Ramit unpacks how to stop overspending, stay out of debt, and start building wealth as this couple confronts the spending habits they thought they had already fixed. Three years ago, Mason and Becca finally confronted a financial reality they had been avoiding. Despite good careers and the appearance of success, they had accumulated nearly $50,000 in credit card debt. They cut back hard, aggressively paid it down, sold their house, and moved to Florida. Now they have around $100,000 from the home sale sitting in savings, but they're worried the same habits that got them into debt are starting to creep back in. They still don't properly track their spending. Shopping, expensive date nights and a large “miscellaneous” category make it difficult to see where their money is actually going, while Mason experiments with day trading and considers ideas for generating passive income. On paper, they're doing far better than they realize: they have around $204,000 invested, $124,000 in savings, and a net worth of roughly $326,000. But without changing how they spend and manage their money, Ramit sees a real risk of them falling back into debt. Ramit helps them figure out what comes after getting out of debt: how to stop mindless spending without giving up the things they love, save and invest intentionally, and start building real wealth. They rethink their plans for an $800,000 dream home, confront the scarcity they both grew up with, and discover how increasing their income and investing more could completely transform their financial future. In this episode, we uncover: How Mason and Becca built nearly $50,000 in credit card debt The conversation that finally forced them to change their spending Why they used a 401(k) loan to aggressively pay down debt How selling their house left them with around $100,000 in cash Why having that much money makes Becca anxious Why they're scared of slipping back into their old spending habits How shopping, expensive date nights, and impulse purchases added up Why they still don't properly track where their money goes How their $3,000 Disney annual passes fit into their Rich Life Why Ramit sees a real risk of them falling back into debt What Ramit sees in Mason's day trading and passive income ideas Why their $326,000 net worth surprises them How Becca's childhood shaped her belief that she would never be rich How Mason grew up seeing money as stress and struggle What they want their son to learn about money Why buying an $800,000 house would require major trade-offs How Ramit helps them rebuild their Conscious Spending Plan Why increasing their income becomes the biggest lever for their future How their retirement projection jumps from around $3.1M to $4.7M How they finally become completely debt-free Chapters: (00:00:00) Introduction (00:02:45) How they built nearly $50K in debt (00:06:39) Using a 401(k) loan to escape debt (00:08:53) Selling their house leaves them with $100,000 (00:11:15) “We just swiped the card” (00:14:37) Their old spending habits start creeping back (00:16:31) They disagree about buying another house (00:24:05) Ramit reviews their financial numbers (00:31:13) Ramit digs into their 71% fixed costs (00:37:30) Day trading and the dream of passive income (00:38:46) How Becca grew up around money (00:47:50) How Mason grew up around money (00:52:43) What they want to teach their son (00:56:41) Ramit starts rebuilding their financial plan (01:07:26) Redirecting their money toward investing (01:11:59) The reality of an $800,000 dream home (01:19:18) Why earning more becomes the priority (01:24:01) Their retirement could reach $4.7 million (01:32:15) Their house timeline changes completely (01:33:25) Mason and Becca become debt-free This episode is brought to you by: Facet | As of the date of this recording, Facet is waiving the enrollment fee for new annual members, and for my audience, Facet is offering $300 into your brokerage account if you invest and maintain $5,000 within your first 90 days.

He runs the same ten principles through both, from tracking calories or spending, to weekly check-ins, written goals, public accountability, and rewards that do not undo the progress. His argument is that neither one works as a crash program, and that paying down debt is a lifestyle change rather than a sprint.

Ray Dalio says the United States is approaching a debt crisis, or maybe is already in one. The government knows UST demand is becoming a problem, so the argument goes, and it is quietly trying to control the bond market with buybacks before the situation gets out of control.But what you probably don't know is that there are ways to test Ray Dalio's warning.

Episode 350, and apparently the milestone gift is discovering that the United States is now paying the mortgage with the credit card. Chris and Rajeil unpack Scott Bessent's decision to supersize Treasury bond buybacks just as long-term yields hit 19-year highs and the national debt crossed $40 trillion. We go from Venice's first bond market to the Treasury-Fed Accord, Japan's yield-curve-control experiment, and why governments have a long, ugly history of trying to bully borrowing costs lower. Then there's the timing: the accelerated program starts September 9, runs through November 4, and somehow manages to wrap up one day after the midterm elections. Pure coincidence, obviously. Add a Fed already fighting inflation, a tapped-out consumer, and markets beginning to question the price of American debt, and Episode 350 asks the uncomfortable question: when the smoke alarm gets too loud, are we fixing the fire—or just pulling the battery?

