Best Personal Finance Podcasts for Young adults
These days you can listen to a podcast about virtually anything. One of my favorite topics, naturally, is personal finance. Below I’ve compiled the best personal finance podcasts for young adults. Young adults (mostly millennials) struggle with a variety of financial issues these days such as an overpriced housing market, student loans, and a fluctuating market. These personal finance podcasts can help you navigate the complexities of personal finance and make the best financial decisions for your life.
Chase Purpose Not Money is Patrice’s mantra. Her personal brand, extending beyond podcasts, focuses on shifting one’s mindset beyond just accumulating monetary wealth and material possessions. She defines her 20s as a time of gaining influence and her 30s as a time of rebuilding. For many young adults struggling with their own personal growth, this personal finance blog helps provide a more holistic view of personal growth and wealth building from the inside out.
There is nothing more millennial than a side hustle. Back in my parent’s day, if you had more than one job it’s because you were seriously struggling. Now, many people have side hustles that have grown from personal passions and entrepreneurial dreams. According to Nick, he started this podcast because he “believes in the hustle”. His podcasts focus on different topics around side hustles such as blogging, consulting, and even domain flipping. Many of his guests are running their own side hustles and call in with questions such as how to grow affiliate income or how to expand their consumer base. For young adults seeking guidance in personal finance, this podcast can be a great inspiration for taking that first step to start your own side hustle.
No personal finance podcast list would be complete without Graham Stephan. One of the more well-known personal finance gurus, Graham Stephan has gained notoriety by gaining millionaire status at a young age (mostly via real estate). His podcasts feature guests with various financial backgrounds calling in with personal finance questions. Graham covers everything from creating wealth, tackling student loan debt, and navigating changes in income. His podcast is great for young adults because it features a multitude of topics in easy to digest language. He covers a lot of the basics with a no nonsense yet empathetic tone.
If you’ve spent some time in the personal finance world, you’ve probably heard of Dave Ramsey. Millions of people listen in each week as he helps guide them out of debt and on the right path to financial freedom. He has a no-nonsense approach to finance and exhibits little flexibility in his planning. In fact, he prescribes his 7 baby steps program on how to get out of debt and start building wealth. Some of his advice may seem a little counter to young adult/millennial culture. For example, he is very anti-credit card and anti-student loans. However, it is truly the no-nonsense, grab the bull by the horns approach to personal finance that this young generation needs. The pill may be hard to swallow but w our generation needs some tough financial love. While I may not agree with all his POVs on spending and personal finance, I do think his advice comes from a place of experience.
If you’re looking for honest, no bull sh*t, and friendly personal finance lessons, look no further. The podcasts feel more like a conversation with friends over a few good beers. He covers everything from evergreen content like stock investing like ETF and REITs alongside more subjective content like “Why Rich People are Cheap”. For young adults who are looking for a more conversational approach to personal finance, Listen Money Matters is the perfect podcast. They also approach wealth building the good old-fashioned way: hard work and determination.
