À propos de ce contenu audio

The money podcast that’s more Chandler Bing than Chip & Pin. Each week, we dive into how money shows up in our favourite films and TV shows—whether it’s the ridiculous wealth of Gossip Girl, the financial chaos of Bridget Jones, or the unrealistic rent situations in Friends.


Money is everywhere in pop culture, shaping our ideas about spending, saving, and success, often without us even realizing it. But talking about money can feel awkward, boring, or just overwhelming—so we’re making it easier (and way more fun).


Join us as we explore the economics of your favourite characters, the financial red flags we should have seen coming, and the big money lessons hidden in the most iconic moments of film and TV.

    • Sex and the City The Movie: Our HONEST thoughts!
      Dec 2 2025

      Welcome to Help Me, I’m Poor, the money podcast that’s more Bitsy von Muffling than Bitcoin 💅


      This week, we’re talking all things Sex and the City The Movie and asking the real question: should it have been made and was it actually any good? We look at the highs, the lows, and the parts that have not aged well.


      We unpack the on and off relationship of Carrie and Big and why we think he left her on their wedding day. We also get into why Charlotte becomes the joke of the movie and why that feels unfair considering her character arc over the entire series.


      We look at how each of the women’s storylines evolve and how the film treats engagement and romance in a way that feels surprisingly subtle compared to today’s social media performance culture. And yes, we talk about the fatphobia throughout the movie because it is impossible to ignore.


      💼 What We Cover:

      • Should SATC The Movie exist

      • Carrie and Big and why he walked away

      • Why Charlotte becomes the punchline

      • How each woman’s storyline shifts in the film

      • Why quiet engagements feel refreshing compared to modern performative culture

      • The fatphobia in the movie and how it shapes the narrative

    • Sex and the City Season Six: Can women be the breadwinners?!
      Nov 26 2025

      Welcome to Help Me, I’m Poor, the money podcast that’s more Bitsy von Muffling than Bitcoin 💅

      This week, we’re delving into Sex and the City, Season 6, the season that arguably should have been the finale. Carrie’s life is in full transition mode: new boyfriend, new city, new chaos. We unpack the financial and emotional cost of reinvention, why her move to Paris feels like the end of an era, and the complicated dynamic of dating a man who cannot handle not being the breadwinner.


      We also break down “A Woman’s Right to Shoes”, one of SATC’s most iconic (and divisive) episodes. We get into the unspoken politics of motherhood vs. being child free, how both groups can be equally judgemental, and why women still feel the need to justify their choices and their spending.


      💼 What We Cover:

      • Why Season 6 should have been the real finale

      • Carrie’s move to Paris: reinvention, escapism, and the cost of running away

      • Dating dynamics when he is not the breadwinner (hi, Petrovsky 👀)

      • “A Woman’s Right to Shoes” and the economics of lifestyle judgement

      • Mothers vs. child free women: why both sides feel defensive, judged, and misunderstood

      • The price of choice, identity, and modern womanhood


      FOLLOW to stay up to date as we blend pop culture, money talk, and a splash of cosmopolitan honesty. 🍸💸

      Welcome to Help Me, I’m Poor, the money podcast that’s more Bitsy von Muffling than Bitcoin 💅


      This week, we’re joined by special guest Sarah from eToro to unpack Carrie’s unexpected journey into the stock market and how one impulsive investment leads all the girls to rethink their relationship with money. From shoes to shares, we explore how investing becomes the new Manolo moment and what it really means to take control of your financial future.


      We also fast-forward to 2025 and ask the ultimate question: what would the SATC girls invest in now? Would Charlotte be all about blue-chip stability? Would Samantha be deep in bitcoin? Sarah gives us smart, practical advice on how to start investing wisely.


      💼 What We Cover:

      • Carrie’s first steps into investing
      • How she influences the girls to follow her lead
      • What SATC investing would look like today
