Hi folks and welcome to the Meaningful 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 go, Gr have you with me once again coming at you not live from my living

room hope that you're keeping well in all the madness. I wonder what the next few weeks will hold every time I sit down to do one of these.

It's like, are we really any further forth? But anyway, we'll see. Just got to play it a week at a time, haven't we? So we're talking about retirement

planning in this whole season. I kind of set the stall out last week, but transitioning

into retirement is a big deal.

I mean, it's a momentous occasion, obviously it is.

Of course, for many of us, though, it's an occasion which is spread over months or years,

if we decide we're going to opt for like a gradual move away from working to live.

But there will come a time when you find yourself retired, whatever that means for you.

And today I want to kind of look at what that means how you might be feeling,

but what you should think about now.

Okay, so that's where we're going today.

After the main body of the show as usual, I'll look at a review that's been left

and now we're going to be talking about next week.

But before any of that, as always, this

podcast is brought to you with the help of my friends at 7 Investment Management.

They've been helping me out here on me for money for ages, right back from spring 2011.

So we're now closing in on 10 years which is amazing.

So I'm obviously really grateful to them for their ongoing support.
