  • Uber one???

    I normally love your podcasts but how can uber one be sponsoring an episode about becoming mortgage faster? Seems very counterproductive

  • A great informative listen

    Such an enjoyable and informative listen, delivered in a way that is easily digestible. I love that Nadine has an incredible amount of proven expertise in the finance space, it’s clear she really knows her stuff, but is skilled in delivering it in a way that those who don’t can understand. Great range of topics covered so far - there really is something for everyone!

  • When later is now sooner

    I think we should rebrand “Retirement” - for years it feels too far off to worry about, then all of a sudden it’s looming. Great episode discussing a reader’s question and fears that it might be too late.
