About this listen

The Rules of Money is a personal finance and financial systems podcast about the hidden laws that govern wealth, debt, markets, and financial success.

Money may feel chaotic—but it follows rules.

Some are written in policy and law. Some are built into human psychology. And some have shaped civilizations for thousands of years.

This podcast explores personal finance through history, the psychology of money, and the invisible rules behind the modern financial system so you can understand how money actually works—and why certain outcomes repeat no matter the era.

Each episode blends financial history, behavioral finance, neuroscience of decision-making, and clear explanations of banking, credit, investing, and markets to uncover:

  • The rules behind debt, interest, and compounding
  • How banks and governments control money
  • Why inflation and financial cycles never disappear
  • How fear, greed, and incentives shape markets
  • Why bubbles, crashes, and panics repeat
  • How wealth is really built over time
  • How to avoid the rules that quietly destroy fortunes

This isn’t a stock-tip podcast or a motivational finance show. It’s a story-driven guide to how money works, financial behavior, decision-making, and understanding the laws that quietly govern every financial life.

If you’re interested in personal finance, financial education, behavioral economics, psychology of money, how the financial system works, investing, wealth building, and finally learning the rules most people never see—this podcast is for you.

The Rules of Money Ignore them… and money will teach them to you the hard way.
