65. Giving you gifts, shared bank accounts, and loser husbands
What should you get your best friend for their birthday? According to Jon: Nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada. In today’s episode, we’re talking MONEY, HONEY and the expectations surrounding gift giving. Jon gets pretty heated in this one, so you may want to lower the volume on your speakers. If you take one thing from this episode, it’s this: Do not buy Jon gifts. Ever. Alex will gladly accept though! 0:00 - Intro28:32 - How Do I Make More Money?31:21 - I’m Buying a House, Not Your Friendship33:46 - Do I Need to Bring a Birthday Gift?40:28 - My Groomsman Ditched My Wedding 43:28 - My Mom Runs My Finances 47:26 - My Presence Is The Wedding Present58: 23 - My Husband Has Major Debt01:01:33 - I Want Access to My Husband’s Bank Account Cozy Earth: Head to cozyearth.com and use my code STRAIGHT for 40% off!

“You know you’re adopted, right? I’m telling mom!” In this week’s episode, Alex and Jon discuss sibling relationships and how you can be best friends as kids and enemies as adults. Your “built-in best friend” doesn’t sound so great when they’re stealing your inheritance or picking the same baby names as you.
