Afford Anything

You can afford anything, but not everything. We make daily decisions about how to spend money, time, energy, focus and attention – and ultimately, our life. How do we make smarter decisions? How do we think from first principles? On the surface, Afford Anything seems like a podcast about money and investing. But under the hood, this is a show about how to think critically, recognize our behavioral blind spots, and make smarter choices. We’re into the psychology of money, and we love metacognition: thinking about how to think. In some episodes, we interview world-class experts: professors, researchers, scientists, authors. In other episodes, we answer your questions, talking through decision-making frameworks and mental models. Want to learn more? Download our free book, Escape, at http://affordanything.com/escape.

Integrity, Truth, and Encompassing

This one of the absolute best financial podcasts. I continue to listen to every single episode from the very first. Subjects provide a well-balanced approach to maximizing your finances, secondary to personal fulfullment. If there is an altruistic podcast that follows a fiduciary standard, this is it. Paula prepares guest interviews with thought-provoking questions, challenging views to round out topics from about every side and angle. She answers listener questions about every other episode with former financial planner, Joe Saul-Sehy. The two form a perfect chemistry of knowledge, wit, and mild humor as they peel back the proverbial layers of the onion. These are my favorite for interactive thinking in testing and growing my own knowledge. Other podcasts deep dive into subjects such as crypto, inflation, tax and retirement strategies, real estate, human behaviors, efficient frontier, etc., not to forget the first Friday of each month that does the same for the monthly macroenconomic view at where we were and what could lie ahead. If you are looking to round out and improve your financial self, I truly believe you found it here.
I miss the old shows

Columbia grad makes good.
This is our life..
Apr 21
My number one financial podcast. Never thought of it as a mini retirement, but this is our life..work is the means to live the life we want. “Vacation“ is the priority, while of course saving aggressively for the long game retirement. Not easy but attainable. My wife now works part time, her income is the fun money, mine is the live and retirement money. 2 three week trips per year (this year 24 days via camper FL to CO,WY, SD and back. Then to Portugal in the fall) because in our 50’s we don’t want to wait to enjoy life. We can’t afford everything but we prioritize where the money goes. Keep up the great work.
