Focus On What You Can Control With Your Money

Rachel Cruze and Dr. John Delony take calls from listeners facing severe financial strain: a spouse secretly amassing over $1 million in gambling debt, a real estate investor crushed by $920,000 in leveraged debt, a couple offered a $400,000 inheritance advance from a parent, adult children trying to help destitute parents without family conflict, and a husband whose wife distrusts his financial management. The show emphasizes taking control of your own actions and emotions despite overwhelming external circumstances.
