I’ve been listening to Afford Anything for a few years and the lessons and knowledge shared by Paula and her guest speakers sparks curiosity and gives me confidence to live a life that is on my terms. My husband and I just put an offer on our first home and we used the frameworks provided on this...Read full review »

I used to love this podcast but am finding that Paula is becoming entrenched in her worldview and transparently impatient with those who disagree. I feel this affects the quality and objectivity of her advice

I love the show, but I love the bonus shows even more.

Fun and practical love the entertainment while learning. Grateful for the podcast

I’m a creature of habits, and I tend to stick to what works for me. I came across Paula’s podcast when listening to a Bigger Pocket podcast episode, and I was intently drawn to Paula’s compelling yet clear and approachable communication style. I immediately subscribed to Afford Anything and set a...Read full review »

Thank you for making this podcast! It is the first one I have found that I can understand. I really appreciate that you are willing to break down even the most seemingly simple things for people like me who were not raised with any kind of financial intelligence. I can listen to your show without...Read full review »

I can’t thank you enough for producing such great content. I found this podcast searching for money and investing content but this is SO MUCH MORE!! There have been some interviews that I originally thought would have been of no value to me initially but Paula quickly captured my attention when...Read full review »

Caught a few episodes and just thought it didn’t have great actionable advice. Some of the guests seemed super unrealistic too, like the dude who spends $20k/month on expenses.

Paula, I love your input and commentary. Please consider doing more solo episodes of the “Ask Paula” segments. You have so much considerate and thoughtful advice to offer listeners. If I wanted to listen to Joe, I would subscribe to his show. His comments add very little value, and he...Read full review »

So I enjoy Paula for entertainment value but beware to callers seeking advice as it’s pretty basic. On Feb 21, 2024 episode a caller asked about a large lump sum and mortgage options - Paula and co host treated it so simply - refinance or brokerage - never in there did they guide the caller who...Read full review »

This is an amazing podcast on personal finance, financial independence, and life optimization with an optional side of real estate investing. As a speaker and as an interviewer, Paula is incredibly eloquent, mature, and intelligent. She has a wide variety of guests with a lot of different...Read full review »

So glad someone recommended this show to me. I’m loving every episode from learning about the world of finance to business building strategies, really well done. Thanks Paula!

I really like the ask Paula episodes that have Paula and Joe on them.
Frankie6868 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/28/23
Paula’s podcasts are excellent. But I was very motivated to leave this five star review after listening to her recent episode (Episode #476) with Mike Massimino and how Mike dealt with setbacks on his path to becoming an astronaut and afterwards his lessons on leadership in the NASA program....Read full review »

Love how this podcast gives sound advice instead of making the audience feel like they have to risk it all financially. FIVE STARS.
Patricia Barrow via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/07/23
This is definitely in my Mt. Rushmore of financial podcasts. Paula is very logical and sometimes I think she could be A.I. Haha. But never a dull episode.
Rushlow via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/05/23
I have been listening for a little over a year, but I mostly listen to older episodes because I am a newer listener considering how long this podcast has been going. I was shocked when I heard an ad for Everyplate on a newer episode. I have tried every affordable meal kit service there is and...Read full review »

I just tuned into a podcast that talked about using the value of your home to boost your finances. The talk really opened my eyes to how mixing real estate choices with our financial plans can help us out. It's super helpful, especially if you want to make the most of your money.Read full review »

I absolutely love Paula. Well researched topics and she asks on point questions. A delight to listen to.
BrownGirltoFI via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/07/23
The best podcast I’ve ever heard. If it wasn’t for the information on this podcast, I’d still be in the dark about money. This podcast has taught me everything I know about how to make better choices, have better friends, think more clearly about my life, and manage my time and investments. I...Read full review »

“You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with” is a frequently quoted Jim Rohn saying and I think that includes people from the media. Paula is an excellent digital mentor to tune into because she prodiminantly focuses on the “How” to make things happen which helps get...Read full review »

Investing made so much sense when you explained it to a 10-Year-Old. Thank you Paula and Joe. 🙌

Afford Anything is a very professionally-done podcast with a wealth of information. Paula Pant is a great host, and she is an excellent speaker with a very nice radio voice! She also is a clear thinker and uses some unique ways of problem solving and decision making.

They want you to “win.” Practical advice for normal people. I’ve learned a lot and feel inspired to keep improving my monetary habits.

Thanks Paula

Hi Paula, I just wanted to take this time to say thank you for creating this podcast. It’s what I’ve been listening to while staying up with my newborn son (not getting much sleep as of late). Previously, I would read a lot of investment and personal finance books in my free time. Listening to...Read full review »
minamahalo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/28/23
I think Joe’s answers are incomplete at best and wrong at worst. He likes to use buzz words like modern portfolio theory and Sharpe ratio. How is this actionable advice? Why not promote a three fund portfolio instead with risk appropriate allocation. He also likes to repeat that that fees aren’t...Read full review »

I started listing to this podcast for actual relevant financial advice. What is up with your most recent (yawn) episode . Wasting time talking about what to ‘name’ an anonymous caller, tangential discussions that led to nowhere, I stopped and turned this podcast off after you started launching...Read full review »

Hi, Paula and Joel, I was featured on a recent episode of Ask Paula. I am FI but hesitate to retire, and you took a good 20 minutes of airtime, walking through both the logistical and psychological impact of early retirement in my case, looking at it through several different angles. Thank you so...Read full review »

Paula was spot on about the controlling father. And this is her podcast. She’s right. Decisions aren’t just mathematical. They are emotional as well.
Andy Pgh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/27/23
Genuine and not biased. The episode about how to invest in a volatile market is very level headed and one of the best advice I have heard in a decade
malc_sf via Apple Podcasts · Malta · 05/19/23
Paula, I say this with zero exaggeration. Since I started listening to your show in 2016, you are the one person who has made the greatest impact on my financial health. I recommend your show to anybody and everybody. I wish you all the best. You have changed so many lives for the better.

Listening to Paula, Co-Host, and Guests has been immensely helpful in navigating life’s challenges. From determining ‘kill criteria’ for when to quit to addressing financial concerns associated with layoffs, I feel more confident as I approach future milestones in career and in life Thank you!!
Lee-Aid-Off via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/23
A true value-based podcast! Thanks for sharing non-fluff education about mindset and finances, Paula. From personal finance to how to handle the finance aspect of my business. Giving me a whole lot of different perspective. More power to this show and looking forward to more of your epsiodes.
YourMarketingPartner via Apple Podcasts · Philippines · 04/17/23
One of the few podcasts I’ll play for an entire road trip. Paula is a treasure and she is freely giving with her knowledge and advice. You’ll learn a lot while getting some great laughs and lessons for your own life. Shout out to Joe for the great dad jokes.
DanielaPW via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/23
I have listened to about 10 different finance podcasts and Afford Anything is the one I enjoyed the most and the only one I chose to listen to every single episode from day 1 even though the sound quality is not the best. Her show is so different than others, and every episode is wisdom and...Read full review »

Afford Anything approach to finance highlights the importance of a balance lifestyle. The podcast is more than a finance podcast and a welcome departure from the old financial model of suffering on our way to F.I.R.E.

Very entertaining and educational podcast! Afford Anything is AMAZING!
kev-bot via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/23
Paula (along with Joe on the Q&A episodes) provides entertainment while giving accurate and useful financial and life info. Highly recommend! This is NOT a boring money show!
