Travis Makes Money Make Money by Avoiding Really Bad Financial Advice
In this special episode, Travis is joined by his producer, Eric, for a fun break-down of the worst financial advice out there—reacting to viral clips and sorting the truly terrible from the merely misunderstood. They cover everything from “buy low, sell high” myths to the dangers of credit cards and the unpredictable path of moving to NYC for your dreams.
On this episode we talk about:
-
Listening (and laughing) through clips of supposed “awful” financial advice—from cash hacks to leveraging credit as a college student
-

-
The power of environment and why moving to a “dream city” could either ignite your career or send you financially underwater
-
When using credit can make sense for disciplined business owners—but why most people should stick to cash
-
Travis’s ranking of the worst, most misleading, and situational money advice people keep hearing
