Holy Ton of Topics, Batman!

On this special Labor Day edition of the podcast, we introduce a new reality show coming via NerdWallet, Kathleen from Frugal Portland joins the roundtable team for a rousing discussion of couple’s finances, and PK tells you why your insurance premiums are high (and of course, draws the correlation to “too big to fail”…always the overachiever).
