Personal finance teacher Mykail James (aka @theboujeebudgeter) joins Yanely to tackle the “in-between stage,” meaning those teens and young adults who are no longer kids, but not quite adults yet either. She talks about how to meet students where they are, with empathy, inclusive language and practical money lessons they can actually relate to.
Mykail James, MBA, co-author of “Personal Finance for Teens (for Dummies)”
Mykail shares why she focuses on teens and young adults who want to delay milestones such as college, marriage or home ownership, and how she can meet them with empathy, modular lessons and real-life scenarios.
She focuses on media literacy for money: “I don’t advocate ‘one app fits all’. I teach people to read the small print.” She also explains why changing jobs and banks can increase wages and reduce costs.
The episode focuses on mindset, small-step assembly, and a flexible toolkit (videos, exercises, and cheat sheets) that teachers can plug right into the classroom.
You’ll also hear how technology and AI shape decisions without replacing the guidance of a ‘trusted adult’.

Investing legend Charley Ellis joins Tim Ranzetta to explain why today’s hyper-professional markets make stock picking a losing game for most investors.
“It’s virtually impossible to beat the market,” he says.
He explains how indexing, low costs and discipline help ordinary investors avoid costly behavioral mistakes and leverage decades of compounding.
Ellis shares inside stories on Jack Bogle, the evolution of Vanguard, and why ETFs and automation have changed the game.
He offers a clear long-term scenario (think 60 years, not six months), including why many investors already have “bond-like” exposure through Social Security and home equity.
Ellis also weighs in on private equity/VC access, cryptocurrency and staying calm during market swings.
If you teach or learn about investing, this episode turns big ideas into practical lessons you can use tomorrow.
