You've done it. You've worked hard, gotten the education, put in the long nights and early mornings to get to a point in your career where you're starting to make good money. Maybe you've even had a goal of hitting 6-figures and you did it! Now what? For the first time in your life, you're not necessarily struggling to pay your bills but you also know you're probably not making all the right financial choices.
Should you be putting more in your 401K? Should you be investing elsewhere? How much should you put towards any lingering debt versus saving for big goals like buying a house or paying for a wedding? Do you spring for the expensive apartment or stay where you are?
Eric Roberge, founder of Beyond your Hammock, talked with us about many of these scenarios and how to approach money management once you start actually having some money.
He helps with learning how to:
- Take control of your cash flow
- Develop a savings plan that enables financial freedom
- Avoid costly mistakes that keep you stuck and struggling
- Invest appropriately to create significant wealth
- Enjoy the ability to use your time the way you want

Investing is a scary word for many of us. We don't understand much about it other than that it is risky and complicated - until now. The reality is that if you aren't currently saving for retirement or your future goals, you are already behind. And investing is the best way to reach your long-term financial targets.
On this week's episode we release part 2 of a 2-part series with Rachel Richards, author of Money Honey: A Simple 7-Step Guide to Getting your Financial $hit Together. Rachel has always had a passion for understanding money. This stemmed from growing up in a household on a strict budget. In fact, she began investing in the stock market at 18 years old and graduated a 40K per year college in just 3 years - 100% debt-free. Learn about how she did it and her tips around budgeting, saving, and investing.
In this episode, she will also cover off on her 3 key investing rules and the exact steps you can take to get started today (because you should....start today).

On this week's Fast 5, we talk about an interesting article that came out this week titled "Rich and miserable: the legacy baby boomers left for millennials". In short, the article highlights how millennials earn more than young adult households did at nearly any time in the past 50 years. This has particularly strong implications for women - both financially and mentally.
Join us for 5 minutes as we discuss whether we agree with some of the statements in the article - like how women are really struggling to make parenting work - and share your thoughts with us too!

It's a tale as old as time. Or at least as long as Millennials have been in the workforce. We're entitled, lazy, and have zero, zilp, zilch loyalty. This week we explore why Millennials get so much haterade and dispel some of the myths.
The crazy truth is that all Millennials are now in the workforce! So listen to this episode to hear our thoughts on:
- What we learned from our parents on what work/life balance looks like
- Why questioning the status quo is a strength - not a weakness
- Why the generations can only work together if we all decide to accept and embrace new ways of thinking
- How technology has enabled flexibility and remote working - and why this is difficult for some to understand
- Other things Millennials have killed - including Kraft cheese slices and top sheets
