This week we answer questions on the loose theme of capital gains tax and investing via General Investment Accounts (GIAs). Spoiler alert - nothing's as simple as it might seem! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA11    01:06  Question 1 Whenever a question comes up in our Facebook group about Capital Gains and GIAs (General Investment Accounts) I get a sinking feeling as I do not know much about that type of account, and I don't have one myself.  I am not alone. I have gathered questions from our listeners about capital gains, so in this episode Pete & Roger can tell us all about Capital Gains, Dividends, and anything else we need to know about using a GIA, and other situations which involve capital gains tax. 19:03  Question 2 Hi both, I've recently discovered your podcast and have thoroughly enjoyed my commutes listening to you. Personable and informative. I have a question about selling my buy-to-let property that is in my personal name. My mortgage term is ending in June 2026 and I'd like to sell it for one of better quality that has less issues. I'm currently a higher-rate taxpayer but we're planning to start a family in the next year, meaning I'll be on maternity leave for 12 months which will push my salary down to basic-rate. Impossible to plan when I'll get pregnant but it would be useful to know how HMRC calculates my salary (and over what time period) so that I pay basic-rate CGT when selling my buy-to-let? Apologies for a very wordy question! Thanks a lot and best wishes, Winnie 22:17  Question 3 Hi Pete, I hope you're doing well! I've been really enjoying the Meaningful Money podcast and had a question I'd love to hear your thoughts on the show: In a general investment account (GIA), is it's better to use an income fund to avoid triggering CGT if income is needed (assuming the dividends covers the needs in the short term)? Thanks so much for your wisdom! And keep up the great work on the podcast! :) Best regards, Chloe 26:53  Question 4 Hi Pete, Roger (and Nick who I assume is reading this :-)) I have a question I'd be grateful if you could answer which is around capital gains tax on any shares or funds held outside an ISA/pension. To use an example with higher numbers so that the allowance is used for simplicity: - You have £100k in a GIA - it increases by £10k a year for the first two years; - it's then down £2k in the third - the total value is now £118k - You then want to draw out £10k - How do you work out what capital gains the tax is to be paid on i.e. is the full £10k considered a gain? - Is the withdrawal from the original £100k or from the increase in value i.e. gain? - Would you be better to withdraw up the annual allowance every year and then put it back in to reduce the gain, considering there's no allowance for the impact of inflation? Love the show, keep up the good work in whatever format you decide going forwards - you've made real differences to the way I've managed my investments over the years, especially at scary times like Covid and your book and courses have given my kids the education they need for their long investing lives. Thanks, Dino 36:39  Question 5 Hi Pete & Rodger, I started a deep dive into our overall finances over the Christmas period, to set the picture I am 47, my wife's 42 and we have two children a boy 5 & a girl 3. I received a diagnosis last year which will have a long term impact on my ability to sustain my current level of income & type of work I do. We have a 154k mortgage with 19 years left on the term, with the uncertainty around my health I have decided to target maximum overpayments on the mortgage, this year we can pay 18k extra. My questions are: 1. I plan to save circa 1k per month salary to put into the overpayment pot, I am hopeful that the HL shares will meet past highs and I can use some of that money to top up the salary savings and hit our target. Do I pay tax on the profit I make from selling shares? If it's no more than 3k? I was hopeful I could sell shares annually and withdraw the gains annually, then reinvest in same stock when they dip. I realise that past performance isn't always guaranteed but monitoring since covid the stocks I am invested in are fluctuating from a £15 low to £20 high annually. So looking to sell at £19.5. Is this the best way to use the extra cash at present given the plan to access quickly at times. I have maxed out isa allowance for current FY (2024/25) but will probably pay the 1k per month into an isa in new FY. 2. I am planning to do lump sum overpayment rather than setup monthly, just to give easy access to funds should they be required. I plan to cash in some company SIPPS annually when they aren't taxable (after 5 years) that sum will be on average 1k per year. Will the SIPPS cashed in and gains from HL sales leave me vulnerable to paying capital gains tax? If all goes to plan we could be mortgage free by 2033 approximately and there would be less of a dependency on my salary. Deep down I just want us to be setup financially as best we can with the uncertainty around my health. I would really appreciate your views, love the podcast and it's been a real source of knowledge to me. Best Regards Lee 43:52  Question 6 Hi Pete & Roger, I found your YouTube channel last year and through that the Podcast – both are absolutely fantastic and have helped me and my family so much with many aspects of managing our money and planning our finances. My question relates to if and to what extent capital gains tax can be offset by making SIPP contributions. My wife and I jointly own a buy to let property that we are selling in the new financial year (25/26).  When the sale completes, we expect to each have a taxable capital gain of around £30,000.  My wife earns around £10k a year from a part time job, therefore most of her gain will be taxable at the lower rate of 18%.  For the last couple of years, she has made annual gross SIPP contributions 100% of her earnings (£10,000) which is the maximum gross contribution she can receive basic rate tax relief on. This year, as well as contributing the usual £10,000 gross, (100% of earned income), can she also contribute up to a further £30,000 gross and receive basic rate tax relief on this additional contribution, thus offsetting the CGT paid on the gain from the property sale?  If so, with CGT payable at 18% and basic rate tax relief of 20%, contributing the full £30,000 would actually more than offset the CGT (which I fear is too good to be true). If this is the case, is there any other strategy we should be considering to achieve the same or similar outcome?  I have really struggled to find definitive guidance around this, so any clarity you can provide will be much appreciated. Many thanks and keep up the great work. Steve

As usual, we cover lots of ground in this week's Q&A, including tax-free cash recycling, private medical insurance and Lifetime ISAs. Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA10  00:57  Question 1 Dear Pete & Roger. I'm a long-time listener and love the podcast, especially more so since Roger joined back in season 21. I'm an additional rate taxpayer with income below the threshold for the tapered annual allowance. I have been contributing £45k to my workplace defined contribution pension via salary sacrifice for the last couple of years, and my effective tax relief rate on contributions is 47%. This coming April (2025) I will turn 55 and will be able to access my pension. I am considering increasing my salary sacrifice contributions by £14,000 per year and funding this by taking just under £7,500 PCLS (i.e. tax-free cash) from my pension. Having watched the MeaningfulMoney video on Tax-Free Cash Recycling and checked the HMRC web site, I know this is not considered tax-free cash recycling because the PCLS withdrawals will be below £7,500 per year. However, I don't know if sacrificing £7,500 of tax-free cash in return for £14,000 of new contributions will have any unintended consequences. In retirement I plan to withdraw money via UFPLS and use tax-free cash to minimise my effective tax rate and have no plans to use it to fund large purchases. Have I missed anything? Simon. 04:01  Question 2 Hi Pete, I hope you're doing well! I've been really enjoying the Meaningful Money podcast and had a question I'd love to hear your thoughts on the show: With the long waiting times on the NHS, is having private health insurance a new 'must have' protection or still a 'nice to have'? Thanks so much for your wisdom! And keep up the great work on the podcast! :) Best regards, Chloe 07:05  Question 3 Hi guys - thanks for all you do with this podcast. I've been incredibly fortunate to find you in my 20's and absorb so much useful knowledge. My question is surrounding LISA's. My fiancé and I currently live separately but we're looking to move in together ahead of our wedding this summer. She owns her own home and I currently rent so we'll be moving into her house. Our plan is to live for a couple of years in her (or soon to be our) house as she managed to secure a favourable rate that will help us to save together for our next home. The majority of my current house deposit (around £35k) is in a LISA, however in the last year or so I've quickly realised that our next home together will probably sit above the £450k limit that LISA's allow. Given that we live in a pretty expensive area and want to stay here, is there anything you would suggest? We've thought about me 'buying in' to her current house but we don't want to remortgage and lose the favourable fixed term. Any ideas? Cheers, Joe 11:38  Question 4 Hi Butch & Sundance, my question is about SIPPs & ISAs and tax implications when used with State Pension and a Defined Benefit Pension. I'm planning to retire 7 years before state retirement age (67) and plan to use a DB pension and SIPP in those 7 years. The annual income from the DB pension