Customer Reviews
Great perspective and information!
I was researching the FIRE movement and saw a criticism of it is that it can be homegenous and bro-ey. An answer to that issue was Journey to Launch. It’s great. She asks the right questions, makes it easy to jump right in, and has great guests and topics. Check out her free jump start guide.
Jamila is the BEST
This show is one of the most educational shows I’ve listened to in the realm of personal finance. There are so many shows that tell you how to save, invest, 401k, and that’s it. Jamila teaches about important things like generational wealth, work life balance, family finance, and so much more with her guests that I wouldn’t have known about if not for this show.
Great interview!
Came across the interview with Sam @ Financial Samurai - loved it thanks! Great dialogue. I’ve followed Sam for a long time and have always appreciated how he keeps it real with everything finance and also has a great sense of humor. Buy This Not That is the best personal finance book I’ve read by far and I rarely praise pf books. It’s truly a solid book to reference over and over again. Thanks for hosting!
