I can just feel it.

First of all, every time I go out in public, people are asking me if I'm Weijian.

That never used to happen.

Why do I feel like a celebrity now just because I'm Weijian?

Girl math.

I'm just a girl and living a soft life.

Aren't just fun trends.

They're financial fantasies.

Chelsea Fagan, author and CEO of The Financial Diet, joins the show to unpack how our romantic pursuits, romance novels, and even the way we think about aging are all wrapped up in our insecurities surrounding class.

Chelsea, welcome to It's Been a Minute.

Hello, hello.

I'm Brittany Luce, and you're listening to It's Been a Minute from NPR, a show about what's going on in culture and why it doesn't happen by accident.

Listen, I'm excited.

I'm excited.

I have been getting all types of advice from you and your guests for a very long time.

Sometimes I hear some of their voices in the back of my head.

I want to make an unwise purchase.

And it thwarts me.

So I'm grateful for that.

So I'm very excited to have you here today.
