Hi folks, and welcome to the Meaningful Money Podcast. This is season 24, episode 1.

Yes, indeed. Welcome back to another new season here on Meaningful Money. And once again,

I'm joined by my good buddy Roger Weeks. Welcome back, Roach.

Hi Pete. Thanks so much for, thanks so much for inviting me back.

I can't, I can't believe it's, it's January ready. This is, this is ludicrous.

Yes, it is. You love it really. I do. I do.

Well, this season, I've got you back, which is good. And we're going to be talking about the

power of simplicity and trying to suggest ways that everybody can simplify their financial situation.

And there's just so many reasons why we should keep things simple, right?

Well, yeah, the benefits of this are endless for you, your family. And in all kinds of ways,

which we'll get into in due course. Well, yeah, and it's, we want to kind of sort of set out

a manifesto, if you like, a sort of simplicity. It's a kind of intro to the season. But we'll

make sure to give you some actionable stuff as usual in the everything you need to do section

a little bit later on. Yep. And then over the next nine weeks or so, we'll dig into many specific

areas of our personal finances and look at ways to simplify our approach in each and the benefits

of doing so. And it's usual each week after the main sort of body of the show will read a review

that's been left by listener and will answer a question, which may or may not be related to

simplicity and things. Quick questions for you, though, are dear listener right at the top of

this show and this season? Should we spin out your questions, you know, the questions that we

answer as part of the main show? Should we spin that into a separate sort of rapid fire Q&A
