  • A Safe Space to Open the Quarterly Statement You’re Afraid of, in the Form of a Podcast

    I really, really, like this podcast. Caitlin is exceptionally good at identifying financial terms and topics (mutual funds, bonds, inflation) that could be glossed over but really need to be unpacked. And Sara is so clear and deliberate in how she breaks down all of her expertise (from ibonds, to the bear market, to how to save for college). Both are really good about anticipating and acknowledging the obstacles/fears/anxieties people (especially women!) have to fully understanding and taking ... more

  • Giving me more financial confidence

    This show is giving me more financial confidence. I appreciate how the hosts will clarify the situation and responses multiple ways and from layperson understandings. Many financial lessons will build on past ones so it honestly feels good when I understand what they are talking about. I also can identify with Caitlin, who is the layperson learner, she doesn’t have thousands to invest so she gets excited about reasonable investment amounts.

  • Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge!

    I’ve been going to in-person Austin Women Investing Group events where I learned about this podcast.

    Caitlin, Kacie, and Sara are great hosts and they make finance knowledge easy to understand. The podcast gives me knowledge about the things I thought I knew already. Hope there will be more guests with other areas of expertise and more intermediate level topics.

    If you haven’t been to Austin Women Investing Group events, you can find the recordings on YouTube!

  • They’re back!

    I was so excited to see they were back with a new episode I sent a screen shot to my sister with the caption Best Day Ever! This is such a great podcast to take what seems like confusing advice or information and make it easy for the everyday person to understand. Plus they are just fun to listen to. Can we be friends? I’ve recommended them to all my friends to listen to. I can’t wait to see what the future episodes feature this season.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Season 4, Episode 5: Too Much Stuff?
Q: What do you think is the very first step that people should take when they realize they're at that point of overwhelm and they really want to make a change?
Decide why you want to declutter your home, identifying a compelling reason behind it, and then identify a local place for donation to remove excess clutter effectively.
Season 4, Episode 4: WTF is an estate plan?
Q: What is an estate plan? How does it function?
An estate plan consists of legal documents that address various situations, be it incapacity, emergency, or death. It includes powers of attorney for financial and medical decisions, a Declaration of Guardian for minor children, and directives regarding life support preferences.
Season 4, Episode 1: Travel Hacking with Credit Card Points
Q: Is it best to hold onto points for a big trip or redeem them as fast as possible?
As a general rule, it's advisable to spend points quickly to avoid depreciation in value, especially for specific hotel or airline points.
Season 4, Episode 1: Travel Hacking with Credit Card Points
Q: How do you decide when to redeem points or miles?
The general rule is 'earn and burn'; it's better to spend them while their value is relatively stable, especially since point values often decrease over time.
Season 4, Episode 1: Travel Hacking with Credit Card Points
Q: Is the dollar price of those tickets also fluctuating that much?
Yes, the pricing system for points and dollar tickets is complex; airlines set their own rates, and these can vary independently.
