Good Tips on a Variety of Financial Topics
There is great diversity in the episode topics, which allows for a larger audience to take advantage of hearing ideas on how to, well, have a wiser environment. I enjoyed listening to the episode about charitable contributions and how to maximize those at the necessary times.
Great weekly listen
The Wiser team does a great job each week with relative content.
Sadness
I’m so sad to know that there is a podcast advocating for Wall Street as the retirement preference. Stocks, bonds—401ks, IRAs,equity funds—they all benefit the big business and harm the individual. I believe the hosts want to help listeners, but I also believe the hosts make money off their investors and because of that they fail to see how Wall Street harms their clients.
