A few months ago, I published a blog post on moneywithcady.com entitled Is Getting Rich

Feminist.

As an inhabitant of the center of the Venn diagram between content for women and content

about money, it represented my grappling with a branding direction that I see a lot.

The idea that it's radical, progressive, and fights the patriarchy for a woman to accumulate

a lot of personal wealth, but where I landed in that exploration is that this accounting

of the world and women's rights is ultimately a little too convenient and will link the

post in the show notes if you are interested in reading it.

One corollary to the arguments presented though sent me poking another bedazzled bear.

When a culture believes that accumulating wealth is intrinsically empowering, then that

means anything one has to do to get that money is automatically grandfathered in and

by the transit of property empowering as well.

So I was in the midst of that personal exploration and reflection when I received an email from

a listener about what she called the sugar baby mentality or living your life located

somewhere on the conscious versus unconscious and explicitly transactional versus implicitly

transactional spectrums as though you're waiting to be saved by what she dubbed an already

successful person.

Can you guess where this episode is going?

Welcome back to the money with Katie show rich sugar girls and boys.

I'm your host Katie daddy toss and and in perhaps the most not safe for work episode

we have ever done today we'll be talking about the resurgence of sugar dating culture

and its recent unofficial rebrand as a girl bossy way to cash in.
