Hi folks and welcome to a very special week here on the Meaningful Money Podcast.

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.

Well here we are It's finally happened. I've been talking about this for months and months, more than a year actually, but now, well, this session is going to go out on Monday, 17th of September and that is the official

launch date of my first book the meaningful money handbook and feels very cool

to have it out there obviously I've held the physical copy in my hand by now and

I've recorded the audio book which will be out shortly.

But I just wanted to sort of celebrate that this week and so we're sort of breaking from the norm this

week with the podcast.

What I'm planning to do is to just take each day

and just play you in a chapter or two from the audiobook version,

just really to wet your appetite

so you can get a feel for how it's set up and everything and yeah and hopefully then you'll buy it and buy lots of copies as well for your friends but I just want to preface this whole week really by saying thank you so much for your

support loads of you have tweeted me and sent me Facebook messages and emails

saying that your copies have arrived slightly early and that you're really enjoying it I've

had some great reviews already so thank you so much for those. I really

really do appreciate it and all your support for meaningful money. This

incredible project which started out as a hobby and has become a bit of a beast

but which I'm still loving doing. So without further ado

what I'm going to do today is to play you in after the little sound effect I'm going to
