Q&A: A $30K Promotion Near FI, Learning Put Options, and Scaling a 16-Unit Portfolio

from Afford Anything | Make Smart Money Choices · host Paula Pant, Personal Finance Expert | Cumulus Podcast Network

#700: Today we’re tackling three different financial questions from our listeners. First, we’ll hear from Melanie, who is deciding whether to pursue a promotion that would increase her salary by $30,000 but may add more stress, even though she’s already close to financial independence. Next, Ami wants to learn how options trading works and is wondering how to find legitimate training without falling into expensive or questionable courses. And later in the episode, we’ll revisit Ben who called in six years ago asking how to grow from four rental units to twenty. Today he owns sixteen units and is deciding how to scale from here. We’ll tackle all of that on today’s episode #700!!!
