Episode Details

I sat down with Dr. Wally T. Luckeydoo, a high school personal finance teacher in Smyrna, Tennessee, for a conversation that hit way closer to home than I expected. 

We got into why money is still one of the most taboo topics in American households, even though it touches literally every part of our lives. 

Wally shared his own story of ending up trapped in student loan debt because no one ever told him trade school was an option. We talked about why kids form money habits way earlier than we realize, and why compound interest might be the single most powerful lesson no one teaches before graduation. 

What's one money mistake you made young that you wish someone had warned you about?
