Frugal Friends Podcast

This year has been financially challenging for me based on changes in my commission-based retail job. It has caused me to feel very helpless and frustrated! I recently was introduced to the podcast through another favorite- Farmhouse on Boone; and I have burning through these episodes ever since! I have learned so much behind the psychology of spending, and I feel so empowered! I have struggled in the past to spend less than I earn, because my income fluctuates month to month. But I am now headed in the right direction! I do, however, take personal offense whenever they make jabs at the ninja creami and its lack of importance in the kitchen- as it is one of my most prized possessions! But I know now that with values-based spending, that was a gadget well worth it to me! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks Jen & Jill! Love listening to you guys! 🤗

If you would have told me 5 years ago that I would be binging a podcast on finances, saving and frugality, I would have laughed in your face. But here we are, enjoying every episode, taking notes on all the juicy info (nerd alert nerd alert nerd alert!), and humming the “Bill of the Week” jingle as I’m doing housework. Jenn and Jill have excellent content and even better delivery! I’ve only been listening for a couple of months, after they were guests on another podcast I listen to (Hi, Jess Massey from Hustle Sanely!) and I’ve been binging ever since. And yes, I’ve pre-ordered their book as well and counting the days until I can dive into that! Thank you for spreading the frugal gospel with fun and positivity , providing great resources, validating good habits, and celebrating all the milestones along the way. This podcast is a game changer!

I was shocked to listen to a podcast reviewing finance books where…neither of the podcasters had even read the books they were discussing? Like what’s even the point? I may as well read a buzz feed article at that point. They also had an episode critiquing / criticizing Marie Kondo’s book and method despite not having read the book, then in a later episode admitted they were wrong and hadn’t understood the concept because they…had not actually read the book. What is the point of tuning in to a podcast to listen to speaker hypothesize about a topic where they haven’t done the most basic level of effort and research? I’ve started listening to another podcast called Money Feels, it has a similar vibe with 2 female hosts and female-focused finance topics, but the 2 hosts seem to actually know what they are talking about and at least in the episodes I’ve listened to have actually read or researched the materials they are critiquing.

Love Jen and Jill !’ The best financial podcast ever! Thank you girls for your hard work Love Jennifer
