Negotiating for a discount can be successful if you ask, as everything in life is negotiable. The only way to ensure rejection is not asking. Many avoid negotiating because they consider it impolite, stemming from a misguided belief that discussing money is impolite and makes one appear greedy or cheap.
#493: Do you ever wonder what happens behind closed doors on Wall Street?
Vivian Tu, also known as Your Rich BFF, is here to spill the tea.
Vivian grew up in a modest immigrant family. After college, she found herself working insane hours on Wall Street after college.
While working on Wall Street, Vivian saw some weird things.
Once, a coworker stumbled hungover into the office after a trip to Atlantic City, carrying a duffel bag with thousands of dollars in cash inside.
Vivian realized that there's a group of high-income and high-net-worth people who handle money in drastically different ways than she learned in her frugal upbringing.
She learned about investing, taxes, legal loopholes. She discovered new ways of thinking about money.
She shares these insights -- gleaned from her Wall Street days -- in today's podcast episode.
