65| How Do I Ask My Roommates to Pay More?

Have you ever struggled with feelings of fear and stress around money? 

Growing up in a household where discretionary spending was not an option, our listener felt like a financial burden and was hesitant to spend even the few dollars they were given. 

This mentality persisted well into college, where they struggled to contribute their fair share to shared expenses with roommates. But now they're wondering, how do you approach conversations with others about sharing expenses when you've been the one making things awkward?

We explore ways to navigate these delicate conversations and how to help others who may be struggling with similar emotional attachments to money.
