The Frugal Spender, with Brian Mitchell
So, I opened a TikTok account the other day. I know - this is not to be expected of a silver-haired, middle-aged dude, but you know, I do like to keep people guessing! Almost immediately, the almighty TikTok algorithm decided to show me a video by a guy with the handle Frugal Spender. And then a few days later, Brian DMd me, we booked a Zoom call and agreed to record a podcast together. And that’s what you’re about to listen to!

Today I’m chatting with Kevin Hollister from Guiide - that’s with two ‘i’s’ - about their app which aims to make retirement decision-making simpler.

Insure or self-insure?

Retire or Semi-Retire?
The idea for this session came from a brilliant post in the Meaningful Money Facebook group by none other than Nick Mitchell, one of the brilliant moderators and part of the team here at MeMo. Nick felt like he was coming to a transition point in his career and was concerned that he was losing his identity somewhat, which, like for most of us, is very tied up in his work. This got us thinking about retirement - the biggest transition most of us face, work-wise - and whether its best to go out with a bang or fade out slowly.
