The 100th Episode Special

Author: ListenMoneyMatters.com | Andrew Fiebert and Matt Giovanisci July 2, 2014 Duration: 45:50
 Listen, Money Matters celebrates our milestone 100th episode by reminiscing over listener voted best episodes.  Enjoy these classics! Some of the favorite episodes surprised us.  The first one?   Others, like Adam Carrol’s interview are favorites of our’s too.  Here they are, in no particular order. Episode 1:  Introducing the Listen, Money Matters Podcast.  Our debut!  We learn that Andrew is the money guy and Matt is the listener, there to learn with the audience.  We also learn Andrew’s first foray into entrepreneurship was selling porn to the other kids in the sandbox. Episode 14:  Our New Year’s Resolutions for 2014. We shared our resolutions both monetary and personal, and introduced you to some tools to help you meet your goals. Episode 32: An Interview with Adam Carroll of Broke Busted and Disgusted.  This resonated with a lot of you.  Student debt increased ONE TRILLION DOLLARS between 2004 and 2014.  The government decided student loans could no longer be forgiven in bankruptcy which caused lenders to throw open the vault because they would never lose money.  Higher education followed suite and raised their prices knowing that the lenders would dole out money like Halloween candy and they wanted a piece.  This is not sustainable. Episode 34:  Money for the Love of Freedom.  This one is my favorite.  By the end of it Matt was sweating and I was cheering.  This is why we do the show and why you listen.  The dream for us all. Episode 30:  The Average Investor’s Commandments.   We learned the ten keys to investing whether you’re a beginner or Warren Buffett. Episode 92:  Travel Hacking Tips with Travis Sherry Travel episodes are always a big hit.  Travis Sherry taught us how to travel like a baller on a frugal budget.  We’ll have him back in a future episode to teach us how to fly for free with miles. Thank you to each and every listener.  Thank you for your e-mails, reviews, show topics, questions, and just your encouragement.  We do this because we want to help and it means so much to hear from you. Show Notes Broke, Busted, and Disgusted:  Adam’s eye opening documentary about the state of student loan debt. Extra Pack of Peanuts:  Travis’s excellent travel hacking blog.  Learn from the master.
