Money Matters: A Friendship on the Rocks
In a tale that’s as much about friendship as it is about finances, our ‘Finance Guru’ finds himself in hot water. His attempts to help his friends escape the poverty they grew up in are met with resistance, accusations, and even hostility. He’s accused of being a ‘class traitor’ and a ‘right-wing capitalist’, all for offering advice that they sought.
