278: Our Failed 2021 Goals Dec 27, 2021

Show notes

This is the time of year when everyone shares the many goals they achieved during 2021. That's not what we're doing on Popcorn Finance this week! This week I'm joined by the amazing Berna Anat to discuss all of the goals that we failed to achieve this year.

276: Is It The Thought That Counts? Dec 20, 2021

Show notes

What do you do when you find out your partner spent more on a gift than they should have? This week we are getting awkward with this story from This is Awkward, the other podcast I cohost. A listener wrote in to get our advice after receiving a gift from her husband that he clearly overpaid for. Should she tell him that he overpaid and return the gift or should she let him think he got a great deal?

Check out all our awkwardness on a full episode of This is Awkward! https://AwkwardPodcast.com

It is so easy to become overwhelmed with what feels like a never ending stream of new stocks and cryptocurrencies to invest in.

272: Should I Keep My Money Separate From My Partner? Nov 22, 2021

Show notes

Should you merge finances with your significant other or keep everything separate?

There’s nothing like a little financial weight being lifted when you decide to share living expenses with someone! That being said, is it smart to still keep a small stash of your own coin? I was recently a guest on KFI AM640 where Kelvin Washington and I discussed finding a happy medium.

Would you rather have a perfect credit score or $100,000?
