Have you ever struggled with feelings of fear and stress around money?
Growing up in a household where discretionary spending was not an option, our listener felt like a financial burden and was hesitant to spend even the few dollars they were given.
This mentality persisted well into college, where they struggled to contribute their fair share to shared expenses with roommates. But now they're wondering, how do you approach conversations with others about sharing expenses when you've been the one making things awkward?
We explore ways to navigate these delicate conversations and how to help others who may be struggling with similar emotional attachments to money.

What do you do when a family member won't stop pressuring you to buy a house? This episode we're tackling a situation that many of us have probably faced at some point - unsolicited financial advice from family. A listener is trying to decide whether to rent or buy a new home in a new city, but their cousin (who happens to be a real estate agent) is really pushing them towards buying. It's a tough spot to be in, especially when they aren't sure if their cousin has their best interests at heart or if they're just trying to make a sale.
