    How Much £100 a Month Could Really Be Worth (And What It's Costing You Not to Invest).

    What is £100 a month really worth over the long term, and what is it costing you to leave that money sitting still? In this solo episode of Accelerating Your Wealth, Rebecca Robertson makes the case for investing in the calm, unglamorous sense, not picking the next hot stock. Rebecca explains why most people are already investors through their workplace pension without realising it, shares the client whose Bitcoin tanked while her pension quietly bought the house, and shows how £100 a month, roughly a weekly takeaway, can compound into far more than you put in. She also lays out the real cost of waiting, and why time in the market beats trying to time it. We explore:   Why staying in your workplace pension already makes you an investor Foundations first, before the shiny objects like Bitcoin and gold What £100 a month can grow into, and how compound interest works The cost of waiting, as £100 becomes £200 becomes £500 Why cash can quietly lose value to inflation over time Timestamps: 00:00 What £100 a month could really be worth 01:05 You are probably already an investor 01:55 The client whose Bitcoin tanked, and the pension that bought the house 04:25 Foundations first, before the shiny objects 05:25 What £100 a month actually is 07:20 Why twenty years from now still matters 08:20 The cost of waiting: £100 becomes £200 becomes £500 09:25 £24,000 and the power of compound interest 12:00 Cash, inflation and losing buying power 16:05 Time in the market, not timing the market 17:40 One small step to take this week Key Takeaways   If you have stayed in your workplace pension, you are already invested Build the foundations before chasing higher risk, shinier options £100 a month for twenty years, around £24,000 in, could grow to £40,000 to £55,000 Delay and the number climbs, £100 becomes £200 becomes £500 It is time in the market that does the work, not timing it --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with Rebecca Robertson and the Podcast: Subscribe for weekly wealth-building strategies: https://www.youtube.com/@rebeccarobertsonifa Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebecca_robertsonifa & https://www.instagram.com/acceleratingyourwealth LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-financial-advisor Facebook :https://www.facebook.com/RebeccaRobertsonwealth www.evolutionfinancialplanning.co.uk Disclaimer: This content is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be construed as financial advice.

    The Money Book That Promises to Fix Everything | Rebecca Shannon - Ep. 156 Part 2

    Rebecca Shannon changed her whole relationship with money using one simple book. She explains the two prong method, the kite metaphor, and the repellent energy most of us never look at. In Part 2 of this two-part conversation on Accelerating Your Wealth, Rebecca Robertson and leadership coach Rebecca Shannon turn from Rebecca's story to the money method at the heart of her work. It is built around a book by Victor Boc, recommended to her by the coach Steve Hardison, that she now teaches as a seven week programme. Rebecca explains why this is not a get rich quick scheme, and walks through the two prong method: the attractive energy of specific, present tense affirmations, and the repellent energy, the quieter and more insidious beliefs that push money away. She shares the kite metaphor she loves, why the work is a daily practice rather than a one off, and how getting clear on what you truly desire changed real things in her life. Connect with Rebecca Shannon: Website: https://complementcoaching.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complementcoaching/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-shannon/ We explore: · The book by Victor Boc, and why it is not a get rich quick scheme · The money most of us are taught never to talk about · The two prong method: attractive energy and affirmations · Repellent energy, the beliefs that quietly push money away · Money as a kite, and why the work is a daily practice Timestamps: 00:00 Recap, and turning to the money method 01:00 The book, from Victor Boc and Steve Hardison 03:00 Why it is not a get rich quick scheme 06:30 The money we are taught never to talk about 09:00 The two prong method and attractive energy 12:00 Why it works whether you have one pound or a million 13:00 Asking how could I create this, instead of panicking 18:00 Noticing what you truly desire 21:30 The repellent energy we never look at 23:00 Money as a kite 26:00 Cancelling old thoughts, and years of conditioning 47:00 Daily foundational practices 52:00 Inside the seven week money program Key Takeaways · A better relationship with money can start wherever your balance is today · Affirmations work best when they are specific, present tense and felt daily · The repellent energy, the beliefs that push money away, is the part most of us skip · Ask how could I create this, rather than how will I ever afford this · This is a daily practice, not a one off, because conditioning runs deep What is one money belief you would like to change?

