We’ve arrived at session number 25 , and we’re going to be talking about Wills and Powers of Attorney. Two-thirds of people in the UK don’t have a will. Far fewer than that have a Power of Attorney in place. We’re going to be talking about what these important documents are, and the steps you […]

Here we are at session number 23 , and we’re going to be talking about my ten golden rules to guarantee financial survival. We’re going for a slightly different format this week as instead of breaking things down into everything you need to KNOW and everything you need to DO, we’re going to go through […]

It’s session number 22 , and we’re going to be talking about Trusts. If there’s an area of financial planning that is misunderstood, then it is trusts. I think I may have said that about pensions too, though! I’d go so far as to say that there are many advisers who don’t understand trusts as […]

It's session number 16 , and this week we’re going to be talking about Risk, a small word, with big implications for your finances. Last week I passed a major milestone, at least in my mind. I had 1000 downloads of this podcast in a single week. That is awesome to me. Particularly amazing is […]
