Customer Reviews
Real finance info for real families
I have tried for years to become more fiscally aware but had never been able to find someone who could explain it in an interesting, and concise manner. Megan breaks it down in a way that just makes sense. Her podcasts always have knowledgable panels that help deep dive into one specific issue. The information she provides is perfect for families and always seems relevant to today’s issues. Thanks, Megan!
Concise Info for Actual Real People
This podcast has information for real American consumers. I’ve periodically tried to watch CNBC and Fox business news to try to understand what’s going on with the market and our economy, but those are so dry and seem to be geared towards high rollers and folks within the finance industry. This is understandable, applies to our real life situations, and respects your time with it’s weekly forty-five minutes to an hour format. It’s definitely been worth adding to my podcast rotation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Easy to Digest
My go-to finance explanation! Meghan breaks down complex topics so that I can understand them while balancing that busy mom life.
