I lived in this place where it was obvious that you needed to save a certain amount of money

and you needed to have a nest egg and you needed to be safe with the whole concept of safety.

I didn't know or think that I would ever get that.

Welcome to the Ignited Recovery podcast. A new way forward for anyone looking for answers

but feeling left out.

If you've been searching for empowerment, triumph, and purpose, you've found them right here.

You won't hear the same solutions and you're not going to have any excuses to fall back on

because Ignited Recovery allows heroes to rise and become their best selves. I'm Dr. Adi Jaffe,

and I can't wait to be your guide on this journey. Are you ready to become an ignited hero? Money one way another for most people I know has played a huge role in their life for better or worse.

And, you know, I can definitely trace in my life a few different stages growing up being young in Israel, never having any care about money. We were by no means wealthy,

but my parents never talked about money. There always seemed to be enough. We went on trips all the

time. And so I literally, it was almost like I didn't think about it. I didn't have to wonder,

would I have enough or do we have enough?

It was not an issue. But when we moved to the States, we started, we were poor. I was 14.

My parents had moved us to Chicago. My dad had no medical license there. So he had to start

working like a graduate student, essentially.

So he was making, you know, $25, $30,000 a year.

My mom couldn't work.

None of us could work.

And it got very, really, really tight.

And money became a topic of conversation all the time, all the time.

Where were we going to live? Are we going to be able to afford it?
