SPENT is the first funny money podcast for the financially challenged. Journalist and stand-up comic Lindsay Goldwert talks to people who've survived money disasters as well as empathetic experts who understand your money woes. SPENT will tackle the real questions: Why is it so hard to save money? Why do we buy things we don't need? How does the way we were raised affect how we spend money? And finally, why are we so f****d up about money? You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll get a (financial) life, one episode at a time.
What are the ethical implications of giving money to fund a friend's fertility treatments? I talk to Dr. ElizabethYuko, a bioethicist and writer, about the financial and ethical obligations that come with asking for money online.
