Summary

Are your wealthiest friends the ones most likely to refuse to acknowledge the wealth disparity? Perhaps they are the stingiest with their money? In this episode, we delve into the topic of nepotism and privilege and their impact on college life, focusing on the experiences of students from less privileged backgrounds. We discuss how to deal with the sense of entitlement and disregard for the financial struggles of their peers that wealthier friends may exhibit, and also offer suggestions on how to talk about money as a college student."
