In this fiery episode, we dissect the internet’s most relatable money dramas:

  • A listener dumps her decade-long mooch boyfriend after he prioritizes a new boat over her 40Kdebt—spoiler: she sells the house, pockets 100K, and starts fresh. Mic drop.
  • A 27-year-old breaking generational poverty shares her $180K income glow-up but battles "never enough" anxiety. Is hustle culture blinding her to success?
  • The dark side of "deferred interest" loans: A homeowner gambles on a plumbing "hack"—until we unpack why these deals are predatory pennies in front of a steamroller.

Plus, Gwen and Tim riff on millennial resilience ("another ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ crisis, huh?") and why financial independence isn’t just about numbers—it’s about reclaiming your life.
