Welcome to Help Me, I’m Poor, the money podcast that’s more Bitsy von Muffling than Bitcoin 💅
This week, we’re diving into Sex and the City, Season 5. Carrie’s career finally takes off as she lands her first book deal. But success comes with its own price tag. We unpack how writing a book really feels, what kind of money’s actually in it, and why publishing seems reserved for people with big platforms. Plus, we dig into why being a writer now also means being a content creator, even when all you want to do is write.
Meanwhile, Miranda’s adjusting to single motherhood while navigating her relationship with Steve and trying to rediscover who she is outside of being “Mom.” We talk about the emotional load of modern motherhood, how society isolates mums, why Samantha’s anti-kids stance hits a nerve, and the impossible balancing act between career, identity, and care.

Welcome to Season 4 of Help Me, I’m Poor, the money podcast that’s more Bitsy von Muffling than Bitcoin 💅
This week, we’re diving into Sex and the City Season 4, where Carrie and Big attempt the impossible: staying friends after their breakup 👀 From awkward dinners to emotional whiplash, we unpack why “just friends” rarely means just friends and how money, power, and emotion often tangle together in their dynamic.
Then comes the apartment scandal 🏠💸 when Carrie realises she can’t afford to buy her home and has to face her financial reality head on. It’s one of the show’s most relatable storylines: talking about money with friends, borrowing it, and the shame that can creep in when we’re not as “financially together” as we think we should be.
We’ll dig into how society moralises being “good with money,” why that’s both unrealistic and unhelpful, and whether Carrie’s spending habits and impulsivity might actually hint at something deeper. Could our girl have a touch of ADHD energy?

Welcome to Season 2 of Help Me, I’m Poor, the money podcast that’s more Bitsy von Muffling than Bitcoin 💅 This week, we’re heading into Sex and the City Season 3, where Charlotte York marries her first husband, Trey MacDougal 💍
We’re unpacking their complicated love story, from fairytale beginnings to the reality of mismatched expectations.
We’ll also get into the sticky subject of prenups: why they can sometimes be totally necessary… but also emotionally fraught. And as we revisit Charlotte’s lavish Upper East Side wedding, we’re asking: have we reached the end of the big, expensive wedding era? Are modern couples saying “I don’t” to over-the-top spending?
💼 What We Cover:
- Charlotte York & Trey MacDougal: the perfect-on-paper couple that wasn’t
- How Charlotte’s romantic ideals shape her money mindset
- Prenups: protection or pressure?
- Why the “big wedding” bubble might finally be bursting
- Do we agree with celebrities 'monetising' their weddings?!
Join us as we mix pop culture, money talk, and a dash of cosmopolitan realism. 🍸💸
