We welcome back Kamran Ayub, Pluralsight Author, speaker and consultant. So...Kamran and I had a great plan: create a four part series on best practices in personal finance for developers. It was a good plan, but luckily for you, dear listener, we talked about some other great topics: 401(k)s, financial independence, and FU money. Rather than just lose that, it's here, in this bonus episode. I hope you enjoy it - it's some of the most valuable advice you'll hear.
1:11 401(k)s and other savings vehicles
2:40 401(k) company match = free money
4:40 Financial independence definition
7:05 Encore Careers
9:40 Walk-Away Money

This was a bonus part five episode of our four part personal finance series. Again, I hope you enjoyed it, and found value in it.
