rece1984My favorite financial podcast'Love how they're not long and drawn out.
-
MikenamenottakenDoneFor the most part I like this podcast but it is obviously not for me. The last straw was the interview with Rodger Romero who has an engineering degree but wants to make a living playing music and hopes the government will pay off his student loans so he can play music and someday buy a big house for his parents. In my opinion this podcast is not for people who paid off their student loans and other debts. No longer following this podcast.

SJfromUSABarrier to entryRecently found this show and want to like, but the incessant addressing of me/us as “Listener” is tough to endure. Cringe. We are smart enough to know when you are talking to each other or us.

bunnybreathLife changingCan’t believe I’m saying this about a podcast but it’s been life changing. It’s exactly the kind of warm, lighthearted, but also deep conversation I needed about a very loaded and complicated topic in my life. I’m learning so much. I have been able to implement my new knowledge right away by using the practical tips offered. Thank you to the amazing hosts.

J.R. 12345ReviewWanted to like this one but couldn’t get into it.
-
JJBB4444Good podcastI really like that it is a financial show, and there are many female experts. So often, finance-oriented shows only feature arrogant men.
-
MichiganLawStudentBrings on bigots to platformRecently had on a guest (who also runs a podcast) that said during the nerdwallet episode they try not to bring on straight white males onto their own podcast. Bigoted and nasty. Nerdwallet should do better. As an update - they just had an episode on healthcare costs of getting abortions and “gender affirming care” aka voluntary sex changes.
-
laughingsharkBest financial podcastThis is the best financial news and explanation for investing I’ve found a lot of others are just trying to sell you an insider’s club investment training course for hundreds of dollars

MListens02-10-23 Episode was Great!The 02-10-23 episode, The Color of Money, was excellent. Please have episodes throughout the year that are moderated by and include interviews with people of color. Appreciate This episode In February, celebrating Black History Month. Would love additional episodes on personal finance within the Black community, as well as Asian, Hispanic, and other segments of the population that are not specifically hi lighted. Thank you!

auntmargitBest PodcastTruly love every aspect of this show- the information, the format, the interaction of the hosts and guest contributors, the value and timeliness is immeasurable! Thank You for making my life better!!

