    There are better options out there
    Full disclosure I only listened to one episode, so maybe others are better. I listen to the stop living paycheck to paycheck that was just released in January 2025. Allison seems sweet and well intention. The information is so basic. I can't imagine it being helpful to anyone except someone who's never thought about money or budgeting. It's like AI. Googled tips to save money and so information jack rounded up most generic and overused budgeting "tips" that have been around forever.. earn extra income! Cut spending! No morning lattes! I also felt like I was being read to the entire time like she had the entire script time for g on a paper and was reading off of it instead of having a conversation or talking to me. But maybe that's just a personal podcast style preference. I

    I have listened to every single episode! I look forward to my commute every Thursday when a new episode drops. Thank you for sharing such great content.

    I love them all
    I just listened to episode #171 and found it very inspiring and wanted to write a quick review. Truth is, I find all of Allison’s podcast encouraging, supportive and informative. Something people don’t mention is the tone and volume of her voice - it’s just right. Easy to listen to, and her action steps keep me from just collecting information, I can often put them into practice right away !

    Easy and Helpful Tips
    I was introduced to this podcast through a group recommendation and have been loving the easy to implement tips that are provided in each episode. I have been recently working on my money mindfulness and this podcast has helped greatly!
  • chrlstnblonde
    WOW! Just WOW!!!
    As another listener stated, I grew up with Dave Ramsey, but Allison’s podcast gripped me from the very first episode that I listen to! I have been drowning in debt for many years, working two jobs, and still have very little to show for it! I listen to two of her podcast today, talking about impulse spending, and that is totally me! I have already started going through my email and sending ads to junk mail unsubscribing from emails, and even deleting my TikTok, which is the source of a majority of my impulse spending! I just finished filling out her goodbye debt tracker, and it is one of the most amazing resources I have ever seen! I am excited to get started on my journey to say goodbye to my debt! Thank you, Allison for all that you are doing on your weekly podcast and for the amazing guest speakers that you bring on! You have changed my life! I can’t wait to give you an update about all the debt I have paid off!

    Refreshing and Realistic Budgeting Advice
    I’ve been a long-time listener of Dave Ramsey, and while his advice is invaluable, I recently discovered this podcast and it’s a breath of fresh air. The budgeting advice is excellent and aligns with Ramsey’s principles but in a more realistic and flexible manner. The information provided is incredibly useful, and I appreciate the less strict approach. I’m thrilled to have found this new show and look forward to learning more from it!

    The best un-doing of what I thought I knew
    I had a desire to change my money habits but I felt that they ways I was always thought never made since. I stumbled upon Alison when I was on instagram and that day was the beginning of a wonderful undoing of every concept I had about money and budgeting. She has helped me heal my thoughts on money and budgeting. Through this, I have been excited, saved and grown more financially than I have in my entire life. Giver her a chance, and you forever be thankful you did. Thanks Allison for undoing everything I thought I knew and changing the way I do everything financially!
  • Susangmartin
    Favorite New Podcast
    I found Allison when she was a guest on another podcast I listen to (I think it was Clever Girls Know, but I could be wrong), and looked her up because I loved the way she spoke. She is warm, smart, and down-to-earth. I love listening to a host who not only covers a topic I’m passionate about, but is a good speaker— few filler words, palpable excitement, etc. Allison is intelligent without sounding patronizing, and she is a joy to listen to. So far I’ve blazed through a dozen or so episodes, and I will probably continue catching up on her back-catalog between newly released eps. I would also recommend following Inspired Budget on instagram, because she posts often without spamming your feed. Thanks for the great find!
  • Andieo1997
    Love This Podcast!

    Fun and educational!
    I look forward to this podcast every week! Allison reminds us how money and budgeting affect every aspect of our lives. She’s also funny and witty and makes budgeting fun!:)
  • not JUST a teacher
    Just a teacher???
    I have enjoyed your podcast and I’ve learned a lot. However, I am so disappointed that in a recent episode you said “I was JUST a teacher”. I am a teacher, and this kind of comment is what destroys us and respect for our profession.
  • Roxie271983

    Binge worthy!
    Currently binging this entire show! Not sure what I’ll do once it’s over, probably re-listen. I’ve taken so many notes and have implemented a few of the ideas already. Super informative and eye-opening. Thank you!

