Just finished the “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Capitalism” episode and it was phenomenal! Consider me subscribed.

But I did not enjoy this latest series on weight loss drugs. Her opinions seemed empty since she does not (and seemingly has never) struggled with her weight or lived in a fat body and she only spoke to people with negative opinions so it seemed biased. I absolutely don’t want to say “stick to your own lane” because I do enjoy her commentary on poverty, housing inequity etc but this was not it for me.

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.

I’ve loyally listened to a LOT of different podcasts in the past 10+ years and this podcast has become a favorite. Maybe THE favorite. I’m likely much older than most listeners (52) and I have learned so much from Katie. I’ve also been inspired by her positions on policy and ethics and she challenges me every episode. I think nearly everyone could benefit from listening.

This show quickly became by go-to for deep dives and interesting topics. Every topic is delivered respectfully and fairly, with deep research you can explore after.

Not boring topics or just getting lectured too. Katie takes a real deep dive into all layers and levels of finance. She also makes sure she isn’t shaming you and embracing very healthy saving and investing

The reviewers leaving a one-star review complaining that Katie has a political agenda are completely missing the point. No matter what your political view, if you’re interested in the bigger picture about money and personal finance, you’ll find that this podcast is full of some of the most interesting conversations out there Yes, finance is tied up in with the political, but as Katie points out to insist otherwise is a political statement too. I , for one, am loving the deeper investigation of the systems at work in our lives.

Thank goodness there’s women in the finance space. But the reason I kept listening (and continue to listen) are the continuous topic analysis about how finance affects…. Everything. THANK YOU.

I’ve been listening to this show for a couple years and her investigative episodes are getting more and more interesting. In fact, they are so well-told that it is changing my perspective on economics. Thank you for tackling such huge issues while still talking about ground-level, personal finance.

I used to LOVE this show and have listened to every episode over the years. Her early episodes are great! However, there’s been a major shift over the last couple years. Every single episode has such a negative and angry tone. Really puts you in a bummed mood. I wonder if she actually listens to her episodes and realizes how negative they have gotten over the years. The Monday episodes with Henah are so much better than her angry diary rants that she reads to us on Wednesdays. Her political bias is in every episode. “MONEY IS POLITICAL” -we get it. Other podcasters like Ramit do this way better. He often shares his political views on socials and mostly leaves it out of his show. His show is so much more positive and uplifting. The Money with Katie Show could be so much better.

i’ve learned so much in so little time. katie you speak to my financial views and your calls to action are so helpful. wishing you the best

Longtime listener, first time commenter. Loved the most recent episode about the last 40 years. Great analysis, easy to understand and listen to, well researched, and ends on a (surprisingly!) positive note. Keep it up Katie!

Wow!!! I’ve been listening for years and have learned so much. Especially grateful for this episode and the cultural diversity peace. I love how it was discussed with ease and pride! Please keep this up. It’s a huge deal to be a first gen and learn money.

Katie is amazing at going deep on each and ever topic you can imagine and breaking down the information into such an admin format, you will be hooked after just one episode!

Amazing, good production & you can tell there is a lot of thought in each episode. I am also learning a lot about finance as a woman in my late 20s with a spending issue who has only recently started saving $$ and needed to know about all of these things but didn't know where to start.

This is the single best podcast I have ever listened to in any genre. I have listened to every single episode, and never miss the weekly episodes. This show not only provides specific tactile personal finance recommendations, it analyzes our role in the systems we exist within that DIRECTLY impact our financial well being. It is an incredibly well researched show, and KGT is a powerhouse that represents the best of our generation’s thought leaders. You would be hard pressed to find a better podcast to fully understand not only your finances but the ways the world around you plays a part in your financial life, and what you can do within those systems to take control. If you come into this podcast with an *open mind*, you can glean incredibly useful life skills. Or you can get defensive, miss the point entirely, and write it off as Marxist. Your choice.

I love this show and listen regularly. But I wish they didn’t play music (terrible elevator music) under her speaking. It’s so distracting and there’s no need for it. Please remove the music!

Thanks for doing the lord’s work Love, A soon to be rich girl

Used to enjoy this show but it’s changed from financial advice to mostly political tirades lol. Pretty off putting if you’re not a Marxist, especially if you’re a woman who is happy raising kids. Katie makes a lot of very judgmental comments about caretaking. And I just generally disagree with the premises she has about what a good society (to her and her Marxist friends) looks like… I can’t listen any more because the rare financial advice among the ample political opining is coming from a source whose world view is basically the opposite of mine. Anyways. You will probably enjoy it if you’re into Marxism…

Was something else at one time but it is now just something to surreptitiously draw you in and then sell you a political message

Former long time lister. I am still a listener. But it’s so hard to take any of her advice seriously when she backs one political party (and gives absolutely no counter arguments by economists to the other side). What a bummer

Too many ads, girlfriend!

