I recently spoke with some experienced financial advisors and asked them to share their thoughts on the future of millennials financially. Unfortunately, they did not feel confident in young America’s future and believe that millennials are unaware of how to manage their finances and are unprepared. Many of the advisors have observed the millennial mindset (including how their own kids think) and feel as though there is an entitled mindset that wants instant gratification an

By now you may have noticed that I am a huge fan of hip-hop. Despite loving it, I also find myself frustrated with the messages it sends to millennials in regards to money. One common theme in rap music is the celebration of the underdog. The boy or girl who came from nothing and against all odds, surpassed society’s expectations and became larger than life. I can respect that, as I too STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM. But once you’ve “made it”, the question is "what do you do with y

Sos Talks Money - Country Music Fans - Save That Money At Tortuga Fest. A few months back, I rolled up on the hip-hop fans at Rolling Loud.

I recently got the chance to sit down with one of my good friends and and the Miami Heat's very own, Kelly Olynyk. Not only is this man a seven foot scoring machine, he is also saving.

Sit down, break out a piece paper and a pen,

This years Fin Con 2018 was quite the event - where MONEY and MEDIA meet. I had the chance to chat it up with all kinds of financial service companies like Capital One, AARP, and Investopedia. I also met with some like minded financially-savvy content creators like Millennial Money, Mr Money Mustache, Financial Diet and what a chat we had. Among all these attendees on the conference floor, there was a titan in attendance, a sultan of saving if you will. This individual goes b

Oh to travel, to see the world, to take-in different cultures and beautiful sites, to create life-long memories, and of course to drop some epic grams. This all comes with price, especially if you're going abroad. A ticket to Europe can be upward of $1000; try doubling that if you're trying to hit up Asia. And that's just the flight! Throw in the hotel, cars, train tickets, food, shots of absinthe and it all ads up! Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on traveling abroad; I'm
