Bad With Money With Gaby Dunn

Barbara Sloan, author of "Tipped: The life changing guide to financial freedom for waitresses, bartenders, strippers, and all other service industry professionals," joins Gaby to talk about a topic we've wanted to cover for a while: tipping and working for tips. In the US, 3 million people work mainly for tips and yet financial advice never takes them into account or gives them practical steps to financial stability. We talk about the minimum and subminimum wage, what patrons can do to be better customers to tipped workers, and how people who work for tips can better save, budget, and control their money.  Gaby Dunn Instagram: @GabyRoad BWM Instagram: @bwmpod BWM Facebook group: http://tinyurl.com/badwithmoneyfb The BWM Discord channel: https://discord.gg/dAdxj4JMER Find Gaby on Patreon: patreon.com/gabydunn Shop gabydunn.com/shop for merch!

Gaby steals from women... just like Don Draper. Lily updates us on her workplace accommodations situation re: ADHD and capitalism. Mal corrects their history of school accommodations based on new information from their mother. A transfemme listener named Claire writes about paying for gender affirming surgeries, adding authorized users to bank accounts and credit cards, and also accuses Mal of being a Boomer in a Millennial's body. Gaby's going to change their name with the same format Taylor Swift used to roll out the track titles for Midnights. Cooper, who is paying for aptitude tests, is back to talk salmon, Playstation 5, and the military. Finley explains blood donation in Canada. Charlie leaves a great voicemail about healthcare that leads to some really great advice. And finally, red rum.

This week, Gaby has the honor of speaking to Stephanie Dworak about the costs of her abortion and the emotional and financial stress of going out of state for the procedure on a child she desperately wanted. In a follow up to the show's childcare costs episode, Stephanie shares her story in hopes of bringing the realities of overturning Roe V Wade to the forefront of the harrowing conversation. (Her experience happened in Nebraska, a state where abortion was legal up to 22 weeks, but still, living it was a nightmare.)

This week, the trans femmes finally write in with costs of transition! Gaby learns in real time that trans surgeries are often denied to fat people. Cooper has three very specific things she wants to better herself. Kate and Caroline validate Mal's opinions on IUDs. Ashley sends a shocking voicemail about working for commission. We also talk workplace accommodations, trans gynos who know you socially, banking rules, Mal's turbulent experiences with condoms, and what we were told we should do as jobs when we were in middle school.

In this incredible and vulnerable coming out-inspired episode, co-host Mal Blum contacts banks to test which ones allow trans people to change their names on their accounts without paperwork. They ask about: changing deadnames on accounts to shortened versions, opening new accounts under chosen names, and which banks allow you to alter your name on your checks or credit cards. They encounter well-meaning reps, repetitions of their deadname, and roadblocks that make no goddamn sense. And happy GLAAD Spirit Day! (That's today! According to their website: "This day aims to create awareness for the bullying and harassment that the LGBTQ community faces.") Thank you to Mal for doing all this work and putting themselves on the line for the good of every queer listener!  Banks in this episode: Chase Bank TD Bank Wells Fargo CitiBank (corporate vs. local branch) Links: https://www.glaad.org/spiritday Gaby Dunn Instagram: @GabyRoad Mal Blum is @malblum anywhere you want to find them BWM Instagram: @bwmpod BWM Facebook group: http://tinyurl.com/badwithmoneyfb The BWM Discord channel: https://discord.gg/dAdxj4JMER Find Gaby on Patreon: patreon.com/gabydunn Shop gabydunn.com/shop for merch!

We hear an email about IUDs and gender dysphoria, a voicemail from Lou about their hysterectomy, the concept of "boy juice," insurance snafus that cost thousands of dollars, and financing transition before online resources were available. Wedge pillows, jade rollers, scar cream, copays and all the other small tidbits needed to recover from surgery -- with specific numbers! And finally, Gaby responds to criticism of them saying they were "getting rid of their girl clothes."

