Just what we needed

I love how this show gives us a glimpse into how every day people spend their money. And Courtney has the most soothing voice and comforting presence as a host. So glad this thoughtful and necessary show exists.

This is my new favorite podcast. The concept is so original and thought provoking yet it’s about a subject everyone thinks about, everyday. The host, Courtney Harrell, has an amazing way of asking great questions that go deeper but also without any judgement. I hope this podcast has 100’s of more episodes.
A concept we should discuss more

I don’t see why we can’t discuss finances more. It is refreshing to hear others’ take on how they navigate our current society and shed light on various socioeconomic statuses.
Lack of focus

The RMK

The concept of a deep dive into personal financial decisions of a wide range of financial situations is extremely promising. Unfortunately somewhere along the way this has taken on a fixation with lower socioeconomic conditions and advocacy. I wish the content was split into two separate Podcasts.
