The Best Podcasts to Listen to For Money Advice
While we always recommend seeking professional advice when investing, a little extra money sense goes a long way! We've outlined some of our favourite podcasts for money advice, so you can get fast access to the answers you're after - and learn a few things along the way.
Our Favourite Podcast about Budgeting
Budgeting is an area of our finances that most of us could improve upon. Our favourite podcast that focuses (almost exclusively) on budgeting is DIY Money.
The 2 hosts, Quint and Daniel, are personable, realistic, and easy to listen to. Episodes run for about 10-15 minutes and get quickly to the point, while providing a bunch of practical tips.
Podcasts About Personal Finances
These are podcasts that cover all things personal finance. They aren't just about budgeting, or investing, or planning for retirement. They're about all those things - and more.
Moolala
These episodes are over and done with in ten minutes. You'll get financial insights and bite-sized lessons about everything from shareholder letters to how to become an entrepreneur.
Because Money
This show is hosted by two financial planners, Chris and Sandi, with John Robertson, PhD, author and investor, chiming in too (or, occasionally, tackling an episode solo!).
It covers a huge range of topics, like making ethical decisions when you can't afford them, money and parenthood, and renting vs buying. Each episode goes about about 45-50 minutes. The format is conversations between the hosts and any guests they have.
The show is currently on a hiatus, following a bit of turmoil in the hosts lives. But, there are 6 seasons' worth of content available already, so you have plenty to listen to if you love it.
