"I'm so jealous of my richer siblings who don't invite me skiing"

"I'm so jealous of my richer siblings who don't invite me skiing"

Author: The Telegraph May 15, 2024 Duration: 39:27

In this episode, Katie chats to “Poppy” who is struggling with the wealth gap between herself and her siblings. However, Katie also discovers a dysfunctional penchant for posh purses is wreaking havoc with Poppy's finances. Over a delicious slice of lemon cake, she makes a rather sour confession: she's bitterly jealous of her richer siblings, who all go on skiing holidays together and have stopped bothering to invite her, as they assume she can't afford to go.

Money Confidential with Katie Morley is a podcast that digs into the real financial dilemmas people face but are often too awkward or private to discuss out loud. Hosted by The Telegraph's Consumer Champion, Katie Morley, who has a track record of winning millions in compensation for readers, this series moves beyond the headlines to explore the personal side of money. Each episode tackles a specific, thorny question sent in by listeners, from family disputes over inheritance and the etiquette of adult children living rent-free, to the social pressures of keeping up with wealthier friends or the true cost and value of private education. The conversations here are grounded in real stories, blending elements of society, culture, relationships, and even the subtle tensions that can feel like true crime within families. You'll hear Katie engage directly with people's situations, offering her seasoned perspective while facilitating honest talk that seeks practical clarity over simple judgment. This podcast provides a confidential space where the messy, emotional, and frequently unspoken rules about money are finally brought into the open.
