In each episode of Young Money, host Akilah Hughes finds herself in a situation where she must decide how stringently to save her money and weigh that desire against any social implications that may result. In one, for example, she must discern the right tone to use while nudging a roommate about rent. In another, she has do decide whether she wants to dive into the world of DIY projects.