    How to solve your money problems forever with Rebecca Shannon - Ep. 156

    Leadership coach Rebecca Shannon on going from fear about money and years of people pleasing to a life she genuinely loves, and what it really took to get there. In Part 1 of this two-part conversation on Accelerating Your Wealth, Rebecca Robertson sits down with leadership coach Rebecca Shannon, creator of Beyond Limits, someone she has known for around ten years. This half is Rebecca Shannon's own story, told honestly. She describes the fearful version of herself a decade ago, the fear about money and the sense that she had lost her power, and the slow work of getting it back. She shares the flamingo analogy that so many mothers recognise, the years of people pleasing and shrinking herself, and what changed when she stopped trying to do it all and started filling her own cup first. We explore: · Why she lost her colour, and the flamingo analogy behind it · How people pleasing quietly costs you your power · Filling your own cup, and why that is not selfish · Setting boundaries without swinging to the other extreme · Surrender, trust and getting through a painful divorce Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction, reuniting with Rebecca Shannon 02:00 The fearful version of Becky, ten years ago 04:00 Fear about money, and losing her power 06:30 The flamingo who loses her colour 08:00 People pleasing, grey clothes and disappearing 13:30 Filling your own cup, and giving from overflow 17:00 Surrender, trust and getting through divorce 21:00 From talking about abundance to talking about money 27:00 Everything begins with self-worth and self-leadership Key Takeaways · You can lose your colour by giving everything away, and you can get it back · People pleasing often protects everyone but you · Filling your own cup first lets you give from overflow, not depletion · Boundaries take practice, and swinging between extremes is part of learning · Trust and surrender can carry you through the hardest chapters Connect with Rebecca Shannon: Website: https://complementcoaching.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complementcoaching/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-shannon/ Connect with Rebecca Robertson and the Podcast: Subscribe for weekly wealth-building strategies: https://www.youtube.com/@rebeccarobertsonifa Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebecca_robertsonifa & https://www.instagram.com/acceleratingyourwealth LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-financial-advisor Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RebeccaRobertsonwealth www.evolutionfinancialplanning.co.uk Disclaimer: This content is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be construed as financial advice.

    What I'd Do If I Had to Start Again Financially at 35 - Ep. 155

    If you had to start again financially at 35, with everything you know now, what would you actually do? In this solo episode of Accelerating Your Wealth, Rebecca Robertson turns that question into a calm, practical reset that works at any age. This is about action, not guilt. Rebecca walks through the 'shoulda woulda coulda' trap so many of us carry, then lays out the real first step most people skip: knowing your numbers, and builds up from there to foundations, investing and the mindset that keeps it all going. We explore: · Why financial guilt holds us back, and how to set it down · The first step almost everyone skips: actually knowing your income and outgoings · Why you should never put your bank statements into ChatGPT or any AI · How even 100 pounds a month, left alone, can change your future · Progress, not perfection, as the mindset that makes it stick Timestamps: 00:00 What would I do if I had to start again at 35? 01:32 Letting go of financial guilt 03:52 Step one: know your numbers 05:24 Core outgoings versus the fun stuff 08:28 Why you should never put your bank statements into AI 11:38 Building your emergency fund and foundations 13:56 Why even £100 a month matters 15:27 How inflation quietly erodes your cash 16:14 Pensions and the tax free lump sum 17:02 Book a money date with yourself 18:36 Progress, not perfection Key Takeaways · Start from where you are, guilt does not move you forward · You cannot plan with a financial picture you can't see, so know your numbers · Keep your bank details off ChatGPT and any AI · Build foundations first, an emergency fund and protection, then invest · Cash that isn't keeping up with inflation is quietly losing value Join the Conversation If you had to start again at 35, what is the first thing you would do?

