Your Favorite Newsletters From 2024

The top 10 you loved the most.

Welcome to Cheaper Than Therapy, a newsletter for 80s babies by Shani Silver.

Happy Holidays, Substack community! This newsletter was designed to be a place to explore the undiscussed, and recognize the uncelebrated. I wanted an outlet where I could remind people of our generation that we’re not “over,” yet, that we still matter, and that our unique perspective as 80s babies (or thereabouts), can’t be wiped clean off the internet just because a new generation enters the workforce. I want to write about things 23-year-olds don’t understand and you know what…I think I have.

Many of you experienced this as well: 2024 was a real mixed bag. I wouldn’t call it a “good” year, I wouldn’t call it a “bad” year. Staring down the barrel of 2025…I’m slightly shitting my pants. In an effort to celebrate the good and avoid catastrophizing about what comes next, I thought I’d share my best work from the past year, based on how much you loved it. As always, your support as Substack subscribers is everything to me, it means I can keep doing what lights me up, and I genuinely look forward to how we break narratives apart and build our self worth in the year ahead.

So below, in ascending order of popularity, the ten best things I wrote this year, according to you:
