I have no words

This podcast is truly awesome. This is my go to personal finance podcast even though I live in the UK and we don’t have the same financial products / legislation.

The principles that are discussed are sound and the team covers varied and interesting topics. Thanks for the regular shows and providing a safe space for us money nerds. Keep up the good work guys!

Loving this!

This podcast has been a life saver while I’m stuck on a monotonous and repetitive project at work. Having this as background noise is keeping me sane.
If I gave it 100% of my attention, I might even learn something...then again, probably not. But it makes me chuckle every so often, so that’s something.
Great guests and content. I even find it accessible even though I’m not from the US.
Was this review nice enough to get me put on the fridge?
