Personal Finance with Fexingo: Budgeting, Saving, and Money Management for Everyday People

Lucas and Luna sit down at the kitchen table for a no-nonsense conversation about personal finance for people who don't work on Wall Street. Each episode picks one money topic — from budgeting apps to credit card rewards to emergency funds — and walks through the numbers, the trade-offs, and the common mistakes. Lucas brings the data: median savings rates, average credit card debt, the real cost of a latte. Luna pushes back with real-life examples: what happens when a side hustle eats your sleep, or when a 'good deal' on a car loan turns bad. This is not about get-rich-quick schemes or secret hacks. It is about the slow, boring, effective work of managing your own money — and why that work matters more than any investment tip. Every episode ends with a specific question: Would you rather have an extra $200 a month or a paid-off car? How do you decide when to use a debit card vs. a credit card? Can you actually save for retirement and still afford to travel? By the end, you will not have a perfect plan, but you will know what questions to ask yourself.
