Airbnbs are terrible for neighborhoods!!!

I can’t stand all you Airbnb strangers in and out of my neighborhood all the time! No security. Just an added on Airbnb police division funded by the drug industry. You want a bunch of strangers next to YOU, all the time paid for by selling drugs???? We’ve got FIVE on my little AZ street that used to be so nice!
AmalfiCoastLove 🍸☀️

Thank You!

I love the current 10-20 minutes podcasts! I only have a short time before my 9-10 hour shift every day. The condensed versions are a wonderful way to teach us the necessity’s in a short amount of time. Thank You!
A. Maguire

Advice isn’t for the poors

Negotiation episode literally first episode is mage for people with perfect or very high credit. Will continue searching for a money podcast for the poors in the real world. Seeing reviews she’s proDoge glad I caught on quickly this isn’t for us
@MindsetShifted

finally investing (and it wasn’t scary!)

For the longest time, I thought investing was only for rich people or ‘finance bros.’ This podcast made it all finally make sense, and I actually opened my first investment account!
@FinanceMadeEasy

finance made fun and relatable

Honestly, I usually find finance podcasts either boring or condescending, but not this one. The host makes it feel like chatting with a friend, and I’ve learned so much.
@SideHustlerJo

from daydream to side hustle

For years I daydreamed about starting my own business but always wrote it off as ‘too risky.’ This podcast gave me the push I needed, and now my side hustle is actually taking off!
@CreditClimber

real results (40-point credit score boost!)

I followed the credit repair steps from the podcast and saw my credit score jump 40 points in two months. The advice actually works if you use it!
@MarriageGoals

money talks, marriage wins

My husband and I used to argue every time we talked about money. We tried the advice from the ‘Couples and Money’ episode, and it totally transformed our conversations.
@DebtFreeSoon

hope after hitting rock bottom

Last year I was drowning in medical bills after an unexpected health scare, and I felt completely hopeless. The episode on negotiating medical bills changed everything.
@YoungInvestor91

from fearful to financially savvy

I'm a 23-year-old who used to be terrified of checking my bank account. This podcast helped me turn that fear into motivation. I actually sat down and created my first budget.
@GotTheRaise

got the raise, thanks to this show

I’ve been underpaid for years but never had the guts to speak up. After listening to the episode on salary negotiation, I finally asked for a raise. And guess what – I got it!
@ParentOnABudget

setting my kids up for success

As a single mom of two, I constantly worry about my kids’ financial future. The episode on raising financially smart kids was exactly what I needed.
@BreakingFree22

breaking the cycle for my family

As the daughter of immigrants, money was a taboo topic in my house. The episode on generational wealth really hit home, and for the first time I feel like I have the tools to break the cycle.
@DancingQueen88

came for the clickbait, stayed for the content!

Not gonna lie, I came here for the clickbaity title but stayed because Nicole actually knows her stuff. So many financial podcasts are dry but this one is FUN and actually useful.
@SingleDadLife

breaking the cycle

Nicole’s episode on financial trauma hit me HARD. Grew up in a household where money was always a stress point, and now I see how it’s affecting the way I save (or don’t save).
@LateToTheGame99

better late than never!

Wish I found this podcast sooner! The Portfolio Playbooks episode was a goldmine. I used to think investing was just for ‘rich people,’ but now I actually feel like I can start building wealth.
@JessInProgress

literally made me money lol

I was about to do my taxes this weekend and then I heard Nicole’s episode on tax loopholes and realized I was missing SO much! Took a second look and actually caught a deduction I didn’t know I qualified for.
@GamerGuy_123

wait... what?!

Yo, the DOGE episode had me rethinking everything I thought I knew about government policies. Nicole always keeps it real and actually makes this stuff interesting.
@afterthestorm

had me in tears

Literally CRIED listening to Nicole talk about losing her home in the fire. I lost everything in a flood 3 years ago and no one understands how deep that grief goes. Money isn’t just money—it’s safety, stability, a life.
@MommyNeedsCoffee

no more excuses!

I always worry about my kids' future, but the episode with Pamela Maass Garrett changed the game for me. I’m going to actually set up a trust now instead of just ‘thinking about it’ for years.
@Mike1985

finally facing my finances

I used to literally get sweaty palms just thinking about my credit card bills. Nicole’s episode on conquering debt was the wake-up call I needed. I finally spent a whole afternoon sorting out my finances for the first time ever, and it feels amazing!
@learningtoadult

just what i needed!

Omg, the episode about investing in commodities was SO needed! I’ve been trying to diversify my portfolio but was too scared to dive in. Nicole broke it down in a way that finally made sense to me.
@SimplySam87

this one hit me right in the feels!

The episode with Catt Sadler really hit home. I went through a divorce last year, and hearing how she navigated the financial side of things made me feel less alone. No one talks enough about how money plays such a HUGE role in starting over.
azertyxxvues

All the white liberals are crying bc she likes DOGE LOL

The one star reviews are unreal I have never listened to 1 episode but to see loyal I mean so called loyal fans turn on her bc of 1 episode just goes to show how stupid you people are and need this nice lady more then you wackos even Know. Ur just blinded by pure hatred of Trump and Elon. How stupid
Bignjr

Promoting lies after the election

Let me start by saying I’m a libertarian. I used to enjoy your show because it promotes useful information that helps consumers and regular people. However the comments by the host are clear. She supports DOGE and the lies of how much money in the billions they are facing the American people. I don’t think anybody wants wasteful spending by the Gov but it’s absurd to look at the data and facts and say DOGE is in fact cutting costs without commenting on all the damage they are causing also. Ridiculous that this host has chosen to support the lies
brittareyouok

DOGE Support?

