Are you spending money on things because they actually make you happy, like a hobby you’re passionate about? Or are you spending money on things just to try to “keep up” with your friends or people you follow online? Your answer could have a big impact on your financial well-being.

Aleksandra Medina, co-founder of the social finance app Frich, rejoins the podcast to dive deeper into the financial challenges and questions that are top of mind for Gen Z. Together with hosts Bright Dickson, positive psychology expert, and Brian Ford, head of financial wellness at Truist, they discuss ways to turn insights around these questions into action.

The discussion covers:

• Why we should be having more honest conversations about money—and how Frich is helping Gen Z talk more openly about their finances

• Money questions that Gen Zers are asking via the Frich app, from etiquette around splitting the cost of dinner to wedding and engagement expectations

• Personal finance tips to help listeners of any age put insights and answers into action

“Part of being financially confident is knowing there are certain things that need to happen with your income every month—rent, savings, etc. But with the rest, you should feel confident in your ability to spend your money in a way that brings you the most amount of joy.”

—Aleksandra Medina, Co-founder, Frich
