The goal of this podcast is to educate and inform and anytime we can address a specific topic for listeners we’re all about it. One of the easiest ways for us to do that is by taking the questions you send us and bringing them onto the show to answer. That’s what we’ll do on this episode before we call out the latest Financial Propaganda of the Week.
