We all know how confusing finance and economics can sound. Sometimes, it feels like experts are just tossing around big words. That’s why we’re starting “Stupid Questions”: a safe space to ask the simplest questions you have—no matter how basic they might seem.

If you’ve ever wondered what a very commonly-used word really means, or why something matters, share your questions here. We’ll do our best to explain everything in a way that actually makes sense.

Remember: There are no stupid questions - only honest ones!
