Conversation #47: Millennial Economics with Meredith (July 15, 2018)

Our friend Meredith, an older Millennial from early in that generation, joins us to talk about her winding and uncertain career path, which led her through dropping out of college, living with her parents, holding a variety of low-wage jobs, becoming a caregiver in a pinch, working at a number of side hustles, years of self-employment, minimalism, frugality, and now to something like the traditional definition of success. Along the way we talk about her projects as a podcaster, musician, and audio producer, the importance of being an auto-didact, the student loan fiasco, job prospects in the trades, and more.
