Adult children and parents who have chosen to go "no contact” share their stories and their reasons behind this difficult decision.

How can you reset your budget when debt and housing costs squeeze you? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola discuss holiday shopping and budgeting to help you spend smarter without regrets. First, Amanda Barroso joins Elizabeth to break down Black Friday 2025: why the season now stretches from October through Cyber Monday, how members-only promos (think Prime, store cards, Walmart+) and stacked discounts can boost real savings, and why Buy Now, Pay Later could hit your credit score if you miss payments as new scoring models roll out. They also talk about dynamic pricing, where to expect the deepest markdowns (tech, toys, beauty, small appliances), and low-lift ways to track prices so you don’t fall for “half deals.” Then, listener Shelby joins Sean and Elizabeth for a Budget Rehab using the 50/30/20 framework. They discuss right-sizing “needs” when housing is eating up a large chunk of take-home pay, ways to accelerate payoff on 20%+ APR cards (including a 0% balance transfer and when to combine multiple balances), and how to keep momentum while protecting essentials like a starter emergency fund and capturing a 401(k) match. They also cover fine-tuning wants so they take up less income, using side hustles to help with debt payoff, planning ahead for a 3-2-1 mortgage buydown reset and possible refinance, and simple tracking tactics that align spending with values.
