You can afford anything, but not everything. We make daily decisions about how to spend money, time, energy, focus and attention – and ultimately, our life. How do we make smarter decisions? How do we think from first principles? On the surface, Afford Anything seems like a podcast about money and investing. But under the hood, this is a show about how to think critically, recognize our behavioral... more

Excellent advice brought in an entertaining way
Paula Pant used to tell her followers (as she was selling her RE courses) that the best way to stand up to corporate landlords and slumlords was to become a small time landlord to provide safe and affordable housing. Now as long as corporations give her a platform she will abandon journalistic integrity and pop on Newsmax or anywhere that might expand her reach. Paula used to focus on creating a strong community, her podcast is now another watered down corporate voice.
Paula is, hands down, the best interviewer in podcasting. Always asking the best questions and pressing for more. Love the investment discussions most but all the shows are interesting. Keep your First Friday show please, I appreciate the recap and how it may impact my money!
Paula is an amazing educator. She breaks down concepts easily and explains without being condescending. The topics explored in her show helped us strategize our FI journey.
I used to love and praise Paula and her podcast. Sadly, I have to take a break now. It breaks my heart to see Paula defend valid criticism against appearing on Newsmax - I’m not sure why she is turning a blind eye to its journalistic flaws (look into it - anyone can probably agree it is not great for our society to have biased propaganda disguised as journalism; Newsmax reeks of “Our Dear Leader”).
I hope this was just a one time error in judgment - maybe to achieve more fame and notoriety? ... more
