Ever wonder how a petty thief can end up behind bars—but a bank can drain your wallet with sneaky fees and walk away with record profits?
This episode pulls back the curtain on a dangerous double standard: why street crime gets punished but financial crimes often get rewarded. If you’ve ever overdrafted by a few bucks and got slammed with a $35 fee, or felt powerless watching interest rates and penalties bury you, this one’s for you.
🎧 Inside this episode:
• Why shady banking practices are 100% legal (and how they became that way)
• How consumer protection laws fail to actually protect you
• What should happen vs. what really happens to financial predators
• What you can do today to avoid being a target
This is an AI-narrated presentation based on a post by Steve Rhode, The Get Out of Debt Guy, who’s helped good people with tough debt problems since 1994. It’s not a word-for-word reading—it’s a bold, entertaining breakdown of what really matters in your financial life.
💬 If you’re tired of feeling ripped off by companies that are “too big to care,” listen up. Then check out DamonDay.com if you want personal help sorting through your debt mess. Damon’s one of the best debt coaches out there—and Steve’s personally mentored him for years.
