102 - The 2 Most Important Financial Moves to Survive 2025

In this episode, we get brutally real about two financial moves you NEED to have locked down right now: budgeting and emergency funds. Markets are shaky, inflation isn’t cooling, consumer sentiment is crashing — and the people who survive this chaos won't be the lucky ones; they’ll be the prepared ones.

We break down how to build a real budget that’s customized to YOU (none of that cookie-cutter garbage) — and why precision matters if you want to avoid panic spending when things get tight.

Budget like your future depends on it — because it does.

Then we get into emergency funds: why they aren’t just savings cushions — they’re silent wealth builders when used right. (Think 7% yields or more, not a dusty savings account.)

Your emergency fund should be making you money even when everything else is burning.

If you’ve ever wondered how to stay invested while others are panic-selling, this is the game plan.

You don’t need to be fearless — you need to be funded.

We’ll also cover:

Why selling investments during a downturn is a guaranteed way to lose
How to future-proof your finances for the recession most “experts” now admit is coming
Where to actually stash your emergency fund for maximum safety and growth

This episode isn’t about doom and gloom — it’s about navigating the storm without getting swept out to sea.
