Summary

Is 2008 repeating itself? That’s the big question in the headlines, and today Nicole is talking to the perfect person to answer that question. Steve Eisman doesn’t need much of an introduction—he’s the investor who famously saw what no one else saw in 2008 and bet against the market before the crash (he was portrayed by Steve Carell in The Big Short). Today, Steve tells Nicole whether he thinks history is repeating itself, whether we're on-track for a recession, and his thoughts for new investors.

0:00.0	So I have written, count them five books now, but each time I'm in the writing process, I stay at an Airbnb. I love to stay at an Airbnb. When I was actually first launching this show, I was at an Airbnb in Arizona. It was so peaceful. It was stunning. I could be productive and comfortable. The Airbnb was also surrounded by a ton of havelinas. If you know Arizona,
0:23.2	you know they're like wild pig creatures, but honestly, I love them too. Being a way for work,
0:29.4	for fun, or both is a perfect opportunity to host your space on Airbnb. And if you think that
0:35.7	hosting is overwhelming, I have a solve for you. With Airbnb's
0:39.8	co-host network, it's easier than ever before to host. It's also a great way to earn some extra
0:44.9	cash, which I know we all love. Now you can hire a quality local co-host to take care of your
0:50.5	home and your guests. They can do everything from creating your listing to managing
0:55.4	reservations to messaging guests and even providing on-site support. So if you've got a secondary
1:01.1	property or an extended trip coming up and you need a little help hosting while you're away,
1:06.0	you can hire a co-host to do the work for you. Find a co-host at Airbnb.com slash host. So I just went to the
1:12.9	grocery store and I actually flinched at the cost of eggs and I don't even really eat eggs. That's how
1:18.1	bad it is. Everything feels more expensive. And so I'm hearing from a lot of money rehabbers right now that
1:22.9	their credit cards are getting a lot of exercise right now. But the last thing I want for any of you is to go into
1:28.2	credit card. Enter Chime Credit Builder card. This is a secured credit card with no annual fees. You can
1:34.8	build credit with money you set aside and avoid interest or expensive debt. Plus, you can get
1:39.6	access to my pay and get up to $500 of your pay before payday with no mandatory fees.
1:46.1	Start building credit with your everyday purchases and regular on-time payments with no
1:50.1	annual fees, interest, or credit check at chime.com slash MNN.
1:54.9	And then when you go to chime.com slash MNN as in Money News Network, you'll start thinking
1:59.7	about all the doors that will open once you start
2:01.8	building your credit, like lower rates on loans. Who doesn't want that? Turn your everyday purchases
2:06.9	into steps toward your financial goals with Chime Secure Credit Card. Get started today at chime.com
