We trust our friends with the most intimate details of our lives. Yet for a lot of us, talking about finances feels off limits. So what happens when you find yourself in a friendship where money becomes an issue? In collaboration with NPR's Life Kit, the Cut's Jazmín Aguilera tries to find a solution. First, she talks to TikToker Tom Cruz, who went viral for showing the world a spreadsheet of his friends' incomes. He says radical transparency is the key to managing friends and money.

Yomi Adegoke is a multi award-winning journalist and author who writes about race, feminism, class, politics and how those things intersect. Besides having columns in both Vogue and the Guardian, Yomi is also the co-author of Slay In Your Lane: The Black Girl Bible, an inspirational guide to life for Black British women, as well as series of follow-up titles including Slay In Your Lane: The Journal, and most recently Loud Black Girls, an anthology of Black British writing featuring essays from the voices of twenty emerging and established Black British writers. We chatted about the emotional significance of Yomi buying her own home earlier this year, as well as the many responsibilities that come with being a homeowner; her changing class identity and how her upbringing shaped her relationship with money; the ‘shame' of being middle-class and the cultural reluctance to admit to class privilege, as well as the differences in the Black British experience when you're middle-class as opposed to working class. Yomi also shared some brilliant insights into the practicalities – and challenges – of buying a home as a self-employed person, and we finished off with a broader discussion about career anxiety, and how that's prompted Yomi to think about her long term career plans.

Journalist Vicky Spratt is the i Paper's housing correspondent as well as an editor at Refinery29 UK, and has been reporting on the UK's housing crisis for a number of years. In 2016 she created a successful campaign, Make Renting Fair, designed to highlight the plight of ‘Generation Rent', and which resulted in the government announcing a ban on letting agency fees for tenants. Her forthcoming book Tenants will be published next year, and is set to be the most comprehensive look at the human impact of the housing crisis yet. On this episode, Vicky carefully explains why the UK's housing market is so messed up before going on to demystify the pros and cons of some of the schemes frequently advertised as the best way for first time buyers to get onto the property ladder, including shared ownership and Help To Buy – the latter of which was Vicky's own route into homeownership. We also discussed the more emotional side of how housing insecurity affects people, and the consequences of the UK's cultural obsession with homeownership, as well as class and social mobility, in particular Vicky's experiences of disguising her own class background to fit in while she was studying at Oxford.

Her debut book, Little Black Book, made The Sunday Times bestseller list, and she's just published her third book, We Need To Talk About Money — a personal and candid memoir exploring her relationship with money.We Need To Talk About Money was born out of a lack of cultural transparency around finances. It follows Otegha's process in uncovering her deep-rooted beliefs and patterns around money and discusses how she has overcome financial anxiety. Today on The Wallet: 1/ Otegha shares her early experiences with money, what money means to her, and explains how we can all begin a journey of introspection to better understand our own attitudes towards money.2/ We discuss the role privilege plays in the workplace, and how the culture of ‘don't ask, don't tell' is detrimental to everyone, but especially affects women, people of colour and minorities when negotiating salaries and fees.3/ We look at how Otegha's relationship with money has evolved over time, and how you can learn to enjoy what you earn when you're prone to worrying about money.

Plus she's an illustrator, with much of her artwork focusing on bringing data to life by visualizing important information around various political and social issues, from poverty and wealth to women's health issues and racial inequities. On this episode we discussed the concept of ‘money dysmorphia' – that is a dissonance between your feelings about your financial circumstances and the reality – as well as how your upbringing and childhood experiences affect your relationship to money, particularly if you're from an immigrant background. We also talked about toxic workplaces and racism at work, and deciding whether or not to speak up publicly about that, as well as how freelancing has changed Mona's relationship to money.

The Footie! England's through to the final of the Euros after a nail biting match against Denmark last night. We speak to Emma Hayes, Chelsea Women Manager who was on the TV commentary team last night; to Jacqui Oatley who's commentated for World Cups and European Championships for both the BBC and ITV, and to Jane Merrick, Policy Editor at the i newspaper who tweeted last night about loving the celebration. We also hear from 2 members of Atomic Kitten, who sing us some of their song, Whole Again, specially reversioned for the England team. We talk about money with Otegha Uwagba. She's got a new book called We Need To Talk About Money. At the end of last month Bill Cosby was freed from prison after serving less than three years of a potential ten year sentence. Accused by more than 60 women of rape or sexual assault he's always maintained his innocence. Victoria Valentino was one of those women who made allegations but didn't speak up for 45 years. She tells Emma her story. And contraception and environmentalism. If your pill, coil or condoms came with a message about how having fewer children is better for the environment, how would you feel about it? The idea of limiting or controlling the number of people on the planet is highly controversial but there are academics and specialists in women's reproductive rights who think now is the time to restart the conversation about having smaller families. Emma speaks to journalist and commentator, Ella Whelan, and to Professor of Policy, Systems and Reproductive Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Susannah Mayhew.

Anna Wiener is a contributing writer to The New Yorker online, where she writes about Silicon Valley, start-up culture, and technology, and the author of tech memoir Uncanny Valley, which tells the story of Anna’s time working in Silicon Valley during her mid to late twenties. Despite its tech world setting, Uncanny Valley is very much an everywoman story that will be familiar to any woman who’s ever worked in a sexist environment, and it touches on everything from gendered discrimination and emotional labour in the workplace, to why your work will never be your family, and the lies that companies often tell their employees. It’s also a brilliant exploration of the often toxic nature of tech startups, and the ethical quandaries that many of those companies are struggling to address.

Academic, activist, broadcaster and SOAS university teaching fellow Emma Dabiri joins me to discuss her latest book What White People Can Do Next: From Allyship to Coalition. Written in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder last year and the subsequent conversations on racism and anti-racism that followed it, What White People Can Do Next is a simultaneously radical and practical essay aimed at changing the way we talk about racial injustice, and featuring some incredibly nuanced and thoroughly original analyses of race, class, privilege and capitalism. A thoroughly illuminating read – and now a Sunday Times and Irish Times bestseller – it tackles the subject of race through a very different lens to the prevailing narrative, and in our discussion Emma shares why she felt so compelled to write this essay, the problems with the current anti-racist framework, the role that social media plays in learning about anti-racist theory and her thoughts on coalition building and the importance of finding common ground across racial lines.
