    149. Voting With Your Dollars - Practical Ways to Align Your Spending With Your Values

    In a world that feels increasingly polarized, we explore how to use your capital as a tool for change without losing your mind or your net worth in the process. We dive into the practicalities of "voting with your dollars," acknowledging that while consumer spending drives nearly 70% of the U.S. GDP, achieving total moral purity in a global economy is nearly impossible. We share our personal guardrails for boycotting, the "one more place" rule, and why we prioritize progress over perfection when it comes to where we bank, shop, and invest. Whether you are navigating the nuances of ESG funds or just trying to find a local alternative for household essentials, we help you align your outflows with your values while keeping your financial goals on track.

    148. 2025 Expense Review Part 2 - The real cost of food, fitness, phones, and more!

    We are continuing our annual expense review tradition by digging even deeper into our 2025 spending. In part two, we move beyond the totals to examine the specific categories that often make or break a budget—from rising insurance premiums to the actual cost of our cell phone plans. We also explore how we’re investing intentionally in our health and fitness to ensure our wealth includes wellness. Plus, we’re serving up the delicious details of what we ate and drank in 2025, comparing our grocery hauls and restaurant tabs—including exactly how much sushi and snacks it takes to fuel our growing kids.

    Analyzing where every dollar goes provides the ultimate leverage for financial independence, and in this annual tradition, we’re pulling back the curtain on our 2025 household spending. From finished decks and water filters to personal trainers and pilates, we break down the total expenses for all four co-host households. We explore how intentionality often trumps deprivation, whether that means slashing Amazon spending by 90% or investing in quality athletic gear. Join us for an honest look at what it actually costs to live life on your own terms in today's economy—and find out who spent the lowest and highest this year (it might not be who you’d guess!).

    146. The Boring Middle - Stop Waiting for Retirement to Start Living

    The initial thrill of optimizing your budget and automating your investments eventually fades into a long, quiet stretch known as the "Boring Middle." We dive into why this phase is actually the ultimate sign that you are doing everything right, even when the lack of dopamine makes you want to tinker with your portfolio. By shifting your focus from the spreadsheets to life design, you can stop waiting for a future "number" and start living the life you want today. We explore the math of compounding interest and share strategies to help you stay the course while your money finally starts doing more work than your labor.

    145. Generational Wealth: Give While You Live or Leave a Lump Sum?

    We tackle the complex and often controversial topic of generational wealth, shifting the focus from simply leaving an inheritance to actively preparing the next generation to handle it. Whether you are building wealth from scratch or navigating the nuances of being a "trust fund kid," we explore how to foster open communication, set healthy boundaries, and ensure your financial legacy is a gift of opportunity rather than a burden of entitlement. Along the way, we revisit core concepts from Die With Zero as we reconsider our previous views and challenge the stigmas surrounding generational wealth.

    144. Financial goals that don’t suck - 7 traps to avoid

    We often fall into the trap of setting financial goals that are destined to fail, so we’re exploring why some goal-setting attempts fail and how to pivot away from the common mistakes that turn well-intentioned plans into forgotten wishes. By shifting our focus, we can find the traction needed to make real progress. We dive into the psychology of "fresh starts," the power of accepting mediocrity to overcome perfectionism, and why your most successful financial year might actually involve a plan to spend more on the things you love.

    142. The One Choice that can save you millions

    Forget the complex spreadsheets and the endless debate over index funds; there is a single, overlooked choice that quietly dictates whether you will save thousands or millions over the course of your life. This invisible force shapes your spending habits, your stress levels, and your perception of "enough" without you ever realizing it. While most people focus on the tactical side of money, we explore the environmental factors that either trap you in a cycle of scarcity or propel you toward true abundance. We dive into why your current surroundings might be the biggest hurdle to your financial independence and how one strategic shift can change your trajectory forever.
