Hi folks and welcome to the Meaningful Money Podcast season 9 episode 3.

This is the podcast dedicated to helping 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. This week we're continuing our series on answering your

burning questions as submitted by you in my 2017 listener survey. I had 250 responses which was just amazing. You asked

some fantastic questions including one several of you asked a question about

the point at which it makes sense to seek advice from a

professional rather than go it alone with your financial planning and how do you

get that advice without it costing you a fortune now fortunately I know a woman who can help and I'm going to be

talking to her in a little while. As usual after the main body of the show I'll look at the most

recent reviews that have been left announce what we're talking about next week but

before all of that

remember this podcast is brought to you with the help of my friends at seven

investment management who specialize in multi asset investing something I'm always

banging on about here and I think multi-asset investing should form the court of most people's portfolio

They're at 7-I.m. dot code UK that's the number 7 i.m dot go to UK now before I got any further I told

you last week I was going to talk this week about balance and how to balance various aspects of your finances.

I'm definitely going to be coming back to that definitely in this season it's a big

question. I'm still trying to finish the book right so I'm trying to devote as much

writing time to that as I can
