Journal Club 5-8-20

Here's Journal Club 5-8-20! Every week, I hold a JOURNAL CLUB. After manually filtering through the millions of articles out there on the web so you don't have to, and I present a few that impacted my life this week. Be safe and stay well!

• Physician on FIRE is a frugal weirdo. I'm not talking behind my friend's back here, okay? He admitted it himself! Physician on FIRE shares all the ways he and his family save money throughout the year, despite how many international travels they have planned! Take a look at how you can save money. Some of these suggestions might even really surprise you!

• On this blog, I often write about the subject of creating passive income and generating income through several streams. I am Passive Income, MD, after all! Well, there are many other fellow bloggers out there who do it, too, including Think Save Retire. Check out this great blog post about how to develop multiple streams of income.

• Millennial Money Man hosts the Financial Freedom Podcast. In one of his recent episodes, he shares his experience quarantining during this COVID-19 outbreak, as he moved 150 miles out of New York City, where most of us know the situation is particularly rough, in order to protect himself and his immunocompromised wife from the virus. He also shares his thoughts on life, money, the market, the FIRE movement, and cultivating peace in uncertain times.

• Paula Pant of the Afford Anything Podcast shares her thoughts on how the pandemic is affecting the housing market. Many are wondering about this: real estate investors, first-time home buyers, real estate agents, property owners, landlords…you name it, they're probably thinking about it. She also discusses where the market was before the pandemic, where it currently is, whether or not it's a good time to buy, and more. Check it out.

I hope Journal Club 5-8-20 was helpful to you.
