Two Guys One Show

Welp. Progressive or not, our listeners still arent's fans of sharing their salaries with coworkers:

#TGOSPoll - Should you share your salary w/ coworkers? You have 2 days to vote!

— WIM & Rich (@TGOSPodcast) January 25, 2016

This week a listener writes in with a question so important we decided to address it on the main show:

I know my credit is really bad since I can't even get a bank account and I'm scared to get my credit score since I haven't checked in months (avoiding seeing that low number) as it's such an embarrassing thing to ask anyone about, because judgmental. So question is where/ how do I start to clean up my credit? I've been doing some reading on bad credit and I know I have a long road ahead of me but with the information you guys can give me will be a great help. Is it just a pay what I owe and wait it out thing or can I speed the process up? I heard about credit unions not doing credit checks or getting Cards from mall stores to help improve it what are you guys thoughts on that?

TGOS hits this one from several angles, no pause. First, we consulted with the experts, the credit bureaus: Experian, TransUnion and Equifax. We even un-earthed a few gems to share with our listeners from the Federal Trade Commission. Who woulda thunk to research repairing your debt from the government entity responsible for monitoring fraud and business practices. Don't worry, you don't have to answer that. We did the research so you don't have to. We wrap-up with some personal tips from our own lives on how to repair your debt, why we recommend you visit your local credit union (again), and we end with some encouraging words on managing your debt while prioritizing your goals.

Remember those Guest Appearances we bragged about in 2015? They're here! The Exquisite Ladies of Whiskey, Wine, and Moonshine (@WhiskeyWineMoon) helped us start the year off right with their illustrious appearance to discuss...well, everything under the sun and a few things in the shade. For your benefit and listening pleasure, we discuss whether love and marriage really lead to happiness; who defines "blackness" and what does or does not make you qualified to represent for Black Twitter; a horse and carriage and several other topics anyone aged 18 - 45 is thinking about.

Tired of living check to check? Budgeting doesn't have to be complicated. All you need is 15 minutes, a pen and a note pad (example below). The first step to improving the way you spend your money is knowing how you spend your money and where your money is going. You don't need Excel, the latest smart phone, or fancy websites. All you need to do is write down how much money you're making each month after taxes and your monthly bills. This week, we challenge you and our listeners to start a budget. That's it.

Once you figure this out, we'll use future shows to explain what you can do next with this info. Know better, do better! Grab a pen (or phone) and use the example below to figure out your own monthly budget. Listen to this week's show for tips on how to immediately cut expenses and grow that bottom line!

New Year, No (or less anyway) stress! Rich and WIM are back on blab to discuss the first two weeks of 2016 and their plans for the next 50 weeks of 2016 and beyond. Rich wonders why adults don't have Spring Break, or any official break from work when even his "off" days are spent adulting. Our main discussion? How are millenials who make over $100,000 still struggling to make ends meet, and in more good news, Millennials need only make $429,000 to make it into the 1% now. Congratulations.

This week, TGOS tried a new platform for (potentially) recording live shows. To catch the playback, check out Blab (you can also play below). If you've already concluded our faces are better watched on the podcast, you can use your usual podcast-app or website of choice! We discuss why you should immediately add local Credit Unions to your list of loan servicing choices, as WIM uses the recent purchase of a new vehicle to tout one of the many benefits of Credit Unions. We also discuss how to obtain your legally guaranteed free annual credit report (not a plug, or paid site) and the importance of knowing your credit history before you try to make a major purchase. Lastly, we discuss goal setting for 2016 and why you should keep track of your annual accomplishments for work and personal life.

The Side Episode, The Struggle Chronicles, The Washed Mixtape Saga returns colder than ever! WELCOME TO 2016! New year, new you? On that topic, WIM discusses his latest first world problems in the form of a new car purchase. Rich makes a BIGGER big announcement. Plus, what Side Episode would be complete without random conversations ranging from traversing Detroit, why you should be watching Mr. Robot, to answering a listener question by citing dating from the world's largest self-proclaimed adult website: "What do you think is a normal amount of [videos intended for a mature audience with no viewer discretion advised] for a man to watch? I think my boyfriend has a problem."

HAPPY NEW YEAR! We hope you had a happy and safe 2016. Starting off the year right, TGOS lays out The Blueprint for 2016: We begin with a discussion on a change in perspective on all things financial management, career advice oriented, and the pursuit of debt freedom and The Freedom Chase. TGOS wonders, why can't Millennials have it all? It might take a different approach, but maybe we can. Let's develop a plan together. Lastly, in a remix to the WIMRANT, WIM drops the WIMResolution, a hopefully helpful insight for the young men (and women) who struggle with expressing more emotions than apathy and anger in relationships and beyond.

Join us and let's make 2016 better than the last. Brand New Year, Same Washed Guys.
