What can a 90s rom-com starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan teach us about money? A lot more than you'd think. In this fun and insightful episode of Money & Movie Mashup, Laura Sexton and Coach David Gibbs break down the financial truths hidden in You’ve Got Mail. From generational wealth and class dynamics to emotional spending and the myth that money makes you evil—we unpack it all with humor, heart, and just a little bit of nerdy nostalgia.
Whether you're a golden retriever spender, a savvy beaver builder, or a hopeful ostrich, this episode explores how your money identity impacts your relationships, career, and legacy.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- The subtle power of class dynamics in shaping money beliefs
- Why generational wealth isn’t always the villain (and how to create it wisely)
- The emotional and identity-driven side of spending—and how to spot it
- How gender and income differences show up in modern relationships
- Why “contribution” in a household isn’t just about earning money
- What your favorite You’ve Got Mail character reveals about your money habits
