Subjective Review:
There’s nothing like a husband and wife discussing finances together to make me smile. There is a reality to this video podcast as if the two involved are not scripted, but instead honestly discussing things. The back and forth video content is somewhat visually jarring at times, but is not so distracting that I feel put off by it. I can definitely see myself watching this bi-monthly podcast in the future - I’m staying subscribed. Not all of the content applies to my life (which is probably typical of any personal finance content: its personal), but the sincerity of the hosts makes this a very watchable video podcast. Jeff ends several of the podcasts with, “Bye, Ames,” which just closes the podcast off with a familiarity after only a few watches.
My favorite episode by far was the 12/21 episode discussing school fund raisers and the parents involvement. I side with Jeff
