The How To Save Like A Bear podcast aims to help big savers make more money and spend it wisely. (Hi! I’m Bear! I share my mistakes and discoveries).
Expect a variety of money saving tips rundowns, recommendations for other content creators that helped me succeed financially, and a sprinkling of analysis of TV & film land to help you think outside the box. Of course I occasionally discuss how I think being autistic affects my approach to money too in a way that might apply to you even if you’re neurotypical.
