S8E7: Greatest Hits - How to keep going
Financial success is about repeating some simple steps over and over for a long time. Contrary to popular opinion right now, it isn’t about buying Bitcoin. But over that long time, you’ll get in your own way, and in this show I show you how to recognise this and what to do about it.

S8E6: Greatest Hits - When to seek advice
MeaningfulMoney was created to help you manage your own finances. And yet, I often get asked about when it makes sense to seek advice from a professional. In this Greatest Hits episode I read an email from a listener which prompts me to share when you SHOULDN’T and when you SHOULD seek advice.

S8E4: Greatest Hits - Put your finances on autopilot
Financial success generally takes a while. And because that’s the case, we have to make decisions, often the same decision over and over again.

S8E2: Greatest Hits - Shares vs Funds
Continuing my delve into the deepest depths of the MeaningfulMoney archives. This week I’m pulling out an episode from July 2014 which was responding to an iTunes reviewer gently accusing me of not fully justifying my general advice that for most people, it is better to invest in funds rather than directly into shares.

S8E1: Greatest Hits - Putting Money Into Perspective
Yes, it’s a new season and this one’s a little bit of a cop-out, if I’m honest. But with good reason! I am currently hard into writing the MeaningfulMoney book, and I’m trying to create as much space as possible to do that. So for the next few weeks I’ll be resurrecting some of the greatest hits of the podcast for your listening pleasure.

MMP232: What next for MeaningfulMoney?
As we approach the five-year anniversary of the first ever episode of MeaningfulMoney, I thought it might be a good idea to step back and take a look at where we have come and more importantly, where we’re going. And as far as the latter is concerned, I want to ask for your help…

MMP231: Max Rofagha of Finimize
I’m always excited to see the emergence of services that look to help more people take their financial planning in hand through the power and economies of scale that the internet provides.