Investing is what creates freedom. Buying assets is what creates freedom."If you're tired of feeling like medicine is something you have to keep doing instead of something you get to choose, this workshop is for you.Join us to learn how busy women physicians are creating financial freedom, building real options, and designing lives they do not need to escape from without waiting for traditional retirement.

#336 This bite-sized solo episode explains why profit should not be treated as one pile of money to spend at will. Billy shares a simple framework for assigning every dollar of profit a purpose, so business owners can avoid tax surprises, manage debt, build reserves, and grow with more control. He uses a real-life tax bill as the trigger for the discussion and breaks the topic into five practical jobs of profit that matter for any business owner, especially gym owners. Key topics In this episode, Billy introduces the "jobs of profit" framework and explains why profit needs to be divided intentionally instead of paid out immediately. Taxes come first - Billy says the IRS effectively gets paid before the owner does, so set aside a percentage of each dollar of profit in a separate tax savings account. Owner distributions are a legitimate use of profit - after paying yourself a reasonable operating salary, some profit can be taken as an owner draw or distribution. Sinking funds help cover large purchases - instead of relying on debt for equipment or other major expenses, profit can be reserved over time for future needs. Debt repayment is not a business expense - principal payments come from after-tax profit, so a business that only breaks even may still not have enough cash to service debt. A cushion creates margin and flexibility - Billy recommends aiming for roughly three months of operating expenses to protect against slow months and surprise costs. Profit can fund intentional growth - with reserves in place, businesses can expand locations, hire staff, add programs, or seize opportunities without scrambling. The main warning: Billy says many owners make the mistake of giving profit only one job, usually owner pay, which leaves them exposed on taxes, debt, and future expenses. Notable quotes "Profit has different jobs." "The IRS is the epitome of pay yourself first." "Be greedy when other people are fearful." Take the Gym Owner Financial Health Check, which will show you exactly where you need to focus.  

America's national debt has crossed a staggering $40 trillion — but what does that actually mean for you? Michael sits down with Michael A. Peterson, Chairman and CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, to explain how the country got here, why mounting debt affects everything from mortgages to Social Security, and what it would really take for Washington to change course. Plus, listeners weigh in on whether Americans and their elected leaders are willing to make the difficult choices required to tackle the problem. Original air date 25 August 2026.

Interest rates are rising, long-term bond prices have pulled back, and investors are once again worried that higher Treasury yields could threaten the economy and markets. But what if today's rates aren't historically high at all? After more than a decade of near-zero rates and easy monetary policy, investors may have become accustomed to an environment that was anything but normal. Lance Roberts & Jon Penn put today's interest rates into historical perspective, examine what higher yields really say about inflation, growth, debt, and deficits, and explain why a 5% long-term Treasury yield may not be the crisis many headlines suggest. We'll also look at what the changing rate environment means for stocks, bonds, portfolio risk, and investors deciding whether weakness in longer-duration bonds is a warning—or an opportunity. 0:00 INTRO 1:04 - Weekly Preview & Treasury General Account Bond Buy Backs 2:04 - Shorting Treasuries & The Hedge Fund Trade 5:37 - Markets Going Thru a Slow-Motion Correction 8:24 - BitCoin Rallies on Bessent Announcement 11:52 - Bonds & Rates: Brake or Break? 19:08 - Rates Are Normal 21:56 - The Primary Determinants that Set Loan Rates (Economic Composite Index) 25:46 - The Effect of Debt on Economy 29:46 - The Negative Multiplier, Measured (Gov't.

Would you let a stranger run up a bill in your name for 10 years and say nothing? That's exactly what you've been doing to yourself. The debt collector you've been avoiding is already staring back at you in the mirror. And this morning, 45 minutes before recording this episode, George sat in his car and scrolled YouTube Shorts for 15 minutes. He caught it. He's showing you exactly what he did next. This is a first-of-its-kind format for the show, a step-by-step implementation guide built from a guest interview. George takes Dr. Lester Clowes' concept of promised debt and turns it into an actionable, practical system you can start tonight. One kept promise. One small deposit. That's where it begins. What You'll Learn In This Episode: What promised debt is and why it's a debt problem, not a discipline problem How to identify where you're making withdrawals in your business right now Why big commitments make promised debt worse and what to do instead The embarrassingly small promise system and why it rebuilds trust faster than anything else The Gap vs. the Gain framework from Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy Why gain thinking is the only operating system that makes this whole system actually work The one piece of scripture that ties the entire framework together Key Takeaways: ✔️Promised debt is what happens when you keep making promises to yourself and breaking them, one by one, silently. Most people are years in the negative and wonder why they can't trust themselves. ✔️This is not a discipline problem. It's a debt problem. The imposter feeling, the second-guessing, the burnout, it's almost always promised debt underneath. ✔️When you realize your balance is negative, the instinct is to go big. That's wrong. Bigger commitments make the balance worse when they collapse. The fix is embarrassingly small ones. ✔️If the promise doesn't feel a little embarrassing to write down, it's probably still too big. ✔️One kept promise that small, seven days in a row, rebuilds more self-trust than one heroic effort that collapses on day three. ✔️The Gap measures you against a moving future target. The Gain measures you against where you started. Promise debt only works long-term if you're running it through the Gain. ✔️Motivation comes and goes. The system, the physical ledger, the written promise, the checkmark, is what holds when motivation doesn't. ✔️Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much. Luke 16:10. Start with the seed.

