My Favorite Podcast

I love this podcast and look forward to hearing a new episode each week. I began my debt free journey a couple years ago and this podcast quickly became my top choice for finance podcasts. I love listening to Jen and Jill read advice from topical articles and talk about their own experiences. I also am motivated by listening to their guests amazing debt free journeys. Jen and Jill are fun and relatable and cover a variety of topics that make you feel like you can take control over your finances. Take a listen and join their Facebook community for even more support and advice.

Fun! Frugal! Friends!

Do you love fun, frugality, and friendship? Then this is the perfect podcast for you! Jen and Jill are true friends who break down finances and frugality in a way that shows they understand we're whole people. They don't talk down to the listeners and they put the "personal" in "personal finance." You won't find any one size fits all recommendations here because not everything works for everyone. But you will find practical advice for everyday situations. Love this podcast and love these girls!
