Hope everyone had a great weekend! Just wanted to let you know that I was recently interviewed for a podcast episode of The His & Her Money Show with Talaat and Tai McNeely You can find their blog, vlog, and podcast over at www.hisandhermoney.com or you can download their episodes on your favorite podcast app. I’m honored to have been featured on the show! They’ve featured some really big time names in the personal finance community, so its a bit surreal for a nobody like me to able to share my story on the same stage.
On the episode, I talk about my journey getting out of $87,000 in student loan debt and also share information about the various side hustles I perform using sharing economy platforms. I think it was a fun episode, has some information that I think you’ll find helpful, and hopefully, can help provide inspiration to you.

Thanks so much to Talaat and Tai for taking the time to interview me!
Kevin is an attorney and the blogger behind Financial Panther, a blog about personal finance, travel hacking, and side hustling using the sharing economy. He paid off $87,000 worth of student loans in just 2.5 years by choosing not to live like a big shot lawyer.
Kevin is passionate about earning money using the sharing economy and you can see all the ways he makes extra income every month in his side hustle reports.
Kevin is also big on using the latest fintech apps to improve his finances. Some of Kevin's favorite fintech apps include:
- Personal Capital. One of best free apps you can use to monitor your portfolio and track your net worth. This is one of the apps Kevin uses to track his financial accounts.
- SoFi Money. A really good high-interest checking account with absolutely no fees. It also reimburses all ATM fees worldwide. Even better, you'll get $75 if you open an account and have two direct deposits of at least $500 each.
- M1 Finance. This is a great robo-advisor that has no fees and allows you to create a customized portfolio based on your risk tolerance. It's great for a taxable account or if you are looking for a place to create a Roth IRA.
- Dobot. This is a great microsaving app that monitors the cash flow in your bank account and saves away small amounts for you each week. It's free and you'll get $5 when you use it.
- Credit Karma. A free credit monitoring app that everyone should use. It'll notify you of any changes to your credit report and is the best credit monitoring app out there.
Feel free to send Kevin a message here.
Just finished listening to this episode. I only have a few regular podcasts that I listen to and this is one of them. Definitely motivating to hear about your efforts to live below your means and make eliminating debt a priority. Looking forward to seeing more info about your side hustles on this site and congrats on destroying that debt!
Thanks Dub! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I had a great time on their show and hope that others can find it helpful too!
