Is Casual Culture Bad For Your Bank Account?

Smart Money Happy Hour with Rachel Cruze and George Kamel

Why are wealthy people dressing like they have no money while broke people are trying to dress like they live at the Biltmore? In this episode, George and Rachel break down the latest fashion trends, how they affect your bank account, and why we tend to want what we don’t have.

In this episode:

· Why trendy things will never be worth what you pay for them, like the Stanley tumbler in cosmo pink

· Money advice that will always be in style: Spend wisely and don’t go into debt for anything (especially clothes!)

· George and Rachel reveal their worst fashion moments (Carhartt overalls are mentioned—and not by George)
