AIE 111: Work for Tips? Better Learn to Manage That Money!

This week, Lauren brings you her interview with Barbara Sloan, a woman who has worked in many service industry jobs all across the US. She knows what she's talking about when it comes to receiving variable pay and little benefits. Slowly, she learned how to manage her money and she literally wrote the book on personal finance for service industry professionals. Lauren, having read Barbara's book, dove into some of the topics, like how to make your own PTO or retirement plan. Barbara has some great ideas on gamifying your retirement savings as well. Rather than raging against the service industry, Barbara encourages you to work with what you can control, which is actually a lot. Listen now!
