In this special video episode, Sean and Elizabeth give each other a “budget rehab,” revealing their own budgets to help you fix yours. How can you feel more in control of your spending? How can you plan for irregular expenses like credit card annual fees or surprise bills? In this video episode, hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola give each other a “budget rehab” to reveal how they really manage their money — and how you can apply the same strategies to your own finances. But first, they're joined by NerdWallet senior writer Anna Helhoski to discuss new NerdWallet survey findings about money stress and what steps you can take to alleviate it. They discuss why money stress hits some groups harder than others and share practical tips for easing the pressure. Then, Sean and Elizabeth present a personal “Budget Rehab” segment where they analyze each other's real numbers while sitting eye to eye at NerdWallet HQ. Sean shares how he balances rental income, savings, and splurges, while Elizabeth maps her freelance income, high savings rate, and family priorities. Together, they highlight the pros and cons of tactics like setting up multiple savings buckets, trimming recurring costs, maxing out tax-advantaged accounts, and planning ahead for annual fees and surprise expenses.

A medical career is more than treating patients. For young doctors, the hospital or clinic becomes a place where knowledge, endurance, and compassion are tested. Behind the white coat, there's a challenge often overlooked: securing your financial future while building your career. The pressure to get ahead can make it easy to focus only on work, leaving finances unprotected. Debt, delayed savings, and unplanned expenses can cost more than money. True success comes from planning, budgeting, and protecting yourself. Saving early, investing wisely, and having proper insurance may not feel exciting, but they create a foundation that lasts. Setbacks like unexpected costs or career shifts remind us that preparation and patience matter. The real goal goes beyond mastering medicine today. It is about protecting your earning potential, cultivating discipline, and building a financial foundation strong enough to support dreams for decades. In medicine and life, victories that endure come from preparation, patience, and perspective. In this episode of Time Out with the Sports Doctor, Dr. Derrick Burgess shares his journey from medical school through residency and into his early attending years, highlighting the challenges of managing student loans, budgeting, and lifestyle creep. He explains the importance of disability insurance, automating finances, paying yourself first, and building multiple income streams. We also explore how financial literacy can reduce stress, provide peace of mind, and give physicians the freedom to make career and life choices without feeling trapped.  "If you lose part of your function, you can lose your ability to take care of patients. You have to protect your ability to do your job and your ability to take care of your family, take care of yourself." - Dr. Derrick Burgess Topics Covered: (00:01:14) Milestones in Dr. Burgess' career journey (00:03:09) Financial reality and challenges in career training (00:07:43) Budgeting & frugality (00:10:24) Disability insurance & peace of mind (00:12:42) Protect your income as your biggest asset (00:15:32) Advertisement: Struggling with your finances as a young physician?

(00:29:44) Advice to young physicians Key Takeaways:   "We think about getting that dream job and living happily ever after. However, for many people, that dream job can become a nightmare." "If you don't tell your money what to do, it will do it until you deal with the consequences later." "As a surgeon, every time I walk in the operating room, I have peace of mind knowing that my hands are protected, knowing that my whole body is protected." "We have a hard time making money without working, so to speak. We're so used to being present, exchanging our time for money that it almost seems foreign that I can invest this money and I wake up in the morning and the paycheck is there." "I think we're so highly trained and so highly specialized that many times we have a hard time seeing the world outside of what we do." "The better stewards you are with your money, you're able to introduce more of those interests."

In this episode, Craig McGrouther sits down with Bernard Pierson, co-founder of EHP Capital, who's been LP investing since 2012 and now focuses on value-add multifamily in Kansas City. Bernard reveals a counterintuitive insight from his 50+ LP investments: deals projecting 15-17% IRRs often outperformed those advertising 30%+ returns. He shares how Kansas City has consistently ranked in the top 5 U.S. markets for rent growth over the past 3 years while avoiding the supply issues plaguing gateway markets. Bernard breaks down their operational value-add approach, including discovering 200 unchecked voicemails on a property's leasing line that no one was monitoring. With family office investors from Latin America, EHP targets 17-18% IRRs, 5-7% cash-on-cash, and 2x equity multiples using conservative 60% LTV agency debt. His key lesson: the boring, down-the-fairway deals often deliver the best risk-adjusted returns.Learn more about Lone Star Capital at www.lscre.com

The Nerds debut a new Budget Rehab segment, dissecting a real family's budget to reveal strategies for saving more, investing smarter, and managing lifestyle costs. Plus: tariffs' role in rising auto insurance. Why are auto insurance premiums continuing to climb, and what do tariffs have to do with it? How can a real family adjust their budget to meet their financial goals? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola debut a new Budget Rehab segment, where they take a hands-on approach to evaluating a listener's finances. But first, they're joined by senior news writer Anna Helhoski and insurance Nerd Andrew Hurst to unpack the forces driving auto insurance costs higher in 2025. They discuss how tariffs on imported parts, inflation, and more expensive claims are putting pressure on premiums—and what drivers can do to find competitive rates in a shifting insurance market. Then Sean and Elizabeth are joined by Garrett, a listener who receives the first “Budget Rehab” on Smart Money. They walk through his family's finances step by step, from a stretched grocery bill and drained emergency fund to the challenges of saving while raising a young child. The conversation covers how Garrett and his wife can rebuild their financial cushion after buying a new car, prepare for the possibility of living on one income, and expand retirement savings through tools like IRAs and solo 401(k)s. Along the way, they highlight practical strategies for balancing wants and needs while still leaving room for joy in the family budget. Inspired to navigate your finances with an advisor?

Traditional banking and Wall Street investments aren't built for your benefit—they're built to enrich the banks and the government. Despite the promises tied to credit cards, CDs, money market accounts, 401(k)s, and IRAs, these so-called “financial benefits” often serve institutions far more than individuals.

Most people in their 20s either overspend or over-save, and both extremes can sabotage long-term financial success. In this episode, Kris Krohn reveals why the true path to wealth is through balanced, strategic investing. Learn how to build a strong financial foundation early, avoid common money traps, and start leveraging your income to create lasting wealth. Whether you're just starting out or playing catch-up, it's never too late to take control of your finances.

Learn how to dodge scams to protect your money, then understand how to compare robo vs. traditional investment risks. What should you do if your credit card is compromised in a scam? Are robo-advisors riskier than traditional brokerage accounts? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola discuss how to spot and respond to identity theft and dig into how robo-advisors stack up to traditional investing platforms to help you protect your financial life. They kick off Smart Money's new Scam Stories series by welcoming guest Scramble Hughes, a circus performer and scam victim, who shares a real-life experience with credit card fraud. They discuss tips and tricks on recognizing red flags like mass spam messages, acting fast by calling the number on your card (not clicking links), and filing credit freezes with all three credit bureaus.  Then, investing Nerd Bella Avila joins Sean and Elizabeth to discuss how robo-advisors compare to traditional brokerage accounts. They discuss risk levels in automated portfolios, SIPC insurance protections, and key factors to consider when choosing a platform like account minimums, platform stability, and user experience.
