Barbara Sloan, author of "Tipped The life changing guide to financial freedom for waitresses, bartenders, strippers, and all other service industry professionals," joins Gabe to talk about a topic we've wanted to cover for a while: tipping and working for tips. In the US, 3 million people work mainly for tips and yet financial advice never takes them into account or gives them practical steps to financial stability. We talk about the minimum and subminimum wage, what patrons can do to be better customers to tipped workers, and how people who work for tips can better save, budget, and control their money.

How fast or slow do you listen to Gabe talk? More on solo 401Ks, welcoming the new people on the Discord channel which is... poppin' off, and how many bank accounts should you have and for what? You all had a lot of feelings on the Julia Cook episode about kids and money. Do not normalize poor infrastructure.
