The cost of living has risen and economic challenges for young people are greater than ever. Things were so much more affordable for their parents and grandparents. And having money worries can also affect their self-esteem.
Tolani joins Jamilla Blake in the studio to discuss financial wellbeing.
She talks about how much harder it is nowadays for young people to get on the property ladder and the unrealistic standards for success set by people social media. She explains why she’s so open about her earnings online and the importance of transparency and open conversation around money.
Tolani also talks about the student loan crisis and stresses the importance of knowing your earning trajectory before deciding to get into debt for a degree, and doing your research to learn how to get the most out of your money.
