With a decent number of Shipt deliveries under my belt, I thought it’d make sense for me to go over what my experience as a Shipt Shopper has been like, how I’ve made it work for me, and whether it’s something that you could incorporate into your own life.

Create Your Own FI
Earlier this month, I gave a presentation at CampFI – Midwest that I thought might be worth sharing here in a written format. I titled the talk “Create Your Own FI” and the idea was one that I’ve been thinking about for a while – that financial independence (FI) isn’t something that we necessarily have […]
Dollar-Cost Averaging By Necessity
There’s an interesting thing that happens when you stop paying attention to what the market is doing . . . nothing. I gave up on following market news a while ago because, frankly, it made me way too angry. Every article would always be the same – some guy predicting a big market crash for […]

Whew! I just got back from a week at FinCon, so I am absolutely exhausted. Still, this blog doesn’t sleep, so I’m back today with another Financial Panther Side Hustle Report!

Make Your Job Fit Around Your Life
One of the things I’ve been thinking about recently is how quitting my job has really changed the way I think about work, and specifically, how I think about the way work fits in with my life. Take my current schedule as an example. Last week, my wife and I went on a week-long trip […]

Introducing PersonalFinanceBlogs.com – A New Content Curation Site
Sometime not too long ago, Rockstar Finance, one of my favorite personal finance websites, went dormant. This was a pretty big bummer because of how important the site was not only to myself but to the entire personal finance community as well. The premise behind Rockstar Finance was pretty simple. Each day, they featured three […]

Welcome back to another edition of the Financial Panther Side Hustle Report. For those of you that are new here, each month, I document exactly what I made using different sharing economy and gig economy apps.

Electric Micromobility – This Is The Way To Move Around A City
One of the things that really excites me about the future of cities and transportation is the rise of micromobility and specifically, this wave of electric micromobility that we’ve been seeing in urban areas. I’ve been a fan of micromobility even before I knew that there was a term for it. Years ago, I wrote […]
The Relative Value of Money
There’s a concept that I’ve been thinking about over the past couple of years, especially as I’ve made this transition from a full-time, professional, real job, to a quasi-fake job as a blogger and gig economy worker. It has to do with a concept you could call the relative value of money. When I think […]