Trump is promising an "economic D-Day" against Iran while trying to lower beef prices by temporarily removing a tariff. So tariffs don't raise prices... except when removing them lowers prices? Nate and Charlie break down Trump's new economic pressure campaign against Iran, the oil-market reaction, and whether decades of sanctions give us any reason to expect a different result this time. Then it's beef. Trump announced a 90-day plan allowing hundreds of thousands of metric tons of ground beef to enter without the out-of-quota tariff, while promising cheaper prices and more room for American cattle producers to grow. The guys dig into the incentives, Thomas Massie's response, and the obvious tariff contradiction. Finally, the national debt has crossed $40 trillion. Did the Bush and Trump tax cuts create the debt problem, or does Washington simply spend every dollar it can get its hands on? Plus: 91% tax rates, government roads, patents, AI data centers, and a viral claim about Gary, Indiana that sends the show completely off the rails.

They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Molly Ruland says the hardest thing in growing a small business is perseverance. She compares business growth to the ocean—there are ebbs and flows, so you have to keep going through both the good and bad periods. She also emphasizes staying vigilant by continually checking your offers and reviewing your website/content to make sure everything is still relevant. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Molly Ruland shares that her favorite business book is The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John C. Maxwell.

Molly Ruland shares that she is a member of Together Digital, a women-in-marketing digital collective, which she finds to be an excellent resource. She also relies heavily on business books and audiobooks for professional development, treating them almost like mentors. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Molly Ruland shares that she highly recommends Gamma. She says Gamma can significantly improve proposals, reports, and other business materials, and that it can change the way you work. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Molly Ruland shares that she would tell herself to "get a therapist." She explains that so much of running a business is a head game and that entrepreneurship can be a lonely journey.

Labour's confident stagnant property prices won't hurt its plans to slash debt if re-elected. The party's seeking to return to surplus by the end of the decade and lower net debt to 20% of GDP over time. Its plans hinge on a fully implemented Capital Gains Tax. Labour Leader Chris Hipkins told Mike Hosking that it's not expected the sliding property market will continue. He says even the current government's budgeting for property prices to return to a long term average growth of around three percent. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.This week, they discuss a socialist state lawmaker shocking the Democrats by winning the Florida U.S. Senate primary, a company admitting it completely fabricated recent polling results, the U.S. national debt reaching $40 trillion, and a majority of Dems, independents, and Republicans favoring price controls.First, they discuss the stunning victory of socialist Angie Nixon in the Florida Democratic U.S. Senate primary over the heavily-favored establishment pick, Alexander Vindman. Jim and Greg also discuss how this result may impact the governor's race, and they round up a number of encouraging results in GOP congressional primaries.Next, they dig into "Median Strategies" announcing it is done polling, fabricated all of their results, and the whole operation was a social experiment to see how much fake polling could get reported without anyone bothering to verify the results were legitimate.Then, they wince as the U.S. national debt surges past $40 trillion. They fume at both parties for refusing to deal with this problem long before it got this bad. They also blast Democrats and some Republicans who blocked the effort more than 20 years ago to allow Americans to invest some of the money they pay in Social Security taxes. The payoff now would have been huge.Finally, they groan as a new poll shows a majority of Democrats, independents, and even Republicans all favor price controls. Charlie argues that many politicians are flat out lying about our current economic conditions and are convincing too many people of the wrong remedy.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.New episodes every weekday.

