Frank (29) and Jill (33) are parents of two young kids and are trapped in a vicious cycle of overspending and debt.

With fixed costs eating up 107% of their income and $25,000 in credit card debt, they’ve been repeatedly digging themselves into a hole—and scrambling to climb back out. Frank solves panic with credit card balance transfers. Jill struggles with emotional spending rooted in childhood. Their lack of communication and alignment has created a wedge in their marriage, making it hard to face their financial reality together.

Can Frank and Jill cut spending, break old habits, and build a stable financial future for their family—or will they let the weight of their debt pull them down?

With no savings, no investments, and deep-rooted money fears, they’re stuck in a cycle of mindless spending. Today, we’re digging back into their CSP—and the numbers are more shocking than they expected. Can they finally break old habits and build their Rich Life together?

Despite their best intentions, LaKiesha (38) and James (45) have fallen into a cycle of overspending—convincing themselves that wants are needs and that enjoying money now outweighs planning for the future. Their lack of financial foresight has left them without a safety net, and the weight of their debts has even led LaKiesha to file for bankruptcy.

Recently, they moved in together; but with that fresh start comes the baggage of their complicated financial pasts. Trust has been tested, and they’re being forced to confront their differences in financial values and upbringing. Can they break free from the habits that have kept them stuck?

Justin (40) and Deepika (32) are stuck in a frustrating financial loop: despite their high income, they feel like they’re living paycheck to paycheck. Deepika dreams of buying a house someday, but the couple can’t seem to identify where their money is going—or how to escape the cycle of credit card debt. Justin has a side hustle that he’s eager to grow, but he’s struggling to get the same level of commitment from his business partners. For years, they’ve been focused on survival, not dreaming about the future. Now, they’re realizing that their lack of a shared vision for their finances is keeping them from the life they want. Can Justin and Deepika kick their old habits, create a better strategy for managing their money, and finally start living their Rich Life?

What happens to the couples that I’ve spoken to months, even years ago? It’s time to find out in our first follow-up episode, featuring Nate and Serena from episodes 73 & 74 of the podcast.  

We're looking back on their original conversation, and then both Nate and Serena will be back next week to share where they’re at today, and their reactions from watching their original episode. They were incredibly honest, sometimes brutally honest, and also very sweet.