    Supporting Families with NEET Young Adults: Real Talk, Practical Help & Financial Guidance - Ep. 154

    If you are watching a young person you love feel stuck, lose confidence and not quite know what comes next, this episode is for you. In this solo episode of Accelerating Your Wealth, Rebecca Robertson talks openly about the NEETs, young people not in education, employment or training. She shares what she has learned from her own daughter. This is real, practical help rather than judgment. Rebecca covers why the leap to adulthood at 18 is a bit of a myth, how purpose and structure can change everything, and the honest money side that most conversations skip: how to support your child without quietly derailing your own pension, savings and future. In this episode: Why a slow or messy start is still a start, with Rebecca's own journey from an F in maths to financial services Why nothing magically changes at 18, and what that means for the support you give How purpose, not pressure, gets a young person moving The real cost of everyday life, and how to teach it gently How to support them financially without sacrificing your own security Chapters: 00:00 What the NEETs are, and who this is for 01:23 When the path after school isn't obvious 03:29 Childhood then and now, and mental health 04:52 From an F in maths to financial services 06:56 Purpose first: the horses and motivation 08:43 The myth that everything changes at 18 09:38 The real cost of things: a £10 a day lesson 11:02 Parental guilt, and being there without fixing 15:52 Structures, routines and a gentle reality check 19:56 From a left apprenticeship to mortgage broker 22:48 Financial boundaries that protect you 24:08 Don't pause your own pension or drain your savings 26:52 Avoid overwhelm: one or two steps, then review Key takeaways: Nothing magically changes at 18, and many young people need support for longer than we expect Purpose comes before productivity, so help them find the thing they care about Start with wellbeing, not the job, if confidence has taken a knock Support your child without stopping your own pension or draining your savings Avoid overwhelm: one or two small steps, then review together If this episode resonated, share it with a family who needs it, and follow Accelerating Your Wealth so you don't miss what's next.

    The Hidden Costs of Motherhood, with Elizabeth Willetts.

    In this episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Willetts, founder of Investing in Women and author of Flex. We talk through her career from recruitment in the City to building a business that helps women find flexible, part-time work that fits around their lives. Elizabeth is honest about the parts we usually keep quiet. Being made redundant while pregnant. The years of trying for a baby. And the financial cost of motherhood that follows women around for decades. We get into the numbers, too, including how far earnings can drop in the first five years after a first child and what that does to the pension gap later on. If you have ever felt the system was set up against you or wondered why flexible work is so hard to find at a senior level, this is a conversation worth your time. This is Part 1 of two.

    Why Do We Ignore Our Pensions? - Ep. 152

    Why Do We Ignore Our Pensions? I ignored my own pension for years, even while I worked in a bank. In this solo episode I talk about why pensions feel so easy to avoid, and the simple steps that turn them from a distant worry into real opportunity. Why do so many of us look away from our pensions? They feel distant, complicated and invisible, so the statements go in a drawer and we promise to deal with it another day. In this episode I am honest about the fact that I did exactly that for years, even while I worked in financial services. ----- If you want more from the podcast, take our quiz. We'll give you playlists that are full of exactly the information you want from the podcast. https://evolutionfinancialplanning.co.uk/financial-well-being-quiz/podcast-financial-wellbeing-quiz/ ----- I share the moment pensions went from a chore to something I genuinely love, and why I see what they do for my clients every week. One couple I worked with can now retire ten years earlier than they thought and spend that time travelling while they are fit and well. That is what a well planned pension can buy. Not just security, but opportunity. I also talk about the psychology of avoidance, the tax relief and employer contributions that behave like free money, the confusion that builds up when you have several old pensions, and why a new job is often the moment people finally start to pay attention. Then I share the practical steps that move you from avoidance to control. Key Takeaways · A pension is one of the few places your employer and the government top up your money for you · Avoidance is usually overwhelm, not laziness · Finding old pensions and keeping a simple list is the best first step · Consolidation can help or hurt, so understand what you hold before moving anything · Plan around the future life you want, not just the size of the pot If you do one thing this week, go and find your pensions and make a list.
