Dollar Scholar
Hi y’all —

Put on a party hat and pop some Champagne, because this is the 100TH ISSUE of Dollar Scholar! (The crowd goes wild.)

Since this newsletter launched in July 2019, our community of 160,000+ Scholars has learned countless money lessons. In the past year alone, we’ve talked about inflation, student loans and post-pandemic spending guilt. We determined the optimal way to divide every paycheck, why it’s so annoying to reset your PIN, and how often is too often to check your bank balance. And, of course, we endured some truly... pawful… 401(k)9 puns.

But I’m curious: How closely have you been paying attention to Dollar Scholar? Let’s find out with a 100th issue POP QUIZ!

Click here or below to test your Scholar skills. (Don't worry, you won't have to put in any personal info to participate.) The quiz should take less than five minutes to complete. At the end, you'll receive a grade — and, depending on your score, an ~exclusive~ Dollar Scholar-themed prize that I made myself.
TAKE THE QUIZAAAK
Once you finish, be sure to email me at julia.glum@money.com and tell me how you did. Or brag about it on social media and tag me using @SuperJulia. Or both!

In all seriousness, your support means the world to me. Dollar Scholar is a labor of love, so thank you for subscribing, reading and sending me hollas. If you’ve got a friend or relative you think would enjoy the newsletter, direct them to money.com/dollarscholar to sign up.

Cheers to the next 100!
Julia
P.S. You can take the quiz as many times as you want, so if you're unhappy with your grade — or want to experience all three AMAZING prizes — simply reload the page. Good luck!
