Financial anxiety is on the rise — and the data proves it. In this episode of the Monday Money Tip Podcast, Joe and Megan break down the latest numbers from the FINRA Financial Capability Study, revealing what's really happening with Americans' money habits.

They unpack the findings behind:

📊 How many people are overdrafting their accounts again (and why)

🏦 The surprising truth about trust in banks

💳 Why fewer people are paying off credit cards in full

🏠 How many homeowners actually own their homes outright

📱 The surge in mobile banking across every income level

💡 And the shocking decline in basic financial literacy over time
