About this episode

In this episode of the Personal Finance Club Show, Jeremy and Jenn start off by reacting to viral internet money advice in "Scroll Patrol" before breaking down "X Money." They analyze whether holding cash on the platform for higher interest rates is worth the monthly subscription fees and fine print, or if it's just another gimmick to avoid.Next, in "Can I Ask A Dumb One?", the hosts answer an audio question from John in Albuquerque about using an emergency fund to cushion job loss and sequence-of-returns risk in early retirement. Finally, in "Jeremy Had Time Today," they dive into the comment section of their "Best Investors" Instagram post before closing out with their signature reminder: live below your means and invest early and often.Helpful links: • Jim Cramer on The Onion: https://theonion.com/everyone-who-started-watching-mad-money-in-2005-now-bil-1819574945/ • Jeremy on Mad Money: https://youtu.be/dEajNCgS_4Y • Ask a question: https://personalfinanceclub.com/ask/ • Flat-Fee Financial Advisors: https://hellonectarine.com/ • One hour learn to invest course (free): https://personalfinanceclub.com/start-here/
