Customer Reviews
Great
Great bite-sized pod with super practical financial advice.
Retirement
This topic was a very low level information session. So many broad statements made which offer little to no effective retirement strategies.
Great content!
Really enjoying the friends with money podcast. Excellent relevant information. It’s helping me on my journey to become financially educated!
