Summary

Ever think about quitting your job and just hitting the road? Krista Edwards (Ready to Roth podcast) did exactly that, taking off for several months during prime earning years to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. She shares some of the story and the intense planning she did before and during the trip, and hopefully inspires you to take that leap toward doing what you want, when you want, on your terms. But before that, loans, credit, and co-signing are all featured in today's headline story. Have you ever cosigned a loan for a family member? We talk about the good, bad, and ugly (but mostly the bad and ugly) when it comes to helping someone with a loan. What should you watch out for and is it ever a good idea? We'll share! We also answer Nina's question about reading a fund prospectus and Doug shares his trivia. You'll find show notes for this episode at www.stackingbenjamins.com/krista-edwards-1262. Deeper dives with curated links, topics, and discussions are on our newsletter, The 201, available at StackingBenjamins.com/201. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices.
