Did you miss us? We return, but with a new format!
2 Guys & Your Money is now your Thursday show with one quick-hitting topic. No guests. No comedy. Just straight talk from a couple of guys who’ve been there.
Here’s the outline for the “new” 2 Guys & Your Money:
– Shows run about 10 minutes.
– We cover one topic.
– This show is unedited. Unfortunately, I have to save all my editing time for Stacking Benjamins.
Thanks for listening! Here’s the first one:

Wondering WHY your budget, money and investments aren’t performing as well as they should? We have the answers on this week’s show. Also, we welcome the Makin’SenseBabe to the show, as she joins Dominique Brown and Len Penzo to discuss people who place restrictions on estates….you know those people who say “You can’t inherit my money unless you quit smoking….OR…..you can’t have the cash until you finish college….” Is that wrong? Should people do that with their money?
We discuss the new Stacking Benjamin’s podcast and how to subscribe next week to the new show AND we share our feelings about Iron Man 3…and much much more.