IF YOU ARE A NEW LISTENER, WELCOME! BEGIN HERE: This year we are doing my group coaching course together via this podcast! It's free and it only gets better as the year progresses.  In January we began with God at the center of our day and our home. We worked to build the habit of a morning prayer routine. I highly recommend the rosary. It's only about 20 minutes and you'll meditate on the whole life of Jesus. February is the month of decluttering. Saturday episodes have been added to focus on decluttering in the kitchen. Each month will have a different focus area and the Saturday episodes will help you focus on one small section of that room.  In March we decluttered your wardrobe. In April we are moving into budgeting for food. Our Saturday episodes will still be about decluttering. Our declutter focus area for April is your bedroom. In May we dreamed big! June brings us to one of the most useful topics in my group coaching course…meal planning. Ah, the feel of knowing exactly what's for dinner is the most stress-free feeling in the world! Our declutter focus area for June is Hallways/Landings. July is a much anticipated month of money/budgeting. Our Saturday episodes (otherwise known as the declutter episodes) will focus on decluttering TOYS! August is the month that brings it all together. Routines and Rhythms. Our declutter focus area for this month is your garage or shed. Give this first episode of 2026 a listen to hear where to begin: 316. Your 2026 Life Overhaul Plan: Faith, Clutter, Debt, Diet and More!  If you've never prayed a rosary or you want to see how you can incorporate it into active decluttering, here is the first episode of my rosary declutter series from last summer. 288. Summer Declutter Series Week Just getting started on your decluttering journey? Give this episode a listen before you begin: 322. Guidelines to Decluttering ***Are you so overwhelmed with clutter that you find yourself unable to make any decisions? Do you plan on decluttering only to find yourself standing in a room confused about where to start? Are you hoping motivation will strike and you'll get it all done in one weekend? If this sounds like you, let's work together. Book a one hour virtual coaching session via Zoom. Together we craft a decluttering plan and I walk you through the process.

Thanks to endless fiscal and monetary loose-money policies, we are now trapped in an inescapable cycle of stagflation. We can't just "grow our way out" of this crisis. I'm joined by Ninja Trader Live macro strategist Craig Shapiro to expose the brutal reality behind the $40 trillion national debt and why the bond market is quietly rebelling against government policies to manipulate interest rates and ease the debt burden. From the catastrophic long-term effects of COVID-era spending to the "fake growth" fueled by the AI CapEx bubble, this conversation breaks down how Wall Street is being juiced at the expense of Main Street. What happens when the economy becomes increasingly dependent on a handful of mega-cap companies, AI spending, rising asset values, and government deficits? It crushes Gen Z, destroying housing affordability and driving younger voters toward radical political extremes. The Trump administration will continue defending the status quo “stock market economy” at its own peril.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Golden Age: Milestone Debt Hits $40 Trillion by Ron Paul Liberty Report

The “Illegal” Iran War, His Favorite Wrestler. DJT in the WWE Hall of Fame. Hegseth, Klobachar, The Debt, USS Lincoln, Socialism's Surge, La Casa De MSNBC. And The Indy Senate Candidates On The Cusp Of Doing What He Did. Jesse Ventura returns to Independent Americans and does what only Jesse can do — say the quiet part loud. He rips into an illegal war in Iran that Congress refuses to vote on, a $40 trillion debt Republicans are quietly stacking on the national credit card, and a Trump family that has never once put on the uniform while profiting off defense contracts and the drone industry. He calls the country's slide unmistakable: when federal troops are doing daily law enforcement on American streets, that is the working definition of a third-world nation, and we are living in one. From there Paul and the Governor go wide. They break down the USS Lincoln stranded at sea for nine months, Pete Hegseth treating war like a football pep talk, the rise of a viable independent Senate bench — Bodnar, Bangs, Osborn, Achilles — and Jesse's standing offer to fill Amy Klobuchar's seat if she has the guts to make the ask. Jesse revisits the story of how MSNBC and General Electric paid him for three years to keep him off the air before the Iraq invasion, why money-as-free-speech is a lie, and why every war in his 75 years has been built on lies nobody was ever held accountable for. It is history, hot takes, and a hard shove toward the independent majority — delivered by the man who proved independents can win. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

The national debt just crossed $40 trillion, and it took only 95 days to add the last trillion, so Erick Erickson opens with the math nobody in Washington wants: our debt now exceeds our GDP, Social Security and Medicare are the engine, and neither party will touch it. He plays Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on […]

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Would you accept both higher taxes on yourself and reduced Social Security and Medicare benefits in order to reduce the $40 trillion national debt? Michael confronts a problem Americans overwhelmingly say matters—but one Washington has repeatedly failed to solve. With the national debt now above $40 trillion and interest costs mounting, Michael revisits Pete Peterson's warnings and the 2010 Simpson-Bowles Commission, which sought shared sacrifice through higher revenue and reduced spending. Today's poll puts that tradeoff directly to voters: Are Americans willing to personally pay more and receive less if that's what serious debt reduction requires?
