Welcome to Show Me The Money, the podcast that's more Pivot! than personal finance 📦💸

Our Friends mini-series continues with one of the show's most divisive characters... Ross Geller. Was Ross really the villain of Friends... or was he simply the most financially responsible person in the room?

Unlike the rest of the gang, Ross follows a predictable path. A stable career, a regular salary, a secure profession and eventually tenure at NYU. But while his finances appear rock solid, his personal life tells a very different story.

In this episode, we explore why financial security isn't always the same as financial freedom. From the hidden costs of three divorces and raising children, to the mindset that comes with always having a guaranteed pay cheque, we unpack what Ross' story can teach us about money, stability and risk.

We also dive into one of the biggest debates in personal finance: where does being financially savvy end... and being a cheapskate begin? From hotel toiletries and free samples to Ross' iconic obsession with getting the most for his money, we ask whether frugality is a strength or a scarcity mindset.

• Why Ross is the most financially stable Friend

• The security of a salary vs the uncertainty of self-employment

• The hidden financial cost of divorce and family life

• Does financial stability make you less aware of money struggles?

• Where's the line between being frugal and being cheap?

• Consumer culture, underconsumption and modern money mindsets

• Was Ross actually the most sensible character in Friends?

Follow Show Me The Money as we unpack the money lessons hidden inside your favourite TV shows and films, one character at a time. 💸
