Vivian is back by popular demand with another round of “Am I The Asshole? Finance Edition,” where she dives into your messiest money dilemmas and delivers her unfiltered verdict on who’s actually in the wrong.

1. How to navigate financial boundaries with partners, friends, and family members, including when helping someone financially crosses the line into being taken advantage of.
2. What people actually owe each other in messy money situations, from destination wedding cancellations and shared travel costs to scams, loans, and group expenses that suddenly become awkward.
3. How to protect your own financial future while still showing up for the people you care about, plus Vivian’s honest takes on guilt, entitlement, resentment, and the emotional side of money no one teaches you about.
