Laid Off Budgeting & Music

Welcome to Episode 5 of the Laid Off Lads Podcast!

In this week’s Classifieds segment, we attempt to tackle a real world subject that impacts us all whether we like it or not…BUDGETING. Here we’ll give our perspectives and strategies on how we’ve managed our budgets in the face of unemployment, and the importance of having a financial plan in place to prepare for any life event whether you’re employed or not. This was a fantastic and thought provoking topic submitted by Heather via Instagram.

*This is where we would insert a disclaimer that we are not financial advisors and we are not liable for anything you take from this segment and how it may impact your life. But that disclaimer won’t be necessary because we’re clearly not the type of guys you should take any advice from – ever.

In our What’s The Topic segment, we do a hard 180 and contradict every bit of financial wisdom we just dispensed as we discuss the most ridiculous splurge purchases we’ve made since being laid off.  If there ever was a topic that highlights the personality of an individual, it’s how you spend money in the face of financial uncertainty. You’ll certainly learn a lot about each of us here as we reveal our most ridiculous purchases.

We wrap up Episode 5 with a topic that resonates with every one of us – MUSIC! In this topic sent to us by Aidan via Instagram, we discuss our musical tastes and preferences and the impact they’ve had on our lives. Phil tries to guess what Boyce’s musical tastes are based on no information other than his misguided perceptions. The range of musical tastes between us is wide and there are a lot of great discoveries to be found if you’re looking for something new to listen to.

We can’t thank everyone enough for your support and encouragement as we continue to grow and evolve in this new adventure. Your comments, topic suggestions and feedback are welcomed, encouraged, and will help us continue to create content by the people, of the people, and for the people!
