    Prenup Episode
    That prenup episode is insane! Any man who gets married in the United States in 2024 is out of his mind, or he hasn’t accomplished anything. Marriage attorneys, divorce attorneys and laws that incentive divorce have made it the worst contract you will ever sign.

    “Just spend less”
    No useful advice unless you already make enough money, just like all the other advice anywhere else

    Bank comparison
    This is the first time I have listened to Life Kit and a good comparison of big banks, credit unions and community banks. FYI though credit unions do have tech features just as good as big banks. It might also be good to feature on another show where banks invest their money. Many people are concerned about this issue given the climate crisis.

    Nosedive :(
    Obviously, forward momentum of this type of show is hard to maintain. The initial basics are essential and become less so the more ground you cover—because you’ve already taught those lessons. Sadly, this show has doubled down by not only covering less essential or universal topics, but also diminishing quality of coverage. When I listened to the vehicle maintenance episode and the first thing I heard was to keep an expandable seatbelt in my glove compartment, I knew that we had reached rock bottom…As a Democrat and regular NPR listener, it’s still clear when a show has been corrupted by leftist views that are no longer applicable or useful to a broader audience. This show has reached that point, and it’s time for overhaul or termination.

    Very Helpful
    These podcasts are very helpful. I would like to listen to one on how to refinance student loans. In a little over a month the student loan deferment period will end. Some are paying the federal government rates as high as 10% on their loans. A podcast on this would be very timely.

    Great show
    I find the show topics really helpful. Also, being the pandemic it can be pretty lonely sometimes, but when I put this on I feel like I’m surrounded by a group of friends. I love all the hosts and the guest are usually dry interesting and really do want to help you. It makes life a little less dim. Thanks LK 💛

    Good Information
    Just found this podcast after listening regularly to many others. I really enjoyed this one, it was informative and without all the nonsense chatter that some others do.

    One more mortgage secret
    Great episode, but I think you may have missed one option: take the 30 year fixed instead of the 15 year fixed BUT set up up either biweekly payments instead of monthly if possible, extra annual payment, or add extra principle payments on top of the monthly payments if you can’t do biweekly. This helps build equity similar to the wealth builder loans BUT gives you payment flexibility if your financial situation changes, e.g. two income household drops to one income due to health circumstances or loss of job, etc. :-)
