Dominique Brown from Your Finances Simplified joins Paula Pant (Afford Anything) and Len Penzo (Len Penzo dot Com) on this week’s roundtable segment to discuss credit scores. Apparently, mistakes are now easier to fix than ever. But does that really matter? The team will….ahem….disagree on the show.
They also tackle college (again). Contrary to all of the news lately that college may not be worth it for many people, the New York Times just ran a report showing that college definitely IS worth the cost….student loans and all. Once again the team….ahem…..disagrees.
Joe & OG review some important headlines, including five banks that failed the Fed’s latest stress test. You’re heard of all of these banks. What does it mean for your banking? We’ll tackle that. Also, we remark on a headline about retirees who fire their advisor and go DIY with retirement. Profitable? We’ll share thoughts.
Doug has trivia, we review the film the Million Dollar Arm, and much more.

Million Dollar Arm
I totally agree that college really cost a lot, especiallymedical courses. Here in our country, a student loan is not very popular, so the students whose parents are not financially stable, in order for them to take a college course they either need to take a student scholarship or working student.
I think both of those options are better than going into debt! As Marian Salzman, who was just on our podcast, discussed, it’s so much better to have some life experience BEFORE you go to college. To get both at the same time seems to be nearly the perfect world.
