Debt, Deficits, and Your Financial Future

In this episode of One for the Money, Jonny zooms out: yes, we’re living in the most prosperous era in human history—but America’s debt and spending habits are a growing reason for concern.

In this episode:

• How Washington turned the U.S. into a “transfer society” and why interest on the debt now rivals defense spending
• What trillion‑dollar deficits really mean (using a simple time analogy)
• Practical ways to protect yourself from future tax hikes: Roth strategies, HSAs, defined benefit plans, tax‑gain and tax‑loss harvesting
• Why voter choices—and new technologies like AI—could still shift us toward a more abundant, fiscally responsible future

Listen in to understand the stakes, then learn concrete steps you can take now to strengthen your own financial plan.
