914. How the algorithm keeps you living paycheck to paycheck

Anthony O’Neal, author of Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck, joins us for a conversation about money, mindset, and building a life beyond survival mode. He opens up about the moment he realized looking wealthy wasn’t the same as actually being wealthy—and how that realization changed everything.

We get into what it really means to build wealth, from creating a vision for your money to developing the habits that will actually get you there. Anthony shares his approach to debt, saving, investing, generosity, and preparing for a future where the way we work and make money may look very different.

We also go deep on relationships, family, and the money stories we inherit. Anthony shares why couples need a shared financial vision, why kids need to be part of honest money conversations, and how changing your relationship with money can become part of your personal growth + legacy.
