“Ok, I appreciate the fact that a lot of people will benefit from these helpful hints. Here are the reasons why I’m having a hard time loving this podcast:
-At first glance it seems that the host is rounding up the best finance info on the internet; but in the end it just sounds like a random reflection of the same endless ocean of blockers that we all wade through on the internet. I’d like advice from true experts; not just an audio version of a google search which I can do myself.
-If I were the host, I would be more selective in what blogs I choose. Some of the blogs are incredibly basic (how to organize, how to budget), or just outdated (the advantages of autopay vs writing checks). Some of the blogs are too self-indulgent to be of any interest to me (how to budget for a puppy or a special needs adoption). Some of the blogs are just plain bad advice (dollar cost averaging is a lie perpetuated by charlatans — this blogger seems like a day trader who’s advice is biased to sell you his financial services, or trying to get attention with click bait; there’s plenty of research to support dollar cost averaging, and it’s a sound strategy for the vast majority of investors with a long time horizon).
-8 minute episodes seem more fitting for people with ADD. I appreciate the quick pace for people on the go; but getting through a large number of episodes results in too much clicking.”
