Incredibly Educational, but Sometimes Out of Reach

I genuinely love this podcast. Katie breaks down complex financial concepts in a way that’s smart, engaging, and totally digestible. It’s one of the few money shows I can listen to without zoning out or feeling completely lost. That said, as a 26-year-old working at a nonprofit in D.C., trying to stay afloat and pay off debt, I sometimes feel left behind in the conversations. I actually earn more than the average American—and still, the strategies often feel geared toward those with serious wealth or high disposable income. It’s hard to think about optimizing tax strategies, backdoor Roths, or donor-advised funds when you’re just trying to stay housed and put food on the table. I think it’s worth acknowledging that if I feel left out of these discussions, the average American likely does too. I listen because I believe in the power of financial education—and Katie does it better than almost anyone. I’d just love to see more content for those still in the trenches, not just those on the financial offense.

Valuable and Useful while still being fun

SAHM mom here in North Dallas. I love the show! I do miss the tactical finance episodes but do enjoy the new content as well. I’m writing this mostly to let you know as a SAHM mom of 3 littles, I find your content just perfect and it gives me brain tingles which is so nice because as a SAHM mom there’s only so much unicorn and monster truck talk I can do without going a little crazy. Anyways keep up the amazing content and I”ll listen as often as I can even if it takes me a couple of days to get through all of it bc mom life means I’m constantly getting interrupted. Ignore the other SAHMs they can truly be the worst and keep doing what yall are doing! Also love Keds when she’s on! Thanks for introducing me to her.

Appreciate the Insights and Evolution

Katie - I felt compelled to write a review despite having been a regular listener for about two years. As a single 40 year old female on solid (not perfect) financial footing with a penchant for economics, I appreciate the evolution into broader macroeconomic and socioeconomic topics. While I also enjoy personal finance oriented episodes (particularly more granular investing and insurance episodes), I agree that once someone is in good financial standing, it can be helpful to gain perspective on these broader issues. I value the content you put out into the world and I haven’t found anything comparable so please keep up all the great work you and your team have been doing!

Useful and full of big picture ideas

I find money management shows typically insufferable. There’s often an implicit assumption that any financial stress can be resolved with enough life hacks. I love that this show recognizes the structural challenges that many millennials face in saving up for life events while still providing really solid, actionable guidance.

Fun and thought provoking

Katie and Henah are true gems and I’m forever grateful to Ramit Sethi for turning me onto this podcast last year. I love that they tackle complex economic topics in a way that is both digestible and fun but doesn’t try to dumb things down for you either. Learning how to balance living (and thriving?) under capitalism but not let it erase your humanity is tough but these ladies make it a little easier.

Refreshing and Honest

Love listening to this podcast. As a millennial, healthcare worker, and mom, I’ve found the transition to focus on systemic economic topics such a great move. I’m learning a lot, and definitely feel seen - especially in the episodes on childcare and health economics.

So Insightful

As a GenX mom of two young women, I am so grateful for both Money With Katie and Diabolical Lies. My kids are listening along with me, and we all agree that if you want to surround yourself with smart people, listening to KGT must be part of your media diet.

Thank you!

Listening to the most recent rich girl roundup, and wanted to say I really appreciate the unapologetic academic rigor and explicit anti capitalist stance. I don’t buy that this gets in the way of more “practical” matters, as we know individual self blame and “personal responsibility” can be incredibly harmful!

Thanks

This show has been really helpful to me as I’ve rebuilt my financial life after a disastrous divorce. I’ve loved listening as the show has expanded its scope to deeper and more theoretical economic concerns. Thank you!

Chill out haters - we’re evolving

This show is so good. To all the folks complaining that the show isnt tactical anymore or that it’s too political now, well you’re entitled to that opinion, but I think it’s for the best. It’s really cool to see how much Katie has grown as a rich girl and I like to think I’m growing along with her. I love the direction this show is going, it just might not be for everyone, and that’s okay. Maybe it would have made more sense to start a new podcast instead of continuing with the old name? That might have provided people with a clearer demarcation between old tactical stuff and the new stuff. Either way, love it, thanks for all you do, so glad I found you, xoxo gossip girl

Mind blown

Complex, thought provoking info packaged in easy to understand conversations. Just when I think I’ve heard it all, another episode is released and my mind is blown again. Thx for the great pod.

Best episode ever

Just listened to the new episode and oh my god, it’s so good. I have never purposefully reviewed a podcast, but I had to leave one and say this conversation was so well done and informative and makes me feel more optimistic about our future than I have in a while. Thank you so much for your work. Love, a 30 something, tired, married, working economist Mom.

Episode 249

More a comment than review but SS is an entitlement and a benefit we pay into against our will. We are entitled to money we pay into the government against our will even if we don’t get a fraction of the money returned over a lifetime. Keep up the good work!

Pretty new here and have listened to a handful of eps. I love the show and want to be friends, lol. I have a near obsession with economics and history and your content is top notch. Keep up the great work.

Great info with snark

Easy to understand, Great podcast. But Katie , what’s your backstory? I heard it mentioned in a recent episode that you were a victim of fraud? Can you tell that story sometime? Thx for the great pod.

Two Sides to the Money Story?

Loving the MMT intro on Money with Katie. Would be great to hear both sides—maybe Stephanie Kelton to unpack MMT’s case, paired with someone like Lyn Alden to question it from a grounded finance angle. Could make for a balanced, eye-opening chat!

Could not love this show more

I’ve been following various personal finance people for 7-8ish years now (my fave is Ramit Sethi), and IG put a reel in front of me that was Katie explaining how we are essentially being *forced* to understand money and investing these days. Because for those who don’t, there is zero safety net for our older years and zero other ways to (somewhat) guarantee an ability to afford medical care and basic needs like housing. Essentially she explained that capitalism creates more capitalism and forces us to make decisions for individual self preservation, and that we need to keep in mind that investing is a must, but it is not a way to build true community safety and security. I was SOLD. I’m not explaining it nearly as eloquently as Katie did, but I instantly subscribed to this podcast, and have learned a lot since, and I appreciate this whole society perspective so very much.

Over my head and I love it

I spend a lot of time listening to educational podcasts - business, economics and money. I stumbled across this show and have been so impressed by Katie and the content she and team make. Other female finance podcasters, understandably, aim for the bottom/middle of people - basic concepts, practices and purchaseable content for more advanced topics (good for them!). What I love about Katie is the research is SO deep, so balanced and well thought out and chances are good I have not heard any given topic before - I find myself a bit lost. So much information, so much data, AND I LOVE IT. it makes me curious, pay attention, and finally find a new area I want to dig in and get familiar with. I am intimidated but not belittled, I am the dumbest person in the proverbial “room” with a host who welcomes me and doesn’t expect me to be an insider. This is not an echo chamber or a sales pitch pod and I love it. Thank you Katie and team, keep up the good work! I look forward to being utterly lost for the foreseeable future.
