Talking Real Money has a new look with better access to out latest podcasts

Listener Reviews

Great
Love the show. Don’t get why the haters have to leave negative reviews. If you don’t like it, don’t listen. I do find it “fascinating” how Tom says “etc, etc, etc” multiple times per show. Keep up the great work guys. My favorite podcast and I listen to several.
JLCollins!
When Tom and Roxy said they didn’t know who JL Collins was all members of the FIRE community, and most other personal finance devotees, let out a collective gasp. He’s a HUGE figure in personal finance. The Simple Path To Wealth is revered by many people doing DIY personal finance.
Horse in the race…
I agree with Don when he said that people tend to talk up investments when they too are invested in that said investment. Don was talking about Bitcoin, but it could be anything. Great observation and insight Don, I guess time will be the ultimate judge on Bitcoin.
Good show, most of the time
Entertaining show when they are able to leave their political bias out. They say they are unbiased, but over and over again they will call a tax break by the GOP “pandering” while not applying the same standard to student loans or other free stuff provided by the Dems . Can’t trust the new head of the BLS or the new FED Chair, but we have unending faith that all the data was unbiased from the previous ones? And you are so sure of that how? If they were consistent in their criticisms, I could let it slide.
Love Talking Real Money
Tom, Don, and Roxie, I love listening to the show! It's very educational and entertaining at the same time! Talking Real Money is really good at stressing what not to do - bad annuities, crypto, high fees, etc., and really excels in this area. Tom and Don are dedicated to educate and serve their listeners. Roxie is so well spoken, articulate, and makes understanding questions on Q & A so much simpler to understand. Thanks for all you do! Thanks Tom for reviewing my portfolio earlier, it's truly appreciated! Aubin
Love it!
It’s must listen to! Changed my life!
Great info but slightly misguided on International bonds
Love the show and I’m a long time listener. But these guys often say they’re not fans of international bonds due to the currency exposure. But a fund like BNDX is actually currency hedged so there’s no currency risk. Furthermore, international bonds provide more diversification than holding only US bonds.
Has Tom been informed about the new cohost?
Just listen to the latest episode and look forward to the new cohost on Friday Q&A.
I’ve been listening for years!
This is my first time leaving a review. I was told about this show years ago by a coworker. I’m so glad I tuned in because it really helped me shift my financial mindset to a financial planning mindset. I knew I wanted to be set at retirement and I needed to know I was on the right track. In some ways I was and in other ways this show helped me grow. I still continue to listen daily and if I get behind I always catch up! Thank you for your years of wisdom, knowledge, and honesty around products that aren’t so great. I appreciate you always reminding us that the market is emotional and how much it is affected by what is going on in the world. Buy and Hold! Woohoo!!
Excellent podcast
Very informative.
Best investment show in the podcast network
This podcast is hands down the best. Extremely informative and provides valuable information for both the beginning investor as well as the do it yourself more seasoned investor. It gets right to the point and does not waste your time. Love love love it.
Everyone likes an Underdog!
Tom and Don put out a ton of content, almost as much as Ramsey with his army of employees. Tom and Don have their quirks and I don't always agree, but that is what I like about them. A little drama keeps it real for a topic that most folks find painfully boring. Don can beat the same drum over and over, but I love a good bashing of so called "Financial Advisors" aka Insurance Salesperson cooking up a Steak dinner or smacking Ramsey for his 8% retirement withdraw rate or his 1980 style mutual funds. I am still a fan of Ramsey even though he has a ton of flaws. Tom, the good cop, is so upbeat and keeps the show intertaining. One of them once said investing is 80% behavioral and 20% math. That made me realize that investing does not need to be all that complicated, just stay the course.
Thank You
Thank you Don and Tom for working 6 days a week. You are making a difference in many people’s lives. I personally have learned so much from both of you. Great information daily!
The Real Deal
I’ve been listening to Tom & Don for years and gained so much confidence in them that I hired ApellaWealth to manage my 401K when I retired. Roxy is my analyst and is absolutely top in her field and I enjoy her visits to Talking Real Money. Highly recommend both Talking Real Money and ApellaWealth.
Teachers and learners
I always come away with learning something new from the dialogue of Tom and Don. I do wish Don would not interrupt Tom so often resulting in talking over each other. When that happens, its frustrating to understand.
The Click and Clack of finance podcasts
Most financial media encourages you to hop around from one hot tip to the next great thing and it prays on your fear of missing out. Not these guys. Tom and Don remind me regularly that my steady, boring investments are where I need to be. They keep me from doing stupid things with my money and they are fun to listen to. Thanks guys!
5 star show
I like the jokes Tom tells. Like is not that serious even though money or finance is. Keep up the good work guys.
Trustworthy investing advice
Thoughtful, evidence-based advice that is a nice contrast to the TikTok “experts” who will say anything to get attention. They also seem like nice guys who sincerely want to help.
Good
Pretty good. One star taken away from being liberal because taxation is theft.
REAL Good
These guys making investing fun! Always enjoy listening.
Solid advice you can count on!
Don and Tom provide academic based guidance on investing. Whether you are just starting out or nearing retirement, they provide sound academic based strategies for you to incorporate into your investments.
Best financial podcast out there!
Straight forward and actionable financial advice. Highly recommend for any stage of your retirement savings or spending journey!
Great balance, trusted podcast
Listened for a couple of years now and enjoy the banter, if it annoys you just skip forward. The tempo is good and topics are basic but good to hear as refreshers. Dad jokes rule!
