Happy Friday — and thank you for 1,000 subscribers!
First and foremost, I wanted to thank all of you for subscribing and reading my twice-weekly economics musings. When I started this blog just three short weeks ago (which feels more like a year in pandemic time) I was not expecting such an overwhelming response, and certainly not as much rapid growth on the road from 0 to 1,000 subscribers.
Economics has always been more of a passion than a career choice for me, and I am so thankful that I get to share the knowledge I have with each and every one of you. In a world full of complexity, my main goal is to simplify dense terminology and rigorous theory into something the non-economist can easily digest and use in order to build their own models of the world. I hope you all can walk away with a better sense of what the field of economics is really about, and find ways to apply the dismal science to your own every day lives.
I appreciate all of the support and feedback you have given me thus far — and if you have any ideas or suggestions for what you’d like to see in the future, please feel free to comment below!
I have what will hopefully be my last two midterms (ever) on Monday, so today’s Finance Friday and next week’s Macro Monday may be delayed as I prepare for exams, but I have a very special 1,000 subscriber special coming for you all in the next few weeks, as well as a bunch of fun projects I cannot wait to share with you all!
I plan on posting a Substack next week that is short and to the point, and focuses on the Fed’s quarterly outlook, as well as some financial implications this has. I’d like for economists and every day readers alike to be able to walk away with an overview of what the Fed’s projections were (for those who didn’t have time to catch up on the news) as well as what this might mean for the nearer future.
Thank you all so much again for the love and support. I can’t wait to see what the future holds — this is only the beginning.
Good luck with the midterms! Currently, studying for my own and not looking forward to them, but at the finish line as well so just continuing to push. I'm an accountant trying to learn more about macro-economics so looking forward to your fed outlook explanations cause I always feel lost trying to read into that stuff/struggle to understand the implications without someone to help explain things, so thank you as well.
Thank you too
