In this episode of Money Moves, Matty and Ryan break down a packed week of market-moving headlines—starting with record-shattering Black Friday sales, a bold political push to abolish income tax, and new data showing foreclosures beginning to rise across the country.

They unpack the implications of $11.8 billion in online Black Friday spending, surging Buy Now Pay Later adoption, and what consumer behavior tells us about the strength—or vulnerability—of the American household heading into 2026.

The conversation then pivots to Trump’s increasingly vocal proposal to eliminate income tax and what that could actually look like when you follow the money. Ryan outlines where revenue would realistically come from, the role tariffs might play, and why high-income earners are unlikely to escape the taxman entirely.

Finally, they dive into the early warning signs in real estate: a 20% surge in foreclosures, rising household debt, declining home values in more than half the country, and why builders and contractors are suddenly slowing down after three years of nonstop demand.

From macro data to mindset, policy to portfolio strategy, this episode gives you a blunt, unfiltered look at what’s really happening—and how to position yourself for what comes next.

In this Thanksgiving-week episode of Money Moves, Matty and Ryan break down the short trading week, early retail numbers, and the critical role the holiday consumer will play in determining whether the market surges to new all-time highs—or whether we’ve already topped out.

They dive into the early indicators: in-store bodies, doorbuster traffic, Black Friday predictions, technical market strength, and the shifting probability of a December rate cut.

In this week’s episode of Money Moves, Matty A. and Ryan Breedwell dives into one of the most critical and thought-provoking discussions of the year — how long-term debt, political ideology, and government policy are reshaping the American economy.

With the government reopening and the markets reacting to a flood of new data, Matty breaks down the growing debate around 50-year mortgages, the rise of socialist-leaning policies, and what both mean for the future of capitalism, entrepreneurship, and personal wealth.

He explores how expanding debt horizons could trap future generations, why entitlement culture threatens productivity, and how investors can navigate this shifting landscape of policy-driven markets. Beyond economics, Matty also reflects on mindset — how to stay empowered, self-reliant, and financially free in an era where dependency is being normalized.

Episode Highlights:

• [00:01:00] The government reopens — what it means for markets and investor sentiment
• [00:04:30] 50-year mortgages — financial innovation or long-term debt trap?

• [00:14:30] Capitalism vs. dependency — how culture shapes financial freedom

• [00:23:10] How investors can protect themselves from policy-driven volatility
• [00:28:00] The long-term mindset — taking ownership of your wealth journey

Episode Takeaways:

• 50-year mortgages may offer affordability today but risk trapping future generations in permanent debt.
• Socialist-style policies create short-term relief but erode productivity, innovation, and long-term growth.
• Markets respond to stability, not politics — investors who stay long-term focused outperform the emotional majority.
• Financial independence is a mindset. You can’t rely on the government to make you wealthy — only discipline, ownership, and action can.

In this powerful episode, Matty A. delves into the profound influence relationships have on wealth creation and preservation. Whether it’s a partner, mentor, friend, or even yourself, the right connections can elevate your success — while the wrong ones can erode it. You'll discover how to identify, cultivate, and safeguard the relationships that support long-term wealth, and how to avoid those that can derail it.

Core Relationship Insights

1. Mentors & Advisors

• Genuine mentors provide guidance, perspective, and accountability.
• Financial professionals rooted in trust can help you navigate decisions with clarity and conviction.

2. Partner or Spousal Relationships

• Shared values, transparency, and open communication are essential for building financial unity.
• Misalignment in spending habits, goals, or money attitudes can become a major source of conflict and sabotage wealth-building.

3. Peer Influence & Networks

• Surrounding yourself with financially savvy people can significantly improve your habits, mindset, and access to opportunity.
• High-net-worth friends don’t just offer inspiration — they can open doors to capital, deals, and better decision-making frameworks.

4. Your Relationship with Yourself

• Self-awareness, discipline, and mindset form the bedrock of wealth creation.
• Believing in your ability, investing consistently in your education, and resisting impulsive decisions are critical for long-term success.

