And here are this week’s lineups… 1000 Days Without A Paycheck (Mr. Tako Escapes) “Just like learning to swim, you fear the water until you’re experienced enough to know that you won’t drown. It takes time and practice to become a good swimmer, and feeling comfortable with financial independence is like that too. You have…
