The Stacking Benjamins Show

Let's Start a Money Revolution (SB1704)

Listen Later

Happy Independence Day, Stackers! While fireworks boom and flags wave, we're lighting a spark under your financial life. This episode isn’t about tea in harbors—it’s about burning down debt, revolting against lifestyle creep, and rallying your family for a better money future.

Joining Joe and Doug in the basement for this full-on financial insurrection:

  • Dorethia Kelly, TikTok titan and money coach, shares how she raised her financial flag as a single mom and became a force for smart money choices.
  • Jesse Cramer of the Personal Finance for Long-Term Investors podcast ditches tired spending habits and charts a course for independence through intentional investing and budgeting.
  • Steve Stewart, longtime SB editor and podcasting Yoda, reveals the pivotal Jeep moment that changed his financial course—and why he's racing OG to mortgage freedom.

    🎙️ In this basement-based revolution, you'll hear:

    • The financial “tea party” moments that woke our guests up to their money mess
    • How to declare independence from credit cards, lifestyle creep, and sneaky “Buy Now, Pay Later” traps
    • Tools, mindsets, and support systems that help you keep your financial revolution alive
    • Why tax planning is the financial Boston Tea Party nobody's talking about
    • The trivia showdown no revolutionary should miss: How many grains of silver made a dollar in 1792? (Spoiler: Jesse knows his colonial coinage.)

      • And in the aftershow? We ask the deep questions our Founding Fathers never saw coming, like: why is gambling debt dischargeable in bankruptcy, but student loans aren't?
