💸 Should you ever date for money? What’s the most ridiculous purchase we’ve made (and don’t regret)? And what’s the single money habit that sets the wealthy apart?

Money rules everything, yet no one talks about it. In this unfiltered Ask Us Anything episode of Tiger Sisters, we get real about money — answering your top questions on love, power, investing, and what true financial freedom actually looks like.

We share:

✅ The truth about dating or marrying for money (and the strings attached)

✅ Why every woman needs her own money + autonomy

✅ Our most “ridiculous” purchases (and why experiences are everything)

✅ The wealth habit billionaires swear by (compounding + playing offense)

✅ How to lend money to friends & family without losing the relationship

✅ The #1 money mistake in your 20s & 30s — and how to avoid it
