Linkage: How Spotify Makes Hits Happen Now
Weekend linkfest includes some financial planning stories we should be reading on more than just weekends, as well as some interesting loan products emerging like self-refinancing mortgages, trading down payment for shared appreciation, and more on Fed rate help. My favorite is the Vulture piece that my man Rob from PopSporto sent me about how Spotify has taken over the rap game—if you’re old enough to remember Yo MTV Raps and BET’s Rap City, you’ll love this piece, and it includes a playlist you need to follow.
