Tax Hacks, Debt Confessions and an Inflation Warning From Money YouTube
Four videos worth your time this week from the personal-finance channels we follow, with a note on what each one is selling.
Taxes first. On The Money Guy Show, tax attorney and CPA Jasmine DiLucci joins hosts Brian Preston and Bo Hanson to go through six viral tax hacks, including writing off your car, home office or family vacation, and explains which ones hold up. It's a good companion to our guide on whether to itemize in 2026; when in doubt, IRS rules and a tax professional beat a social media clip.
In a second Money Guy clip, the hosts look at why buying a first home feels so hard, citing a median first-time buyer age of 40, along with higher prices and mortgage rates; Freddie Mac's 30-year average was 7.24 percent this week. On The Ramsey Show, Dave Ramsey reacts to 21 minutes of listeners' debt confessions, and the video's description promotes Ramsey's own EveryDollar budgeting app.
Graham Stephan argues that a second wave of inflation is coming. That is his forecast, not a settled fact; the latest official figure, from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, put consumer prices 3.7 percent higher in September than a year earlier. The video is sponsored by the money app Albert, which Stephan discloses.
Screen & reading features videos we think readers will find useful. They play from each creator's own channel, and they are the creators' views and general education, not personal financial advice; Finance Unc doesn't fact-check every claim in them. We're not paid to feature them, and we note when a video is sponsored or promotes the creator's own products.