This podcast would need to be more neutral rather than offering views that align with one party or another for me to continue listening. Disappointing
Chris is Selfish

Shocked

Absolutely shocked that Nicole is unable to distinguish between the benefits of strategic disruption in business and tech and politically-driven disruption to government services. If she can’t understand the difference here, I don’t trust her with financial recommendations.
the fake jane

No Need to Fact Check??

DOGE has been far from transparent & accurate. To get onboard without stating that, SHOCKING! Makes me question how transparent & accurate you are.
Andi7002

Listener Lost

I would trade everything I ever learned in this podcast if I knew an episode about DOGE being merely “unconventional” was in store. How you can justify the suffering and mass firings of others for a headline is beyond me.
Ron Bergen’s

Gone full MAGA

Disappointed to learn someone as professional and savvy as Nicole Latin is a big DOGE fan, parroting Elon’s talking points, and seemingly taking his reported savings data at face value.
SweetTeaTexan

Lost me at pro DOGE

It’s sort of disgusting how gleeful she was that hundreds of thousands of federal workers are losing their jobs, people are losing funding for programs like headstart, SNAP and Medicaid.
JSquared59

DOGE is garbage a big grift - shame in the framing of its goodwill (not so much)

This was not the best episode sadly quite surprising and supportive of the billionaire class and the tax cuts received driving up debt. The destruction of good is evil. Fat can be trimmed from everywhere but this is a hatchet being wielded by rich for their own gain. Can’t believe how this is being framed as anything but extreme, self interested, and intentional ruin people’s lives (superiority complex heading toward ethnic cleansing in disguise of bringing down debt which is largely created by tax cuts for the ultra wealthy). Disappointed with this episode for sure.
Scotti Mac

Sell Out

Completely lost all credibility with her take on Doge. Lost a loyal listener.
Fancypantsval

One of a Kind Podcaster & Show

I’ve been a listener of the show for over a year, and I've always found Nicole’s advice incredibly helpful. Her genuine warmth towards her guests is truly inspiring – it's clear how deeply she cares about helping others. My heart broke when she shared about the loss of her home in the LA fires. Her willingness to share her story and commitment to continuing to help others during this overwhelmingly difficult time speaks volumes ab her character and strength. Please stay strong. I hope this comment & rating can offer some small measure of support and love back to you.
-cuppycake1996

New Fan!

This show is amazing! I love Nicole and I value her take on all things in the money world! Crazy good info and knowledge.
-Hazeld

Great Insight!

Nicole does an impeccable job bringing in guests with great answers for all the topics. I especially enjoy all of the “Change Maker” episodes!
-popcornfan4445

Worth Your Time

Recently discovered this gem! So worth listening to-well done! Definitely a rising favorite
-dsbarber3

Best I have Heard

So many of the financial podcasts are dry and lack clear advice or don’t appeal to the imperfect people in the real world. Money Rehab is far different from these-this show is bright, upbeat, and offers realistic advice that is applicable to everyone! Keep up the good work!
-KittyKat395

Great Show!

I really enjoy listening to Money Rehab! I learn so many good things from every episode that will help me now and in the future!

I love the diversity in the guests that Nicole brings on the show! There is so much learning and they cover so many great topics! I truly appreciate the time and effort that is devoted to making this such an incredible podcast!
-Mandipal

One of the Best there is

So glad I stumbled across this show! I never received any kind of formal financial education(as I’m sure most do not) so this podcast has been a lifesaver! Nicoleis so easy and fun to listen to, and she and her guests have such great advice based on their own experiences. I love this show!
-Opialin

Upbeat

Love the upbeat tone of this podcast! Nicole really seems to enjoy what she’s doing and engaging with her guests and listeners! There is so much bomb info in even her shortest episodes!!
-allygallo50

Favorite

Money Rehab is my new favorite podcast! It totally gets me through my cardio at the gym. I get to learn and lean at the same time!! One of my favorite episodes was the one where she gave critical email tips. I love that she gives worldly advice along with financial tips.
-madisunsheni

Nicole Is a Gift

Nicole is such a good show host-her interviews are great! She draws you in and covers the most relevant topics. Her guests are also incredible!
XChrisAdz77

Got me inspired

I’ve been a big listener to Money Rehab. She talks about money in a way that feels approachable, like she really understands what it’s like to struggle and make progress. Her guidance on setting financial goals has completely shifted my mindset. I actually believe I can achieve them now. Every episode leaves me feeling inspired and ready to take on my finances.
LauraC_Love

Made for ME

I used to think financial advice wasn’t for people like me just regular folks trying to make ends meet but she proves otherwise. Her episode about cutting unnecessary expenses without sacrificing joy was a total game-changer for me. I’m now saving money in ways I never thought possible, and it feels so empowering
