Customer Reviews
Raw and real, love listening in!
I think Two Sides of Fi is so much more personal than most other podcasts and shows on the topic! If one is looking for practical financial advice, especially in accumulation, it's "pretty simple". You won't get much variety there after the same few points (invest for long term etc etc). But for actually preparing to and post pulling the trigger, the devil is in the details! Making the leap from FI into the R part of RE (whether E or not) is all about nuance! Even for those who crave simplicity, I think the fact of the matter is that most folks will find it much more complicated to get ducks in order to actually live off the pile when it's time. And that's where I think Eric and Jason really add a lot of value to the space. It's raw, it's real, all about not only dealing with the numbers (which you do!) but also the human side of --- ahhhhh drawdown 🔥 and how to navigate that. And I love the back and forth. You two have such a fun and engaging energy when you chat, its fun to watch/listen just for that. Feels like listening in on a conversation that would normally only happen behind doors. Thank you for doing what you do... I think you bring something very special to the FIRE conversation! I look forward to every new episode.
Good mix of practical and emotional
Eric and Jason do a great job of discussing the practical and emotional aspects of financial independence. They seem like regular guys that I’d be happy to get a beer with, and I appreciate their willingness to be open and discuss the things they think about and worry about. I have been watching their YouTube videos for more than a year but wanted to leave a review here because I think this podcast adds a lot of value to the FI discussion. Thanks a lot for what you do.
Short on details, lots of vague fluff.
Like so many FI podcasts out there, this one has a fair number of nuggets of good info surrounded by a whole lot of vague, repetitive, sometimes even rambling filler. I totally get why the hosts don’t want to share their own personal FI $ number and a few other details, and I do appreciate hearing the aspects the host’s specific journies they choose to share, but to be so wishy-washy about things like more specific investments and asset allocations they’re in just makes this podcast “nothing special”. Listeners can handle hearing investment details and still know it’s ultimately their own decision to make. I’ve listened to most of the episodes, but at this point I’m not hearing anything new or informative. Moving on.
