Über diesen Titel

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.


New episodes every Monday. 🎬💰

  • Sex and the City Season Three: Charlotte's Prenup & Celebrities Monetising their Weddings?!
    Oct 19 2025

    Welcome to Season 2 of Help Me, I’m Poor, the money podcast that’s more Bitsy von Muffling than Bitcoin 💅 This week, we’re heading into Sex and the City Season 3, where Charlotte York marries her first husband, Trey MacDougal 💍


    We’re unpacking their complicated love story, from fairytale beginnings to the reality of mismatched expectations.


    We’ll also get into the sticky subject of prenups: why they can sometimes be totally necessary… but also emotionally fraught. And as we revisit Charlotte’s lavish Upper East Side wedding, we’re asking: have we reached the end of the big, expensive wedding era? Are modern couples saying “I don’t” to over-the-top spending?


    💼 What We Cover:

    - Charlotte York & Trey MacDougal: the perfect-on-paper couple that wasn’t

    - How Charlotte’s romantic ideals shape her money mindset

    - Prenups: protection or pressure?

    - Why the “big wedding” bubble might finally be bursting

    - Do we agree with celebrities 'monetising' their weddings?!


    Join us as we mix pop culture, money talk, and a dash of cosmopolitan realism. 🍸💸

    Oct 13 2025

    This week, we’re diving into Sex and the City Season 2, where Miranda buys her first apartment and we ask: is it realistic for women to buy on their own? We also talk about the “single tax”, why being independent can make hitting big milestones feel harder. Plus, we unpick Miranda and Steve’s relationship and why it’s misunderstood, and explore the gender stereotypes women face while dating.


    💼 What We Cover:

    • Miranda Hobbes buying her first apartment: realistic or fantasy?
    • The tax of being single: why milestones feel harder to achieve alone
    • Why Miranda and Steve’s relationship isn’t as bad as the media makes out
    • The gender stereotypes women face while dating

  • Sex and the City Season One: The economics of Carrie Bradshaw, money on screen and looking for a man in finance.
    Oct 5 2025

    Welcome to season 2 of Help Me, I'm Poor, the money podcast that's more Bitsy von Muffling than Bitcoin and hustling.


    For season two, we're taking a deep dive into the fictional finances of Sex and the City, from the men they date to the money they make.


    In this episode, we look at the economics of the SATC universe as a whole - is Carrie's lifestyle really that unrealistic? How much do we think Miranda earned? And how much did Charlotte rely on the bank of mum and dad?
