Money Conversations with KJAuthor: Kevin
KJ is a life-long entrepreneur who has made a lot of money, lost a lot of money, and found his way back again. If youre looking for a sterile how-to, then youve come to wrong place. KJ and his guests will walk you through real life situations, told by the people who lived them, and they are as messy as they are inspiring. Each episode will offer lessons learned, advice on how to replicate successes and avoid pitfalls, and a new perspective to power your financial literacy. Far from a one size fits all, this podcast can help you build a roadmap to your personal promised land (milk and honey for some, whiskey and steak for others), and remind you that youre not alone on the journey.

How A Teen Builder Learns The Rules Of Money
Episode 100
Thursday, 9 July, 2026
Send us Fan MailA 17-year-old just graduated high school, works in his family’s stone business, and spends his days walking luxury job sites that raise a dangerous question: how do I get there without blowing my future on the way up? We sit down with David Oganessian as he heads to UNLV for civil engineering (with finance and real estate in the mix) and talk through the real math behind ambitious goals, smart education choices, and the habits that decide whether “success” feels free or stressful.We dig into student loan debt and why picking an affordable path can be a wealth-building move all by itself. From there, we get into the stuff most households skip: financial literacy, the difference between wants and needs, and why Americans can earn good money and still live paycheck to paycheck. We also debate credit cards honestly. The plastic isn’t the problem, the behavior is. We break down good debt vs bad debt, consumer spending traps, and how to build credit responsibly without letting debt become an anchor.David admits he’s a spender and we use that as a real-life case study, from 22 pairs of shoes to the simple systems that can flip the script, like automatic saving splits and a 48-hour pause before impulse buys. I also share personal real estate lessons, including what I wish I’d done differently when buying my first home and the hard cost of taking on a major development right before the 2008 crash, plus how to separate market hype from real signals by doing your homework.If you care about money management, financial freedom, investing basics, and smart real estate decisions, subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a money reset, and leave a review so more people can find these Money Conversations.Don't forget to subscribe, like and share it with a friend or two!
