Customer Reviews
Episode 277
We have an allowance based budgeting, fixed amount every month. 100% joint account, it's taken the burden of bills out of us individually. We are saving more money, funded by our joint account. My husband was not on board right away, but he is no longer in debt and he appreciates my spreadsheets 😂. I talk about it as often as we can and keep him in the loop.
You’re a joke.
Imagine a podcast about money by men where they call themselves “clever boys.”
Too much laughter
Just wish she would cut 95% of nervous laughter out of each show. I would definitely listen more if edited out…
