The cost of being cool: do old wounds die hard?

from The Broke Generation · host Emma Edwards

In this voice-note style ramble, I unpack how the elusive idea of being "cool" can impact the way we spend our money, particularly if we've got old wounds from not being one of the cool kids in high school.