    Fantastic Listen!!!!
    Ladies: THIS IS YOUR PODCAST. We love Allison's approach to educating women on elevating their investments, enhancing their budgeting habits, and savings
  • allisons amazing!!
    Thankful for you Allison!
    Thank you So much for putting this content out! You have no idea how many lives you are changing and helping! I grew up in a home where saving was taught and was important which I am super fortunate for but life goes on and everyone needs a reset as well as further guidance with getting granular on your expenses! Allison has helped me so much already and I’m a newbie to her program and podcasts! I cannot wait to keep learning about ways to save, improve credit, invest! As a woman this is so empowering as I always relied on my dad to help me with investments. I am so excited to get ahead of it on my own! Thanks for all you do Allison and for sharing your knowledge!!

    The best plan ever
    Allison and Inspired Budget fell in my lap at the right time in my life—when I needed to make a change to achieve my goal of tightening up my spending. I have created a binder with all the printable handouts to stay focused and on the right path. I’m so excited to see how I do 6 months- 1 years from now.

    #046: Managing Your Money When You Have Depression & Anxiety
    I'm not going to lie to you - I'm a little bit nervous about releasing this episode. Partly because I'm talking about something that I have experience in, but not professional training in. And also, because I'm going to be very vulnerable and open here. I'm going to be sharing something about myself that not a lot of people know about. And usually, when they do find out about it, they're pretty shocked. And that is: I struggle with anxiety and depression. I need to add this disclaimer: I am not a therapist. I am not a psychiatrist. My experiences with the subject that I'm speaking on today stem from my own personal experiences. If you've ever battled with anxiety or depression, you understand that our money doesn't care about our mental status. Life still goes on. Bills still need to be paid. This is why it's so important to create systems and safeguards for our money so that when our mental state isn't the best, our money can still do what it needs to do. In this episode, I'm sharing the 5 things you can set in motion TODAY to ensure you thrive financially in the midst of anxiety, depression, and/or financial stress!

    Judgement-free
    I just recently found Inspired Budget on Instagram and started listening to the podcast and I love them both! She explains things in a way that is easy to understand and isn’t judgmental. I have already learned so much and it’s refreshing to see a different outlook on budgeting that isn’t restricting or where you feel deprived of the things you enjoy.
  • JenLynn K
    New to this podcast
    Just found this podcast and I am so happy I did. I love the easy to follow recommendations and the practical way she approaches debt and budgeting.
  • Rosalia Abraham
    Great Advice
    I first came across Inspired Budget on Instagram and fell in love with how she does things! She teaches you so well and in a way that doesn’t make you feel stupid for not having this information your entire life. She’s really here for YOU. She has such a passion for budgeting and helping people with the information she’s gotten over the years with personal evidence to prove that anyone can do it. I just started getting into the podcast and I LOVE it!! She doesn’t tell you what you NEED to do because let’s be real, any time someone tells you that you need to do something you end up not doing it. Instead she offers suggestions of how to combat feelings associated with budgeting and spending money so you can take what information you need and start integrating it into your life little by little. Any time I go full force and cut things cold turkey, I ALWAYS relapse in my decisions and go back to what was easy like spending money impulsively. Now, I have the tools I need to better my budget without feeling discouraged for not having done these things sooner. Thank you Allison! ❤️

    Love Inspired Budget!
    Allison has lots of helpful tips for managing money. I especially love her non-judgmental, encouraging tone.
  • emeraldcitylady
    Helpful, and indeed inspirational!
    This podcast has helped me immensely. Thanks to Allison’s medical bills episode, I was able to negotiate a 20% discount on a medical payment when I paid in full. I had no idea I could ask for this before Allison’s podcast. Thanks to her, I saved $150 and learned a valuable lesson in turn.
  • Mg814924

    Great inspiring podcast
    I discovered Allison on another podcast and she was so friendly and relatable I decided to listen to her own podcast. It’s great! I love that it’s short and sweet and she has interesting guests speaking about personal finance. It helps make you feel like you’re not alone in your finance journey.
