    Accidental Side Hustling with Amanda

    We are officially in the second to last month of the podcast and it’s my final month of guest interviews. So, I decided my final topic guest interviews would be around side hustling and entrepreneurship, which you can imagine are subjects near and dear to my heart. The Financial Gym has taken me on an 11-year entrepreneurial journey, and it would have started as a side hustle if I was allowed to coach people on the side from my day job as a financial advisor. In August of 2013, I made the wild decision jump full force into an entrepreneurial journey without testing it via side hustle, and while I’m thankful for the journey, I would advise everyone else to start with the side hustle before it becomes the full hustle.  So this month I’m going to share with you stories from side hustle through full entrepreneurship and everywhere in between. Joining me today is long time podcast listener and long time Financial Gym client, Amanda, who has recently launched an HR-based side hustle called Now What HR. She joins me to share her journey to side hustling and why she decided to start one now, especially when it was never a destination on her financial roadmap. And now here’s Amanda.    For more information, visit the show notes: https://www.martinisandyourmoney.com/show-notes/episode548

    Side Hustles with with Gala Aranaga

    We are officially in the second to last month of the podcast and it’s actually my final month of guest interviews. So I decided my final topic guest interviews would be around side hustling and entrepreneurship, which you can imagine are subjects near and dear to my heart. The Financial Gym has taken me on an 11-year entrepreneurial journey and it would have started as a side hustle if I was allowed to coach people on the side from my day job as a financial advisor. In August of 2013, I made the wild decision jump full force into an entrepreneurial journey without testing it via side hustle, and while I’m thankful for the journey, I would advise everyone else to start with the side hustle before it becomes the full hustle. So this month I’m going to share with you stories from side hustle through full entrepreneurship and everywhere in between. Joining me today is Gala Aranaga, a lifelong creative who allowed her creative energy to lead her to various side hustles from composing music to buying a theater. Gala joins me today to talk about her journey, about why the word hustle gets a bad rap and why you should never be afraid to try anything once.  For more information, visit the show notes: https://www.martinisandyourmoney.com/show-notes/episode547

    August Recap with the Happy Hour Crew

    Today is the last Friday of the month, and my regular listeners know that on the last Friday of the month, I host the happy hour on the podcast, where I gather great friends with me to drink cheap drinks and talk about money topics. This month, I’ve talked about a number of topics with my Financial Gym teammates, and we’re talking about them during happy hour. You’ll hear our thoughts on buying vs. renting, the financial challenges we’ve had as pet owners, and our biggest learning lessons from investing our own money. As usual, this is a great conversation and there will only be two more Happy Hours after this one.   For more information, visit the show notes: https://www.martinisandyourmoney.com/show-notes/episode546

    Planning for Pets with Sara Belhouari

    This month I’ve got a mixed bag of topics to talk to you about and I’m tagging in my amazing training team at Financial Gym to help me Gymsplain some of these topics and also give perspective on what they see on a daily basis from clients. I just discussed home buying decisions and when to buy or rent and then next logical financial topic to me was thinking about who or what would you have in your home and that’s pets. I have said this many times throughout the years but at Financial Gym, we have more clients who have goals of having fur babies rather than human babies and the large majority of our clients are already fur parents and from a trainer perspective, we see the financial challenges being a fur parent presents. Joining me today is Sara Belhouari, Financial Gym trainer and also fur parent to discuss how she helps her client’s budget for and plan for their fur babies but also the challenges she has had in her journey. And now here’s Sara.   For more information, visit the show notes at https://www.martinisandyourmoney.com/show-notes/episode544

    Should I Work With a Mortgage Broker?

    This month, I've got a mixed bag of topics, and I'm tagging in my amazing training team at Financial Gym to help me Gymsplain some of them and also give perspective on what they see on a daily basis from clients. In these first two episodes of this month, I'm talking about home ownership. I always say that it's expensive to get into a home, and it's expensive to get out of a home. Given how expensive it is these days, it's a decision not to be taken lightly, and honestly, it's a decision that is becoming less and less important for many of the clients we see.   Joining me today is Financial Gym Trainer Jill Wagner, who is also a licensed real estate agent and mortgage broker, to talk about what mortgage brokers do, why and when you would want to utilize a mortgage broker, and common mistakes and misconceptions when people are buying homes, especially first time home buyers.  For more information, visit the show notes: https://www.martinisandyourmoney.com/show-notes/episode543
