Big Mistakes: Neglecting Reviews
We’re on the home straight of a season covering the big mistakes we can all make with our finances, and today we’re talking about neglecting our financial reviews. It’s easy to put things off, but keeping a regular eye on our financial situation is so, SO important. We’re going to talk about why that’s the case and how to make it as easy as possible to make sure they happen every time.

Big Mistakes: Waiting Until...
Today we’re going to be talking about the big mistake of waiting until… Until what? Well, we mean putting off making decisions until some arbitrary point the future, or until some self-determined set of circumstances come to pass - all will become clear, we hope!

Big Mistakes: Behaving Badly
Today we revisit the vitally important subject of what the experts call behavioural finance or behavioural economics, which is really the study of how we interact, as emotional human beings, with the cold, hard world of finances.

Big Mistakes: Ignoring Later Life Planning
We’re carrying on our season of Big Mistakes and today we’re covering the mistake of not planning for later life, which is truly a big mistake. There’s lots to think about in later life and too many people leave it too late, causing problems for themselves and their loved ones.

Big Mistakes: Taking Too Little Risk
Today we’re going to look at the big mistake of Being Too Cautious, or to put it another way, taking too little risk. Obviously we’re talking primarily about investing here, and we want to talk about why risk is your friend and the impact of taking too little risk on your future outcomes. Should be an interesting discussion!

Big Mistakes: Ignoring Costs
We bang on about watching our investing costs all the time. And for good reason - not paying heed to the impact of costs can mean throwing away money unnecessarily.

Customer Reviews
Avuncular wisdom!
Financial erudition delivered in an avuncular fashion by two seasoned and most learn’d professionals. The occasional spot of buffoonery brings to life the content in both a spirited and actionable way. As Marcus Aurelius said ‘the purpose of life is to to distinguish yourself from the majority’ by giving back this way, Pete and Rog are showing themselves as true people of character. I salute you both!
I look forward to further content on 1. managing the complexities of drawdown 2. The use of gilt ladders (to maturity) and money market funds 3. What to do when your ISAs and SIPPs are full! 4. How to exit an advice based relationship that is no longer delivering - way, way harder than you’d think!
Best (& most fun) Money Podcast
Thank you Pete & Rog for your helpful advice on all of life money topics. I am particularly grateful for the items on preparing for retirement and through listening to this podcast it has given us the confidence to consolidate pensions, claim tax relief on pension contributions, invest more and consider the cash flow ladder as we prepare to drop a salary
I love the banter, and the way everything is explained - I look forward to it dropping in my inbox every week - but oh how I miss it if Rog is on holiday (again - lol) and I have to wait 2 weeks ;)
What you are doing is great, the way you do it is great - I wish I’d found it much earlier
All the Best

PS I do also have a cheeky question about COPE & state pension summary (are there any state pension deductions?) so I’ll see if I can submit that too with more detail
The best money podcast (full stop).
Sensible, down-to-earth information presented by Pete and Rog - two amiable and trust-worthy experts who know what they’re talking about. I have learnt so much - from how to organise my filing and bank accounts, to how to open a SIPP and a Stocks & Shares ISA. This podcast has given me the tools and the confidence to start investing. The back catalogue is an amazing resource. Thank you to Pete and Rog - by sharing your knowledge you are helping so many people.
