Ex-Banker Schools Gen Z On Rigged Money Game—Plot Twist: Money’s Fake

David McWilliams, former central banker and treasure trove of bad news, delivered the 2025 roast of a lifetime on Adam Metwally’s podcast: Gen Z and millennials got handed a house-sized disappointment after Boomers and Gen X committed 'a societal crime' by blowing up affordable housing. Spoiler: You can beat the rigged system if you obsess over income, interest rates, and discipline—because money is imaginary. Yes, the $100 bill sporting Ben Franklin is just a pretend badge at this clown show. McWilliams also pointed out October’s 4-4.25% fed funds rate making mortgages, credit cards, and loans more thrillingly expensive, while Donald Trump loudly clashed with the Fed trying to micromanage interest rates. Oh, and remember: sometimes your wealth success was just dumb luck, and your fails probably your own folly. Moral: focus deep, avoid talking stocks with your in-laws, and maybe you'll chill out smartly in this financial jungle.

Turns out the secret to beating a rigged economy is treating fake money like Monopoly cash and praying you don’t get crushed by interest rates designed by the universe’s biggest trolls.

If you thought your parents leaving you a nightmare economy was bad, wait till you learn that money isn’t even real and your best tools are luck, obsession with income, and pretending you understand interest rates.
