  • 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

  • Sex and the City Season Five: Society is Sidelining Mums
    Nov 5 2025

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


    This week, we’re diving into Sex and the City, Season 5. Carrie’s career finally takes off as she lands her first book deal. But success comes with its own price tag. We unpack how writing a book really feels, what kind of money’s actually in it, and why publishing seems reserved for people with big platforms. Plus, we dig into why being a writer now also means being a content creator, even when all you want to do is write.


    Meanwhile, Miranda’s adjusting to single motherhood while navigating her relationship with Steve and trying to rediscover who she is outside of being “Mom.” We talk about the emotional load of modern motherhood, how society isolates mums, why Samantha’s anti-kids stance hits a nerve, and the impossible balancing act between career, identity, and care.


    💼 What We Cover:

    • Carrie’s book deal
    • Why writing today means also building an online brand
    • Miranda’s new chapter: single motherhood and self-discovery
    • The “to-boo” of motherhood, why society sidelines mums
    • Samantha’s anti-kid energy and what it says about freedom, identity, and choice

  • Sex and the City Season Four: Does Carrie Bradshaw have ADHD?
    Oct 27 2025

    Welcome to Season 4 of Help Me, I’m Poor, the money podcast that’s more Bitsy von Muffling than Bitcoin 💅


    This week, we’re diving into Sex and the City Season 4, where Carrie and Big attempt the impossible: staying friends after their breakup 👀 From awkward dinners to emotional whiplash, we unpack why “just friends” rarely means just friends and how money, power, and emotion often tangle together in their dynamic.


    Then comes the apartment scandal 🏠💸 when Carrie realises she can’t afford to buy her home and has to face her financial reality head on. It’s one of the show’s most relatable storylines: talking about money with friends, borrowing it, and the shame that can creep in when we’re not as “financially together” as we think we should be.


    We’ll dig into how society moralises being “good with money,” why that’s both unrealistic and unhelpful, and whether Carrie’s spending habits and impulsivity might actually hint at something deeper. Could our girl have a touch of ADHD energy?


    💼 What We Cover:

    • Carrie & Big’s “let’s be friends” era: emotional chaos or growth moment?
    • The apartment crisis: when lifestyle meets financial reality
    • Borrowing from friends, the real emotional cost
    • Why “being good with money” is often a myth
    • The famous “I will literally be the old woman who lived in her shoes” line 👠
    • Could Carrie have ADHD? Let’s talk impulse, shame & distraction
