  • 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. 🍸💸

    • Miranda Hobbes buying her first apartment: realistic or fantasy?
