What are you doing with your cash that’s a complete “no-no”? Today we’ll dive into some things that you should NEVER do with your money. We’ll talk about banks, life insurance, debt products and also maybe advice that you find from online blogs. To help us, today we welcome the host of the Nurses on FIRE podcast, Naseema McElroy. She’ll be joined by award winning blogger Len Penzo (LenPenzo.com), and our very own OG (other guy).
July is a huge month for private scholarships. We’ll detail ALL of the things that students need to do right now to make college easier. We’ll share tips for existing college students, high school students, and even younger kids. Our doors are opening again (I know we already have many people on our wait list for this session….) for a short time, so check out StackingBenjamins.com/Scholarships.
On our MagnifyMoney segment, Matt’s spouse works for someone else and he’s convinced she’d be better off self employed. What does she need to know to make the move? How can he help her see beyond the riskiness of not having a consistent paycheck from another employer? Naseema, OG and Len will all dive into this question.
Of course, we’ll also celebrate National Corn Day with Doug’s amazing trivia challenge. Which of our panelists will be closest to the answer? You’ll have to listen to find out.
Enjoy!
