Thinking about co-signing a loan for a friend or family member? Stop and watch this first.

In this episode, we reveal the harsh truth behind co-signing — why it's one of the most financially dangerous decisions you can make, no matter how much you love or trust someone. You'll learn what really happens when you co-sign a loan, hear true stories of financial ruin, and understand the long-term emotional and legal consequences.

Most people believe they're just “helping” someone get approved. But co-signing makes YOU fully responsible for the debt. If the borrower misses payments or defaults, your credit score tanks — and your relationship may not survive either.

This is a must-watch for parents, partners, and anyone pressured to “just sign here.” We’ll also give you smarter alternatives to support someone financially without tying your name to their loan.

• Learn the risks

• Protect your credit

• Set healthy financial boundaries

  
  

Don’t co-sign until you know the facts. Protect your peace, your finances, and your future.

Are you really on track to retire a millionaire — or is that just a dream? In this powerful episode, we break down why becoming a millionaire is more achievable than ever, even on a modest income. Inspired by Dave Ramsey’s bold challenge to Americans under 40, we dive into the real math behind retiring with over $1 million — or even $11.6 million — by age 65.

You’ll learn the compound growth strategies that work, even if you're starting small. We’ll walk through the difference between investing $100 vs $1,000/month, the best habits of real-life millionaires, and what separates those who build wealth from those who never quite get there.

Whether you’re 25 or 45, it’s not too late to start building your financial future. We’ll show you how to leverage time, automate your investing, and avoid common money mistakes that drain your wealth potential. Plus, you'll hear wisdom from dozens of self-made millionaires on how they did it — and how you can too.

This isn't hype. This is your millionaire blueprint.

Start small. Stay consistent. Build wealth for life.

Wondering how much house you can actually afford? Forget what the bank tells you. Lenders base your mortgage approval on outdated debt-to-income ratios that ignore your real life—and that’s exactly how people end up house-poor. In this video, we break down the most accurate and financially sustainable way to calculate home affordability using a smarter method: the 25% rule.

Instead of relying on gross income or bank pre-approvals, we show you how to determine your home buying budget based on take-home pay—the money that actually hits your bank account. Our rule of thumb: Your monthly mortgage payment, PMI, homeowner's insurance, and HOA fees should never exceed 25% of your net income. This ensures you still have room for retirement savings, emergencies, vacations, and everyday living—without sacrificing your future.

We’ll walk you through:

o Why traditional mortgage advice is flawed

o The hidden dangers of lender-approved debt ratios

o The full breakdown of housing costs (and which ones matter most)

o How to budget for maintenance, taxes, and unpredictable repairs

o A real-world case study to show how this plays out in actual numbers

o Whether you should buy at all—or if renting and investing might be the better move

Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, someone relocating, or trying to figure out if it’s finally time to stop renting, this episode gives you real numbers, honest insights, and zero sales fluff.

Ready to stop guessing and start planning? Check out this episode before you make a home-buying decision that locks up your income for decades.

Don’t become house-poor. Buy smart. Live free.
