Q&A with the Authors of the FI book: The Cash Machine

In his email he said, “To the best of my knowledge, it's the first book of its kind, a novel that gives its readers a solid grounding in financial literacy. The Cash Machine teaches hundreds of financial lessons, all taught through a love story.” How could I say no to that? I’m a finance geek and a hopeless romantic, bring it on!

I loved it so much that I wanted to share it all with you. I decided to ask David and Chana if they could share a bit more about the creation of this novel with us today.

5 Apps to Help You Save Up for Your Next Airbnb Investment

Hi Everyone,

My apologies that it has been awhile. My aim is to publish every two weeks but, unfortunately my Niece passed away in early Feb and I have been giving myself more space away from work to grieve. It has been challenging and my energy levels have been unpredictable. I have a lot of love and support in my community which has helped, I just thought I should let you know where I am at.

Thank you for understanding. In the meantime I have had some help from a friend to bring these resources below to you. I am hopeful that I will be on my normal schedule soon enough.

Two new podcasts! Take a listen...

May has been podcast month! I have been recording 2 or so a week, including some fun big name ones that should be coming out in the next few months.

I do not usually post here when a new podcast comes out, but since 2 episodes came out within a few days of each other, I thought it would be a good time to remind you of the media section where you can find a list of all the podcasts that I have been on: https://www.zeonamcintyre.com/media

An Incredible Life Hack for Health Insurance!

If you don’t qualify for low income or retirement coverage on Medicare / Medicaid, listen up! I am super impressed with this program and generally feel relieved that there are insurance providers who actually care and have our best interests at heart (I know, hard to believe).

Interview Series: Creative Housing! What I learned from the host of one of my favorite Airbnbs.

As a long time Airbnb host and world traveler, I’ve stayed in my fair share of vacation rentals. Second only to the incredible (and free!) pet sitting opportunities, Airbnbs are my favorite places to stay! I love them because they let me: A. See how the locals live, B. (Usually) meet locals and get insider tips and tricks for the area. C. Cook at home; and most importantly, D. Gain insight on areas I can improve my rentals back home.

Find Your Why

I don’t know about you, but this business of setting and defining goals has felt like a moving, elusive target. Although, I think that I am in a unique position to be overlapping into two very different groups that influence my thoughts on the subject. On the one side, I have friends like Mr. Money Mustache, a colorado based fellow who has a popular blog on Early Retirement, frugality and finding your freedom; and then I also have successful entrepreneurial friends who are young and driven, looking to scale and grow their empires to unlimited proportions. I find myself somewhere in the middle.
