Paddy your right partaking in parkrun is great for your mind and body but not just running/ walking the 5km but also the very necessary role of volunteering please let people know no volunteers = no parkrun
Apple Podcasts5Tugging7385,Ireland2 years ago - Very informative financial planning podcast
Lots of great detail on Irish and wider financial planning issues.
Great guests too.
Apple Podcasts5Big boy85zctuhIreland2 years ago - The best Irish (if not global) retirement investment podcast.
So glad I stumbled across this podcast. The two podcasts on how so called independent financial advisers accrue their fees, and how pension fund lifestyling is potentially a sleepwalk into dire fund returns were two of the best analyses I have listened to yet. The opinions resonate with my own views on low cost, passive investing as a core feature of my investing.
Keep on producing this great podcast.
Colin.
