ABOUT
Master your money in 2026! We break down Trump’s 10% credit card cap, the 50-year
mortgage trap, and how to use a 529 plan to Roth IRA rollover to build generational wealth tax-
free.
In this episode of Red, White and Green, Ted Jenkin and Southside Steve Rickman go beyond
the headlines to explain how money actually works in today’s economy. We analyze the real-
world impact of the new credit card interest rate caps and why the “affordability” of a 50-year
mortgage is actually a massive debt trap. You’ll also learn the “They Didn’t Teach You This”
secrets of college savings and how to roll unused 529 funds into a Roth IRA.
Later, we enter The Green Room with Chris Lalomia of The Trusted Toolbox to discuss the
gritty side of entrepreneurship and building a multi-million dollar business. Finally, don’t miss our
Money Hacks segment for a Chick-fil-A trick that saves your family money every single visit.
