I'm back and welcome back to the Meaningful Money Podcast I'm back I've got some new glasses and this is

season 18 episode 1. 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 do to

secure your financial future. I'm here to see you. Thank you for joining me once again and welcome to another new season here on Meaningful Money.

Now we've spent the previous 18 months would you believe looking at

personal financial planning through all the life stages from Young Free and Single

all the way through to later life stuff

and I always agonize a bit about where to go next with each new season but with the

last few seasons it's been easy we've just moved through the life stages. Now though we need to change

tack and this season is going to be a series of ultimate guides where we go deep on

a single high-level subject and today first episode in the season is the

ultimate guide to budgeting. So as usual after the main body of the show I'll read a

review that's been left and now so we're going to be talking about next

week but as ever before any of that remember this

podcast continues to be brought to you with the help of my friends at seven

investment management who have been helping me out here on meaningful money for

ages since the spring of 2011 coming up for 10 years what an amazing commitment. So thank you to

them please do check out what they're up to they're at 7.I.m. dot code

at UK that's the number 7 i.m. dot code at UK go check him out and say thank you

Okay, for each of these episodes to be truly an ultimate guide,

I need to go really deep and try not to miss anything out.
