Noel and Brandon talk about money, friendship, and why splitting the check can somehow reveal everything you need to know about a person. They get into income differences between friends, choosing plans everybody can actually afford, lending money without turning into a debt collector, keeping up appearances, and the pressure to spend just to stay included. Plus, why money gets so awkward when nobody wants to talk about it, when it’s better to be upfront about what you can afford, and the simple rule that you should never lend a friend money you can’t afford to lose.