will exceed the current basic rate income tax annual allowance (£12,570) and withdrawals from the SIPP outside of the tax-free lump-sum, would all incur basic rate income tax. I would like to keep investments that continue to grow, but with the removal of some IHT benefits within a SIPP, is it now worth withdrawing more than I need each year and moving the SIPP investments to a Stocks & Shares ISA over the next 7 years and therefore reduce tax paid over the following 20-30 years from the age of 67? Or am I making more of minor issue than is needed? Keep up the excellent work, Jack 16:36  Question 5 Hi both, Love the podcast! I have a question regarding pensions. I have an employer (defined contribution) pension that had been with one provider (chosen by my employer) for the last 11 years. My Company has recently terminated the agreement and mine and my employers contributions are now all going to the new provider and fund. I chose not to transfer my original pension from the original provider to the new provider, as the existing fund had been performing so well. Following a review of both pensions over the last 6 months, I discovered that my existing pension had continued to be perform very well - over double the return compared to the new pension provider and fund). Whilst I understand I could switch funds with the new provider, my preference would be to do an annual transfer from my new pension fund & provider to the original provider and fund. I cannot seem to find any information on how to do this (all the information online is focused around transferring and shutting the new account - I don't want to do as my employer and personal contributions will continue to be directed to the new provider and fund. Thanks for your help, Matt 21:25  Question 6 Hi Pete and Roger I have a question about pensions for low earners. I have been listening to your show for the past year and loved the simplify and OS series, with your helpful explanations I have managed to get my self employed husband to increase his pension contributions, built up 6 months of emergency funds and have opened our first stocks and shares isa for long term savings. My question is about my pension contributions. I have about 13 years in an NHS pension from before I had children. For the past 8 years ( since the children were born) I have worked very part time or not at all so have not really made much in the way of pension contributions. I am currently 45 and I work seasonally for 4 months of the year. We live comfortably on my husband's income and as mine is irregular income it is not allocated to specific spending. My plan this year was to try and save all my income (about £7000) and contribute to a personal pension (a SIPP?) to catch up on my own pension contributions (I do have an employer one but it's very basic). My question is: if I pay into a personal pension will I still get tax relief added? As my earnings are below the personal allowance I don't pay income tax. I can only find information on the £2880 for none earners or employee pensions. Also how much of my income can I put in a pension? I.e. if I do get tax relief can I only put in 80% of my earnings?  Do I also need to subtract my work pension contributions? Thank you for all your amazing work. Best wishes, Lindsey

Welcome to another Q&A show. This week we cover moving abroad, inheritance tax and paying into a pension while drawing from another, and lots more besides! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA7   01:16  Question 1 I've been a long time listener for my entire working career and your podcast has been invaluable to getting me to the great position I'm in now. I have recently been offered a very exciting job opportunity abroad (specifically Luxembourg) and I'm thinking about financial issues I might want to cover. I am 29 and have a mid-five figure sum in each of my ISA, LISA, and DC pension in the UK. I hope to save and invest heavily abroad with a FIRE sort of philosophy. I wonder if there are any big things to think about in preparation for a move, or things to do while in the EU that will make a move back easier. I realise this is probably a complex question, and maybe too niche for a podcast episode. I've considered getting a one-off consultation with a financial advisor before my move, do you think this would be worthwhile, and if so what sort of service or green flags should I be looking for? (Assuming Jackson's is not a specialist in this area!) Thank you again! Stuart 06:24  Question 2 Hi Pete, Hi Roger, May I ask a question about pensions now being subject to IHT. My father in law's strategy for passing on his wealth was to pass on an unused pension, previously protected from IHT, and he had also invested in AIM shares, again also previously exempt from IHT but now subject to 20% tax. He is nearly 82. What options might you suggest for him to consider on either of those points, but in particular the pension point. Draw