Catching Up to FI is my favorite FI podcast! It’s so relatable and encouraging. Wherever you are on the FI journey, Jackie and Bill make financial independence feel attainable. Their personalities and approaches complement each other beautifully, and I always come away amused, enlightened, and inspired.
This show has been full of actionable information, which is why I prefer it to all the other FI & planning podcasts that I’ve tried. I love the inspirational & storytelling aspects of it, but hearing concrete info is why I like it so much. Bill & Becky are very welcoming & make it feel like a community, even just as a listener to the podcast. Thank you Becky for the last year- we will all miss you! Looking forward to the next iteration of the podcast.

I have been listening to Jackie and Bill for a little over a year now. I am a teacher who is getting close to retirement and they have such wonderful things and guess on their podcast since they were both late starters. I love this episode about the women’s retreats and hopefully I’ll be able to attend a couple. Thank you, Jackie and Bell for all you do.
I find the show topics good but Bill continues to talk more and more. I find that he speaks 85% of the time compared to 10% for the guest and 5% forJackie. Please just ask better questions and let your guest answer. It will make for a much better podcast.
Bill and Jackie have built a fantastic platform for education on financial independence!!! Content so relative 🎉
