We lock our doors, arm our homes, and teach self-defense—but when it comes to money, most Americans are wide open to attack. In this passionate segment, Chris unloads on the failure of our schools to teach basic financial literacy and shares why personal responsibility is the key to financial freedom. From credit card traps to private equity scams, from crypto hype to Ponzi schemes—he's seen it all, and he's been warning the public for decades.
This is about more than money. It’s about protecting yourself and your future from the con artists who use fear and greed to exploit good intentions. Don’t fall for it. Don’t gamble your retirement chasing shortcuts. Learn how to build lasting wealth the right way—and why hard work, patience, and knowledge will always beat hype.
