How do you make money driving for ridesharing companies? Credit card hacking? Churning bank accounts? How do you help your family plan? What’s it like to meet with financial advisors? Today members of our community, Alan, Claudia, and Jon are kind enough to share their wisdom and experiences in all of these areas! Plus, we’ll also share an important headline about doing your homework before investing, another on helping your community, and more.
Of course, we’ll also throw out the Haven Life line to a caller with a great question about estate planning. That comes after Doug’s trivia and a few of your emails.
Enjoy!
