Manage Your Damn Money with Ben & Malcolm

Manage Your Damn Money: The Podcast is bringing Millennials more great insight into what their generation can do to improve their personal finance habits through insightful, inspired and comedic conversations with artists, creatives and entrepreneurs who are making a living and making it work.

We cover everything from why a sitting President would force his teenage daughter to bus tables at a restaurant to why so many of us are drowning in student loan debt. We believe conversations like these are the ONLY way to inspire the confidence we all need when sharing and tackling our next steps in our personal finance journey.

Best of MYDM: Taxes, Homebuying and Making Money as a Musician Apr 30, 2017

Show notes

Since one of Manage Your Damn Money's co-hosts decided to take a financially ill-advised, (but still very enriching) trip to Greece, we decided to create a "Best of MYDM" episode covering some of the highlights of the shows we've done thus far.

What's in this bonus episode of MYDM? We'll cover taxes, buying a home, turning art into a career and managing money as a professional athlete.

We'll release "best of" episodes periodically to serve as a heavy shot of vitamin-m (money) so you can cram to find the inspiration you need to take the next steps in your personal finance efforts.
