  • 3 Money Decisions You’ll Either Regret Forever… or Be Glad You Made

    3 Money Decisions You’ll Either Regret Forever… or Be Glad You Made
    May 1 2026
    Three questions. No overthinking. Just real answers. This week, we’re tackling three financial decisions that feel simple on the surface… but can completely change the direction of your life. Do you walk away from a once-in-a-lifetime real estate deal—or risk blowing up your early retirement plan to take it? How do you get a $25,000 raise and still feel broke? And before you get married… do you combine finances, or protect your independence? These aren’t spreadsheet decisions. They’re life decisions. And the tricky part? Smart people land on both sides of every one of them. So we’re speed-running each scenario—what matters, what doesn’t, and how to think about these moments when there’s no obvious “right” answer. Because sometimes the biggest financial mistake… is thinking there’s only one way to do it.

  • Money and Marriage -- When 50/50 stops making sense

    Money and Marriage -- When 50/50 stops making sense
    Apr 23 2026
    What happens when one spouse downshifts their career—and the money dynamic in a marriage suddenly changes? This week, Pete, Kristen, and Dame tackle a thoughtful (and spicy) listener dilemma: after years of splitting everything 50/50, one partner takes a step back from full-time work and plans to fund their share of expenses by pulling $30,000 a year from investments. The other partner says… absolutely not. Is this about taxes? Fairness? Control? We dig into the emotional and financial layers of modern marriage: Does everything have to stay 50/50 forever? Is selling investments for “independence” actually costing more than it’s worth? And how do couples redefine “fair” when life changes? Because sometimes the biggest money decisions aren’t about math—they’re about identity.

  • Did Boomers have it worse than Millennials at their age?

    Did Boomers have it worse than Millennials at their age?
    Apr 17 2026
    Millennials say the system is broken. Boomers say, “Try buying a house at 18% interest.” So… who’s right? This week, Pete, Damian, and Kristen step into one of the most emotionally charged financial debates out there—and do something rare: they put numbers behind the noise. From income to housing, college costs to overall wealth, the crew breaks down what each generation actually faced at the same stage of life. And the results aren’t as clear-cut as social media would have you believe. Yes, Millennials are dealing with sky-high home prices and student loan debt that follows them for decades. But Boomers battled double-digit inflation and mortgage rates that made monthly payments brutal. And when you zoom out? Millennials may actually be ahead in net worth at this point in life—though Boomers still control the majority of total wealth in America. So what’s really going on? This episode reframes the entire argument: it’s not about who worked harder or who had it worse—it’s about timing. When you entered the economy shaped what was possible for you, from buying a home to building wealth. The bigger takeaway? Most people, regardless of generation, feel like the game is harder now. And that might be the most important signal of all. If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “They had it easier,” or “Why does this feel so hard?”—this conversation will give you clarity, context, and a much-needed reset. Here’s why it matters: You don’t get to choose your economy. But you do get to choose how you operate within it.
