Listen Money Matters - Free Your Inner Financial Badass. All The Stuff You Should Know About Personal Finance.

This financial life episodes give us a chance to delve into a listener’s personal finance life and to give them some advice to improve it. Today we have This Financial Life with Connor. Connor is 23, lives in Manhattan, has been working in finance as a commercial underwriter for about a year and is making $70,000 annually before bonus.  He has no debt,  credit card debt or student loan. Connor has some money invested in individual stocks.  He bought GM after the recall fiasco because the price was low.  A smart move as GM might have dipped, but it’s “too big to fail” so not going anywhere anytime soon.  At least until Elon Musk decides otherwise.  He also bought stock in an e-cigarette company because it’s a fast-growing trend.  And WWE (disclaimer:  Connor is not a pro-wrestling fan) after it dropped 43% on news that it did not get enough monthly subscribers to offset lost pay-per-view orders.  So Connor does his research and makes a move when other’s fear to tread.  A favorite LMM trait.
