D*ve R*msey put his whole entire foot in his mouth on F*x N*ws last week — LET THE DRAGGING COMMENCE (3:11). Tiffany has some thoughts about that (7:20).We also take a question from a listener named Jane (29:25). Jane wants to leave her job to start her own business, and she's got a few questions about how to get financially ready for that.

Do you need to quit your job to start your business (31:10)? Is it okay to contribute a little less to your 401k (34:20).There's a lot to think about here, and Tiff gets real real about it (45:20).When you're done listening, this is the list of financial educators we want you to know about:Patrice C WashingtonJully-Alma Taveras - Investing LatinaPopcorn Finance PodcastAnna N'Jie-KonteFarnoosh TorabiJourney To LaunchCheck out the links below for more:Anna N'Jie-Konte's IG post about her former coworkerPre-Order Tiffany's book9 startling facts that show just how hard the student-debt crisis is hurting Black AmericansHome appraisal for Black couple skyrockets after white friend pretends to be homeownerThe Noodle BudgetNavipsychWho is Whitney Wolfe Herd?
