For Better and Worth is a personal finance and relationship podcast hosted by married couple Chris Young and Ericka Young, who believe the strongest partnerships are built on love, communication, and a solid financial foundation. Each episode, they bring their own money journey into honest conversation, covering everything from investing and net worth milestones to homeownership, budgeting, and raising financially savvy kids. Real topics. Real experience. Real talk between two people who are figuring it out together. Because a good life takes more than love. It takes purpose, partnership, and the power to make it all worth it.
