Okie dokie, today's question comes from Jared in Wyoming.

He says, I realize that money is a personal topic and it can be volatile, but when I hear my coworkers brag about credit card points, it makes my head spin.

How do you recommend discussing financial issues in casual social settings?

Should I engage in conversation and try to be helpful or just keep to myself?

I'm gonna tell you a story.

about what I don't do.

And I learned it because I was around someone who did do it.

So I'm mostly a plant-based eater.

I don't eat meat.

Occasionally I'll do some dairy, but I once knew somebody who was so heavy handed

With every situation.

If she was in a situation when other people were eating meat, it was like, I can't believe you're eating meat.

Like, this is the worst.

Like, how could you?

Right?

And it's just such an off-putting.

Like, it was giving all of us a bad name.

I was like, hey, you need to stop that.

It's making all of us look bad.

Because nobody likes to be beat over the head with something that they possibly don't agree with.
