Money Talks: Open Topic Nov 2021
Money Talks loves bringing in expert guests to bring you a variety of topics but sometimes we just sit back and encourage you to call in about anything you’d like to discuss when it comes to your personal finance. We do have a selection of stories that have been in the news to discuss between your questions.
Discussion:
- "Stay the course" - S & P up this year
- Meta -verse

NPR recently reported that a California man in 2014 bought a season pass at Six Flags for $150 that included two meals a day. He has eaten nearly every meal at Six Flags over the last 6 years. He says with all his savings, he paid off his student loans and bought a house.
