[2:37] Where did the name “Financial Panther” come from for the name of your blog?
·       Simpsons reference, Homer thinks financial panther instead of financial planner.

[3:26] You have quite the student loan story. Can you tell us a bit of back story and what your plan was to pay it all back?
·       Graduated from law school with $87,000 with student loans debt- that was with a half scholarship
·       Plan was to pay back ASAP
·       Joined a law firm and didn’t enjoy it but wanted to pay back all debt so focused on big payments.

[4:35] After you paid back your debt, you took a new job with a pay cut but didn’t actually feel the impact of a smaller paycheck. What kind of habits do you have to keep such a low maintenance lifestyle?
·       Everyone at work has expensive taste, everyone else started spending a lot of money
·       Decided to live like a student for a few more years to try prioritize paying off student loans
·       Lifestyle remained the same, didn’t give in to lifestyle creep
·       Saw a lot of people go to a luxury apartment

·       Been hosting for almost 2 years
·       Over 100 guests in that time!

[10:7] You have ton of side hustles going on all of which you report your monthly income. Which side hustle do you enjoy most?
·       Food deliveries on bike
·       Paid to do stuff you enjoy is awesome!
·       Wag is awesome as well, most people need their dogs walked during lunch so it’s a great excuse to leave the office

[14:1] What advice do you have for someone thinking about doing a side hustle?
·       Look for ones that don’t require a huge amount of upfront time or commitment
