- The Budget Nerds Rock!
Budget Nerds is a super thoughtful, well-produced podcast about managing personal finances. There’s some big-picture concept discussions, some nitty-gritty tactics, some inspirational stories and ideas, plus some cool stuff like going through guests’ budgets in-depth to see how other people do things. I’ve been listening since the beginning and got to meet Ben & Ernie at YNAB Fan Fest in NYC. 100% recommend!

Apple Podcasts5JdbeckskiUnited Statesa year ago - Like but kind of limited in what you can cover
I like both hosts and they explain things well. Easy to follow and keep subscribed but wish the YNAB team could come up with more creative topics or a new format.
