Networth and Chill with Your Rich BFF

In this episode of Networth and Chill, we’ve got a solo Vivian yap session - sort of! This episode was supposed to be Vivian talking about friendships, but instead you’ll hear from both Vivian and her childhood best friend, Carol! We're talking about the worst kinds of financial friends—the ones who can wreak havoc on your wallet and your financial well-being. From the friend who’s always borrowing money but never pays it back, to the one who pressures you into spending way beyond your means, these relationships can be more costly than you realize. We’ll break down the different types of financial frenemies, how to spot them, and most importantly, how to set boundaries to protect your financial health.

My fav, Marshalls, is sponsoring today’s episode reminding us where we can get the good stuff for less (advertisement by Marshalls). On this week's episode of Networth and Chill, I'm joined by social media fitness entrepreneur and the mastermind behind Blogilates, Cassey Ho. As we enter into 2024 we also enter into New Years Resolution Season. A majority of people list a health and fitness goal as their resolution, but with an overwhelming amount of information, and the high cost of many fitness institutions, it can be hard to know where to start. Cassey gives some great insight on how to finance your fitness goals, and breaks down what is and is not worth the money. We talk about her career, her start as a fitness instructor on YouTube, and her activewear line. And I put Cassey on the spot to see which fitness trends are overhyped/overpriced, and which are worth the praise they get.  Got a financial question you want answered on a future episode?
