Podcast #5: An Easy & Pleasant Intro to Pensions!

September 23, 2016

Hi All,Colm McCarthy (our esteemed Irish Economist) recently said "retirees don't eat equities and bonds for their breakfast, they eat rashers and eggs and bread and stuff".......meaning we need cash to survive and feed ourselves in retirement, not funds and technical products.Paddy & John discuss why this matters and how we can begin to consider catering for our retirement. An introductory Podcast to Pensions, if you will!Recorded in a busy pub, there is a nice background ambience to compliment the lad's dulcet tones!Thanks for tuning in!Paddy.
