How do freshly graduated creatives survive in Los Angeles and New York City? Listen on to find out!

Today is all about budget breakdowns in two of the most sought after (and expensive!)  cities in the world, New York City and Los Angeles. We believe this is a really important topic to talk about because for all of the classes and time we spend in college learning—honestly—some pretty useless sh*t that is hardly applicable to life in the real world, more often than not, we come out of college with a decent amount of student debt and without a game plan on budgeting moving forward.

Molly Elizabeth, LA-based celebrity stylist and designer, joins host Lauren for a very transparent and honest conversation about what they make as newly graduated creatives in their respective fields and cities. From their best and worst spending habits to life hacks on saving in these cities, Molly and Lauren tell all.
