Homeschooling encouragement

The episodes on investing in your children’s education has been very insightful and encouraging. I already had many of the ideas and practices in place that are mentioned, but it is always good to be reminded of what I’m doing and why and re-evaluate to see if I’m truly hitting or on the course to hit the targets we’ve set.

The only *major* thing lacking IMO is show notes! That took my review down to 4 stars.

More homeschooling shows

This show felt a bit irrelevant to me until the homeschool series. Living internationally? We are over here trying to afford a simple homeschooling lifestyle on one income and wondering if we are doing the wrong thing financially because everyone around us is dual income.

I’m still not sure if we are doing it correctly financially, but the homeschooling series has been so insightful and is a topic no one else in the financial world is addressing. I LOVED the most recent episode enough to come rate the show.

Thank you for your insight!

Host is too full of himself

It’s clear that the host is way too full of himself. In Q&A episodes, a caller asks a question and then the host mutes the caller and attempts to say as much about the general topic as possible to make himself sound smart, but he often doesn’t even answer the question.

The show is supposed to be about gaining financial independence quickly, but discusses everything but that.

Recently, the show turned into constant pressure to buy the host’s online courses on topics that he doesn’t seem to be an expert on.
