In this re-run episode, Jen and Jill talk about the 5Rs of waste management and zero-waste living, aiding our self-sufficiency and problem-solving skills.

I thought I’ve heard it all

But I am loving the tips and new frugality tips I’m learning. I especially love the food and meal planning tips, which is my hardest. Also the resell and eBay’s tips, thank you! Great distinction between cheap and frugal. Keep going!
** adding to my review after listening for many more months since my first review. This distinctive frugal mindset has helped us really prioritize how we are spending money, and for me has given me permission to buy some things I really do value, but might have talked myself out of before. Thank you!

Great for people in non-traditional lives

We live in Asia and can’t relate to most financial podcasts. We have no desire or ability to own a home for example. This podcast is so practical, and helps you to evaluate your own values and goals and then take practical and attainable steps. Thank you so much!

Doubled my money!

After listening to you for months, out of curiosity in how real women handle money, I was motivated to make a change. I opened a savings with CIT, through your link. I started with an $8,000 deposit (everything I had) and in 2 months I have doubled my savings! I have used MANY of your helpful tips to get there. I couldn’t have done it without you two. Each listen feels like girlfriends rallying me on and guiding me through. You are a life changer for me! I thank you, … and I think my husband thanks you even more!
