Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin

Originally aired 1.23.23Jim McKelvey and Jack Dorsey created the payment tool Square to fix a problem small businesses had with credit card transactions.

Money talk entering the mainstream is a great thing, but the world of "finfluencing" has a dark side. Money content on social media operates like the Wild West— with far fewer rules than on Wall Street. Today, Nicole sits down with financial educator Vivian Tu to talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of finfluencer-land. They talk about the “financial advice” that keeps them up at night, how to confirm if a financial educator is legit, and they play a game of financial "never have I ever" that you should totally try at home.  Preorder Vivian's debut book Rich AF here!

Today, Nicole answers the question: what does it mean for us, as investors, when one person has so much influence over the global economy? Plus, she gives her hot take on Elon’s message to the advertising world to, "go f—k yourself."

Today Nicole gives you the playbook for major savings when it comes to health insurance and medical bills. Plus, she decodes some of the common alphabet soup in health insurance (HSAs, FSAs, WTF?).