And you thought Don't Worry Darling had problems!! This week our real life Girl In The Green Scarf Lauren Anastasio of STASH joins Gaby to break down the 2009 "aspirational" and/or "lesson-learned" film Confessions Of A Shopaholic starring Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy. The movie premiered to much discourse and scandal on the heels of the 2008 economic recession and was branded "tone deaf" and "bragging." Articles galore ripped the romantic comedy a new one for its tasteless timing and privileged POV. Lauren and Gaby get into the real mental illness(es) behind "shopaholism," the relationship between department stores and sex, the accurate depictions of debt collecting/skiptracing, and post-pandemic "revenge spending."   Links: http://content.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1879111,00.html https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2009-feb-03-fi-shopaholic3-story.html https://www.newsweek.com/rich-are-feeling-luxury-shame-85301 John Oliver on debt collecting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxUAntt1z2c Listeners to get $25 free on Stash from Lauren, with code LAURENSTASH Gaby Dunn Instagram: @GabyRoad BWM Instagram: @bwmpod BWM Facebook group: http://tinyurl.com/badwithmoneyfb The BWM Discord channel: https://discord.gg/dAdxj4JMER Find Gaby on Patreon: patreon.com/gabydunn Shop gabydunn.com/shop for merch!

TRIGGER WARNING for medical trauma, abortion, human trafficking and needles. Thank you all for your sharing and vulnerability! In this new listener generated episode, Gaby reads and listens to your varying and harrowing experiences with selling your bodies to science. First, hematomas, misunderstandings around asexuality and Accutane, pain studies with heat, cold, and electricity, side effects from vaccine trials, giving birth as a Black queer person during Covid, and enduring permanent scarring in exchange for rent money. Cory calls in to give the pros and cons of the reality of plasma donation including good money, fainting while waiting, and problematic practices around queerness and tattoos. Plus a BUNCH of experts weigh in: Is it ethical or necessary for pregnant people and babies to participate in national medical research? What should you consider when deciding to donate your body?

This week, Gaby and Tori break down and take down Dave's newest book "Baby Steps Millionaires: How Ordinary People Built Extraordinary Wealth--and How You Can Too."

Christina Catucci aka Tiktok star Steen joins Gaby to break down and take down the 1997 international best seller and abusive Republican fan fiction book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert T. Kiyosaki. One of the most popular financial books ever, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" is not the story of two gay fathers, but rather a laundry list of evil advice, horrible and selfish takes, and straight up lies.

Holy right-wing propaganda, Batman! It's another break down and takedown -- and Gaby has lost their mind AGAIN! In just 48 hours, Gaby watched SIX Batman movies to deep dive into how the films have historically portrayed Bruce Wayne's massive wealth. They're then joined by friend of the show, activist, and Yo! Is This Racist host Andrew Ti to break down and take down the idea of Master Wayne, fictional billionaire and 2022's The Batman. Does his own or his father Thomas Wayne's philanthropy make anything in Gotham better? Why not just pay taxes??? Why would socialist babe Catwoman keep making out with the masked Elon Musk of her city? How can Hollywood keep releasing relevant Batman media when villains like the Riddler and Bane are almost always right? tw: suicide, school shooting, police violence, racism The films Gaby watched: The Batman (2022), Justice League (2017), The Dark Knight Rises (2012), Batman & Robin (1997), Batman Forever (1995), Batman Returns (1992) Links: https://screenrant.com/original-batman-not-billionaire-dc-comics/ https://www.avclub.com/matt-reeves-the-batman-wealth-and-privilege-bruce-wayne-1848661503 How Rich is Batman?

New co-host Mal is in a defeatist mood that Gaby has to pull them out of. First, a listener writes in, confused as to whether or not her and her partner's marriage would be repealed if the Supreme Court overturns Obergerfell v Hodges. Mal gives realistic and vulnerable advice to a listener with ADHD on how to budget when it seems impossible. What does one do when the world, and especially the world of money, isn't built for your neurodivergence? Colleen from Ohio shares a voicemail about preparing for the expenses of a beloved animal's end of life care. Hannah then shares her positive experiences selling plasma for extra money, until a rare side effect scared her off for good. Chelsea asks for help because she accidentally found out she's about to be fired. SOS. Alexa says her dad, a liberal landlord, would be happy to be a guest on the show, Katie asks for an episode on ethical landlording when a renter is disabled, and Liz tells a harrowing story that might just be about lead paint in a rental property.

This week, Gaby and journalist Cerise Castle explain the real life unexplained and mysterious 1987 Wall Street crash and the TV show based on it, Showtime's "Black Monday." To this day, the events surrounding the complete global stock market decimation in the late 80s have never been uncovered. Cerise and Gaby teach you everything we know about what happened, what changed the world, and why. Cerise also shares her knowledge about the War on Drugs, Iran-Contra, Freeway Rick Ross, Gary Webb's Code of Silence, and the CIA's involvement in the crack epidemic.

