Show Notes

On this episode of Money and Change, we dive into a host of crucial financial and economic topics. We start with a look at the statistics behind Valentine's Day spending, the declining market for online dating apps, and the states seeing the fastest rising incomes. The conversation then shifts to serious financial concerns, including the ever-climbing U.S. National Debt, the latest on bank failures from the FDIC, and essential advice for achieving a "comfy retirement" by living beneath your means and building an emergency fund.

We also cover practical steps to protect yourself from identity theft, the energy crunch driven by data centers and AI, California's "inverse gold rush" due to wealth tax proposals, and a debate on Bitcoin versus precious metals like gold and silver as hedges against economic uncertainty. Plus, a shout-out to the Trim Radio Network team and a look at the full show lineup!
