Hi folks and welcome to the Mean for Money Podcast you put your finances in order.

My name is Pete Matthew and I'm going to share with you everything you need to know and everything you need to do to secure your financial future.

I'm here to help you make sense of money.

Here we are once again great to have you with me looking a little bit unshaven and

beady I did intend to sort that out before hitting record here but I didn't so hope you don't mind too much

but obviously that can still cost you money.

So let's see what we can do to minimize the chance of that, shall we? And a little bit
