My new podcast: Matrimoney!

It is my pleasure to introduce Matrimoney (pronounced just like matrimony), a new podcast that Chris and I are co-hosting(!). On the show we’re talking about life, marriage and our money.

When I had the idea for this podcast a few months ago I hesitated because I wasn’t sure I had the bandwidth to produce a new show. But I couldn’t stop thinking of how fun it would be to podcast with Chris and I’m so glad we went for it. Talking openly about personal finances is something both Chris and I love and we both love talking to each other ;). 

We have two episodes that you can listen to right now and you can listen on iTunes, on Stitcher, directly from our website or on your favorite podcast app. Subscribe to the show and you’ll get a new episode next Monday and then every other week on Mondays after that. New episodes of Matrimoney will be staggered with The Girl Next Door Podcast so you’ll have a new friendly podcast episode to listen to each week.

If you like the show an iTunes star rating or review helps us reach new listeners, thank you!

I hope you enjoy the show, thanks so much for listening!

    Awesome podcast! I listened to the first two this morning. Y’all have a great dynamic, too.

    Topics I’d like to hear about: deciding what big bills to pay off, juggling childcare costs, and more about simplifying your life. Also, tips for convincing a spouse to lean more heavily towards the paying down debt faster sort of mentality. We’re on that path but not as heavily as I would like to be.

    We went from having minimal bills a few years ago because we went on a year and a half hiatus from ‘regular life’ to do long distance backpacking and now we’re back to regular life with all of the general trappings—which is fine, but I like that early retirement idea after tasting it a bit already.

    Keep it up! I think y’all have a keeper for sure!

    Hi- I’m a longtime reader and girl next door listener. This new endeavor is icing on the cake. Great job. My husband and I have a 2 year old and both work full time, and it’s so inspiring to see you make time for creative projects. Can’t wait for more.

      Awesome, thanks, Jill! It takes forethought to make time for creative projects but I find the more I do them the more motivated I am to carve out time, and I find it energizing (for the most part) so its kind of like making me time. Thanks so much for listening!

    Yippee! I’m excited to listen to Matrimoney in addition to GND. GREAT topic. I’m sure lots of folks will be interested to hear both your and Chris’ thoughts on the matter as a married couple. I ditto Misti’s suggestion for help negotiating with a spouse regarding an aggressive debt repayment plan. (Or maybe I just need to convince myself?) I find that my husband is interested in my idea but then I’m usually the one to ignore the budget at times since I’m also in charge of our finances. Anyway, so excited that you gave this a go!
