Hi folks and welcome to the Meaningful Money podcast Season 7, Episode 5. And here's your start for 10.

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. Great to have you with me. Thanks for joining me. You know, there are loads of

financial subjects which confuse people, right? You know, the whole thing, really. That's why

meaningful money exists. But there is one in particular that I seem to be seeing a lot of right now,

and some informed ones, I'm sure, some ranting on Facebook I've seen about this, but it's the

student loan system, the student finance system. That's what I'm going to try and make sense

of for you today and clear it up, you know, clear it up for you because this is a life stage

A year from now, my oldest daughter will be going to university. So, you know, we're applying

and thinking about student finance, all that sort of stuff. So if you're in this life stage,

this is for you, you know, either because you're going to university, if so, hi, great to have

an 18, 19 year old listening or because your kids are going to

university, probably more likely. So anyway, after we've dealt with all that, most recent reviews,

I'll read a couple of those out, announce what we're going to be talking about next time. But before all

that, remember, this podcast continues to be brought to you with the help of my friends at 7

Investment Management. Who are a firm of investment managers based in London?
