Hi everyone —
Perhaps you’ve heard: We have an anniversary coming up.
Since we’re always trying to be practical here in the Money department, we are asking ourselves this: What suboptimal things in our financial lives are so distinctly … well, just, American?
Many of you have visited other countries. Some of you live outside of the U.S., perhaps permanently. What just works better elsewhere when it comes to running your day-to-day financial life? Where is there less paperwork, or paper? What requires two steps instead of 22? Are there things that are more fair or leave you less vulnerable to crooks and trap doors?
You may have a long list. We’d like to see it, but please try, if you can, to restrain yourself from sounding off on public policy. Medicare-for-all has a lot that is appealing, but we’re going to focus here on things that could actually change by the time we do America, 255.
As always, you can reach us at yourmoney_newsletter@nytimes.com.
Below, you’ll find a selection of our recent money stories. Have a good week.
How are we doing?
We’d love your feedback on this newsletter. Please email thoughts and suggestions to yourmoney_newsletter@nytimes.com.
