Customer Reviews
easy understanding
I have learned so much from this podcast and it is truly empowering. I honestly knew nothing about the stock market and budgeting but this podcast had made understanding so simple. Also, there’s not a lot of fluff within the podcast which i love! It’s straight to the point and very informative. I would recommend this podcast to anyone who’s just starting their journey with the stock market or just finances in general.
Actionable Episodes
I’ve listened to what feels like hundreds of podcasts about FIRE. And recently tons of them have felt like filler content. Fluff pieces about side hustles that aren’t worth your time or hypothetical habits that should help you grow your wealth. This podcast is the complete opposite Priya gives you tangible steps for improve your portfolio and help you understand your true FIRE number. I’m obsessed with the detail and can’t wait for follow her journey to financial freedom.
Worthy and educational podcast
This is a really good podcast for any woman ready to stick their toes in to investing on their own and not just through say a company 401k. So, YOU are steering the ship. Priya breaks the subject matter down into easy to understand segments. She also does her best to translate the info as necessary to the US market but really, it’s all similar lingo. The one aspect which prevented me from giving it a 5-star rating is that Priya will make statements about ‘being stuck behind a desk and telling your boss to stick it’ -this is paraphrased. I love my job -and it’s not perfect but I love it. I’m an architect and have expect to keep working as an architect part-time throughout retirement. I also just want to start investing on my own. Aside from that one small shortfall (in my opinion), Priya nails it.