As a millennial, middle class woman I am not “rich” or wealthy, but so much of this content is valuable, informative, and highly engaging to me. If you want an approachable way to learn about managing your personal finances, as well as better understand the context in which macro-level systems impact our financial lives, check out this podcast. There is more great content on her instagram and newsletter as well. ✌️

I’m new to investing and this podcast is so helpful. It has taught me so much about the world of finance and made it feel so much more approachable for me. It’s empowering and helpful and funny. I’m so grateful I found this show. Thank you!!

I used to love listening to this podcast but Katie has become so grossly out of touch that I just can’t anymore. She used to be someone who was inspired and wanted to help, not she is saying all sorts of ridiculous stuff about how we shouldn’t expect our quality of life to get better when we get a new job or raise (which is insane because her own lifestyle has multiplied dramatically over the last three years) and being part of morning brew has just made her way too political. She’s just a shill for this idea that the economy and job market aren’t actually bad.

I’ve been following Katie for about two years now, I have listened to all her podcasts and I appreciate the depth in which her research is shown in the many episodes (including the rich girl round ups) to come with a sound and fact-based recommendation on a certain topic. The episode of Whole Life Insurance was a great one! Thank you for making this complicated journey of financial independence interesting and fun at the same time.

I can’t believe I’m only just writing a review now, I’ve been following Katie since the inception of MWK. This it’s real down to earth money talk we all need to be having and exploring to demystify the world of finance to us peasants. Katie you need to make a whole class for teens so we can finally spit out the generation of financially literate youth america needs. Anyhow. Katie taught me everything I know. I tell all my friends about you. Big fan 5 stars so you can sleep well tonight.

I absolutely loved this episode with Berna. She speaks all facts. I’ve recently stopped guilting myself into living for my mom or going beyond my discussed financial support for my younger sibling who lives in the Caribbean and does not work. This content and Berna is pure Gold.

I have been listening to this podcast on and off, whenever there is a subject that is relevant and it is amazing how Katie manages to find subjects which are relevant. The show about Life insurance hits a spot. I was sold a similar life insurance over 10 years ago, a policy similar to what you guest was sold, it was put on automatic withdrawal from my bank account and I completely forgot about it (this is due to my money dysmorphia issues), meanwhile I have always had the uneasy feeling that I had been taken for a ride. Your show basically confirmed my feelings. I know now that I have to do something about it. Thank you and thank your for the education.

Been listening for years and really love this podcast…however lately there’s been a shift where completely skewed one sided feminist ideology is being pushed…I truly hope this is not the direction you guys will be taking this wonderful show in the future…I sincerely thank you otherwise for great content and wish you all the best…take care.

For the past 5 years I’ve been listening to all different personal finance podcasts trying to learn how to manage my new physician salary responsibly after growing up in poverty and learning nothing about personal finance. At this point I am far beyond the basics and even got rid of my financial advisor who couldn’t tell me anything I haven’t taught myself. I stopped listening to most of the other podcasts because they became repetitive and no longer helpful, but I have continued listening to this one religiously because it is so thoughtful, well-researched, relevant, and I love Katie’s writing style (also the only newsletter I actually read top to bottom). I love her book suggestions, too. I even started following her on Insta and find her even more endearing now after learning more about her as a person. Katie and Henah you are both doing an amazing job and really changing the financial lives of so many women (and all your other listeners, too!). Can’t wait to see what you do next!

You won’t be getting the SS check you counted on. Sam Johnson, Republican Texas quietly, with the help of Democrats, passed legislation so that fewer and fewer taxpayers will qualify. SS Maximum Taxable earnings of $147,000 for 2022 and up to $168,600 in 2024. Taxpayers must have 35 years of paying in the maximum.

I just wanted to say thank you to Katie and everyone that participates in the creation of this show. I’m 43 and have $100,000 in student loan debt and only earned $24,000 last year through working a full time job , a part time job, and teaching a few yoga classes as a side hustle. I’m also in graduate school with 2 years left (meaning more student loans to come). I have no retirement, no investments, and no credit cards. I do not enjoy my life as it is. Listening to this podcast has helped me better understand the mechanism of my personal financial situation as it relates to larger concepts. I’ve been living in the American Dream that seems to fuel class separation — “You can have stability and happiness if you just work hard enough”. Katie’s delivery of the info makes it palatable and digestible . To the extent that I’ve begun to learn more on my own and have made a few decisions to realign my financial path with what’s actually available to me right now. I don’t think I could have done that if I hadn’t come across this podcast.

I came across Money with Katie after her collab with Kate Kennedy and I fell deeply and madly in love with this podcast. I recently graduated with my PhD and have loved this practical education about money now that I’m making more than 25k as a grad student (yay). Money with Katie has taught me so much about wealth building, taxes, and investments while giving me time to think about my own financial goals for by myself and my growing family. Could not recommend this podcast more for both those who are starting from square one in their personal finance journey and those who are already in deep. Very delighted to have discovered the Rich Girls and Boys community!