the pension and gift it? Thank you very much. Love the pod and religious listener! Jo 13:00  Question 3 Hi Pete and Roger, A great many thanks for all that you do towards simplifying personal finance principles. It is with thanks to your guidance that I am living within my means and on a budget with clear financial objectives. My question today is on behalf of a family member, let's call her Glynda. Glynda is 58 years old and intends to continue working until she can claim her full state pension. She currently has two private pension pots, one is a SIPP on the Vanguard platform and one is her workplace scheme with a smaller provider I've never heard of called Creative Trust. A few years ago, she chose to withdraw her 25% tax free cash allowance from her SIPP with a view to investing this in rental property. For one reason or another this didn't actually happen so she is now saving this aside as her 18 month cash buffer. To withdraw the 25% tax free cash, she had to “crystallise” the entire SIPP pot. The remainder is still invested in 100% equities - the growth engine as you say, but it is now in a flexi access drawdown account, not a pre-retirement pot. Meanwhile, the workplace scheme is growing nicely with contributions of around £3500/yr, which is not insignificant on her modest salary. This pension is not yet “crystallised” and is also aggressively invested through the limited fund selection on that platform. You have spoken at length about pensions but my question has not yet come up, though I appreciate it may be niche. If the SIPP has been crystallised and the Workplace scheme has not, can they still be combined? Does Glynda need to take her tax free cash from her workplace scheme BEFORE transferring/combining this scheme into her SIPP for ease of management? If she opts NOT to take the tax free cash before transferring, does she lose that option? What is the point of “crystallisation”? Why is it even a thing in a world of flexi access drawdown, it seems irrelevant to me. Do platforms charge different levels of fees post-crystallisation? If so, can Glynda transfer her crystallised SIPP to a new provider if savings can be made on fees. Many Thanks, Sam 19:48  Question 4 Hi Pete and Roger, I have been an avid listener to the podcast for a long time now, probably 5 years, what a journey! Thank you for all the content you put out. Pete; I think I read your book first which put me on to the podcast, or perhaps it was the other way around, I can't remember. I'm pleased to say that when I read your book, I then went through it with a fine toothcomb and ticked off everything I needed to do! Needless to say I've been in a good situation for a while now, thanks to you, your book and this podcast. I still use a Meaningful Money Budget Spreadsheet to plan my monthly finances! I did leave a review a good while ago on the app store letting you know how Meaningful Money has helped me! I have attached a picture of my copy of your book, hope you don't mind all the post it notes! My question is surrounding Emergency Funds and what criteria we should apply as to whether something is an “emergency?” Classic things such as a broken down car, a leak in the house or the boiler breaking down are all perfect scenarios for an emergency fund. But what about other more vague scenarios? This question has come about because of my current situation. I unfortunately have a toxic boss and work environment which is affecting my mental health. It's clear I need to leave the job, as my continued attempts to change the environment and my mindset have been unsuccessful. So, I am about to hand in my resignation, in the next few weeks and just go ahead and use my emergency fund, as this detriment to my mental health cannot continue. However, there's a strong feeling inside that this isn't really what an emergency fund is for. Particularly too, as I don't have a strong exit plan. I have no other job lined up, I just need to get out of there. So what do you think? Should the fund have strict rules as to what is, and is not an emergency? I suspect your answer will be that the holder of the emergency fund decides what is and is not an emergency. That being said if there isn't strict rules surrounding it, then it would be quite easy for someone to decide a night out on the ale is an emergency due to a stressful week! Or can the rules be more “fluid” and a night down the pub is acceptable? Sorry about the pun! I'd be interested to know your thoughts. Thanks again and I look forward to hearing your response! Many Thanks, Phil 24:36  Question 5 Hi Pete & Roger Thanks for all your podcast episodes - I've been listening for years and you've saved me a lot of money through not needing to pay an advisor (thanks to your free info) and not making expensive mistakes. I'm not sure if I'm your core demographic (33yo woman in London) but find all your content useful for me, my friends, brother and parents. My question: I co-own a