Think it’s impossible to make a million dollars working a blue-collar job? Millionaire and former ditch-digger Ken Rusk might have something to say about that. For decades, the college experience has been pushed as THE prioritized option for high school graduates, but with the student debt crisis becoming worse year after year should you look elsewhere? Today, Ken Rusk will show you how forgoing the college route doesn’t mean you’re giving up your chance of financial independence…and it just might enhance it.
It may only be Wednesday, but TGIF? Sofi is now offering an ETF that… wait for it… pays you every Friday. Sound familiar? You can check out our headlines from Monday’s show if you’re curious about what happened with two other investments promising some quick cash. Listen closely for just how much BIG money you’ll receive every week in this new fund. Cha-ching.
Plus, no Haven Life Line for today! Instead, Gertrude (from our Facebook Basement group) posed this question to our members: what’s YOUR side hustle? We got a bunch of feedback and we can’t cover everything, but we’ll share a few of our favorite responses.
Even with no voicemail, we’ll always save time for some of Doug’s trivia, who’s going classic finance with today’s question.
