Raise your hand if you want 2021 to be DIFFERENT than 2020. Same.

For budgeting & financial advice for Families: “Marriage, Kids and Money“

Everybody knows that kids add a wrinkle to your budget.

For financial success: ”The Stacking Benjamins”

Broadcasting live from his mom’s basement since 2012, Joe Saul-Sehy – a former financial advisor – is one of those people who seem to have money figured out. Financial literacy is key for building wealth, savings, investing and a better future, overall. 

Fun financial conversations exist! So grab a cup of joe and start taking notes! The best thing about it: the hosts play around and actually share common money mistakes and how to avoid them (or bounce back from them), making it really easy to relate or to learn from the experts. 

For the best deals out there: The Cheapskate Show Podcast

Whenever Rick rings the bargain alarm, the rest of us follow. It’s especially helpful to follow his advice around major holidays and shopping sprees – like Back to School or Black Friday season.