In a COMPREHENSIVE Breakdown and Takedown, Gaby and Celebrity Book Club podcast host Chelsea Devantez read Sophia Amoruso's 2014 memoir #GirlBoss so you don't have to. Gaby lost their GODDAMN mind at some of the anecdotes and cluelessness of the Nasty Gal founder in this Millennial feminist manifesto/business advice book. Part 1 of the recap is on Chelsea's show Celebrity Book Club, but you don't need to listen to it to understand this episode. However, the two episodes together encompass the whole book and provide alllll the tea so it'd be great to check out both! Bad With Money is now doing an occasional series called "Breakdowns and Takedowns" where Gaby and a guest read, watch, or listen to money media and recap or review it for the audience.

If you didn't understand the mortgage crisis OR The Big Short, Claire and Gaby make sure that now you do. (Although neither of them are Margot Robbie. Sorry.)

On today's show Gaby reads some PRESSING OPINIONS from Facebook, Instagram, and Discord comments. They read two 5 star Apple reviews, and welcome our new Patrons. Then in the second half of the show, a listener makes Gaby cry, as they go through our huge backlog of emails! Some of the emails are about finances and chronic illness with suggestions for disability and money content, a suggestion for an episode about Canadian co-ops, a very thorough and hopeful email about finding this show during a bipolar episode, a timely one about the fall of Roe V Wade, one about IRAs not being as useful as having cash on hand, and one from someone who claims to be an ethical landlady. Then, a preview of our upcoming pet insurance episode with one email from a veterinarian worried about being called a scam, and one voicemail about pet rent from Rebecca from NH, and an email complimenting my Bad With Money book.

Then, to honor the 7th anniversary of the passage of Obergefell v. Hodges on June 26, 2015, Gaby and their partner Mal Blum have a frank discussion about the long history of gay marriage, where we were when gay marriage passed, our future as a couple, and what the recent overturning of Roe V.

What does it mean to turn a profit when your metric of success isn't necessarily money? This week, Gaby talks to Dr. Alex Ketchum, who studies the queer, feminist and lesbian history of restaurants, about how to run a lesbian and feminist coffee house, bar or bookstore, the long and fascinating history of women-run, queer, and feminist spaces in the US, and Gaby's own torn ideas of being community-minded while needing to sell their work. Then, Gaby speaks to the Fiscal Femme Ashley Feinstein Gerstley about how women learn business at traditional business schools, getting certified by WBENC as an official women-led/women-owned business, and the limitations of "financial adulting."

Then, a funny email from Darci about corporate pride, one from Anonymous about high childcare costs in the Bay Area, and one from Betty about a credit score error that went in her favor.

Gaby dives into the phenomenon of "medical tourism" with Kurt Schaefer of Medical Tourism Mexico who used his own company's services to find a doctor to save his life. Schaefer and Gaby discuss what traveling for affordable care says about the existing healthcare systems, the prevalence and rise of medical tourism in Mexico specifically, and how other countries are able to charge less. Then, Gaby gets into the real life-or-death experience of Lihi Halpern, a fan who wrote in with an incredibly vulnerable story of how she was cohesively and holistically cared for in Israel/Palestine after being gaslit and drained financially by the US healthcare system. (And she'd vowed to never return to the Middle East... and yet...) For Kurt, the story of medical tourism is one of choice and freedom.

Creator of the exemplary explanatory video Line Goes Up: The Problem with NFTs Dan Olson joins Gaby to break down the ultimate scam behind cryptocurrency. Where did this whole idea come from? Why are people so evangelical about it? Is everything a lie? And why do some celebrities who promote NFTs get piled on? Dan's takedown is thorough and you absolutely have to hear it.

This week, they talk to programmer Stefan Thomas, a man made famous for being locked out of his crypto wallet worth 200 million dollars. Stefan breaks down the origins of crypto and why his problem is not a bug but a feature. Then, Gaby speaks to NFT artist Klara Vollstaedt about the hype market around digital art, the difference between Bored Apes and non-fungible token fine art, and how the money moves circularly within the NFT space.
