In this special episode, Travis is joined by his producer, Eric, for a fun break-down of the worst financial advice out there—reacting to viral clips and sorting the truly terrible from the merely misunderstood. They cover everything from “buy low, sell high” myths to the dangers of credit cards and the unpredictable path of moving to NYC for your dreams.

On this episode we talk about:

Listening (and laughing) through clips of supposed “awful” financial advice—from cash hacks to leveraging credit as a college student

Why “buy low, sell high” sounds easy, but almost no one—except 1% of day traders—actually wins playing that game over time

The power of environment and why moving to a “dream city” could either ignite your career or send you financially underwater

When using credit can make sense for disciplined business owners—but why most people should stick to cash

Travis’s ranking of the worst, most misleading, and situational money advice people keep hearing

Top 3 Takeaways

“Buy low, sell high” is not a strategy—it’s gambling, and 99% of would-be day traders lose money over time.

Your environment shapes your success; place yourself where the most opportunity exists, but only with a concrete, disciplined plan.

Cash keeps you disciplined, but leveraged credit can be a useful tool—if you treat it like investment capital and avoid consumer traps.
