SHOWS THAT TACKLE WITH FINANCES

At times people just wan to watch shows to be entertained, others want to be educated and insight, but there are some shows that have the ability to do both. Here are some recommended shows that tackle through the financial aspects of life.

Mad Money has two main features that have made his show such a success. The first is his encyclopedic knowledge of the stock market – its boom-and-bust cycles, the factors that affect different industries, even the personalities behind some of its most successful companies.

Jim Carmer, the host, draws on this knowledge not just to provide stock tips, but to educate viewers about how the market works. His goal, as he puts it in his “Mad Money Manifesto,” is to “level the playing field” by helping ordinary people invest on the same level as the pros.

There is also Billions, that’s currently on Netflix. Apart from the awesome casting in this TV series, be thrilled by the day-to-day work of the hedge fund king, Bobby Axelrod as he conquers the industry in the process of making his billions.

The TV series follows the extravagant life of Bobby Axelrod while the U.S. district attorney finds ways to pin him down for insider trading. We shall not go on any further to avoid leaking spoilers to you. Netflix has recently released its sixth season earlier in January 2022, making it a total of 60 episodes for you to binge-watch over the weekends.

Lastly, there’s The Financial Diet. Unlike old-school financial shows that started out on TV and later made the jump to YouTube, “The Financial Diet” is strictly a YouTube channel — one that’s earned more than 76 million views since its debut in 2015. Created by millennials, for millennials, “The Financial Diet” attempts to cover “Everything you wanted to know about money + living better, even for the total beginner.”
