This week we're joined by special guest host Chris Browning. Chris is the host of Popcorn Finance, a podcast where he discusses finance in about the time it takes to make a bag of popcorn. He's also the co-host of This is Awkward, where he and his co-host Allison Baggerly help people with their awkward money problems. We dig into some good stuff this week like: After we get past financial survival/protection mode, what are the new rules to follow? What kind of life insurance is best? What happens when you've budgeted my whole income and you still can't find the cash to save or invest? Chris has some big shoes to fill and he did a fantastic job.