Ramosa1098775Not Detailed Enough or inaccurate InfoThe speakers seem to be too inexperienced to discuss these topics. I have listened to a few episodes and most of them are too general or contain a lot of common sense advice so it is not helpful to a professional with general financial understanding. They spend a lot of time on disclaimers to not offend people or have them feel left out. I am listening to the child care episode and I just flat out disagree with a lot of information. They say that a one household wage is impossible for Families and was a dream for a specific period of time. They fail to talk about the change to a debt household. Most families are living beyond their means and can’t afford to live on one salary do to budgeting issues. They also fail to talk about the impact war had on pulling women into the workforce and the fact that it was hard for women to go back to the home when a number of women found new satisfaction and purpose in work outside the home. The episode left the listener to broad inaccurate information and no solutions. They didn’t even touch on how to weigh cost and balances of childcare or how to budget for it. It was just a complain session with general information similar to most episodes.
-
CedmooSomething for everyoneLove, love, love this show. The length is just right- long enough to cover a topic and short enough not to drag. The camaraderie of the hosts is lovely as is the fact that this is a judgement -free zone.
-
mr DannoUniversally helpfulThis is one podcast I literally believe EVERYONE should listen to. Fairly quick episodes with straightforward explanations and actionable modern insight on tech, privacy, and finance. Very well balanced.
-
mbaker884Great podcast!Such thoughtful and well researched responses to everyday money problems. I’m so glad I discovered this podcast!
-
Skiing_ZebraPersonal finance made funSuch well thought out and measured responses to people’s money questions, and additional discussions related to current economic situations. Some discussions are directly related to my current situation. Most aren’t, but give me great food for thought for my future financial needs. I have little interest in economics or money things in general, but this is a great informative and accessible podcast that makes learning about personal finance fun and interesting.
-
BamaFan0003Love this podcastI listen to every new episode, even if it doesn’t apply directly to my situation. It makes me feel more confident in my decisions, and makes me better manage my money. The hosts are easy to listen to and very knowledgeable.
-
Atlien FanLife Changing Podcast! ❤️💥I have been listening to Sean and Liz for about a year now, yay you two! I learn so many good tips and tricks from them about how to manage my money in bite-size ways. Sometimes simply positive affirmations that I made a good financial decision! This is entertaining, fun, friendly, and WORTH your time!
-
Th3OffspringPoliticsWas an interesting show until politics were introduced. Lost a listener
-
Zelda1954Excellent Bite Sized InfoI have been listening since I retired 7 months ago and have found the show to be consistently smart, easy to understand, and helpful. It’s part of my Monday morning routine and gives me food for thought the rest of the week. The Smart Money team respects my intelligence, my confusion over complex investment options, and my time — it’s concise with no banal banter found in many other podcasts.
-
TomasWGreenGreat nuggets of financial wisdom each weekI am a young professional and had a number of questions and uncertainties about how to manage my money in the best way. Each episode has given me things to think out, conversation starters to have with family and loved ones about financial concerns, and useful starting points for deeper research. I especially love that Sean talks about his recent decisions with his partner and the questions they navigated. It makes me feel more capable of having those same conversations with my boyfriend as we start to think about our future.
-
amsankeyWorst financial podcast availableI listen to many financial podcasts: WSJ, Bloomberg, Dave Ramsey, etc. This is by far the worst and seems more like self-therapy for the hosts. Save yourself 20-minutes a week and never listen.
-
Cat GerboGreat Intro to Personal FinanceSean and Liz do an excellent job of giving concise but well thought out tips on how to handle money. My favorite thing about this podcast is that the hosts never place blame or guilt on consumers. They are very empathetic to individual situations and leave the judgment out of finance. I would caution following the advice on the debt collection episode. Liz mentions if you call a debt collection company you can trigger a law suit. In some states you can have a motion for default judgment placed against you if you DON’T get in touch with the firm your debt has been placed with. Source: former paralegal in a garnishment department that operates in 12 different states.
-
JaneinNYMy favorite personal finance podcast!I’ve been listening religiously since the spring. Great podcast and very informative. I’ve learned so much from these two.
-
HonestAngel1106Not really about moneyThis podcast as much more about politics than it is about money. So, if you were truly interested in investing, find somebody more focused on money than politics.
-
beetlebabe666Informative, succinct, love it!A super helpful podcast that I am so happy exists!! Thanks Sean and Liz!
-

Swhitworth0361UnsubscribingThere are a number of things I like about this podcast but I’ve heard the last story about Sean and his partner that I care to hear. Moving on...
-
Mr_harlowHarlowI just love this podcast. I enjoy the short episodes that go straight to the point.

-
feiaway0103Short and sweetLove the hosts and the topics they cover. It’s easy to understand, fun to listen and best- it’s short, all within 15 mins! Hope there’s gonna be more to come- really enjoy it :)
-
CW from AREveryone needs this in their lifeSean and Dayana provide invaluable information everyone needs to hear. No matter where you are in your financial life, their podcast has something for you. Be sure to read the articles at NerdWallet.com as well. My only complaint is I wish SmartMoney would come out with a new episode each week rather than every other week.
-
EvanthesGreat info...where are the show notes?I liked the info and how it was presented. I’m wondering where the show notes? I would like to follow up on information they referenced about retirement savings rates and it’s not there.
-
alexia cbEasy, Informative, Fun...Finance!Love these two hosts together! This is an easy-to-digest tidbit of useful information on how to better manage your personal finance. And Sean and Dayana make it fun! No lecturing or doom and gloom here. Just informative problem solving. Thank you, NerdWallet!

MkathrynsmithImportant Stuff!The topics covered are really important for everyone to know and think about— this podcast makes it easier to approach things that are usually scary to people who aren’t used to talking about finance.
