Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 485 ratings
  • Advice good and bad

    Good show, will keep listening, like the calls and some of the advice.

    Terrible advice around borrowing from 401k’s…. On a specific call gave rationale that parent plus loans are 9%… didn’t mention if there are penalties from borrowing from retirement… or the loss of future growth… or the tax impact from pulling the money out… how about recommending neither option

    And advice about keeping mortgages… not terrible advice but bad

  • Disappointed

    After prompting a recent podcast of Jill’s it was proceeded by an advertisement by a Planned Parenthood hood spot or as I prefer to more accurately name them “legal infanticide” I CANNOT AND NEVER EVER follow or listen to one more podcast from Jill!

    Instant unfollow!
