Erik Garcia
I started this podcast because I was tired of watching people struggle with the "stuff about money" that should have been taught in high school. My core belief is that financial clarity, not complexity, is the key to minimizing worry and maximizing life, and that’s the driving mission of this show. We cut through the financial jargon to deliver the practical, week-to-week strategies that lead to immediate impact. I want every listener to walk away from an episode feeling two things: informed and ready to act on their personal finances.

My drive to host Stuff About Money stems from recognizing the huge financial literacy gap left by our school system. Money management is a foundational skill that everyone deserves, and our mission is to deliver those crucial lessons in a relatable, non-judgmental space. I approach education as an advocate, helping listeners overcome confusion so they can finally understand concepts like credit, debt, and basic investing. My goal is for you to walk away from every episode feeling empowered and confident in your ability to build a secure and stable future for your family.
