Have you checked your credit lately? How does credit even work? Why do I have a low credit score? Today, Len Penzo, OG, and our special guest Gerri Detweiler tackle credit, credit cards, and hwo to best make your credit score your friend.
Halfway through the show we’ll take a break from our discussion while Joe talks to Carter Malloy from AcreTrader. When you think investments, does farmland come to mind? On today’s fintech segment we’ll talk to farmland a viable, attractive investment option.
After Joe wraps things up with Carter, Doug will jump on the mic to deliver today’s trivia question to our roundtable crew. Before the first transcontinental railroad was completed a coast to coast trip could easily cost $1000 or more. But how much did the trip cost after the railroad connected the two coastlines? Keep your answer in mind… but no cheating! Doug will give us the answer after the roundtable has a chance to get in their answers.
After we declare a winner for our halftime gameshow, we’ll answer a Magnify Money call from Andrew. Andrew and his family will be moving soon from their paid off condo into a townhome. Should the family use some of their emergency fund to pay down more cash on their townhome, or wait until their condo sells and use that money towards their new home?

<40:18> Doug’s Trivia
- Following the completion of the first coast-to-coast railroad in 1869, the cost of an average trip across the US dropped to what amount?

- Andrew will soon be moving homes. Would it be better to pay more cash down on the principle right away (and lowering the amount of cash in the family’s emergency fund in the process), or wait until their paid off condo sells?