flat and live in it. My friend owns the other half but doesn't live with me. We have a joint residential mortgage and also have to pay a £250pm service charge and ground rent as it's a leasehold with right to manage. It's a 35yr mortgage so we get about £200pm equity and pay around £800pm interest. It's a great flat but I want to move to a larger property in a different area, initially renting as it'll take quite a long time to sell the flat (for various reasons I won't go into!). If we rent the flat out and I go and rent elsewhere, I'll be making a loss on the flat (I'm a 40% taxpayer and the rental income would cover the mortgage + service charge + agency fees but I believe I'd have to pay tax on income not profit hence the loss). There's also insurance, council registration fee, maintenance etc. Obviously I'd then pay rental money to a landlord too for the house I move to. I know property taxes have changed in recent years and I'm very supportive of landlords being taxed on profits. However, my initial research suggests that professional landlords who buy property through companies only pay tax on (company) profits whereas I'd pay tax on revenue. I'd pay 40% vs them paying corp tax (25% ish?). Is my understanding right and is there any regulation or tax relief specifically for "accidental" landlords who are also renting a home themselves rather than having a big empire of properties as a business? Also how would the tax work for co-owners, would I just pay 40% tax on half of the rental income? My friend lives abroad in case that's relevant. I know there are a lot of accidental landlords due to cladding, relationship changes etc so am hoping the question is also useful for other listeners. Thank you! Emma 32:33  Question 6 Thanks for an excellent podcast - one of the best in the personal finance space. Around 6 years ago I inherited a low 6 figure sum which I put into a GIA. Each year I have made Bed & ISA transfers to diffuse any Capital Gains and to move more of my money into a tax shelter. As we have had a strong investment environment over this period I still have a reasonable balance in the GIA. Now the government has reduced the annual Capital Gains allowance to such an extent that I expect to be unable to defuse all of my Capital Gains each year. This will limit the amount I can Bed & ISA and I expect the GIA balance to start increasing compounding the issue. To be honest I don't think this will be an unusual position to be in as you will not require an unfeasible balance in a GIA to pay CGT on "gains" solely due to inflation. My current plan is to allow the above to happen by only utilising my annual CGT allowance and not paying CGT while I am working. My question is how CGT is charged in early retirement. Lets say I stop working at 55 and don't take my pension until 57 (earliest I can). I will have no income for two years so my Personal Allowance will be unused. In this case can I make £15,570 of gains in the year before CGT? Searching online I can only find information on Basic and Higher Rate GGT and not Nil Rate. Thanks, Simon 38:43  Question 7 Hi, Love the podcast. I have some questions about pension contribution limits and tax relief. My taxable employment income for 2024/2025 is around £30k. I already contribute to a workplace pension via salary sacrifice. The total amount paid in by my employer is £12k. I am using my full ISA allowance but still have savings and investments in a GIA, not sheltered from tax and would like to pay a lump sum into a SIPP before the end of the tax year. My questions are: What's the maximum I can pay in? Is it £30k or do I have to subtract my employer workplace contributions, so only 18k? I keep finding conflicting information online! If it's 30k, does this mean I actually pay in 24k? If it's 30k, would I receive government top up on all of it, even though I didn't pay tax on the first £12,570? Does the contribution to a SIPP actually reduce my taxable income? So if I contribute the full £30k (assuming I can) is my personal allowance then unused by employment? I have savings and investments income of around £10k from my GIA. Would this then fall inside my personal allowance and no tax be due? Thanks for any help you can offer. I'm so confused with all the information online! Thanks so much for the podcast - keep up the good work. Alison

According to Meaningful Money, gratitude is the antidote to the negativity bias. Psychologists who study the negativity bias have established that each day up to 80% of our thoughts are negative. There are many ways to show gratitude. Here are a few ideas: • Write a thank-you note or email to someone who has made a difference in your life. • Offer to help someone in need. • Share your gratitude publicly, like on social media. • Give a thoughtful gift to someone who deserves it. • Take time to reflect on the good things in your life and acknowledge them. Remember, gratitude is a mindset and an action.

