Four podcasts to help you manage money

Four must-listen podcasts for small business owners

Managing your money can be tricky. Large companies often employ big teams simply to manage their finances. Affluent families hire professional accountants and investors to oversee their wealth. While many Americans may turn to accountants for their taxes or solicit advice from professional investors, many also manage part or all of their finances on their own. Fortunately, by tuning in to the right podcasts, you can quickly build up your financial knowledge.

If you're new to personal finance and managing money, the DIY Money podcast is a great starting point. Hosts Quint Tatro and Daniel Czuln take a look at many of the most common financial challenges, such as holiday savings, paying down student loans and diversifying your investment portfolio.

When it comes to personal finance, Dave Ramsey is one of the leading names in the industry. With an audience numbering in the millions, Ramsey has helped countless people improve their finances. Along with a team of cohosts, Ramsey covers a number of investing topics, like real estate investing and managing a 401(k).

You can afford anything, but not everything. Sound a bit like an oxymoron? On her podcast Afford Anything, Paula Pant offers advice for spending money and acquiring the stuff you want. Often, to spend or not to spend is a trade-off. You can take that vacation to beautiful Italy, but you may have to forgo investing in a rental property.

Many folks are broadly familiar with personal finance, like setting up an investing account, taking out a mortgage, etc. If you've ever dug deeper, you may have come to realize just how complex our financial system is. In his podcast Money for the Rest of Us, J. David Stein takes deep dives into various elements of our financial system and covers complex topics, such as protecting your wealth amid high inflation.
