and what will happen to all that online info after I pass. Add on predicting mortgage rates and real-life advice about balancing finances when your income dips. I hope you find that you're able to breathe after reading this issue—that's the intent.
