Most people think of wealth as money, power, or fame, but its roots mean something deeper: well-being and flourishing. In this episode, David and Mason explore how our culture shapes the way we chase wealth, whether through jobs we don’t love, lifestyles funded by debt, or endless hustle that never feels like enough. Along the way, we break down why being busy isn’t the same as being diligent and how our money mindsets can either drain us or set us free.

We also share personal stories (from moving to Cozumel to lessons learned from family) that highlight what real wealth looks like: clarity, freedom, and relationships that last. Whether you’re just starting your financial journey or rethinking what success means, this conversation is a reminder that true wealth isn’t a number in your bank account...it’s how you choose to live today.

In this episode, we dive into the world of student loans and how a decision made at 18 can shape your finances for decades. From community college strategies to loan forgiveness programs, paycheck garnishments, and repayment hacks, we break down what you need to know about minimizing student debt and staying in control.

We also talk about how you shouldn't rely on the government for loan forgiveness. Instead, we talk about how to plan wisely and take charge of your future.

In this second half of a two part discussion, David and Mason unpack the controversial new “Trump Accounts”, investment accounts created for every child born in the US in 2025 and beyond. While headlines focus on the $1,000 starter deposit, we dig deeper into what these accounts actually are, how they’re taxed, and whether they’re a smart financial move or just a flashy political stunt.

We break down the numbers, explore the inflationary impact on the stock market, and debate if this really helps families or just sets up future tax grabs. And we don't fully agree on everything. But we end with challenging the scarcity mindset and discuss what this could mean for the next generation’s financial future if they decide to actually use it.
