Description:

You just graduated, landed a $52,000 job, and moved to Des Moines. You’ve got $35,000 in student loans… and suddenly, real life is very real.

This week, Pete, Kristen, and Dame break down what life actually looks like on that salary—from take-home pay to rent, groceries, debt, and everything in between. But instead of just talking about it, they turn it into a game: can each of them build a working monthly plan… without wrecking the future?

Along the way, they uncover the real tension every new grad faces: how do you balance survival, stability, and actually enjoying your life?

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I doing okay… or already behind?”—this episode is for you.
