The Money Millhouse

Today we see a lot of Instagram highlight reels, and it is a real temptation to feel the pressure to keep up with what we think everyone is doing around us.

The phrase “Keeping Up With the Joneses” goes all the way back to the Boomer Generation. But it applies to Gen X and Millennials as well. Today in the Money Millhouse, Bethany and Ellie welcome Ronnie Kinsey, a former police office on the southside of Atlanta turned Pastor. They discuss the concept of what it means to keep up with the Joneses and alternative options in our mindset when it comes to comparison.

According to a poll conducted in early 2018 by global staffing firm Robert Half, 39 percent of workers tried to negotiate a higher salary during their last job offer.

Forty-six percent of men negotiated salary compared to 34 percent of women. Workers ages 18-34 (45 percent) were more likely to negotiate salary than those ages 35-54 (40 percent) and 55 or older (30 percent).

Today in the Money Millhouse, we get concrete tips from Jaime Chapman on how to negotiate a salary when taking a new job. She even gives tips on how to negotiate a salary before you even get an offer.

Do you feel like you are shamed by entrepreneurs for having a 9-to-5?

The one and only Rich Jones from @paybalances joins us for this special episode LIVE from the #FinCon19 podcasting booth! Not only is Rich an awesome podcaster, he also happens to work for Google. On the show today we talk about how even with an awesome daytime job, he still feels the pressure from the entrepreneur community to be self-employed.

We cherished this conversation focused on what the real goal is: loving waking up and working every day. According to Rich, if you find that in a traditional job, then there is no need to leave that behind for the grind of entrepreneur life.

We are absolutely delighted to share this episode with you --and we may have even gotten emotional at times.
