Cassidy Horton

Welcome to The Finance Girlies, a podcast for millennial and Gen Z women who are curious about money but have never quite felt at home in traditional finance spaces.

We are Emily Backdorf and Cassidy Horton, podcast hosts, longtime friends, and finance writers for brands like AOL and Yahoo Finance.

Rather than giving you prescriptive advice, we talk about money the way friends actually do, with stories, questions, and a lot of figuring it out in real time.

So the first piece of advice that sounds good but could actually make your life worse is the advice to delay every fun thing until retirement.

Emily walks through how she decided on the type of loan, how she knew she was ready, what she did to prepare, all of that stuff.

It's a very good episode.

But me, Cassidy, I don't check all three of those boxes.

I don't feel emotionally ready to buy a home yet.
