At the end of the day, stacking Benjamins is all about living a better, happier life. But how can you achieve greater happiness while still on your stacking journey? That’s what we’re all about on today’s special, all-about-happiness episode. We’re joined by our special guest, host of the Best Interest Podcast, Jesse Cramer; a lady who knows plenty about the intersection of money and happiness, Paula Pant; and our own rainbow and unicorn ray of sunshine, OG!
In the second half of our discussion, sponsored by DepositAccounts.com, we dive into more of our favorite ways to improve your happiness.
Be sure to stick around for the ongoing year-long trivia competition as Doug brings a rainbow/magical wizard-related trivia question.
Deeper dives with curated links, topics, and discussions are in our newsletter, The 201, available at https://www.StackingBenjamins.com/201
