Our final episode of Bottom Lines Top Dollars Seas

Our final episode of Bottom Lines Top Dollars Season 2 tells our stories in the form of a guide to change your life after the punk paradigm of "no future" stops working for you, as it did for us.

Using our own experiences as punks who had "oh fuck" moments that motivated us to change our careers pretty drastically as examples, this episode is full of our hard-won wisdom about making big changes in life. From the lofty process of visioning all the way back down to earth-bound planning tools, this episode's goal is an old school DIY workshop for giving yourself a future - especially if you didn't think you were going to get this far.

Listen to An Old Punks Guide to Your Future After No Future on the Bottom Lines Top Dollars podcast!

Over my career I’ve grown parallel paths: one, as a progressive personal finance educator, and another as a human-centered designer. As I’ve gone deeper into both roles, big crossovers in methods like design thinking, frameworks like behavioral economics, and the importance of strategic decision-making stand out to me.⁠
Above is one of my favorite frameworks - and those of you who’ve worked with me have definitely heard about others!⁠
Tell me your fav decision frameworks, or read more in my blog post, “Using Design Thinking on Your Money Problems” see link to blog in link tree⁠

I mean, anyone can have $5 billion dollars, if you:⁠
1) open a ROTH IRA⁠
2) start a startup ⁠
3) put your very cheap startup equity valuation in the ROTH ⁠
4) make your startup wildly successful for multiple decades⁠
⁠
Easy peasy - get to it! Anyone can be rich - right? Right? RIGHT??!!!⁠
⁠
Look - that guy found a loophole and I can’t hate on hacks in capitalism. But those taxes would have funded a LOT of schools and libraries and free vaccines …⁠

“When we met ... I left with new reassurance, clearer plans, a book recommendation, and better stories about money.”⁠
⁠
I’ve been coaching folks for almost six years! One on one, as romantic and business partners, and in small group cohorts. ⁠
⁠
As my practice has grown, my toolkit has gotten bigger - and that’s why I’m into teaching cohorts lately! Pulling everything together into guided learning experiences has felt great for me - and the feedback participants give is awesome, too.⁠

“Taking this “money management” class is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. Do yrself a favor and sign up!!!!” -- M., Live ACK Class, Jan 2016

"I paid off my biggest credit card last week. I still can't believe it. Your class kicked it into high gear for me. The shift was totally in the idea of taking myself more seriously and believing that there will be a future me. Huge shift." -- K., freelance designer

“I learned more than I knew I needed to know about money in Damien’s class and I don’t regret it!” -- RYAN B., bike mechanic

“Just wanted to express gratitude for all your money teachings and tips! My sweetie and I are using it together and it’s helped us talk about money and planning with less shame and guilt.” -- ANONYMOUS, online

“I never wanted to take a course on financial planning because I had always assumed it would be over my head or speak to values that didn’t resonate with me. But this class was designed for people like me! Damien shares my values of social justice, and helped me to figure out fair, ethical ways to relate to money.” -- DARA B, education consultant, dareconsulting.com

“As a chronically ill femme of color artist living the freelance life, money is often a source of fear and uncertainty for me. I took Damien’s class and was blown away by her clarity and sensitivity. How amazing to learn about money with someone who is so anchored in social justice! She created a warm, inclusive environment; was on-point about intersectionality, and shared incredibly useful tools and tips. I never thought that discussing money could be so fun, and I left the class feeling a new sense of hope and possibility.” -- ANONYMOUS, Freelance artist

“I feel more calm about money after this. I’m shocked. I realized that I don’t have to use the same symbols and judgements that everyone else seems to use when they talk about this stuff. That’s really powerful.” - BEVIN B., blogger & lawyer queerfatfemme.com
