Understanding Train Station | EP45: 100k Dollars Debt After College?! Money & Finances in Germany vs. USA @UnderstandingTrainStation | Uploaded March 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Josh was back in Cincinnati for two weeks, so we got to record a couple of episodes in person 🥳 And we finally got to talk about a topic that we've been wanting to cover for a while now: Money and finances in Germany and the US.
