The Meaningful Money Personal Finance Podcast

Financial success is about repeating some simple steps over and over for a long time. Contrary to popular opinion right now, it isn’t about buying Bitcoin. But over that long time, you’ll get in your own way, and in this show I show you how to recognise this and what to do about it.

MeaningfulMoney was created to help you manage your own finances. And yet, I often get asked about when it makes sense to seek advice from a professional. In this Greatest Hits episode I read an email from a listener which prompts me to share when you SHOULDN’T and when you SHOULD seek advice.

Investing is a long-term game. And over a long time, things can happen, which means you need to keep an eye on your investments as the years go by.

Financial success generally takes a while. And because that’s the case, we have to make decisions, often the same decision over and over again. And all the while we’re being bombarded with reasons to make the wrong decisions, or deferring decisions when they need to be made. What if you could automate many of those decisions so that they happen without your input? In this session from 2015, I’ll be showing you how.

With markets still riding high, there is lots of talk about an impending correction. There’s no doubt, it’ll come at some point, and that’s about the time many people start making bad decisions about their investments. So today’s greatest hits show is a redux of a show from August 2014 about keeping your head in a financial storm.
