Suddenly realizing that avocado toast isn’t a retirement plan and needing to figure out what a retirement savings account is, is rather common. Welcome to the wonderful world of personal finance podcasts, where you’ll discover that every money expert has a slightly different opinion on whether you should be investing in index funds or hiding cash under your mattress, and they all seem to think you should’ve started saving when you were twelve.
But fear not, because instead of reading those boring finance books gathering dust on your nightstand, you can now have people tell you how financially irresponsible you’ve been while you’re doing dishes. In this list, I’ve collected the best personal finance podcasts that will either inspire you to finally get your financial life together or make you feel worse about that impulse purchase you made last Tuesday. Probably both.
