Today I’m bringing you a conversation I had with my friend Justin King for his podcast, which is called the Retirement Cafe podcast. Many of you will doubtless listen to that show as well as this one, and if you don’t you definitely should, especially if you’re heading towards retirement.

Justin asked me to interview him on his show about his book which was released on 12th September - the Retirement Cafe Handbook. I’ve read a pre-release copy and I’m not exaggerating when I say that it was an outstanding read.

Today we’re going to talk about the DANGER ZONE That’s period of time from when you retire to when all your available income sources are coming in, usually the time of your state pension. This is the period where you’ll have the best health, so you’ll want to enjoy that and spend your money accordingly.

We’re on the home straight in this season now, and today, we’re talking about the decisions we need to make at the point of retirement. It’s probably the biggest transition of all in our financial lives, so this is an important episode.

Today we’re going to look at the things we need to do as we approach retirement. We always say that retirement is THE point in time where everyone would benefit from taking professional advice, but at least we can give you the main things to be thinking about and to talk to your adviser about.

Today we thought we would take stock of where we’ve come in the season and also to help you with reviewing the transition points of the flow chart, as they apply to your life. A regular review is essential for being intentional with our finances, and it’s at those review points that we can take a look at where we are and see if there’s anything we need to change.

So…this has been a lot of work! 500 episodes over ten and a half years, not to mention over 460 videos. Today we’re going to throw out the usual structure of the show and hear from lots of different voices, some friends of the show but also quite a few listeners, which will be excellent!
