Greg joins this week's podcast, and we share why and how we’re migrating our investments from Wealthfront to Fidelity, which will save us $20K+ in fees over the next ten years.

Customer Reviews
Great down to earth podcast
Maggie always does a great job putting together valuable information in an easy and entertaining way! Love the guest format. Has really helped me with my own FIRE journey. Looking forward to what she’ll do next.
ADHD Friendly
As a fellow Emory Alum and ADHDer I especially enjoyed Maggie’s cadence and energy. I was drawn to Inside Out Money by a similarity between the post-retirement and laid-off stages of life and hope to use the eight lessons from episode 56 to find more meaning in my life while job searching.
Worth the listen!
I love this podcast! This last episode especially about comparison really hit the nail on the head! I can’t believe how much time people (myself included) waste comparing their lives to others, just DON’T do it! Removing the temptation from social media is a perfect start that they suggested in this podcast episode.
