I’m sorry I found this podcast after it stopped. It is so awesome. The casual conversation nature of this podcast comes across as a very caring relationship between two friends I would want to be friends with. The information in this podcast is very clear and helpful. Actual take actionable...Read full review »

Hi Folks, I stumbled on your show somehow, and I really enjoy it. As a parent to two young children, researching college, I appreciated your episode on dual enrollment. It sounds like a good idea, but I was surprised to hear your brother wouldn’t do it again. What is the realistic view that I...Read full review »

Started listing to the podcast a month or so ago. Love the information and find Maggie’s context hilarious. ( No shade though, because I also give to much context )

Hi Maggie and Mike, I made the decision to retire last year at age 54. My daughter is so proud and first introduced me to the concepts of the FIRE movement! My financial advisor had been telling me since before COVID that I had enough money to retire but I found it emotionally difficult to pull...Read full review »

Thanks for this great podcast. I love Mike and Maggie and their contrasting styles. I would like to see Mike and Maggie acknowledge their privilege more. On an episode about saving to retire early, they were like, save 75% of your income. Easier to do on a higher salary and living under your...Read full review »

My wife and I have been binging Friends on Fire and it’s totally inspired Im us to take control of our finances. Love the rapport, love the wisdom, love the empowerment!
CaseyHeacockWhite via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/11/23
A great, relatable finance podcast. I look forward to a new episode every week. Even from Australia where the healthcare and retirement set up is different, I can glean concepts and attitudes from the episodes with a US focus. Love the contrasting approaches and personalities of Mike and Maggie.

This is my favorite podcast, thank you so much Maggie and Mike! I have been interested in financial freedom for a long time but now I’m motivated to retire and now planning to do so in a few months.

Maggie and Mike are next level excellent. I especially love that Maggie isn’t as far along in her FIRE journey as Mike, even though she’s successfully retired early and has achieved her many of her goals. It makes for a very relatable, actionable podcast that feels fun and also extremely useful...Read full review »

Really great podcast with actionable knowledge on all things finance and money. Love that the hosts have different opinions and life experiences, it gives the information and advice a lot of depth.
viennamf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/23
Been listening since almost the beginning! Love the timeliness and relevancy to their topics. They have helped us tackle some of our financial “to-dos” by just bringing the topic up on the podcast.

Love this show!! Mike and Maggie are fun to listen to. They provide great insight and advice in an approachable conversation style podcast. Highly recommend.

I listen to this podcast every Monday morning as part of my ritual. I love how spot on the topics are. Maggie and Mike are super open about their perspectives, experiences and finances. I am always interested in Maggie’s perspective as she says what no-one else will say, is unfiltered and very...Read full review »

Great for FI while enjoying your current careers and raising children. Hosts share same principled mission from two different styles/personalities.
FamilyFI via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/01/23
I listen to A LOT of FI podcasts, and I put Friends on Fire in the top tier. They keep it real, share personal examples, and are a fun listen. While great friends, Maggie &amp; Mike are very different, so it makes them the perfect yin &amp; yang of FI. My two favorite things are hearing about...Read full review »

Maggie and Mike make conversations about money fun and educational. They give real world examples and tips that you can go act one. Very helpful!

Oh I love this podcast. My husband and I both listen to it at different times so we can talk about it! we have been doing fire for almost a year and a half now and were kind of getting bored with our other podcast until we found this one. We also live in Georgia so it’s great that we kind of know...Read full review »

I love how they both offer real life experience both on the financial and mental level. It’s great to hear success stories and how they have dealt with their financial situations. They are not selling anything nor are they promoted by anyone, just real sound advice.
salvi858 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/20/22
I love Maggie and Mike’s banter back and forth. They give great tips on how to work on your finances (savings, investments, etc) and make it easy to understand. Thank you for this great podcast

Bonequinha0628 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/28/22
I stumbled across friends on FIRE in 2020 and my toddler daughter and I have enjoyed every episode driving around the UK. Mike and Maggie bring a wealth of ideas and experience of “the path less travelled” with practical tips and clear explanations. The podcast is light hearted with great...Read full review »

I’m a millennial working towards getting out of student debt and building up my EF.

I did want to...Read full review »

What a great podcast with real people who are actually Firing (one of the hosts fires in the 2022 episodes). Also, they aren’t the classic super frugal FIRE people who live what I consider an unrealistic life. They have real expenses and kids and deal with health insurance issues like more normal...Read full review »
