One money illusion, demolished, every week.
Animated explainers that take apart the money ideas almost everyone gets wrong. Two a week, no jargon, no hype, and an honest turn in both directions.
One money illusion per episode, taken apart properly. Why your bank does not have your money. Why a dividend makes you nothing. Why you pay for your house twice. Contrarian, sourced, and honest about what the evidence does not support.
