Welcome to Help Me, I’m Poor, the money podcast that’s more Bitsy von Muffling than Bitcoin 💅This week, we’re delving into Sex and the City, Season 6, the season that arguably should have been the finale. Carrie’s life is in full transition mode: new boyfriend, new city, new chaos. We unpack the financial and emotional cost of reinvention, why her move to Paris feels like the end of an era, and the complicated dynamic of dating a man who cannot handle not being the breadwinner.We also break down “A Woman’s Right to Shoes”, one of SATC’s most iconic (and divisive) episodes. We get into the unspoken politics of motherhood vs. being child free, how both groups can be equally judgemental, and why women still feel the need to justify their choices and their spending.💼 What We Cover: • Why Season 6 should have been the real finale • Carrie’s move to Paris: reinvention, escapism, and the cost of running away • Dating dynamics when he is not the breadwinner (hi, Petrovsky 👀) • “A Woman’s Right to Shoes” and the economics of lifestyle judgement • Mothers vs. child free women: why both sides feel defensive, judged, and misunderstood • The price of choice, identity, and modern womanhoodFOLLOW to stay up to date as we blend pop culture, money talk, and a splash of cosmopolitan honesty. 🍸💸If you loved this episode, stay in the loop: 📖 Substack: https://helpmeimpoorpodcast.substack.... 📸 Instagram: www.instagram.com/helpmeimpoorcast/ 🎵 TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@helpmeimpoorcastAnd just a quick heads up: all content on HMIP is for information and education purposes only.
