How to Make Your Money Multiply (Even If You Suck at Math)

Money doesn’t get complicated. People do.

In this episode, Matt and Luigi sit down with Scott Yamamura, a financial coach who’s ditching Wall Street jargon for straight-up clarity. If you’ve ever felt behind, confused, or just plain bored when it comes to your money, Scott’s got a wake-up call: you have more power than you think…but it’s fading by the decade.

He lays out his 3 financial epiphanies that simplify how money grows, why time matters more than talent, and what most people get dead wrong about saving and debt.

This isn’t a lecture. It’s your financial pep talk with a playbook.

🍸 What You’ll Learn:

• The “Power of 16” and why your money is strongest when you’re young

• Why most people wait too long to start saving… and what it costs them

• Debt snowball vs saving-first strategies (plus a spicy pushback from Matt)

• How to talk money with your kids without sounding like a boring parent

• Simple investing that works (S&P, index funds, target-date funds — yep, that easy)

• What Scott taught his son that every parent should steal

“We're not impostors on our own money. It’s our responsibility to know this stuff and to be engaged.”
