Episode 58

Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous

Affinity Federal Credit Union presents the Wellbeing and Your Wallet podcast! In this episode, hosts Grant Gallagher and Shawn Lubitz take a closer look at some of the biggest financial decisions made by celebrities and what everyday people can learn from them. From Mike Tyson’s financial missteps to Oprah’s smart business moves, the conversation focuses on turning high-profile money choices into practical advice.

Key discussion topics include avoiding lifestyle creep, recognizing risky financial moves, building multiple income streams, and making confident, intentional choices with your money.

Following the main discussion, the team shares their response to a question from the member mailbag. Grant pulls the following submission: I took a break from work to care for my aging parents, and now I’m trying to re-enter the workforce. My savings are running low, and it feels like I’ve fallen behind financially and professionally. Where do I even begin when I feel like I’m starting over in every way?

Finally, Grant concludes by highlighting Affinity’s High-Yield Checking account, which combines excellent earning potential with automatic savings growth.
