Ever feel like life keeps throwing curveballs your way? The truth is, it doesn’t actually get easier—you just get better at hitting those pitches. This week, we’re tackling financial challenges head-on with financial behavior psychologist Dr. Brad Klontz and TikTok star Adrian Brambila. Together, they deliver some much-needed “virtual slaps” to help shift your financial mindset from poor to rich.

We’re diving into practical tips like automating your finances, avoiding debt traps, and embracing tough love to overcome obstacles. In our headline segment, we’re revealing the U.S. cities with the highest and lowest non-mortgage debt. More importantly, we’ll discuss how to manage your financial health no matter where you live. It’s all about learning to play the game the right way.

And, of course, stick around for Doug’s trivia, humor, and possibly a questionable bread recommendation.