“If money were food in your life, what food would it be? Is it junk food? Is it nutritious? Is it comfort food?” Ever wondered how to align your financial decisions with your life's purpose? What if you could transform your relationship with money into an intimate journey of growth and understanding? Our host Ed Coambs delves into these questions and more with financial planning colleague, Elizabeth Jetton. Elizabeth shares her insights on how money can be used as a tool to live a thriving life. Elizabeth doesn't stop at the individual level, though. She brings a wealth of knowledge to the table about harnessing the power of financial communication and transparency within couples. Drawing from her personal 25-year journey with her husband, she shares some powerful techniques to celebrate differences and create financial harmony in relationships. This episode is a revelatory exploration of the pivotal role emotions play in financial decision-making, guided by Elizabeth's understanding of neurosciences.

Money can be funny.  But, most of the time talking about money isn't funny at all! In this episode, Chris and Ericka discuss how it takes courage to have meaningful money conversations in relationships. Identifying personal hot buttons around money helps people understand what is required in order to elevate the conversation.  We share our own experiences where courage was necessary.   It took courage to make some financial decisions but the outcomes are worth the effort.  Although you may not be able to see that right away. Having these conversations can help people make lemonade out of lemons. An important element of these conversations is the ability to recognize individual discomfort around certain topics, along with taking courageous steps to address them.

Tune in to hear:- In studies, non-compliance with financial advice generally hangs around the 50% range. However, many advisors say that their clients are very compliant and that these stats don't hold true for them. Has Derek noticed this and what does he think accounts for this difference?- What is the “stages of change” model and how might it be applied in practice with clients who are pushing back?- What is a concrete, actionable step an advisor can take to help move their client from the contemplation stage onto the preparation stage?- A lot of clients are held back by their anxiety and fear. Is there a path for removing roadblocks that unearths clients' motivations as well?- What is the “righting reflex?” When does it prove helpful and when does it get in the way?- If you are an advisor and your client is putting up walls, giving pushback and privileging the status quo - what is the best way to move forward and break this stalemate?- What are scaling questions and change rulers and how are they applied in practice?https://www.meaningfulmoney.lifeCompliance Code: 1246-OAS_5/3/2023

In this session, you'll discover: What affect the announcement of the EU referendum has already had on investments Justin's view on the pros and cons of a British exit from the EU Some clear parallels between the pressures currently being faced by the EU and those faced in ancient Rome Some of the key drivers of the current market volatility, apart from the EU referendum How Justin Urquhart Stewart is planning to vote in the referendum The best plan for riding out market volatility, whatever the result I think there are so many facets to this debate and it will depend very much on your point of view. And it was ever thus, right? We'll make the decision based on what it means for us, perhaps at the expense of the greater good. Ah well, we'll see, sometime on June 24th probably, what the outcome will be Resources mentioned in this show Transcript: As always, there is a full transcript of this show available by clicking the big blue button below: Join the conversation I love to read and respond to your comments, so please do join in and share. Question: How are you planning to vote, and why?

