The Pension Confident Podcast Series Four summer trailer

The following is a transcript of the summer trailer for The Pension Confident Podcast Series Four. Scroll down to read or catch up on Series Four so far.

PHILIPPA: You ready? You ready? OK. One, two, three. Hi, welcome back to The Pension Confident Podcast. I’m Philippa Lamb, your host, and here’s your summer rewind for Series Four, so far.

We’ve covered a lot of ground already this year - from relationships to AI and tech, the economy, of course, investing, and - clue’s in the title - pensions. This is news you can use! So join us as we bust industry jargon, dispel myths and challenge the stereotypes that can make it so hard for us to feel really financially confident. Let’s go!

CLARE: You might’ve sat in London thinking, “what difference does this tariff on goods coming out of Vietnam to the US have on me?”

JESSE: The net zero economy, the green economy grew by 9%, whilst the overall economy grew by a bit less than 1%. The green economy is where the growth is happening. (Source: CBI).

KRYSTLE: Having pots of money for different things. Where you maybe have a bank account that’s for your bills that you have to pay but having a space where you have ‘fun money’, where actually you can be a bit reckless with that.

HARRY: Assuming there’s no prenup, then you’re starting from the ground up, as it were, as to what a fair outcome might be, whereas if there is a prenup, you’re starting from the first floor.

SIMMY: I’m Punjabi. So within our culture, we do live with our in-laws, and it’s just something I grew up with.

NEIL: People who looked at an aged version of themselves typically invested more money into their pension than someone who didn’t.

SUZANNE: I think there’s this assumption that older people are slower in picking up technology. Older people can’t use the internet. I mean, we invented the internet!

PHILIPPA: As usual, we’re taking a break over August, but we’ll be back in September with brand new Series Four episodes. If you missed one earlier in the year, don’t worry, you can catch up on every single episode so far wherever you get your podcast, or on YouTube, or of course, the PensionBee app, whatever works best for you.

Here’s the usual disclaimer, anything discussed on this podcast shouldn’t be regarded as financial advice or legal advice, and when investing, your capital is at risk. See you in September.

LUCY: Fantastic guys. That’s a wrap!

PHILIPPA: We’re done?
