Summary

In this week’s episode of Money Moves, Matty A and Ryan Breedwell dive deep into the current state of the markets—from tech stock surges to evolving investor psychology, and the challenges surrounding real estate and the so-called American Dream.

They unpack key insights around earnings season, rising tariff revenue, rate cut expectations, and what institutional money is really betting on in the crypto space. Plus, they share personal investing wins and “wish-I-would-have” moments, offering a candid look into the lessons learned from both hits and misses in high-stakes investing.

The conversation also turns cultural—breaking down how homeownership and family formation have dramatically shifted for younger generations, and why redefining success in today’s economy is more relevant than ever.
