    So disappointed that I lost time watching this

    I hoped until the very end that at least one good advice will be given :( but no.... a lot of clichés and that's it. Waitress who wants to be an artist, the football star who doesn't know how to mange his money and at the end he wants to give back to his community (this was already cringe) and so on. Everybody was buying things from Amazon and that was the problem. They even had a home renovation project included because that sells or they just run out of things to film? It could have been a short film of 15 minutes and even like that it would have been to long :( I don't think I will watch a netflix documentary ever again this aren't documentaries this are bad reality shows.

    Earn more. Spend less. Duh...

    Supposedly an "informative documentary... on managing money", Get Smart with Money instead offers more reason not to move to or live in the United States. We have a waitress who makes $4000 a month, spends almost $200 a week on takeout, then claims to have no money left to pay for anti-depressants. Which is more damning, that or the fact she thinks the only way to deal with her anxiety and depression is to take medication? Next we have a young mother who is deep in debt with a penchant for impulsive spending and it does not occur to her that she should trade retail therapy for actual psychotherapy. Then comes the NFL athlete who earned more with his first professional pay check than most people on the planet earn in a lifetime crying that he has financial worries. Finally the stay-at-home dad and his life-coach wife whose issue is her curiously skyrocketing income from empowering women and his apparent joblessness? These sound like manufactured difficulties to me and insulting to those facing real hardship.

    It is difficult to have sympathy for these people because they are so swept up by the ideals of financial and material success in their society that they do not take pause and ask themselves what they actually value in life. Unfortunately, they are no closer to examining their own values and definition of success when they have these dubious experts impose their values on them. If it was so easy making money by investing, there would not be poor people left on this planet. Where there are winners, there will always be losers; for some to gain, others have to lose. This is simply the way the world works. It is ironic that one of them pointed out that money is a "tool". If it is indeed a tool, what explains their obsession over it and the idea of early retirement? Instead of taking advantage of one's talents to make money, they could focus on living a self-actualised life led according to one's values. I would argue that it is the collective obsession with wealth that is making Americans mentally unwell. They have so much compared to other parts of the world, but yet remain so deeply dissatisfied.

    Worst investment advice ever

    Can be watched as comedy. But as documentary it is all around an insult to your intelligence if you know basic arithmetics and very basic financial knowledge. And if not, it's misleading and unsound financial advice.

    Some nuggets of gold from these so called "financial experts":

    • Put all your money on S&P 500 bro, you feel me? It returns %10(no, it's not) you will be a millionaire. Google warren buffet bruh, he is the best.


    • Put 8k every month in S&P 500, you will retire as a couple in 5 years(!) with 2 kids (!) and at age 40 (!). (Do you have a calculator?)


    • Bro I bought apple and Facebook shares too! Man you couldn't do better.


    This documentary was I think shot during the legendary covid bull rally. So everyone seemed happy with profits. My worry is some people watching it now will start deploying all their money to these risk assets unproportionally and get hammered.

    I also don't understand the dream of early retirement and stop working. What are you gonna do after you retire at age 40? Sit all day at beach? (Probably you can't afford it anyway living off the interest of your s&p500) Can't you do anything useful for the world which you also enjoy doing and can also get paid?

    Pretty simple point

    The show is ok. However it always drives me nuts when I see these HUGE cars for just 1 or 2 people and the DAILY takeout orders and then the same people complaining about money. It's just not serious. Also, 300$ for a phone, monthly.

    Yes, we people live in different realities. And yes, it's completely possible and achievable to live within your means and save. This feeling of freedom can not be compared with anything.

    And no, a family of 3 doesn't NEED more than 2 bedrooms. A family of 4 doesn't NEED more than 3 bedrooms. Anything more is done for boasting how successful you are. Not for upgrading the quality of your life. You just have more rooms to take care of. More cars to maintain. More clothes to store. You get the point.

    A great documentary on the very basics of personal finance.

    In a world of nearly limitless possibilities and scenarios that will affect ones personal finances, this documentary follows a select few individuals with different stories of their own.

    Get Smart with Money is aimed at the most basic level of personal finance but it also tries to relate to as many income levels as possible.

    If you follow your finances closely and manage your money well then this documentary is only going to serve as pure entertainment for you, as it did for me. There are no new or groundbreaking ideas shared within this hour and a half long video. It was interesting to see the lives of various individuals at different stages in their careers but nearly the same level of knowledge about personal finance.

    If you are lost in your personal finance journey then this is a good starting point. Latch on to one, two, or all of these financial advisors and learn more than what is shared in the documentary. They only lay out the foundation on what you need to do to fully experience a life changing financial mindset.

    This documentary definitely worth watching by anyone who enjoys listening to personal finances stories, however, if you are actively against the basic fundamentals then you will be annoyed at the advice given. Typically, the people who I see getting annoyed at basic advice have an unrealistic expectation on the rest of society and cannot see who the targeted audience is. Just because something isn't for you, doesn't mean it's bad for the masses.
