  • This podcast is awesome! I was looking for something to teach me a little more about personal finance/investing since I knew practically nothing about it. I had a financial advisor who I was not impressed with, and I wanted to start taking control of my own money. This podcast helped me with that and so much more since investing is just one small part of their content. These guys aren't trying to sell you any gimmicks or claim to have this one magic thing that will make you rich. They are just two knowledgeable dudes with quality guests that are helping to outline a different way of thinking. It has opened me up to the FI community, and I have since read through the blogs of Mr. Money Mustache, the Mad Fientist, J.L. Collins, etc. Keep up the good work guys! The FIRE is spreading!
