Lauren and Jrod discuss emergency funds, budgets, paying down debt, investing, index funds, and retirement funds. Jared reminds us all that investing does not have to be complicated. Bio: Jared is 32 years old and married with 1- and 6-year-old boys. Jared and his wife’s money journey started about 7 years ago when they finally decided that they needed to pay off nearly $30,000 in debt. This decision was triggered by a termite infestation in their recently purchased home. The couple financed an $8,000 repair without blinking an eye and that’s when they knew they needed to change their financial habits. Seven years later and the family is now debt free and investing 25-30% of income monthly. Twitter: https://twitter.com/MoneyJrod FREE e-Book: https://gumroad.com/l/oaKXv
