On this week's episode of Networth and Chill, I'm joined by the host of We Met At ACME, Lindsey Metselaar. Dating is complicated enough, but when you throw money into the mix it can quickly turn into a nightmare! But being open and honest about money and finances are crucial when building a healthy relationship. I ask Lindsey about her own opinions on money and dating, who pays for what and when, how do you approach a big difference in earnings, and just how do you talk about money in general when entering into a relationship? Lindsey talks about her own dating experience, and what she learned leading up to finding her match. And what about after you find "the one"? Lindsey and I chat moving in together, prenups, and so much more. Got a financial question you want answered on a future episode? Text me or leave me a voicemail at 908-858-3410.

On this week's episode of Networth and Chill, we are diving into the world of Greek Life! With Fall semesters beginning, and Sorority Rush Season in full swing in some places, I want to talk about the cost of Greek Life, and take a look at what that money can buy. How much does it actually cost to Rush? And once you are accepted, what should you expect to pay to stay in the sisterhood? The cost of Greek Life has always come with scrutiny, with many saying the lofty dues are just a way to "pay to make friends". However, I have seen first hand that there are plenty of financial and social benefits to joining Greek Life, and the cost you pay can open doors you might not otherwise have access to.
