Financially inclined from Marketplace is a podcast you can trust to help you get serious about your money

so you can build a life you've always dreamed of.

I'm the host, Janelli Esp Spinald, and each week I ask

experts important money questions, like how to negotiate job offers, how to choose a college

that you can afford, and how to talk about money with friends and family. Listen to financially

inclined wherever you get your podcasts.
