Bartender Finance w Rocco Pendola | ep 289 Mar 14, 2022

Show notes

With so many bartenders making a sizable portion of their income in the form of cash, keeping track of it and spending it responsibly can be a bit trickier than other fields. This is compounded by the fact that many of our job opportunities don't offer full-time benefits or a 401k. Due to this precarious situation, which was only made worse by the pandemic, many of us are not in the healthiest long-term financial situation. To help shed a little light on things, this week we are joined by writer and bartender finance advocate, Rocco Pendola.
