  • Happy 100 Episode!

    Love listening to your podcast and enjoyed parallel play with Liz gets Loaded. Congratulations on episode 100 ! Retiring early was such a gift for us. Hubby and I both retired early, sold our huge home and built a smaller retirement home in Florida. Traveling was our main reason for early retirement and lifting weights together often! @casa_kennington

  • Meh

    I want to like this podcast. There is good info but if you want to sell your entire kids childhood so you can retire early, take no joy in spending on things like fitness, concerts, good food, then this is for you. She has retired and still doesn’t want to invest in her health; fun, etc. I wouldn’t wish this life on anyone.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 85 - Listener Questions, Answered!
Q: What are your thoughts on setting up taxable brokerages and Roth IRAs for kids?
It's a great idea to set up Roth IRAs as soon as kids have earned income. Taxable brokerages can foster investment habits but consider their impact on future financial aid.
Ep. 85 - Listener Questions, Answered!
Q: Do you suggest allowances so they learn about earning and then paying off the card every week or month?
There are varying opinions on allowances, but having a regular amount can help kids learn budgeting and responsibility.
Ep. 80 - Joyful Planning with Sarah Hart Unger, author of Best Laid Plans
Q: Can you tell us, starting high level, what is your system? If people are interested in planning their lives better, where can they start?
Sarah's planning system consists of three key elements: a reliable calendar for appointments, an airtight task management system to capture all tasks and responsibilities, and a nested goal-setting process that breaks down larger goals into manageable pieces for daily execution.
Ep. 80 - Joyful Planning with Sarah Hart Unger, author of Best Laid Plans
Q: Can you tell us why is planning important? How does it actually not just become a boring thing that you have to do, but how can it become a joyful thing that lets you, you know, do more?
Planning is important because it allows individuals to structure their time intentionally, align their daily tasks with larger life goals, and ultimately makes living more manageable and fulfilling. When integrated thoughtfully, planning can enhance joy and reduce chaos, leading to a more satisfying life experience.
Ep. 59 - A Listener Money Story: Jennifer, a 31-Year-Old Scottish Veterinarian
