Many musicians are their own employers, to a small extent if not entirely, making a significant of their portion from freelance gigs.  While the vast majority of them are great at their instruments, making good decisions with finances isn't a strength for everyone.  Samantha Absher of WTF is a Budget (and past cameo guest on an early episode about Terms for Theatre Musicians) is here to discuss some good easy-to-follow advice on savings, budgeting, debt reduction, renting vs buying a home, and more.  Life In the Pit listeners can get 30% off her online Financial Success Basics course by visiting https://www.wtfisabudget.com and using the coupon code: lifeinthepit .
