Summary

One reader asks when is going to "off-brand" providers worth it (i.e., switching to Mint Mobile from a legacy provider, as Katie has). Katie and Henah chat through what to look for instead, what's worth keeping "on brand" for, and their own real life examples (Louis Vuitton vs. Coach, All Clad vs. DTC cookware brands, etc.). Welcome back to #RichGirlRoundup, Money with Katie's weekly segment where Katie and MWK's Executive Producer Henah answer your burning money questions. Each month, we'll put out a call for questions on her Instagram (@moneywithkatie). New episodes every week. - Read Money with Katie: https://moneywithkatie.com/ Follow Money with Katie!

0:55.9	We also talk about nephobabies, meritocracy, and why a certain billionaire seems so
