Welcome to Help Me, I’m Poor, the money podcast that’s more Bitsy von Muffling than Bitcoin 💅
This week, we’re taking a look at It’s a Wonderful Life and everything it reveals about money, morality, and the cost of always trying to do the right thing. We explore what it really costs to be the good guy, why George Bailey keeps sacrificing himself for everyone else, and how that emotional and financial pressure shows up in real life today.
We also talk about the infamous Mr. Potter and how his character mirrors the behaviour of modern corporations that prioritise profit over people. From there, we get into how to make smart financial decisions, including loans and investing, in ways that are not only responsible but also eco conscious.
Finally, we explore the tension between selflessness and selfishness and ask whether constantly putting others first is as noble as it seems, or whether it comes with consequences we do not talk about enough.
💼 What We Cover:
• The financial and emotional cost of being the good guy
• Mr. Potter and how he reflects real world corporate behaviour
• How to approach loans and investing in a smart and sustainable way
• The impact of always being selfless and when it becomes too much
FOLLOW our channel to stay up to date as we blend pop culture, money talk, and honest conversation. 🍸💸
