🔮 Build a Smarter Financial Future
Prepping for a better financial future doesn’t come from hot takes or hustle culture, it comes from understanding proven ideas and how money actually works.
That’s why we love Shortform.
They break down the best non-fiction books covering topics like finance, economics, decision-making, and more into clear, practical insights you can use right away, without having to read the entire book.
Each summary includes chapter breakdowns, analysis, and even counterpoints, all written by a team of real humans (a refreshing break from AI slop).
Read more, learn faster, and make better decisions with Shortform. **
🎧 Two Episodes You Need to Hear Right Now
We just dropped two episodes that are so relevant to what's happening in 2026, and we think they'll completely shift your perspective on money this year.
Everyone's predicting a "collapse."
Some even say it'll be worse than 2008. But here's what credible forecasts actually suggest for 2026: moderate growth and stable mortgage rates.
This episode is a little satirical—we're poking fun at all the rage bait content flooding your feed—but the takeaway is serious: don't listen to media extremism or sensationalism.
We'll walk you through what's really happening and how to prepare without the panic.
Ever wonder why you still feel financially stressed even though you're making more than you ever have? You're not alone, and you're not broken.
Here's the truth: historically, keeping up with the Joneses was limited by local social circles.
Now, constant exposure to polished lifestyles on social media makes lifestyle creep psychologically stronger—our hopes and expectations rise faster than our actual income.
In this episode, we talk about money dysmorphia, social comparison, and why even high earners feel like they're never enough.
More importantly, we share actionable steps: track your income like you track your spending and build a habit of values-based spending.
This one's a game-changer. Promise.
Thanks for being part of our community. We're cheering you on as you navigate your money journey this year!
And don't forget to enter the giveaway! The $1,000 could be yours!
