Traditional financial advice isn't always wrong—but some money rules simply haven't kept up with today's economy. Brian and Bo break down 5 pieces of financial wisdom that may be expired, including whether you really need a college degree, if 10% savings is enough for retirement, why buying used cars isn't always the best move, when budgeting every dollar stops making sense, and whether homeownership is still the path to building wealth. If you're focused on financial independence, investing, retirement planning, wealth building, and making smarter money decisions in 2026, this episode is packed with data-driven insights to help you avoid costly mistakes and build a stronger financial future.
