What We Spend - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Love the podcast because it helps me to know I am not the only one struggling with finances, and it helps me think more about the money we spend. One thing that I think would make this better would be a component where each person receives ideas on where to cut spending or how to save more money. Tips on lowering costs would be even more helpful to me.

This podcast follows everyday people as they do a week long diary on what they spend their income on. This is very eye opening, especially hearing what people spend compared to their yearly salary. Hearing a diverse population with different spending habits is very insightful. The more recent podcast on the truck driver and working homeless is so good at showing the great divide in America and how people who do so much to serve others can have so little opportunity to just make a living wage.

As a high school financial literacy instructor, I was immediately intrigued. I also have ADHD and find the various stories and situations to be really good background noise as I cook or drive. I also appreciate a peek into various American lives.

As a finance nerd I’m always wondering about other people’s money. How they make it, how much they make and how they spend it. I love the mix of guests on this show and unlike others I don’t think there needs to be a segment on how to be better with their money. There are lots of other podcasts for that.
