The How to Money podcast gives financial advice in terminology everyone understands. Matt Altmix started a business with his wife. The early stages taught him how to live well with limited income. His friend, Joel Larsgaard, works in mass media, covering financial well-being. Together, they help listeners learn to live debt-free, make smart investments, and secure their future.
Altmix and Larsgaard admit financial stability alone doesn't yield happiness. But they believe careful spending produces a robust life. The How to Money podcast hosts agree discretionary spending adds enjoyment to life. But they say there's a smart way to do it. One indulgence they allow is craft beer. In each episode, they try a new beer and give listeners tasting notes on it. They reveal other personal preferences, too, like biking whenever possible.
One episode discusses the savings bikes provide. The hosts give helpful tips for riding a bike to work without getting too sweaty. Their other fun methods for saving include planning meaningful yet affordable weddings. How to Money provides surprising insight for selling used cars. Listeners learn what one seller got for a car Carvana only offered him $300 for.
The podcast includes episodes that answer listeners' questions. One man's mom recommends he upgrade his home as an investment. He's concerned a bigger house will cost more to maintain. His mom is a multimillionaire whose investments enabled her early retirement. Listeners hear whether Larsgaard and Altmix agree with the son or his mother.
