This week, we have a special guest! Tom from ThatFinanceShow joins us for a Q&A session on financial advice, financial independence, and all things to do with his channel. A qualified CFA with more enthusiasm for FIRE than a pyromaniac in charge of a match factory, Tom joins us to answer questions and chat about the latest financial news.

We kick things off with a game from Steve D. Following the success of WhoTube? Steve brings out the second collection of YouTubers for Steve W, Paul, and Tom to recognise. Find out who Tom follows and why this game is Paul’s favourite, as Steve W looks delighted to hear Paul’s voice coming out of the screen. 

The rest of the video features a question and answer session with Tom. Paul kicks us off with a discussion of why Tom started making YouTube videos. Next is a discussion of the FIRE community and how to think about setting financial goals with Steve W. And there’s a discussion with Steve D of workplace pensions and what you should think about before deciding whether or not to opt out of them.
