  • 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!

  • 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.

BONUS EPISODE: "A life-changing diagnosis refocused me on my beneficiaries"
Q: Why did so many savers have resistance around retirement planning; why focus on income rather than just assets?
Many people delay because retirement planning feels abstract or complicated, while the craving for immediate tangible goals (like holidays) overshadows long-term income needs.
BONUS EPISODE: "A life-changing diagnosis refocused me on my beneficiaries"
Q: We should just clarify, what is the difference exactly between saving and investment?
Saving is straightforward with a bank or savings account and fixed or variable interest, while investing puts money into assets like stocks and bonds with higher potential returns and higher risk.
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.
