$124 trillion is moving from one generation to the next — and if you think that's a billionaire problem, think again.
In this solo episode, Ali Katz breaks down money dysmorphia: the distorted relationship with wealth that keeps people feeling broke no matter how much they make. She shares her own story of feeling broke while earning $165,000 a year as a lawyer — and again while running $2 million businesses — and explains why $1–$30 million in family wealth counts as rich, even when it doesn't feel that way.
Ali also gets practical, walking through why most people never take real ownership of their finances (like her mother asking a male teacher to invest her retirement account, or Ali herself blindly picking a 401(k) option at 28), and why $70 billion currently sits unclaimed in state coffers because families never find out what their loved ones had.
