In this episode of Disrupt Your Money, we pull back the curtain on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA)—the shiny new “tax relief” law that’s being sold as a gift to families and small business owners… while quietly shoveling billions toward corporations and high-income households. Spoiler: the marketing doesn’t match the math.

Meg walks through what actually changed in OBBA. From the SALT cap drama to the child tax credit tweak, she shows you who really wins and who’s getting crumbs.

Instead of just doom-scrolling headlines, you’ll learn how to make this law work for you where it can, understand where it falls short, and use that clarity as fuel—not shame.
