Nick Maggiulli, blogger and author, joins the podcast to discuss the intersection of data and personal finance.

We talk about the numbers behind financial moves to save money, invest, and build sustainable wealth, while also combatting common absolutes in the personal finance world. Nick and I discuss the order of operations of investing, how debt isn’t always bad, why he thinks you probably shouldn’t max out your 401k, and more.

In this episode we discuss:

The importance of where you focus your attention in your financial life
Why you need an emergency fund first and foremost
How to stop the stress and guilt we feel when we spend money
The 2x rule when you are able to spend
The usefulness of debt + more
