Now that we’ve officially kicked off the New Year and have set our resolutions, it’s time to actually follow through with them! Financial resolutions like finally starting that side hustle you’ve been dreaming about, committing to saving more, gaining confidence when it comes to money management, and trying to spend more responsibly are all great, but sometimes they can become a little too overwhelming once it’s time to really get the ball rolling.
But just because they’re your resolutions doesn’t mean you have to tackle them alone. There are dozens of personal finance resources out there that are designed to set you up for financial success by helping you learn and think about money in practical, tangible ways. Below, we’ve listed three highly regarded personal finance podcasts that each take a unique approach to helping you get a handle on your finances.
Mo’ Money
The Mo’ Money podcast—hosted by Jessica Moorhouse, a millennial money expert, speaker, Accredited Financial Counselor, award-winning blogger, and founder of the Millennial Money Meetup®—aims to teach people how to take control of their lives by taking control of their money. The podcast has grown to become one of the top personal finance podcasts, with 1.4 million downloads and more than 200 episodes that feature interviews with a wide variety of guests including celebrities, experts, entrepreneurs, authors, friends, family, and even listeners of the show.
