Hi folks and welcome to the Meaningful Money Podcast season 14 episode 3. 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. Thank you for joining me. Investing is definitely the most interesting part of personal finance. Budgeting can be a grind,

insurance is a necessity of course,

but it's hardly full of fun and hijinks.

But investing is where you get to see your money grow and move and change over time

and eventually of course you'll build something which will enable you to live how you want to live.

Getting started on that process is obviously really exciting and today that's what I want to talk to you about.

So after the main body of the show as usual I'll announce what we're talking about next time,

read a review out from a listener on iTunes and all that good stuff but before any of that
