Minimizing Exploitation and Supporting Small Businesses

Rich Girl Allyson T. asks, "What effect does shopping small businesses have on our wallets? What about the small business owner’s wallet? And how does that compare to us buying the same thing at Walmart or on Amazon?" Katie and Henah chat through the landscape of small businesses today, what the "gray area" is when it comes to corporations, and how we can make the most impact with our dollars.

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.
