I have always been a reasonable earner that lives payday to payday and have been comfortable with debt and found complex ways to justify spending more than I earn. Over the last year via Dave Ramsey and then yourselves I’ve really taken control of my finances. My wife and I now use YNAB to budget...Read full review »

Being a 54 year old NHS worker, planning for the next stage of my life. The latest episode retire/ semi retire was really relevant related to my current situation. Content of discussions are aimed at a understandable level with minimum of jargon.

I have only recently gotten serious about finance, having been brought up as a spoilt brat and growing up into a spendthrift adult with no clue about money other than how to spend it. However, after reaching my 30s, reality and inflation hit me in the face, and I started to take things seriously...Read full review »

Financial erudition delivered in an avuncular fashion by two seasoned and most learn’d professionals. The occasional spot of buffoonery brings to life the content in both a spirited and actionable way. As Marcus Aurelius said ‘the purpose of life is to to distinguish yourself from the majority’...Read full review »

Sensible, down-to-earth information presented by Pete and Rog - two amiable and trust-worthy experts who know what they’re talking about.

The episodes are vague and don’t help

I have only been listening to the podcast for about 6 months but I listen to an episode every single morning.

Seriously, it’s that good!

Hi Pete and Roger, Thanks you both for all the time and effort you put in to making these engaging weekly bromance episodes - oops I mean financial planning episodes.

Read that as you will Pete and Rog ha ha! Honestly, I found Meaningful Money way too late in life, your honest, open and thoughtful way (even a non-finance person could understand) that you share the information is refreshing. I am within a few years of retirement and fear I can’t make much of a...Read full review »

Started listening to Pete and Roger recently…I only wish I’d discovered them 10 years ago. Feels like listening to a couple mates down the pub ( the sensible ones!) Listening to these top gents has certainly helped me sort out my finances and now planning my FI in 8 years time! Thanks 😀

Had very fixed views on Equity Release that were not positive. The podcast opened my mind to seeing in the right conditions it could appropriate. Please keep up the good work with these excellent podcasts. Kevin

Finance is normally a dry subject, but not with Pete and Roger. They clearly have a blast recording these and ensure plenty of laughs and entertainment for their audience while demystifying often complex subjects. They provide plenty of ideas, actionable advice and reassurance. If you’ve avoided...Read full review »

Dear Pete (and George Clooney!), When I started listening to this I was somebody who was struggling with every aspect of life.

A couple of years ago I had no clue about my finances. However, I got made redundant and providentially came across the Meaningful Money podcast. Absolutely gold dust.

What a fantastic resource- thank you. At 50 I can’t believe I am only starting to understand and realise why a pension is so important. I wish this podcast existed in 1994 when I started work and didn’t bother starting a pension!

Hi Pete & Roger, I’m so sorry, I should have rated and reviewed Meaningful Money long before now, but I’ve never done so for any podcast.
