PHILIPPA: Happy New Year from everyone at The Pension Confident Podcast. We hope you enjoyed your break and we’re excited to be back with our fourth series. If you’re new here, welcome.
We’ve got a great lineup of topics and expert guests planned for 2025. Our mission is simple: to build up your pension and personal finance confidence. How do we do that? Simple. By asking and answering the questions that matter to you.
Maybe you want to know how much you’ll need to save to retire early, or if your hard-earned pension contributions are actually funding climate change. Maybe it’s hidden risks, like lifestyle creep, you want to get your head around or how your personal relationships might be impacting your finances.
The series is packed with insights and tips from a huge range of pensions and money experts. And we’ll be sharing bonus content with you right throughout the year too - including special Budget breakdowns.
The first episode of 2025 will be live at the end of this month, and with new beginnings in mind, it’s all about keeping the cost of divorce as low as possible and making sure your finances are in good shape when you start over afterwards.
So join me, Philippa Lamb, for Series Four of The Pension Confident Podcast - starting on January 26. Subscribe now on your favourite podcast app, YouTube, or for PensionBee customers, the PensionBee app, so you never miss a single episode. Listen, watch or read transcripts of the podcast.
