Great Financial Podcasts For Families
House of FI
Wendy and Curt, a dynamic couple living in California with their six children, host the House of FI podcast. Their podcast shows you how to strategically pay off debt and save money – even with a big family.
What I love about the House of FI podcast is all the practical advice for families that the couple shares. The chemistry between the pair is undeniable and it is impressive how they successfully balance (blog, podcast, courses, big family, etc.) their life.
This is a great financial podcast for people with families who are focused on financial independence.
His & Her Money Show
If you want to get your money in order this year, this is one of the best financial podcasts for you. Talaat and Tai McNeely are two high school sweethearts with a true passion for teaching and helping others. The His & Her Money show focuses on ‘money, marriage and everything in between’ making it a great podcast for families of all sizes.
The McNeely’s show couples how to effectively work together in order to gain control of their finances and get on the same financial track. They also share tips and advice for building wealth and saving money.
One of the highlights of the His & Her Money show is the guest interviews that are a part of their ‘Debt Pay Off’ series. In these episodes, guests from all walks of life share the various steps of how they were able to pay off their debt.
Guests also share which hustles and methods were most effective to become debt free and inspire others to take on their debt. Talk about inspirational!
Great Financial Podcasts For Financial Independence:
FIRE (financial independence, retire early) is more than just a passing trend, the movement is here to stay. If the thought of gaining financial independence or retiring before the traditional retirement age peaks your interest, you will love these FIRE podcasts.
FireDrill Podcast
I really credit Julie from the FireDrill podcast for giving me the inspiration to delve deeper into the world of Etsy and finally get my blog in gear. Julie is a serial entrepreneur and all around bad ass. She works full time in tech and one of her (many) side hustles is this amazing and informative podcast.
What I love about the FireDrill podcast are the interviews with all the diverse guests at various stages of their financial independence journey. If you love talking about financial independence, side hustles and optimization, then this is the podcast for you.
Choose FI
The ChooseFI podcast has truly helped fuel the FIRE movement. Hosts Brad and Johnathan cover a wide range of FIRE topics and share practical and proven tactics to help you reach your financial independence goals.
These guys are all about the pillars of FI and determining what things/events/experiences add value to your life and alternatively what can be let go.
Journey To Launch
Jamila is a Jamaican born and Brooklyn-raised personal finance expert and certified financial education instructor (CFEI).
Jamila was one of the earlier Black voices in the Financial Independence space speaking candidly about the assumptions in the movement and the barriers that some communities undoubtedly face.
Jamila’s podcast (and larger Journeyers community) seeks to help you eliminate debt, save more money and increase your net worth. If you are looking for quality information from diverse voices in the FI space, take a listen to the Journey To Launch podcast.
Afford Anything
Paula Pant is a true expert in the field of FI and offers much more than solid real estate advice. Hands down, the Afford Anything website is one of my favorite places on the internet.
Paula writing style is inspirational and it honestly seems like you are having a conversation with her in person.
The Afford Anything podcast has the same energy. Paula brings on leaders from all walks of life to share their take on how you can, ‘make smarter decisions about your money, time and life’.
Best Podcast for Millennial Listeners:
Are you a millennial looking for informative yet relatable content? Look no further.
Paychecks and Balances
These are hands down my ABSOLUTE favorite hosts. I’ve listened to every episode of Paychecks & Balances and even got my review read on an episode of their show. (The entire episode with Gaby Dunn is great, my review can be found at the 53:51 minute mark).
These two ‘senior millennials’ helps us navigate the work life balance by leading by example. They are not afraid to show us where they are in their journey and to share what tactics have worked for them in the past.
They also bring on a wide range of guests to help equip the audience with comprehensive financial knowledge. Certainly an informative good time, the Paychecks and Balances podcast is not one to be missed.
