“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...”Read full review »

“I’ve never heard so much passive aggressiveness in a podcast. I do a Ramsey hybrid with the Money Guys. These two are sickening. The constant reference to Ramsey as an “elderly white man”. He’s 63. These two really offer next to nothing as far as any insightful information for personal...”Read full review »

“So far, I have gleaned some motivation and ideas from your topics, but you miss the mark on car buying. The suggestion to use AAA is great. But your knowledge of car buying is weak and based on your boyfriend/husband’s ability to support your ownership and purchasing choices. Your reaction to the...”Read full review »

“Could barely get through one episode. The first 10 mins or so of a minimalist episode was fluff, “Ums” and “likes”. Super basic info, it sounds like the hosts don’t practice minimalism or if they do, are not very educated on the subject. I think the main pain point was the tone / diction used -...”Read full review »

“I have twice reported the abusive business practices of Leslie Tayne and her company Tayne Law group. They have not taken down the episode. This either means they were paid to have her on as a guest or do not take reports from listeners seriously. Take what you learn here with a grain of salt.”
