Suzanne Lucas, better known as the Evil HR Lady, headlines an epic length podcast this week, as she shares with you the secret sauce to score that monster raise. Jana Lynch from Daily Money Shot and Bloggers Helping Bloggers joins our regular team of Len Penzo and Dominique Brown to tackle side hustle. If you can’t get a raise, should you side hustle? When do you turn your hobby into a money-maker?

Meanwhile, in the basement, Joe & OG tackle emerging markets investing and PK turns the concept of risk on its head. …AND….we dare you to win a Liz Weston book. Double Dog Dare.

Finally, we wrap it up by talking about the films Parker and Lars & The Real Girl.

Enjoy!

THANK YOU!

I can’t believe that our podcast reached:

– #3 on the Business New and Noteworthy section.

– #35 on the overall New and Noteworthy section.

…and, the part I find most unbelievable….

#18 overall on the iTunes Business chart, one spot ahead of a guy named Jim Cramer.

Thanks to everyone who helped make the shows, everyone who left a review, anybody who told their friends…thank you. I’m humbled by how many great reviews we’ve received.

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?

2 Guys & Your Money Episode #5: Top 5 Financial Rip Offs

July 30, 2012 by Average Joe 10 Comments

What a week! The FAR MORE FAMOUS podcaster Steve Stewart from MoneyPlanSOS fame co-hosts the show while OG is sitting somewhere with his feet up and a drink with an umbrella in his hand…not that I’m jealous or anything.

PK is back with another enlightening Fractional Cents, talking the highbrow discussion of Traditional vs. Roth IRA. On most days you’ll find PK posting at DQYDJ.net.

Jana from DailyMoneyShot.net joins the fun as the roundtable tackles retailers who charge more when people use credit cards, readers who are intimidated by blogs, the best money-saving things they do that make them proud, marketers following consumers eyeballs AND a recent study that suggests children’s income is largely predetermined by the amount their parents make.

Finally, Steve & I bestow upon you our Top 5 Financial Rip Offs. Steve’s #1 is a doozy if you’re a long time listener of the show….

OH YEAH….I ALMOST FORGOT: You can TOTALLY win the BEST book on networking of ALL TIME by Keith Ferrazzi (Never Eat Alone) if you listen to the podcast and shoot me a quick email. Listen for details.
