Money’s Tight, Emotions Are High — But We’re Building Anyway.

From 1030pm cleaning sprees to selling 100 dozen cookies just to pay the bills — welcome to real life.
In this raw and unfiltered episode, Devin opens up about the chaos of building a container home, budgeting in a broken economy, and how his wife’s late-night cleaning sessions reveal deeper truths about stress, marriage, and unmet expectations.

We dive into:

  • Why Mayor Mendenhall’s new flag design is stirring controversy

  • Why modern budgeting feels like survival

  • The reality of supporting a partner (even when it’s hard)

  • How side hustles — including cookie madness — are keeping us afloat

  • Why we’re ditching the grid and going full self-reliance

If you've ever felt emotionally maxed out, financially stretched, or just overwhelmed by trying to do the right thing, this episode is for you.
