The cost of being cool: do old wounds die hard?

Description

In this voice-note style ramble, I unpack how the elusive idea of being "cool" can impact the way we spend our money, particularly if we've got old wounds from not being one of the cool kids in high school. From expensive hobbies to dressing for who you wished you were, there's still something so idealised about being "cool" even as an adult, and as years rattle by and we we ride the ups and downs of life, can "coolness" catch us out at any age?