The Meaningful Money Personal Finance Podcast

Over the past six years I have built up quite a body of work here on MeaningfulMoney. And that's especially true when it comes to how to invest. In today's show I am going to bring together some of the best investing resources on the site and try to fit them into a path to take you from zero to elite investment skills. Podcast: Subscribe in iTunes | Play in new window | Download Sponsor Message This podcast is brought to you with the help of Seven Investment Management, a firm of investment managers based in London. They specialise in multi-asset investing, bringing institutional investing techniques to ordinary people like you and me. 7IM put their name to my show and to my site because they believe in what I'm doing, trying to get decent, easy-to-understand financial information out to the world. I'm very grateful to them for their support. You can see what they're up to at 7im.co.uk How to invest With 303 videos and 149 podcasts here on MM it can be hard to find what you need, though there is a very efficient search system. I am in the process of designing and building a new home page which will hopefully help new visitors find their way round, but until that is done, this post should help you navigate the best stuff when it comes to investing. Of the resources listed, more are podcasts than videos. Many of the videos are somewhat out of date now, and while I am redoing some of them, the podcast is generally where the meat is. Ready? Here are eight steps to become and investing ninja: Step 1 - Get into the right mindset Video number 246 talks about getting into the savings mindset. You need to start form a good place, as the changes you will make need to be deep-seated to last for a lifetime. This involves being future focused, getting mad at the financial services industry, and committing to taking control of your own future. Step 2 - Get started For those who are right at the very start of their personal finance journey, and are looking to pay off debt and begin saving for an emergency fund, I have a dedicated index page just for you. If you have done those things, and you're looking at how to invest, what's next? Podcast session 6 was a chat with the erstwhile Justin Urquhart Stewart of my sponsors, Seven Investment Management. In that show we agreed that investing should be dull, above all. You should understand your risk tolerance (more in a minute) and understand what makes a core investment portfolio. Then in Podcast session 10 we looked at Asset classes, or things you can investing, and a little bit about how they interact. And we followed this up with Podcast session 11, where we covered the platforms, wrappers and funds that these assets are held inside. this is the basic architecture for investing success. Step 3 - Understand Risk It has been proven beyond doubt that risk and reward are related. Risk is a multi-layered subject, as I discussed with my friend Richard Allum in Podcast session 16. Much later, I chatted to Paul Resnik of risk measurement firm Finametrica in Podcast session 119, and looked into the science of risk tolerance, and whether or not it changes in response to external factors. Finally, video number 300 covers the three main ways in which investment risk can be managed by ordinary folks, such as you and me. Step 4 - Educate yourself We're better at most things if we learn something about them in advance of diving in. The same is true for investing, which is why this site exists, and why you're here. You need to learn how to invest, before you start to invest. Podcast session 76 was a chat with journalist Robin Powell who created a documentary called How To Win The Loser's Game. Listen to the show and watch the film; it'll set the scene. Then I embarked on a four-part investment masterclass covering: Asset Allocation Risk and return Setting realistic targets Understanding costs Those four podcast sessions will give you a superb grounding of education and equip you to make good choices. Step 5 - Get practical Armed with all that good information, it is time to get your hands dirty with some practical investing. Back in Podcast session 41, I took listeners through how to build a portfolio from scratch, exactly how I would do it. I then chatted subsequently with Mark Polson of platform consultancy the lang cat, in Podcast session 75. If you're going to go it alone and not seek professional advice, there are plenty of online systems to help you invest in various ways, and Mark's guide helps you decide which is best for you. Once a portfolio is built, it should be reviewed. In Podcast session 96 I cover what to do when you sit down each year to look at the year just gone and the one coming up. What should you be looking for? What should you ignore? Step 6 - Learn about behavioural finance We are so often our own worst enemies. While investing is a science, as humans we are driven by emotion, and as such we can make some very bad decisions. Half the battle with learning how to invest is understanding why we make mistakes and putting in place a framework to minimise these. Back in Podcast session 43 I covered nine classic investing mistakes that I see people make over and over again. Then, in one of my favourite conversations I have had for the podcast, I chatted to Greg Davies from Barclays Wealth over two shows, session 108 and session 109. Greg is the UK's foremost authority on behavioural finance and gives us some very practical tips on how to make good investing decisions. Finally, I make my own attempt to give some practical tips for making smart decisions in Podcast session 118. Step 7 - Get things in context As I often say here on MeaningfulMoney, money is never an end in itself, but a means to an end. It is there to serve your life goals, and to enable them, never to be a goal in itself. It is therefore vital to invest with this context in mind. In Podcast session 48 I asked some important questions, crafted by the father of financial life planning George Kinder. These three questions will help put money in its proper place. I then interviewed my good friend Tina Weeks in Podcast session 85, and she shared her approach for putting money into perspective. Step 8 - Take things to the next level Finally, for those plucky few who make it this far, there is the opportunity to level up, and take your investing to the next level. In Podcast session 81, I cover some advanced investing techniques, and in Podcast session 24, I talked about some lessons we can learn from how the super-rich manage their wealth. I chatted to financial guru Todd Tresidder in Podcast session 123, and asked the question: How much do I need to retire. Todd himself retired at 35 or something incredible, so he's a good man to learn from. And then in Podcast session 113, I covered ways to put your finances on autopilot, so you can grow your wealth while you sleep. Summary Phew! I think that is plenty for most people to be going along with. If you can apply the information about how to invest contained in these podcasts and videos, your financial success is pretty much assured.   Join the conversation I love to read and respond to your comments, so please do join in and share. Question: Which of these resources has benefitted you most, and why?

