Wants vs Needs

from I've Got A Problem · host Forrest Shaw

Forrest jumps on for a short solo episode to talk gambling, money, addiction, and the difference between what you want and what you actually need. Sparked by expensive dental work, he reflects on fantasy thinking, chasing jackpots, financial denial, and how addiction convinces you everything will be fixed "once this one thing works out." It's raw, funny, and honest — packed with real talk about gambling, money stress, aging, mental health, and learning to choose stability over ego. 🎧 If you've ever justified risky decisions, chased a financial fantasy, or struggled to tell the difference between wants and needs, this episode will hit close to home and still make you laugh. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly episodes on addiction, recovery, mental health, and comedy.
