My 5 Everyday Podcasts

 Every day I have enough time in the morning, commuting, and at lunch to listen to about 5 podcasts everyday. The 5 that I like listen to EVERYDAY are listed below.

1) Robinhood Snacks Daily

- This podcast gives you 3 major forces affecting the economy every day. The two guys are long time friends and are hilarious together. I like to start with this one as a way of getting unbiased news that directly affects the economy. 

2) The Indicator from Planet Money

- This podcast is all about ideas. It usually references one to two main ideas that are affecting the world right now. It will then go into the direct implications. Instead of just giving bullet point news, it follows up with the actual implications. 


3)Bigger Pockets Daily

- Bigger Pockets is the real estate crew who coined the BRRRR method and has had a major part in changing the real estate environment. Each daily 10 minute podcast runs through a hot real estate "how-to" topic to educate listeners. 

4)Planet Money

- Planet Money is essentially a longer version of the Indicator podcast. I listen to this one near the end since it is longer than the previously mentioned ones. They hit spefically on the economy and make sure to post about twice a week. They do special episodes all the time. Earlier this month, they recorded a reading of the Great Gatsby.

5) The Joe Rogan Experience

- This is my "never finishing an episode" podcast. Each episode is over an hour but is so good. Joe Rogan is one of the most multi faceted people in podcasting and likes to touch on all kinds of topics that interest him with some of the most interesting people out there. He finds more than just the typical celebrity which always leaves me feeling like I learned something, but also can relax.

Affordable Kitchen Reno

Image
My wife and I moved into our first house in May and immediately started doing our own updates. Because we spent most of our savings buying the house, we wanted to keep the updates as affordable as possible. The kitchen was fairly builder-grade with the classic metal sink and all white appliances. Here is what it looked like before we started.  We took down all of the cabinet doors and painted them glossy white. We ordered some really affordable pulls from Amazon. They were $30 for 25 pulls!  We ordered some Feather Finish concrete and watched a ton of YouTube videos to learn how to concrete our countertops. While we were going, I made the call to go ahead and concrete our metal sink too. I hadn’t seen anyone do it but I thought it was worth a shot.  By the end of the project, we ended up only spending about $200 on pulls, concrete, polyurethane to seal the concrete, a $70 sink from Amazon, and a nifty new soap dispenser. Here our our final results!

Gym Membership vs. Home Gym

Image
The Cost of a Gym Membership in 2019 The average cost of a gym membership in the United States is as much as $600 a year. This is for your run of the mill average gym. Then if you get into the specialty gyms like CrossFit or PureBarre that you need a coach and classes for, your annual cost goes even higher. If you are a member of one of these gyms, I challenge you to make a working list of the equipment that you use at your gym and, in a separate column, whether that equipment is critical to your routine or if you could do without it.  Building a Home Gym After you have made this list of what is critical to you and what isn’t, you can start looking at the cost of this equipment. I recommend looking for secondhand equipment on resale sites like Facebook Marketplace, EBay, Craigslist, etc. I personally built my last home gym for only $250 solely on Facebook Marketplace. This was my breakdown: Bench press/leg press with about 300lbs of free weights: $100 Power Tower ...

Newest Side Hustle

Image
 So my newest side hustle endeavors pushed me towards something I really enjoy: Woodworking. My wife's grandfather clear cut an acre or two of his land and harvested a bunch of black walnut trees. When I was over there, I asked what he was going to do with the wood. He told me he would use some here and there but I was welcome to as much of it as I wanted. I used some of it to make Christmas presents over the holidays. One of my favorite gifts was a charcuterie board that I gave my mom. I did a quick google search and discovered that Black Walnut charcuterie boards were going for a whole lot more than I realized. I decided to make a few different ones and list them on Etsy. I have never used Etsy, but they make it quick and easy to set up a shop. They also are very clear about their fees and costs of selling. Here is a link to the fees that they charge for selling on the platform. https://www.etsy.com/legal/fees/ I also used to have some luck on eBay so I went ahead and posted them...
