Really appreciate the friendly and clear approach to a very complicated and important subject. Our financial control and freedom is not an easy path to follow but y’all do a great job giving us some understanding and peace of mind on decisions that impact my family’s future. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and care with us!

I listen to several financial podcasts, and I find Scott and Meg’s style very informative, in that they break things down into relevant concepts, without dumbing it down. I anticipate both those who have fairly basic grasp of finances to those who are more sophisticated in their understanding will find useful insights and perspective. Their discussions are grounded in the context of financial decision-making, rather than just specific tactics. In other words, you’ll enjoy this podcast if you want to understand the big picture — the “why” and the “what” you are trying to achieve, as a means to approach the “how”. Highly recommend.

fire 🔥🔥🔥

I enjoyed the podcast. I liked that it was just one topic each week. It made it easy to know what a give show would cover and not miss out on gems. Other shows cover multiple topics and they cover the same topic multiple times and become repetitive.

I’ve listened to all the episodes- some more than once. I know I’ll come back to review. Thank you so much for sharing your time and wisdom! You made a real difference in peoples’ lives.

I’ve been listening to several personal finance podcasts and this is one of my favorites. The episodes hit the sweet spot of being informative without being too long. Great job!

Scott and James have helped me understand my financial life and goals so much better. Their show is fantastic and I absolutely love that they aren’t selling anything. They are just trying to help people. Thank you both so much!

My favorite podcast, found out about two months ago and have been binging, learned so much

Everything is broken down nicely into easy to understand points. Especially great for those who live in areas that are costly.

….the music is horrible

A lot of personal finance podcasts drag on these days. This is a great podcast with a broad spectrum of topics, and the hosts efficiently break down the questions and provide answers!

These guys break basic finances for a 30 year old down in easy to understand ways. Great topics too

Do you have any episodes about investing in Gold? I recently heard about a product called “Goldbacks” and I wanted to learn more about it

I enjoy the delivery of this podcast as I am older and not at all versed in my finances. You both break things down nicely. I look forward to more information around those who are behind and working to retire comfortably.

Sometimes more nuanced than I need, but James and Scott deliver great info and the show brings a lot of value. Thank you gentlemen!

I listen to several personal finance podcasts, but this one is by far my favorite. Scott and James do a great job of simplifying the information, while still addressing nuance and incorporating humor. My only complaint is having to wait a week between episodes!

Scott and James have consistently poured out their knowledge for the general public to learn about how to better their lives through their finances. The value they provide is immense and this show is so under appreciated! Their mission to educate the populate and promote financial literacy is clear in every episode, no ads, no sponsors, just good honest people.

Recently started listening from the beginning and I’ve found their episodes informative and relevant. My wife and I are working to pay off debt, save for retirement and eventually buy a home. This podcast is helping me consider different ways to approach these financial goals based on what’s important to us.

Simple and unbiased personal finance info. Beyond thankful for taking such a complex world and making it easier and less stressful. While I love your goal to end the podcast, please keep going!

It’s hard to find personal finance podcasts that go beyond the basics AND present accurate and reliable information. This podcast is it!! Thank you and keep up the amazing work!

Excellent perspective on financial planning in a clear and understandable way. Keep it up!

Just added this podcast to my rotation and it’s already one of my favorites. Easy to understand and vital information.

This is a must-listen podcast for anyone seeking to increase their financial literacy. Extremely accessible for beginners.

Really great podcast that touches on tangible financial advice that everyone needs to know - these guys are great!

This is a great podcast with well-delivered and concise content. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to strengthen their financial literacy. Thank you both for everything that you do!

Great subject matter, and offered in concise manner. Learning a lot!

Scott and James, you guys are great! Thank you for taking the time to do this week in and week out. And happy toddler 2 year birthday! Not that what I do matters...but I've listened to every episode (all 113 to date) and truly find the content instantly relatable, non-judgmental, and completely necessary for everyone with a dollar to employ. Keep it up, guys!

A refreshingly straightforward way to learn more about all the considerations in personal finance. Thanks for the great work!

This podcast has really helped me up my financial knowledge this past year. Having this podcast in my playlist ensures that I can continually learn without having to put in any work. The hosts seem like really great, caring people. Yay!

I recently started listening to this podcast and I’ve been binging several episodes in a row! However, one of the things I really like is the shorter format where they address one main topic each episode. James and Scott have a great rapport; they each offer insights and they thoroughly review each topic to look at the question in a variety of ways. I feel pretty confident in my own financial knowledge but their viewpoints have allowed me to evaluate my own decisions and made me think having a financial planner could be of value. I think this is a great podcast for anyone who is just getting started on up to someone who is already on a strong financial path.

