Welcome to Show Me The Money, the podcast that’s more freshers week than financial ombudsman 🍻💸
This week we head back to uni with Fresh Meat, the chaotic comedy that doubles as a brutally honest look at student life and money. From overdrafts and student loans to dodgy landlords and wildly different financial backgrounds, we explore how uni shapes your relationship with money for life.
We break down the housemates’ financial journeys, from privilege to survival mode, and how those early experiences can shape your financial future for decades. We also look at today’s student loan reality, rising costs, repayment changes, and why so many people are questioning whether it was ever properly explained.
Along the way we talk overdrafts, budgeting disasters, and why getting a lump sum at 18 might be one of the worst financial systems going.
💼 What We Cover:
• The real cost of university life
• Student loans and why they feel like a “hidden tax”
• Overdrafts and early debt traps
• Privilege vs struggle in student finances
• Student renting and terrible housing realities
• Why uni shapes long term money habits
• What’s changed in the student loan system
• Why financial education often comes too late
