If you've ever felt like your house is running your life instead of the other way around, you're not alone. For over 30 years Angie Hicks–co-founder of Angi–has been hearing about homeowners' hopes and headaches. The takeaway? There's a lot nobody tells you about owning a home. Angie sits down with leading experts, industry insiders, and real homeowners to tackle the questions that keep you up at night. Should you renovate or move? What's actually worth the investment? How do you prioritize when you can't do it all? This isn't about fixing a leaky faucet or chasing Pinterest perfection. It's about making smarter choices, learning from people who've been there, and feeling empowered to make the decision that's right for you, even if it's not the one everyone says you should make. For the generation that grew up trusting Angie, she's still the voice you want in your corner when you need someone who gets it. Whether you're figuring out your first major project or chipping away at that neverending to-do list, this is the show that helps you own your home—instead of letting it own you.

Caleb Silver, editor-in-chief of Investopedia, says you need to approach it like a CFO. In this episode, Angie and Caleb break down what it actually means to treat your home as a financial asset — not just emotionally, but on a real dollars-and-cents level — and what separates homeowners who build wealth from the ones who end up house poor. Here's what we discuss with Caleb: • Why your home is the foundation of your family's wealth — and how most people mismanage it • The CFO mindset: what it means to run your household like a business • How to figure out what it actually costs to be you in your home, all in • The 30% rule — and what happens when you blow past it • Where to put your money first, and what gets people spending in the wrong order • What home equity actually is and how to use it as a financial tool • The real return on residential real estate — and how it compares to other investments • Why the American Dream now has a price tag, and what Investopedia found when they added it up • What most homeowners understand too late --------- Ready to find the right contractor for your next project?
