About this episode

The episode discusses the realities of adult financial responsibilities and childhood money experiences.

Adult money sounded A LOT cooler when we were kids? Turns out it mostly goes to insurance, impulsive makeup purchases, Pokémon cards, and lots of emotional damage. In this episode, we unpack our first paychecks, childhood money trauma, and the deeply Malaysian experience of saying “I’m just looking only” before spending on Japanese knives we don’t need. Watch the full episode to see how we used our adult money to heal our inner child.If you love the furniture on our new set, you can shop on ruma: You can find their outlets across Malaysia, including Petaling Jaya, Johor Bahru, Nilai, Penang, Shah Alam, and Kuantan. https://www.ruma-home.com/
