Welcome to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today’s episode, Tom sits down with Morgan Housel, bestselling author and expert on the psychology of money, for a candid and eye-opening discussion about the housing crisis and the far-reaching consequences it has on our society.

Together, they dig deep into how housing affordability is at the heart of issues like declining marriage rates, mental health struggles, fertility crises, and even substance abuse. You’ll hear Morgan lay out why buying a home is more than a financial milestone—it’s a fundamental step into adulthood, community, and stability.

Tom and Morgan also explore the cyclical nature of inequality throughout history, the role of inflation and debt in causing economic divides, and why current solutions to the housing shortage miss the mark. They challenge popular policies and talk about the real reasons why affordable homes are scarce—touching on everything from NIMBYism to regulatory capture—and what might need to change if we want to reverse trends that threaten generational prosperity.

Whether you’re worried about the future of the economy, curious about how political cycles influence policy, or just want practical advice for navigating today's financial uncertainty, this episode offers both sobering insights and a dose of hope. If you’re ready for a thorough, nuanced conversation that connects headlines to everyday life, keep listening—this one’s for you.
