This week, we’re breaking down the top stories and trends that will shape how we all earn, spend, and invest our money in 2025. And we’re not just looking at the year ahead, we're confronting the messy reality of now.
If you're feeling like the financial ground is shifting beneath your feet and like the old rules don't apply anymore, then this episode is for you. If you're tired of feeling like you're chasing trends instead of building a future, or if you're ready to take control of how you earn, spend, and invest in a world increasingly influenced by algorithms and AI, then you need to tune in.
We're not offering a magic bullet, but we are offering a real conversation with practical takeaways, designed for anyone who's ready to stop feeling overwhelmed and start making intentional choices with their money. This episode is for the curious, the proactive, and those who are determined to build financial well-being on their own terms.
We’re tackling:
- The 2024 Words of the Year including the meaning of "brain rot" and how it's affecting us all, mentally and financially
- The stock market's continued dance with AI, and what that really means
- Why getting clear about your risk tolerance is the most important financial decision you can make this year
- The rise of "buy now, pay later" and its impact on consumerism
- The fact that the "future of work" is here, and how to adapt
- The surge in cryptocurrency, and what that could mean for your investments
- Why 2025 is the perfect time to redefine luxury and spend with greater intention
- The power of your own humanity and why it will become increasingly valuable
