Listener Reviews

I never ever miss this podcast
A must listen to show. They are usually right on. Please keep up the pressure on crypto. Twenty year guaranteed immediate TIAA annuities have a return of 4%. The yearly payout is about 7.5%. I don't think the wealth managers like them because they loose AUM.

Love these guys insight and commitment
Have worked with Tom quite a bit over the years and have called in several times. Can't recommend them highly enough for financial approch and guidelines. I have done their free portfolio review and there is no hard sell, nothing shady... completely professional. They are one of the few TRUE fiduciaries that are not only required to work in your best interest, they seek out the opportunities to do so and that is rare and refreshing. They have started doing a podcast almost every day, a huge benefit to the audience and what has to be taxing on already stretched resources, but that is just more testament to their quality, integrity and commitment to their audience. Would love to hear more collaboration with Paul M. and maybe see if your Stacking Benjamin or Clark, want to reciprocate and come be a guest now that they have stopped the live call in Saturday's. Keep up the great work... and maybe give the conservatives a break guys. Honestly it's gotten to where I just have to fast forward through Don's Trump bashing and barely veiled conservative jabs, but the content is worth the eye roll. Just be honest if you are going to be political and don't hide it behind sarcasm and rhetoric, it makes it tough to trust you with something big when you can't be trusted with something small and it comes off cowardly and pandering.
Great advice
Been listening for about 3 years now. They have really great advice and are willing to help people that call or write in with questions.
The best!
30 year DIY investor through the Clark Howard School of Basic Investing. Decided to listen after hearing an ad and I’m glad I did. TRM has quickly become my 1 one podcast. I haven’t missed a show in 2-3 years. Sorry Clark! I’ve learned a lot, added more diversity to our investments and I’m feeling more comfortable on the process of generating an income from our investments when the time comes. Keep doing what you do. Love it!
Money Talks
Love listening to the old guys talk about money and investing. They seem very genuine and offer sound advice. I find myself turning off my normal channels such as ESPN just so I don’t miss an episode. I even share what I learn with co-workers.
Midwest Quilter
I just listened to your Jan 1st podcast and learned how to review your show!I’ve listened a long time but you said you never put sales people on your show…Wrong About 2-3 years ago you interviewed a guy that espoused the virtues of ESG investing. You almost lost me as a listener. Thus the 4 star review. You guys aren’t quite perfect 🫤
Simple and Sound Investing Advice
I have been listening to most of their podcasts for nearly two years, and have learned a great deal about keeping investing simple, avoiding the pitfalls of many over-priced and complex investment (and insurance) products, and what to look for in an investment advisor. They do a great job of explaining investing in a way that resonates with a broad range of listeners.
Great podcast
These two are the definition of how advisors can “do it the right way”
Practical money advice with no fees.
Have enjoyed these guys for several years. Listened to Don years ago and followed his financial advice then. These guys really want to help people save money for retirement.
Calm in the Storm
Thank you for keeping it investing, not gambling.
Valuable and informative information
Charismatic and knowledgeable hosts that make a relatively dry topic entertaining. Thanks guys.
Fun and informative
I like the mix of humor and informative investing insights!
Keep it up
Love the continuous beating of the low-cost, diversified investment portfolio drum.
Late starter
Very helpful information that has helped me clean things up and have an understanding of a better trajectory.
Entertaining and informative
I have tried out several investing/retirement shows, but this one is the only one that keeps my attention.
Educational and Entertaining
Don and Tom answer questions about money and have fun while doing it. I find their responses to be accurate and practical. They tackle a range of topics involving money. Wish I had found this podcast sooner so I would have benefited from their insights earlier. It’s the first podcast I listen to each day. Thanks Don and Tom!
Extremely fair balanced
I’ve been listening to financial related shows since the 1980s starting with radio then migrating to podcasts. Don and Tom are as fair balanced and straight shooters as you will find anywhere. They have been there, done that, and have no dog in the fight. They are simply trying to impart the wisdom they have acquired over several decades. Unlike 90% of other radio shows and podcast, they are not trying to sell you anything. They know from experience that you want to be the tortoise and not the hare.
No Kidding!
Of course Don listens to John Oliver, like a normal Floridian Republican would do. Your other podcast should be called “Lib Reading”! Keep up the great woke!
Great Info about Money
Tom and Don share really sound information about how to manage and invest your money. They try to keep it as simple as possible so the info is sensible from all.
Long overdue
Hey Don and Tom, this review is long overdue. I have been lazy to post. I have been listening to your podcasts for at least the last 5 plus years. You guys are so humorous and the friendly banter is amazing. I have fallen a few weeks behind . Currently on the last week of November episodes. And trust me when they say there is no upselling or gimmicks when you call Tom’s team. I had a call with Tom and Roxy a few months ago and was never upsold anything.To be fair however, I feel they might have a slight bias against owning individual real estate assets as investments, and of course the infamous Bitcoin 😀 Also, I feel that they push Avantis and Dimensional products, even when there are cheaper Vanguard and Schwab products
Best Investment Advice
Informative and engaging, more importantly they gave me the confidence and knowledge to self manage my taxable and retirement accounts.
Easy to follow advice
I have listened to this podcast for years. The hosts offer actionable and understandable advice for do it yourselfers. They cover a range of options so you can have one or two funds or if you prefer several to get to similar results. To boot, they are so entertaining—Don the curmudgeon with his (faux?) outrage and the ever-avuncular Tom to smooth things out when Don is in high dudgeon. It’s always a treat when Roxy joins as well.
Enjoyable & Informative
I’ve made Tom & Don a regular part of my walks. They’ve provide me with great insights, ways to rethink about my financial hodgepodge and begin to get things in line. I miss T&D of I go a few days without listening but then I’m happy to be able to binge listen 😃. Also, the length of each episode is perfect for my listening pleasure. Keep up the great work Tom & Don 👍🏻😃
