Development Best Practices

On today's episode we are pleased to welcome back Kamran Ayub, Pluralsight Author, speaker and consultant. Kamran and I continue our talk around Best Practices in Personal Finance with Part 4 of our series: Personal Finance: Tools, security and your retirement savings.

Thank you to Kamran once again. This was part four of our personal finance series. Originally we had planned for this to be a four part series, but as often happens the best stuff ended up being unplanned, in this case 401(k)s, financial independence, and FU Money. Make sure to check back in a few weeks for this bonus episode.
