This week on Half Past Chai, we sit down with TikTok finance creator DollarsWithDrew as he reviews our income, spending habits, money mistakes, and how we actually manage life as creators and business owners.

If you’ve ever wondered how creators make money, what financial transparency really looks like, or how to think smarter about your own finances this episode is for you.

Now settle in, get cozy, and grab your chai. 💛

New episodes every Monday at 7 am. Don’t forget to subscribe, and as always, we love you! Thank you for spending your Monday with us 💛
