About this episode

How can you earn more? What if you were more awesome at your job? Host of the hit podcast How To Be Awesome At Your Job, Pete Mockaitis, joins us in the basement to talk workplace best practices. We haven't done a top five episode in some time, so we're going to count down Pete's five favorite messages that guests of his show have shared. We'll talk about everything from productivity to planning, and TONS of ways to excel at your job on today's podcast!

In our headline segment, we share a recent survey from HealthPocket.com asking, "How much can you afford out-of-pocket for health care?" The answer will amaze you. We also tackle the recent step down of the Equifax CEO. What does that have to do with your money? Well, we share some tips if your job goes away AND also crack a few password jokes....

We'll also throw out the Haven Life Line to JiEun, who wonders whether the Stacking Benjamins courses are only geared for people in the USA (spoiler: it depends on the course). Plus we'll answer a letter from Wiggles, who wonders out loud why people worry so much about penalties on 529 plans. 

Special thanks to M1Finance and Big Picture Retirement podcast for sponsoring our show! We couldn't do any of this without the support of these awesome companies.
