  • Used to really love this podcast

    I used to love listening but finding myself listening to the first few minutes and ending the episode. Sounds more judgmental and elitist lately. I like Suze Orman and her women focus and cringe every time you pooh pooh her for her save more message. Perhaps adding a Choose FI stinks segment like Clark Howard does for some constructive feedback.
