Hey, everyone! Just when you thought you could bury this feed....we go and use it again! Welcome to the new 2 Guys show, where we take one topic from the Free Financial Advisor website and discuss it. A few differences between this and our flagship show, Stacking Benjamins: 1) This show is taped LIVE and has ZERO editing. It's OG and Joe raw. (boo-yah!)  2) This is a more serious show about a single financial topic. No guests, no shout outs....just a quick ten minute discussion. We hope you like it! 

Ever wonder how your budget, investments and money could work harder? It isn't a silver bullet you're after...it's better systems to consistently perform. We give you our Top 5 each this week!

Is it wrong to tell the people who you gift money to how they can use it?  Finally, we give you notes about the new show (starting next week!) and how to subscribe.

We give away a prize to a lucky listener AND we discuss our new podcast. Remember: only one more episode of 2 Guys & Your Money before the launch of Stacking Benjamins on May 20th!
