Summary
It’s a new season, and we’re going to be looking at The Great Transition. What do I mean by this? I mean the transition between saving money for the future, and spending for the now. I mean the reduction in reliance on working to live, and instead living on your own means. Yes, I’m talking about retirement. But what is retirement anyway?

What is retirement?
We’re going to look at the whole subject of retirement in some depth, as you’d expect, including bringing in some expert guests to help me cover some parts of it. I want to look at the concept and the process of retirement, and while doing podcasts as usual, I’ll also be releasing some video content to help demonstrate some of the things I’m talking about.
We’ve lots to cover, so let’s crack on…

| 0:04.4 | This is the podcast dedicated to helping you put your finances in order. |
| 0:17.4 | 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. |
| 0:34.5 | Welcome, welcome. Great to have you with me once again. It's a new season here on the Meaningful Money podcast and we're going to be looking at the great transition. Now what do I mean by this? I mean the transition between saving money for the future and spending money right now. I mean the reduction in reliance on working to live and instead living on your own means. Yes, folks, I'm talking about |
| 0:56.0 | retirement and it's going to be a great season as we look about everything to do with retiring, |
| 1:02.4 | how it works, and what you need to think about. So I'm really looking forward to it. After the |
| 1:06.5 | main body of the show, as usual, I'll be looking at some reviews that have been left very kindly |
| 1:10.2 | in the last week or so, announce what we're going to be talking about next time. But before any of that, |
| 1:14.7 | remember, this podcast is brought to you with the help of Seven Investment Management. There |
| 1:19.6 | are a firm of investment managers based in London, and they specialize in multi-asset investing, |
| 1:24.7 | which brings institutional level investing techniques to ordinary people, |
| 1:28.3 | just like you, just like me. |
| 1:30.0 | And 7iM put their name to the show here. |
| 1:31.9 | They've been helping me out now for nearly five years because they believe in what I'm doing, |
| 1:36.2 | which is trying to get decent, easy to understand financial information out to those who need it. |
| 1:41.1 | So I'm really grateful to them for their support. |
| 1:42.9 | Please do check out what they're up to. |
| 1:44.4 | They are at 7im.com.uk. That's the number 7im.com.uk. Right. As we look at retirement, I was thinking I might |
| 1:55.7 | try and avoid that word as much as possible. Too many connotations with retirement. I'm going to debunk some of those |
| 2:01.8 | in a minute, but the use of the word is inevitable, I think. So in any case, it's quicker than saying |
| 2:07.9 | something like financial freedom or something like that. So retirement, it is. That's what we're going to |
| 2:12.8 | be talking about. I'm going to look at the whole subject in some depth, as you'd expect. I'm going to bring in hopefully some expert guests as well to help me cover some parts of it. |
