Stuff I Don't Like

On this episode of the Stuff I Don't Like Podcast, I talk with Catie Takimoto a.k.a. the Millenial Money Honey. On part 1, we discussed the trending F.I.R.E. (financial independence, retire early) movement, and how consumerism not only drains our wallets, but sometimes fuels injustice. On part 2, we unpack the reality of most "financial experts," who often grow up up in upper-class privilege but advise their working class audience to "just save." Instead of doling out more buzzwords and soundbites, we try to offer tangible advice on how to invest and save on a budget.
