If it looks like an MLM and quacks like an MLM… is it an MLM? That's the big dilemma our community member needs help with this week. Her brother is obsessed with a “self-development program” that’s apparently changing his life (and draining his bank account). Now he’s trying to sign up the rest of the family, and it's giving MLM vibes. Then we’re jumping into another all-too-relatable situation: being the financially responsible one in a relationship. You’re saving for a shared goal, they’re spending big elsewhere. How do you get on the same page without turning into the budget police? It's slightly chaotic, surprisingly wise, and just the Friday fix you need.