When Relationships Become Wealth Destroyers

• Financial Conflicts in Partnerships: Money disagreements are among the most enduring and emotional. Without mutual respect and clear boundaries, they can break relationships and erode financial stability.
• Sudden Wealth Syndrome: Unexpected gains — from windfalls or abrupt success — can isolate you, trigger distrust, and lead to self-sabotaging behaviors if you're not grounded and supported.
• Divorces, Legal Battles & Misaligned Inherited Wealth: Emotional rifts and unplanned distributions can fracture wealth meant to last generations.

Actionable Takeaways

• Audit Your Inner Circle: Are your closest relationships helping or hindering your wealth journey? Identify supportive, aligned individuals and invest in deepening those bonds.
• Set Clear Agreements: Whether with a partner, advisor, or investor, ensure expectations, roles, and communication norms are defined and revisited regularly.
• Strengthen Your Mindset Foundation: Build resilience through self-education, goal-setting, and consistent financial habits.

• Create a Safety Net: Especially important when dealing with sudden wealth or high-stakes outcomes — ensure emotional, legal, and advisory structures are in place to protect lasting success.

Final Thought

Wealth isn’t just built with capital — it's created and preserved through key human connections. Let this episode serve as your guide to aligning your inner and outer worlds for lasting financial success.

1. Episode Overview

Matty A. brings clarity to the big investment debate of our time: Crypto, Artificial Intelligence (AI), or Real Estate. In this episode, he breaks down the strengths and risks of each investment avenue—and reveals how they can complement one another in a well-rounded portfolio.

2. Big Ideas Covered

Crypto

• Crypto continues to gain traction with institutional interest and regulatory progress paving the way for innovation like stablecoins, asset tokenization, and enhanced DeFi interfaces.
• These developments could make digital assets more accessible and practical—but volatility and regulatory uncertainty remain ongoing concerns.

AI Investments

• AI investment remains a bright spot thanks to surging demand for infrastructure like data centers, as well as gains from specialized “stealth” technology providers.
• Still, analysts caution that such growth may be part of a larger tech bubble. Success depends on strategic execution, staying ahead of technological disruption, and navigating market cycles.

Real Estate (Tech-Enhanced)

• REITs and tech-integrated real estate (via AI, smart homes, and tokenization) are showing resilience—especially in diversified global markets and evolving offline-to-online platforms.
• While real estate offers stability and generational value, it's slower to scale and less liquid—though tokenization may change the game in the future.

3. Investment Snapshot

Crypto

• Offers high growth potential and rapid innovation.
• Easily accessible—can invest with small amounts.
• Highly volatile and exposed to regulatory uncertainties.
• Often speculative, requiring strong conviction and risk tolerance.

AI

• Driven by significant enterprise demand and infrastructure expansion.
• Supports a broader range of industries—beyond crypto hype.
• Risks include overinvestment and rapid obsolescence.
• Offers structured growth, especially through AI applications and platforms.

Real Estate (Tech-Enhanced)

• Backed by tangible assets with income-generating potential.
• Becoming more efficient and liquid thanks to PropTech, AI tools, and tokenization.
• Traditionally less liquid with slower cycles—though technology is bridging the gap.
• Offers long-term stability and passive income.

4. Episode Takeaways

• Diversification is still your friend. Each asset class has distinct risk-return profiles—crypto offers high volatility upside, AI brings innovation and industry momentum, while real estate delivers stability and passive yield.
• Hybrid opportunities are emerging. AI-powered real estate platforms and tokenized CRE blends the best of multiple worlds—liquidity with structure, innovation with asset backing.
• Know your investor profile. Aggressive builders might lean more into crypto and AI, while income-focused or conservative investors could find real estate—or tech-enhanced real estate—more suitable.

5. Suggested Next Steps

• Assess your risk appetite and time horizon to guide how you allocate across these sectors.
• Start small and explore hybrid investment channels, like tokenized real estate or AI-backed platforms.
• Track convergence trends—where blockchain intersects with real estate or AI tools power DeFi—as they often reveal outsized opportunities.

Bottom Line: There's no single winner crowned in this episode. Instead, success may lie in combining these tools within a strategic, diversified portfolio—and leaning into the tech bridge between them.