Income tax is a fact of life for most people, but income tax planning opportunities are available to everyone who needs them, if you know where to look. In this week's show I cover the obvious and not-so-obvious income tax planning tips you need to know.   Podcast: Subscribe in iTunes | Play in new window | Download   Sponsor Message This podcast is brought to you with the help of Seven Investment Management, a firm of investment managers based in London. They specialise in multi-asset investing, bringing institutional investing techniques to ordinary people like you and me. 7IM put their name to my show and to my site because they believe in what I'm doing, trying to get decent, easy-to-understand financial information out to the world. I'm very grateful to them for their support. You can see what they're up to at 7im.co.uk Income tax planning The current and previous governments have done a great deal to bring more people out of paying income tax by increasing allowances, of which more in a minute. For those of us who do pay tax, there are plenty of ways of saving tax legitimately and that's what we're looking at today. By the way, I'm guessing there are not too many bazillionaire footballers and pop stars listening to this. These are the kinds of people who have fallen foul to tax avoidance schemes which turned bad. Needless to say I'm not a fan of anything dodgy. In fact, I wrote a blog about the difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion, and why I think it is right and proper that we pay tax, even while using all the many allowances and reliefs that are offered to us to reduce tax. BTW, this is a session geared towards UK taxpayers, as I have no idea how tax works anywhere else in the world! In this session, you'll discover: How income tax works All the allowances which are available from April 2016 All about about income tax reliefs – free money! What you should do if you're in a relationship, to save income tax How to use the coming facility of ISA restocking to your advantage How to make the most of the new dividend allowance Which tax wrappers you should use to take best advantage of income tax planning angles The new extended personal allowance, personal savings allowance and dividend allowance, coupled with the existing benefit of pensions and ISAs will mean that the vast majority of people could well pay zero tax on all their investments and pensions (except when you take money out of a pension). It's just a matter of organising things in the best way possible.   Also, watch for  the articles and videos on the MeaningfulMoney.tv site. I put out a blog post on Monday, the podcast on Wednesday and a video on Friday, and February is tax month, so that'll be the general theme, at least until I run out of stuff to talk about!

Personal taxation is changing. It's been a while since we looked at this subject, one of life's inevitabilities, so let's dive in to my personal taxation overview, and see where we end up!   Podcast: Subscribe in iTunes | Play in new window | Download Sponsor Message This podcast is brought to you with the help of Seven Investment Management, a firm of investment managers based in London.

I'm very grateful to them for their support. You can see what they're up to at 7im.co.uk Personal Taxation Overview Yes, tax is changing, as it often does. I heard somewhere that in the UK have the largest tax code, when printed out as a series of books, of any developed country in the world. I don't know if that is true, but one things for sure, it IS a complex thing to understand, and yet it is so necessary. As ever though, I am here to simplify things for you and to cut down the reams of paper into bite-size chunks that you can APPLY to your everyday life and investing. We'll cover the three main personal taxes: income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax. This time, I'll be looking at what you need to know, and then over the next two weeks I'll look at what you can do to mitigate some of these taxes. BTW, this is a session geared towards UK taxpayers, as I have no idea how tax works anywhere else in the world! In this session, you'll discover: All about walls and boxes - that's a model for understanding income tax! The order your income is taxed in - it's important All about changes happening in April which transform how your income is taxed What is happening in April to the way interest on bank savings is paid How capital gains tax works How inheritance tax works How much you can leave your beneficiaries when you die, without paying tax It's tempting to get into some actionable stuff here, but listening to tax info is dry, so I wanted to keep it short-ish.
