The Pete the Planner® Show

Why it feels impossible to get ahead


Listen Later

Today, Pete, Kristen, and Dame take a deep dive into the best and worst economic periods in American history. Was the post-WWII boom really the golden age of prosperity, or is that just nostalgia talking? How does today’s economy stack up against past crises like the Great Depression, stagflation, and the Great Recession?


We break down real numbers—GDP growth, wages, home affordability, and even the cost of healthcare and college—to see when life was truly the best (and worst) for the average American. Plus, what lessons can we take from history to improve our financial future?


Strap in for a fascinating discussion full of surprises, economic insights, and just a little bit of Kristen and Dame keeping Pete in check.


Listen now—because knowing history might just help your wallet today.
