MMFBT 008 – Robb Engen of Boomer & Echo

Before we get to the guest portion of the show this week I thought I’d fill ya’ll in on some developments in our podcasts’ happenings.  Apparently the word on the street is that you actually want to hear us talk a little bit more.  This actually surprised as we figured we would be doing everyone a disservice if we made you wade through our tangents before you got to the great stuff our guests are bringing to the table every week.  Well, on the More Money for Beer and Textbooks Podcast we give the people what they want, so you’ll hear us do some more podcast together in the upcoming weeks, and we’ll throw in some chats before we get to our guests.  Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Robb is also one of Canada’s foremost credit card experts.  Don’t worry, we’re not going to subject you to another parent-themed rant about why credit cards are the devil.  Instead we’ll shoot a few tips your way about how to use these things right, and how to choose a student credit card that suits you.
