In this episode, we dive into research that reveals a hard truth: our emotions - stress, anxiety, and full-on avoidance - are driving far more of our financial decisions than we might admit. More than half of Americans report being stressed about money. And the generational breakdown? Even more surprising. Melissa and Tony unpack why this happens, how to break out of avoidance mode, and the small steps that can dramatically improve your sense of control and confidence around money.
We discuss:
1. Avoidance is more common than we think.
Nearly half of adults are actively avoiding opening account statements because facing the numbers feels overwhelming, which only worsens the problem.
2. Gen Z is the most stressed generation financially.
Between student loans, job market struggles, and cost-of-living increases, young adults report the highest levels of money stress, but this generational trend has always skewed young.
3. Conversations about money reduce fear.
Talking openly with trusted friends, partners, or family members helps break shame cycles, normalize stress, and often leads to shared solutions.
4. Small, consistent actions beat big, overwhelming ones.
Canceling one subscription, making one phone call, lowering one interest rate… these tiny moves create momentum and reduce anxiety far more than grand “fix everything” plans.
5. Multiple income streams = less stress.
The Drip Trickle Flow Flood mindset gives you stability and resilience. When one stream slows, another picks up, creating a sense of agency and reducing fear around “what ifs.”