Love listening! Would love to have you guys on our podcast Getting Money Right to expose our audience to your content. Keep up the great work!

This podcast is great. I especially enjoyed episode 90 and realized I need a plan for my RSUs. Overall always enjoy listening and learning

I love how short and to the point the episodes are. They don’t just talk to talk, they are succinct, darker, and thoughtful.

I think my favorite episode is the 2nd episode when they talk about paying off debt or investing because they both discuss at length the EMOTIONAL part of money. Even between two professional money managers there are differences in the way they FEEL when they use their money. Such a vital point, don’t waste time guilting yourself because you’re not an emotionally void robot and instead work with different ideas that feel good to you and still achieve financial stability. My dad is a CPA and CFP so I’ve been raised with budget, saving, and tithing principles my whole life and these guys embody all of that but it’s not dry advice that you know works but you never really adhere to. I’m starting the non-budgeting, 3 bucket method, today with my husband!!

Should be required listening for everyone. I think between these guys and DIY Money, you can learn a whole lot about personal finance in small, digestible chunks. By answering specific listener questions you see the practical application and understand nuances. I like listening to people with legitimate creds and experience, too, not some fools with an Instagram page. Highly recommend. Update: I really hope they continue these international topics, they’re SO helpful and the information is hard to find elsewhere. I wish this podcast had an Instagram page so listeners could chat with each other about this and share resources.

Something about their style is incredibly engaging and the info is very helpful. Even for topics I’m familiar with, it’s always helpful to hear their take! They’re knowledgeable and practical and provide easily digestible, easy to implement tips.

I appreciate how Scott and James take the him to give honest, thougtuful answers to reader questions. The show is a great resource!

Six Star Review: Scott Frank and James Conole are a Dream Team of financial wisdom tellers. They take complicated financial ideas and translate them into easily understood and actionable techniques that will lead to financial success. The language of money has never been better explained. Be sure to listen to every Real Personal Finance Podcast:There are gems of wisdom in each one!

I discovered this podcast a few months ago. I would definitely recommend it. Bery useful info!

I love this show because it breaks down personal finance knowledge to my understanding level. Awesome show. Keep it going. Edit: episode 083 is my favorite now. Thanks guys.

A favorite personal podcast. Thank you guys!

Thank you for the practical and concise advice - delivered without the arrogance of another certain well known financial radio star. Keep up the good work!

I subscribe to a few and this one is by far my favorite. Many of the others sound like people reading from google search results, but these guys clearly have the qualifications to explain how things work and the best possible application. They make a consistent effort to explain any “Latin”, which makes following along easy. Each show covers a specific topic, but in a way that allows a broad demographic of listeners to translate the information into their own situation.

Great podcast for anyone interested in personal finance and investing! Thanks guys.

This podcast has been so helpful in increasing my financial knowledge and helping me refine my financial plan. James and Scott do such a nice job of breaking things down in an easy to understand way. I love that each episode is focused on one topics, so it’s possible to understand things more in depth, vs other financial podcasts that touch on too many topics per episode. Thanks for the great content - excited to continue listening!

Love the Real Personal Finance podcast, it’s seriously the best one I’ve listened to out of quite a few financial podcasts. Scott and Frank are super knowledgeable and their format for discussing topics gives you an in-depth breakdown of a single financial topic at a time. I appreciate that they’re comprehensive , yet make things incredibly simple and easy to follow without leaving out important details. Also love that every episode is under 30 mins , oppose to some podcasts in this genre that last over an hour.

Perfect podcast for folks wanting to gain an intermediate understand of a wide variety of topics. This podcast covers one topic per show and does a great job explaining the topic in moderate detail which is sufficient for most people to gain a solid understanding. Other podcasts discuss random topics in the same show or go into such detail on niche topics that it just isn’t relevant to listen to regularly. Great job guys!

The high light of my wednesday mornings is listening to new episodes while I make breakfast. This podcast is the most informative that I’ve come across. I’ve recommended it to all my friends because the content is very digestible and concise. I can tell a lot of planning goes into the content discussed. Other podcasts don’t do it for me because there’s a a bunch of rambling and no clear topic, but this podcast is solid gold. Keep up the good work Scott and James!

Thank you James and Scott for taking the time to answer my question about advisors. Love the show and the great, practical advice you offer. Keep it up!

This is the first podcast I’ve found that isn’t just telling me to find my why or improve relationships. If I wanted that advice, I’d look for a podcast about that. These guys actually give helpful tips in managing money.
