Debt Free in 30

I look forward to each weeks episode and learn something new each time.

First, the positives. It is great to have financial advice content that is by Canadians for Canadians, and the hosts seem to have a lot of experience in this area. For me, the hosts are very stuck in a time when the financial landscape looked very different. The hosts are insistent that neither traditional budgeting nor modern budgeting methods work, that they are “old guys from the 80s” and use phrases like “back in my day” and “on the interwebs”. I’m sure this is appealing to a particular demographic, but to me it is condescending at best and tone-deaf at worst. I had to unfollow the show as the content was becoming very repetitive and did not fit what the modern Canadian 35 and under is looking for. As an alternative I recommend Jessica Moorhouse or Bruce Sellery as Canadian voices in this area.

I have been listening to this for years. I enjoy every episode regardless of the topic. It has helped me stay focused on my goal of paying off my debt. In 2021 I got to talk to Doug Hoyes himself! He heard my story and gave me free advise. I took that advice and was able to pay of $18000 in debt within 3 years. I used any extra money I got from overtime and side jobs. I got my spending habits under control, use a budget and have all my payments on auto pay. Not everyone will have the same success as I did. But listening to this podcast weekly keeps you focused and motivated. They are realistic in what people are going through. Thank you Doug & Ted.

I have been listening to this podcast religiously the last few months. I love that everything is relevant to Canada and I can’t wait to use these strategies to become debt free and manage my money better going forward
