About this episode

You don't need to be rich or a finance expert to start building wealth. NerdWallet's Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola are living proof. ⁠Kwame's episode on NerdWallet’s Smart Money Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3JsoelBqytmMXRmcA2qtK7?si=-gs3-9uMR2aZ16PNaKX3bg⁠ In this episode of Big Swings Only, Kwame Christian sits down with the co-hosts of NerdWallet's Smart Money Podcast. Neither of them started out in finance. They learned it on the job, then used what they learned to transform their own lives. Elizabeth went from $0 saved for retirement as a newly divorced single mom to real financial stability, and Sean went from writing about debt to becoming a Certified Financial Planner. We break down the money myths holding you back, the biggest lie on FinTok right now, how to automate your savings, and the money conversations most people avoid. Plus, a lightning round where Sean and Elizabeth go head-to-head on splitting the bill, pay transparency, and whether buy now, pay later is a tool or a trap.
