Is the American Dream really about freedom—or just another way to keep us trapped in debt? In this episode of Money Reset, we’re exposing the hard truths about consumerism in America and how the pressure to “keep up” is sabotaging our financial future.

We'll break down:
 💰 How we’re conditioned from a young age to compare and spend.
 📉 Why consumer debt is at an all-time high—and who benefits from it.
 🛍️ The marketing tricks designed to keep us buying, even when we don’t need to.
 🚨 The long-term consequences of prioritizing lifestyle over savings.
 💡 How to break free and start building real wealth on a budget.

This Week’s Challenge: Take a hard look at your spending habits. Track every dollar you spend for a week, then go home and make an itemized spreadsheet. Identify where you can cut back and redirect that money toward savings or debt payoff.