Been listening to this show for a couple years and am impressed. Katie always brings great advice and insight to the table. Her guests are interesting and bring a variety of perspectives to the show.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a few months. It’s great. This most recent episode on black market luxury was really interesting, and I wanted to review it specifically because I felt it displayed Katie’s interest/ability around more abstract philosophical topics (e.g. what does it all mean, anyway?). Great work, love the way you think. I have to say, I was really hooked at the closing when Katie brought up the topic of money dysmorphia — HELLO, this is your next episode topic. Please please please do an episode on this. It’s a topic I’ve discussed with many over the few years, particularly in regard to Millennials being the frontier generation of not having traditional success/finance/adult markers of generations past — it’s all related. Last week-ish, LAist published a great article titled ”Young Parents Need Bigger Homes, But Older Angelenos Aren’t Moving” check it out!

MWK has been my FAVORITE podcast for about the last year. I cannot stop sharing these episodes with friends. Katie is the best!!

Financial freedom for the girlies!!! Love this show so much. The Savvy Ladies ep brought me to tears. Thanks for everything you do!

Katie is so approachable and her content is applicable to my 30-something life and goals. Thank you!

As a PTSD psychologist, that episode on financial abuse was so good! Katie has done it again. My favorite financial podcast; I recommend it to everyone. Keep it up Katie!

I am addicted to this podcast and so grateful for the wonderful content, Katie’s gracious and nuanced understanding of poverty and great interview with JL Collins and her absence of a vocal fry. Just wanted to point out TANF is pronounced TANUFF. Keep up the good work!

She’s extremely well educated on the topics she covers. She’s relatable and makes finance easy to understand. She backs up what she says with data. And she interviews incredible guests. How could you not find this podcast valuable?

I love MWK, I have been listening for years now and it’s helped me look at the world in new ways. I have been questioning seemingly innocuous things in the workplace that actually keep the females from being more successful than my male counterparts. I encourage all my friends to listen. And for those saying her money advice is unreasonable, we just passed the $1M net worth mark. And for them record, my spouse and I each grew up in poverty with a single mothers, so this is first generation wealth.

Been listening to this podcast for long enough now to have actually implemented much of the advice and I really appreciate it. Katie is so engaging and has a great perspective. I love how critical she is of our systems while still teaching women how to work smarter within the way our society is set up!

I love this show and Katie’s whole approach and outlook on everything. She doesn’t blame or shame anyone for different financial decisions but gives all the data about why she knows what can help. She really knows her stuff! One small suggestion is please please create more content for unmarried but long-term committed couples! Seems like so much of the couple advice is for people who are dating > maybe living together> engaged > married. As someone in a long-term committed relationship but who isn’t legally married, I need more advice all around in money as a couple, especially when your spending habits and desires in wanting to talk about money differ. 7% of US adults are cohabiting with an unmarried partner. This number appears to now be growing amongst highly educated and middle income to upper middle-income earners— I bet that’s a lot of your audience! Thanks for being such a wonderful guide in all things money!

I love Katie and this podcast so much. Her ability to dive into topics both more philosophical and number driven is fantastic. This is by far the best financial podcast I have tried and it has really opened by eyes. There’s always something new to learn. Thank you Katie!

Katie… Thank you so much for your amazing podcast on teachers today… I was a kindergarten teacher for 35 years… And LOVED my work… It took patience… Honesty… Intelligence… hard work, and dedication… when I graduated in 1973… You could NOT find a job as a teacher… Because they were so many teachers. Fast forward to today -and they are “begging“ for teachers… Putting them on “fast track“ degrees…Bringing them from other countries… It is absolutely a huge problem for our country today… teachers must worry about school shootings… Pressure from administration… Pressure from parents… It is an extremely stressful and “thankless” job! I am extremely concerned about the future of our country and its most “precious treasure”-Our children! Maureen

Great personal finance show. Topics are well researched without being boring. Actionable advice. It also challenged some of my stances and changed my mind on things. For example, I’m now all about the traditional 401k over the Roth 401k due to this podcast. Looking forward to more content and the book.

This review is long overdue for Money With Katie's down-to-earth NO HOLDS BARRED podcast and website. They are excellent real-life resources for financial good practices, tips and information. Basic AND complex money topics are covered in a refreshingly transparent FUN way. Katie's interviews with reputable and diverse experts are amazing! I appreciate her factual information and EXTENSIVE research on every topic. Even at 66, I still devour financial podcasts (financial nerd) and have been financially independent for decades. I continuously share Money With Katie with the folks I help with investing, saving, debt payoff, etc. Money with Katie has helped me understand the financial challenges facing younger generations. The detailed links to her many deep dives are always listed at the end of her podcasts- MUCH appreciated! Katie has also dragged me out of my Stone Age approach to travel rewards. Well done Katie, Henah and the MWK Team! Please keep them coming!

I am absolutely obsessed with MWK. Mondays and Wednesdays are my favorite days of the week because I get to listen to my fave podcast. My only complaint is that it’s only 2 days a week and not 7. Come on Katie, can’t you increase your work x 3.5 so my daily commutes are more enjoyable and educational? Keep it up team, you’re doing important work! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
