Ever felt like your job’s covering the bills but slowly crushing your soul, and caught yourself wondering, surely there’s more to life than this? This week, we dive headfirst into the career pivot spiral: is chasing a dream job worth the financial hit, or should you suck it up and stay for the salary? We unpack the real costs (money, mindset, and missed brunches) and how to test-drive a new path without blowing up your budget. Then we dial up the drama with a DM from our community: her sibling’s throwing a fairytale wedding… funded by delusional levels of debt. Do you step in, say nothing, or just top up your champagne and smile through the financial meltdown? And as always, we’ve packed in your money wins (from free burgers to $30 fashion hauls), unhinged broke tips, and a healthy amount of feel-good chaos to carry you into the weekend.

Ready for more laughs, lessons, and unhinged money chats? Check out our oh-so-bingeable Friday Drinks playlist. Listen here.
