Customer Reviews
In our house, we love “So Money”
I found “So Money” a few years ago during a time in my life where I was struggling financially. I had more than enough opportunity to grow wealth but instead ended up in debt due to poor decisions. I appreciate Farnoosh’s approachable and intentional cadence to providing financial education in a way that makes me feel seen. She is an ally to all but her episodes where she championed Black voices in the finance space resonated really well and were so sincere. In “So Money” you will learn about the tactical landscape of finance but also the emotional and psychological considerations that make the journey more meaningful. I would recommend you take a listen.
1639 money and culture
I have been listening to So Money for almost 2 years now. I’ve loved every episode, Farnoosh. However, this episode hit home with me. I may be a young white woman, but I do feel an immense amount of pressure to support my low income family. To feel guilty that I am striving for something bigger and better. And I wouldn’t have found the framework for that without Farnoosh. She reminds us that we can do it all ❤️
Best 1 stop shop for all things personal finance!
If you are looking for an amazing personal finance podcast that caters for everyone, from those who don’t know much about personal finance yet to those who consider themselves pretty knowledgeable, look no further. So money covers everything from getting started, saving, investing, debt, money psychology—to social, environmental and other societal issues impacting personal finances. A lot of the reviewers here will explain how this podcast has changed their lives, and I’d like to also add to the conversation in the hopes that my examples on how listening to this podcast has impacted my life can help you decide to listen to So Money as well.
I was moderately happy at my previous job and Episode 1147 (Ramit Sethi) helped me evaluate that job, discover where I really wanted to be in my career, gave me actionable steps on how to prepare for and ace the job search process. Then when it came time to negotiate a salary, Episode 1122 (Alexandra Carter) gave me the blueprint on how to negotiate my salary. My original offer was 40% more than I was making before, and after negotiations that rose to 53%. Now I have a job I love more than the last, where I get paid more, and have a better work-life balance.
Believe me when I say there are more episodes that have specifically made my life better, and I am confident this podcast will do the same for you. I am forever grateful I found this podcast in 2020!
