S1E6 | Money: Beyond Scarcity Mindset

Would you drink a $6 chai with cow’s milk and deal with the consequences of lactose intolerance, or spend another $6 for another drink?

Seems like a simple decision… but not when our bodies carry our refugee parents’ survival money mindset.

In today’s episode, Vi-An and Amanda unpack our money mindset and financial literacy journey. As personal finance late bloomers, we aim to normalise talking about finances and money mindset with trusted people so that we can all learn and grow our wealth together.

We spill tea on:

• The emotional weight behind small money decisions
• Internalising money messages from our migrant parents
• Capitalism, wealth hoarding, and why talking about money actually matters in our community

We learned the hard way that money isn’t just budgeting apps and spreadsheets. (Trust me, we've tried).

There's so much more about safety and emotions like fear and worthiness, and of course - it's deeply tied to culture.

So if these are things you've been reckoning with yourself, brew yourself a cup and sip along as we spill the jasmine tea and share our work-in-progress attitudes towards money!
