5 Smart Money Tips for Millennials
Today on the podcast, I am talking to my friend Kali Hawlk. I became friends with Kali a few years ago through her blog Commonsense Millennial. She no longer blogs there, but blogs are her main site Kali Hawlk.com but I have to tell you that if one thing is true about Kali, she is truly a Commonsense Millennial. Kali graduated from college four years ago in a terrible job market and worked her way from a $10/per hour job to running her own business and now working for The XY Planning Network.

Kali - Jameson on the rocks (As I told Kali on the podcast, I am super impressed with her drinking ability and told her that she had bigger drinking balls than me. I can't handle a grown up drink like she has, so I stuck with vodka)Shannon - Vodka and soda
