It’s time for a Friday Flight! These episodes are all about the week’s news and the effects of the pandemic on your personal finances. There are a lot of headlines out there, but we are distilling it down to specific takeaways that will allow you to not just weather this health and financial crisis, but to come out on the other side even stronger. In this episode we cover some interesting and helpful stories like: beer deals and food freebies, WTD with expiring travel vouchers, more realtors than homes, shrinking your mortgage payment, losing 10 BTC after falling for a Twitter scam, used car inflation, avoiding potholes to save money, Borrower Defense to Repayment program, and fewer universities using standardized tests on applications.
