Summary

In this episode, we kick things off with the hidden cost of friendship — turns out, staying social could be costing you over $250 a month in brunches, happy hours, and birthday dinners. Then we get into dating finances, where new data shows men are spending $15,000 more per year in relationships, largely driven by lingering provider expectations. How much is your man spending on you? 

Dex brings us a shocking story out of Brooklyn: a man lost his fully paid-off $800K home over a $5K water bill. She also shares a personal horror story about the hidden traps and predatory fines cities can hit you with as a property owner.

Carla wraps things up with the story of Khloé Kardashian stepping in as primary caregiver for Tristan Thompson's younger brother, Amari. While Carla sees it as a generous act of love, Dex questions whether it's just another chapter in Khloé's inability to let go of Tristan.

Whether you're here for the facts, the feels, or the side-eye — we've got you covered.
