Take the 2026 Listener Survey

01/20/26 - Tuesday

January 20, 2026

 

Hey friend,

Before we plan another episode, series, or spicy money take for 2026, we need your help.

We want to know what YOU actually want from Frugal Friends this year.

Not what sounds impressive. Not what you think you should want. What would actually help your life and your money.

So we made a short listener survey, and we would love for you to take it.

And when we say short, we mean short… It’s one question.

We just want to know WHY you listen to Frugal Friends. That question alone will help decide things like:

  • What topics we should talk about more (or way less)

  • What formats you enjoy most

  • What you are currently struggling with financially

  • What kind of support would actually move the needle for you in 2026

It takes just a few minutes, and it genuinely shapes what we create next.

A lot of what we do exists because listeners like you told us what you needed.

There are a few other questions but they’re totally optional.

We’d love to feature more listeners on the show so if you read through them, have an answer to one AND want to be featured on the show, answer it and we could be reaching out to you soon!

 On the Pod this week 📣

If you are in a “new year, let’s do this smarter” mindset, today’s episode is for you.

These are not extreme, joy-killing habits. They are the realistic, sustainable ones we actually practice in our own lives.

The kind that quietly save you money without making you feel deprived or burned out by February.

Listen on YouTube, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts if you need a reset, a little motivation, or proof that frugality does not have to be miserable.

One small action for today

Take the survey. That’s it.

We’re accepting responses through Jan 30th. Future you will thank you when the podcast, newsletter, and resources you get this year feel like they were made specifically for your life.

Thanks for being here and for helping us build something that will have an impact far beyond us.

Warmly,
Jen & Jill

P.S. Truly, thank you for taking the time. Your feedback is one of the most valuable things we get to read all year.
