Customer Reviews
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?
Informative and entertaining
Nice balance between quality info and entertainment
