Have You Tried Being Rich? Launches September 1 With a No-BS Take on Money Advice

ALLENTOWN, PA, August 12, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ — Financial advice is everywhere. Unfortunately, a lot of it seems to come from people who think skipping coffee is the missing piece of your retirement plan.

That is exactly why Have You Tried Being Rich? exists.

Launching September 1, 2026, Have You Tried Being Rich? is a new no-BS money podcast for everyone tired of financial advice that sounds simple, smug, or completely disconnected from real life.

Hosted by Kristin Geosits and Dria Benjamin, the show takes on the financial advice people hear every day and asks a pretty important question: does any of this actually make sense?

Each episode breaks down popular money takes, calls out what is misleading, challenges outdated financial wisdom, and gets into what actually matters when people are trying to make smarter decisions with their money.

Because while plenty of financial advice makes it sound easy, real life looks a little different. People are dealing with rent, groceries, student loans, debt, rising prices, layoffs, burnout, and an economy that can make even responsible financial decisions feel harder than they should.

Have You Tried Being Rich? is not interested in adding more finger-wagging to the conversation.

There are no lectures about waking up at 5 a.m. No hustle-culture sermons. No pretending everyone could own a house if they just budgeted a little better. And no rich people explaining how easy money is once you already have plenty of it.

Instead, Kristin and Dria bring honest conversations, smarter financial takes, and practical perspective to a topic that is too often buried under shame, jargon, and unrealistic expectations.

New episodes will be released every two weeks.

“We’re tired of financial advice that acts like everyone is one budgeting spreadsheet away from buying a house,” said Kristin Geosits, co-host of Have You Tried Being Rich? “The reality is more complicated—and honestly, more interesting. We wanted to create a show that reflects how people actually experience money today.”

“Most financial education talks at people instead of with them,” added co-host Dria Benjamin. “We’re interested in conversations that meet people where they are—whether that’s navigating student loans, juggling multiple income streams, dealing with burnout, or simply trying to make good decisions in an expensive world.”

ABOUT THE HOSTS

Kristin Geosits works in the financial industry, but she is the first to admit that working in finance does not mean having every answer.

She brings a candid and skeptical perspective to the financial advice people are constantly told to follow, especially when that advice ignores the reality of rising costs, student debt, competitive housing markets, and an economy that has changed dramatically from the one many traditional money rules were built for.

Kristin is interested in the space between what people are told they should do with their money and what actually makes sense in real life. Listeners can expect smart questions, honest conversations, relatable chaos, and very little patience for financial advice that starts with “just.”

Dria Benjamin believes financial education should help people make better decisions, not make them feel bad about the decisions they have already made.

She brings an approachable, practical perspective to conversations about money and a healthy skepticism toward advice that oversimplifies complicated financial realities. Dria combines useful financial perspective, relatable stories, and humor to make money conversations easier to understand without turning them into another lecture.

Her goal is to help listeners cut through the noise, understand what actually matters, and feel more confident making financial decisions that work for their own lives.

WHAT LISTENERS CAN EXPECT

Each episode of Have You Tried Being Rich? takes on a financial idea, trend, piece of conventional wisdom, or popular money take and puts it under the microscope.

Some advice holds up. Some needs more context. And some probably should have been retired along with the idea that everyone can buy a house if they stop ordering lattes.

Through candid conversations, financial insight, personal stories, humor, and a healthy dose of skepticism, Kristin and Dria break down what is useful, what is misleading, and what people actually need to know before making real financial decisions.

The show tackles bad financial advice, money myths, fake-guru promises, hustle-culture nonsense, and the endless stream of rules telling people what they are supposedly doing wrong with their money.

The result is financial content for people who want to learn without being judged, talked down to, or told their biggest financial problem is coffee.
