How do homemade ice cream and financial education go together? You’re about to find out, because today we interview two of our fellow Stackers, Lisa and Tom, and one of them shares how they began making homemade ice cream for family and friends and teaching them finance basis! The other recently retired and gives us tips and advice that helped them make the exciting decision to retire.
During our headline segment, we talk about Wells Fargo and their recent decision to close all existing personal lines of credit. They’ve been in the news a lot over the years (mostly negative!) and we offer our thoughts. We’ll also hear from Will Rhind, CEO of GraniteShares, who shares all the details about what’s going on in the current precious metals market.
We’ll finish it out with our Haven Life line call from Nick and answer his questions about 529 contributions. And of course we’ll include some of Doug’s trivia!
Enjoy!
