Easy Money: How You Can Get It And What You Should Do With It
About this episode
We're talking about money, and then hopefully taking a break from it for a while. I feel gross when I talk about it for too long.
In Episode #244 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: why you don't want to see your net worth decrease, our personal monthly expenses, how much extra it would cost for our dream lifestyle, why chasing the next promotion solely for money is very very silly, how gambling can cloud your judgement and whether there actually is easy money to be made.
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
