  • Single Tax

    What’s the Financial benefit? None of the content actually helped me as a single individual. I’m not sure what benefit it is to just re highlight my daily financial struggles and unrealistic financial expectations. I would like an episode on what is realistic for a person like myself please?

  • Dangerous

    Benson Bee is a worrying business model. I worry about the. Number of people losing safeguarded benefits. They couldn’t even provide me with a proper costs and charges breakdown. They told me the investments had no charge. First time I’ve known an investment manager work for free!

  • Episode 21 - a must listening please!

    First time here and landed on episode 21. OMG! Mind blowing! I have learnt so much about the female psychology on money and investing. I will be sharing it for sure, and I will keep coming back here for more wisdom! Thank you!

  • Too Biased & Not What Is On The Tin

    Too presumptuously London-centric, SE-UK biased, too gender biased, too Islington elite biased. The legal advice and guidance given is presented as universally applicable, but this is incorrect and could prove potentially disastrous as it commonly only applies in one or some of the relevant legal jurisdictions. In relation to the above, speakers commonly veer greatly off subject for prolonged periods.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E46: How to bounce back from redundancy with Jimmy McLoughlin OBE, Eleanor Mills and Emma Ferenc-Bachelor
Q: What should individuals do to prepare for the possibility of redundancy?
It's important to build a cash cushion to cover at least six months of expenses and to have a strong professional network that can help during the job search.
E46: How to bounce back from redundancy with Jimmy McLoughlin OBE, Eleanor Mills and Emma Ferenc-Bachelor
Q: What are your rights after being made redundant?
Employees are entitled to a notice period, which is typically one week for every year worked, and there should be a consultation with the employer about the redundancy.
BONUS EPISODE: "I stopped paying into my pension for 20 years"
Q: Can you remind us about the options for splitting pension assets when you get divorced?
The most common option in the UK is a pension sharing order which allows you to take a percentage share of your former partner's pension.
BONUS EPISODE: "I stopped paying into my pension for 20 years"
Q: What advice do we have for people to balance these things out and not neglect their retirement savings?
Consider automating your savings while being mindful of your budget to avoid stopping contributions completely. Restart as soon as possible if you did have to pause them.
E45: The rise of micro-retirements with Ola Majekodunmi, Lauren Spearman, and Tom Carter
Q: Do you think the trend of taking micro-retirements is stemming from the fact that individuals are likely to work longer?
Yes, I think so. The thought of working for another 30 years without a pause seems unmotivating to many.
