Hello, whinabbers. My name is Jesse Meekham and this is

podcast number 95 for you need a budget where we teach you four rules to

help you stop living paycheck to paycheck, get out of debt, and save more money.

Today I'm pleased to have with me Jeff Rose, he's a CFP and the author of a new book called

Soldier of Finance.

Jeff Rose and I are pretty good friends.

We participated in a pull-up challenge

at last year's Financial Blogger Conference.

I won't say who won the challenge, but I was extremely happy with the

result and Jeff was not as happy with the result. So without further ado, here is my previously recorded interview with Jeff Rose.

All right I am here with Jeff Rose from Good Financial Sense.com he is a CFP and the author of a new book called

Soldier of Finance. Welcome Jeff. Welcome welcome, welcome. Thanks for having me.

You bet. I'm excited to have you on and excited to have our pull-up challenge in about a month at Finn

Don't.

It's right. I'm pretty dialed in on it, so let's see what happens.

See if I can hang on to my belt. But let's okay so the

Wineab podcast users are pretty savvy folks. They're pretty aware of their finances they like this stuff so they're probably

by default already interested in a personal finance book but I wanted to have you kind of first tell me a little bit about your background how you got into personal finance space and then I guess I'll ask you more about soldier finance specifically.

Yeah, so as far as just a little bit of my background, I was a finance major in college and was getting that point where

he was going to graduate and really had no idea what I was going to do.

And I end up doing an internship at a local investment firm, which consisted of shredding papers

and filing.
