I love this podcast so much. Really informative topics, and I love that the format is conversational and not stuffy like most other finance podcasts. And they don’t claim to know everything, but plant interesting ideas that I research later that I wouldn’t have thought of myself.
LDmoneyMoves · Apr 2025
This is my absolute favorite money podcast because it combines great information with really engaging banter between the two of them, because they are best friends and you can tell their respect for each other is mutual and genuine. I just love learning from them and I always take away something useful to apply to my own financial management
Susmarine · Mar 2025
This is a great podcast for people looking to take control of their money. In general, Matt and Joel offer simple tips to improve your financial well being that are easy to understand and to follow. I have been listening to the podcast for almost six years now, and I truly believe I am in a significantly better place financially than I would be without it.
Jeff Pierce_6 · Feb 2025
I appreciate that the information and tips in this podcast are good for regular middle class people and that the advice is well rounded without ever being extreme
Jane E.B. · Jan 2025
I have listened to this podcast for a few years and have learned a lot from them that have improved my finances. I listened to their last episode with Scott Hodge and I was really disappointed. There were so many follow up questions that I audibly asked that I wished the hosts would ask. There was no challenging Scott on his takes. It felt like an ad for trickle down economics when we have concrete evidence that this has not worked, and also created a larger wealth gap. It felt very patronizing to say progressive economic plans are only well intentioned.
Some questions I wished they asked is why are costs higher for consumers and profit margins are at an all-time high even though the corporate tax rates are at an all time low? They dropped 14% in 2017 and they still found a way to push prices for their own gain.
With Scott’s tax philosophy, corporate wealth is not passed down to its employees who will keep local economies thriving. It is redistributed between the executives and shareholders to further line their pockets.
Hearing the hosts be yes men really turned me off from the podcast.
Listener of the Podcasts · Oct 2024
I appreciate this podcast for BASIC financial information but when they try to go beyond those topics, it becomes apparent that these hosts have zero formal finance or economic education. The hosts spend a fair amount of time talking about themselves and speak about current event topics purely from news media headlines without doing adequate research.
Episode 936 was pretty gross with their lackadaisical attitude about the largest employer on the U.S. (Fed government) and the impact RTO for 2.28 million people. These guys literally think Fed employees are only around DC and don’t want that commute. Telework was around and available long before COVID due to bargained union agreements. They also cited “some Senator’s report” as evidence to support their claims that telework has not been effective despite MANY studies with actual data to support the opposite. “Some Senator’s report” contained inaccurate information gathered from a self-assigned and self-reported news survey of 6,338 people. Step away from your alt right sources, don’t regurgitate propaganda, and don’t be so lazy with your research.
