Shownotes

We’ve become far more comfortable with debt than we used to be.

In this episode of The Free Lunch Podcast, Rob Carrick, one of Canada’s most trusted personal finance journalists and longtime columnist at The Globe and Mail joins Greg and Colin to talk about how consumer culture has reshaped our relationship with money.

They discuss frictionless spending, social media pressure, and why debt often builds quietly, without a clear moment where things go wrong.
