Listener Reviews

I listen to this show everyday. Don and Tom are pretty funny and offer great advice. You can tell that they genuinely care about helping people invest in the safest manner.

Love the advise and your perspective.

That is what Don brings to the discussion. He is a sensible, intelligent and reasonable advisor. I find his insights o be reassuring, practical and wise. None better. If you have found this guy you are lucky indeed. Listen, learn and prosper.

Don and Tom do great job of keeping investing simple and calling out the frauds. If someone is looking for a podcast that gives investors the best chance of future success - this is it. Their advice is not based on hot tips or forecasts - but on proven academic research (evidence based investing). This is one of my go to podcasts.

If you want to understand how to invest start here. Don and Tom make it easy to get up to speed with everything you need to know. The path they lay out is easy to understand and takes very little time and effort. Low effort, low drama. If you already know how to invest you will enjoy the banter and will still learn from their valuable insights.

This is by far the best financial podcast and I would highly recommend.

Thankful for these guys for sharing their experience, insight and pro tips. Best of all is they’re trustworthy and that is priceless in the greed consumed world in which we live. Definitely learning lots and plan to share the podcast with friends and family.

Great job by Tom & Don...providing financial advice and guidance.

Great podcast for personal finance. Short and high energy.

Found Don and Tom several years ago through another one of my favorite podcasts Paul Merriman. The name of the show says it all, they do talk real money without all the unnecessary nonsense so many of the other so called financial podcasts out there tend to babble. I have a hand full of podcasts that are a must listen to and this is certainly one of them. Highly recommend!

Very informative!!!!!! nothing but the facts...luv it.

Honest and productive information. Want to invest? Want to learn the truth? This is the place. Great show.

Outstanding program. Accurate, honest advice on challenging topics. Makes recommendations consistently with lowest cost and best return but a dose of reality about what can realistically be expected. Recommends solutions outside their direct benefit that are easy to validate and seem truly honest. Excellent work. Keep it up!

Don and Tom provide the most honest investing advice with their entertaining style of delivery. Easy to understand, too.

Thanks for stepping up to the daily podcasts. I really enjoy the short informative concentrated advice. I have been listening to Don Since the early 90s and can personally vouch for his no-load, low-fee, index approach. No get rich quick schemes here but if you are diligent and follow his approach you will surprise yourself with how well you can do and how wealthy you can become.

I like Suze Orman does she have a podcast? Thank you kindly. Keep up the good work.

This is one of the best financial podcasts around today. No BS.. quick & straight to the point! Glad to have more than than just “Money-thirty”. Talking Real Money has real substance and really useful information. Thanks again guys! AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++

I am so Thankful this radio show is available via Podcast. Tom and Don give honest fact based advice that will help you be a better investor and position yourself for a much better future. You should listen as often as you can. I do an feel blessed Talking Real Money!

I have been listening and taking Don McDonald advice for 25 years. I like my returns so much now investory handles our accounts in early retirement thanks. Don and Tom

This podcast is dedicated to saving you money and to help you navigate the investment world and the complexities being thrown at you. If you're a stock-picking gambler or someone who times the market, you will hate this podcast!

I have been listening to Tom and Don since the Sounding Investing days where they were co-hosts of the Sound Investing show with Paul Merriman. Just like Paul you can expect very good and honest advice from Don and Tom. If you listen to the show, you will find that they never advertise their own firm for callers. Often they recommend the two fund Vanguard approach to the callers. If you don’t have time to read many books on investing, just listen to Talking Real Money. In a few months you will know enough to invest on your own.

Very few podcast hosts are not trying to sell you something in order to line their pockets. These guys will tell you the legitimate best ways to save and invest, avoiding insurance salesmen and their annuities, brokers and their loaded funds, and all of the other scamsters.

Good show with variety of topics. Easy to understand and follow for most investors with some basic understanding of retirement planning and the vehicles used. Could perhpas use a few less breaks with the same advertisements (:-), but overall well worth the listen on my long daily commutes.

I recently graduated and am starting a job where I'll be making actual money! This podcast has given me a great place to start and what pitfalls to lookout for along the way as I try to build lifetime wealth. I hope to check out some of their classes soon!
