  • Thank you!

    Feeling helpless about my financial situation I looked up “budgeting podcast” to find some guidance on where to start and your episode “back to the basics- budgeting” came up. I listened to your whole back to the basics series and am I’m now working my way through the rest of your episodes. I hope you guys know how meaningful the work you’re doing is. As a young adult who has no clue what she’s doing when it comes to money, and no one to ask for help or advice from, listening to you guys gives m... more

  • Useful and Personable

    I love this podcast and the energy from Quint, Allie, and Logan. Not only do they discuss relevant and useful financial information, their stories help you relate to them as a real person. Quint’s relationship with Allie reminds me of mine and one of my employees. The beginning episodes helped me build financial literacy. The later episodes dive into specific topics depending on the questions they receive. Every year they also review the basics again, which I love. Because of the podcast I have ... more

  • Meh

    The chatter is annoying. It almost feels like bro culture and I’m not here for it. I don’t care about marathons or that you gave up caffeine. Content is good, but leaving cause the chatter is annoying as humanely possible.

  • Get to the point

    I found this podcast, not as informative as it could have been. It seemed like the hosts were more interested in having a conversation and carrying on versus discussing the topic at hand. The first settlements of podcast I didn’t get on topic. I had to turn off halfway through. If you want to hear banter and not learn, this is likely podcast for you.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Changing Your Investment Funds
Q: Hey, DIY Money. This is Kanaal Patel from New Jersey. With SpaceX becoming an IPO, I've heard SpaceX is actually going to be in the NASDAQ. I'm a big investor of QQQ, XLK and VUG. I think VUG and QQQ are pretty NASDAQ based. I'm exposed to being exposed to SpaceX. I really don't believe in it. So does it make sense for me to stop investing in the NASDAQ index and solely focus on VOO?
The hosts explain that SpaceX is currently a very small portion of the NASDAQ-100 and that broad-based index exposure can still fit within a plan if the SpaceX position is kept modest. They suggest evaluating the size of the SpaceX holding relative to the whole portfolio, considering switching to a different index fund like VOO or a growth-focused option like VOOG if it aligns with risk tolerance and goals, but emphasize maintaining diversification and understanding how a single stock affects overall risk.
DIY Money Jr: Where to Start Investing
Q: I'm Annie, I just opened a brokerage account—should I focus on dividends, growth stocks, or ETFs?
Our guidance is to emphasize long-term growth through a mix: start with at least half of every dollar in broad index ETFs (like NASDAQ-100 proxies) to build a solid foundation, and allocate the other half toward a few individual stocks that reflect your interests and undergo straightforward, ongoing evaluation with parental guidance.
The DIY Money Steps
Q: What are the DIY Money steps?
The steps are: 1) track expenses, 2) build a beta budget, 3) create margin, 4) establish fast cash for small emergencies, 5) build an emergency fund for larger crises, 6) pay off debt with the debt snowball, and 7) pursue wealth creation, including retirement and other investments, with ongoing refinement and consideration of employer matches.
Traveling on a Budget
Q: How do you spend money while you're on the actual trip and before you go, to stay within budget while still enjoying the trip?
Tess asks for a system to budget for travel, and the hosts describe their approach: pre-trip budgeting, researching costs, stocking away money monthly, and then allocating on-trip spending by category (groceries, meals, lodging) while prioritizing experiences and using credit-card rewards to manage expenses without losing control.
Tools to Teach Finance
Q: What tools and resources do you recommend for teaching beginners and women how to invest, and are there free simulators or curricula you trust?
Start with foundational investing books like Buffetology and Security Analysis to understand intrinsic value and competitive advantages; pair them with practical, beginner-friendly curricula developed for high schools and colleges, and use simple tools like Google Sheets to simulate portfolios. For options, explore guided, education-focused resources (e.g., Tasty Trade) and paper-trading platforms (Thinkorswim paper money) to learn concepts without risking real money, while considering professional guidance when applying options in a real portfolio.
