On Episode 11 of the Best Interest Podcast, I interview Justin Nacpil. Justin is the voice behind the Road To Wealth podcast. 

We talk about how Justin's thoughts on money have changes since having two young kids. We talk about the way we met---through Money Twitter---and the interesting things we learn from that community. And we take deep dives down a few interesting sidebars that I think you'll enjoy. 

Find Justin on Twitter (@RoadtoWealthPod) and Instagram (@RoadToWealthPodcast). You can find Road to Wealth on all common podcast apps.

We break down Warren Buffett's annual letter to the Berkshire Hathaway shareholders. How does the "Oracle of Omaha" address his co-owners?

And then we get a great question from Chris & Jenni at TicTocLife. If you're saving up for a near-term goal, should you try to invest that money?
