Hosts Joe Saul-Sehy (former 16-year financial advisor, ex-WXYZ-TV “Money Man”) and Josh “OG” Bannerman, CFP (Certified Financial Planner, Bannerman Wealth) sit around the card table in Joe’s mom’s half-finished basement in Texarkana and talk money with the smartest guests in personal finance, investing, and behavioral economics. As Fast Company wrote, the show “strikes a great balance of fun and functional.” Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: expert guests, real headlines, listener questions, and Doug’s trivia. Topics include investing, retirement planning, budgeting, real estate, behavioral finance, taxes, and financial independence — for anyone who wants to be smarter about money without being talked down to.

Joe, Paula Pant, Jesse Cramer, and Anthony Weaver from About That Wallet work through eight real signs that your financial life is on track -- covering stability, behavior, and mindset -- and spend just as much time on why we're all so bad at recognizing the wins we've already had. What You'll Walk Away With Why a $1,000 emergency fund puts you in the top 40% of Americans -- and what Jesse's registered nurse versus Uzbek architecture professor framework tells you about how big yours actually needs to be The debt-to-income ratio question nobody asks: would you rather have a 10% DTI and zero savings, or $1 million invested and a 45% DTI? Paula and Anthony work out their actual answers live Why someone making $250,000 and living paycheck to paycheck is less financially trustworthy than someone making $60,000 with a two-month buffer -- and what that reveals about the real game Anthony's dream walk framework: the questions he asks clients to make sure their day-to-day financial habits are actually pointed toward what they say they want Why the trend matters more than the number -- and the one thing Jesse tracks monthly that most people miss when they're focused only on net worth The peace of mind problem Paula names that most personal finance conversations skip entirely: there is very little correlation between the numbers in your accounts and your actual anxiety level Why Jesse thinks prioritizing stress reduction over optimization might actually produce better long-term outcomes than squeezing every percentage point The Instagram tell that almost n…","meta_description":"Thanks to Surfshark for sponsoring the show.
