One of the most legendary relics of the past is the Spear of Longinus, also called the Holy Lance, or the Spear of Destiny. From its origins in the Gospel of John, to present day it has been an enduring legend. This episode focuses on how it intrigued Hitler, Himmler, and the SS as they sought to conquer the west.

Starkville | MLB Network Radio's Mike Ferrin joins the boys this week in Starkville. They discuss The Athletic's MLB All-Quarter Century Team piece that came out a few days ago. They talk about some of the big names that made and didn't make the team, should it be Jeter or A-Rod at SS, should Barry Bonds be on the team, who would be part of their pitching rotation and much more.Strange But True: An insane walk-off happens in the minor league between the Isotopes and the Reno Aces. This one is very crazyTrivia: Question from Adam Kane- Albert Pujols famously began his career with 10 consecutive seasons of 30 HR / 100 RBI / 0.300 BA, but within that stretch he had 4 consecutive seasons of 40/100/0.300.

Reichsrundfunkkommissar Gustav Krukenberg führt in Frankfurt Walther Beumelburg als neuen Intendanten des Südwestdeutschen Rundfunks ein. Beide waren Mitglieder der NSDAP und der SS. Krukenberg spricht monoton. Für am wichtigsten hält er die Abteilung für Zeitpolitische Vorträge. Damit sollen die fehlenden angeblich 49 Prozent der Bevölkerung auf nationalsozialistischen Kurs gebracht werden. Im selben Tonfall fährt Beumelburg fort: Man werde nicht unter dem Joch Adolf Hitlers Rundfunk machen, sondern aus Überzeugung.

Joseph Goebbels, Propagandaminister und Chef von Rundfunk und Presse in Hitlers Deutschland, besucht, flankiert von SA und SS, den Bayerischen Rundfunk. Der Originalton beginnt mit einer Reportage vor dem Riemerschmidbau, dem Funkhaus in München. Der Intendant Richard Kolb feiert Goebbels als Eroberer Berlins.

Gustav III:s statskupp den 19 augusti 1772 satte stopp för frihetstiden och mer än 50 år av ständervälde. Gustav III (1746-92) var en begåvad maktpolitiker som direkt efter sin faders död började planera för statskuppen med syftet att återinföra enväldet.När den planerade statskuppen höll på ett rinna Gustav III ur händerna tog konungen själv över ledningen av kuppen i Stockholm. Trots att Gustav III motiverade kuppen som en kamp mot adelsvälde var det i allra grad adelns privilegier som kungen försvarade.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Hugo Nordland historiker och författare som arbetar på en bok om Gustav III.Gustav III kallade sin statskupp för revolution. Kuppmännen som leddes av Gustav III personligen arresterade rådet. Sveriges första politiska partier, hattarna och mössorna, upplöstes. Detta satte punkt för de partistrider och den korruption som tidigare hade präglat svensk utrikes- och inrikespolitik. Kuppen stöddes av Frankrike med både pengar och direktiv.Under frihetstiden i mitten av 1700-talet radikaliserades politiken med fokus på ökade sociala rättigheter. När adelns privilegier utökades till rättigheter för hela folket skapades ett stort missnöjde bland adeln. Utan adelns missnöjde skulle inte Gustav III kunnat genomföra sin statskupp.Genom den nya regeringsformen från 1772 delades den politiska makten återigen mellan konungen och riksdagen. Samma år avskaffade Gustav III även tortyr som förhörsmetod, och tortyrkammaren Rosenkammaren stängdes för alltid. Gustav III genomdrev dessutom en inskränkt tryckfrihetsförordning 1774.Lyssna också på Svenska flottans historia: Vad Gustav III inte visste om öl.Musik: Gustavs skål av Carl Michael Bellman framförd av United.

Various May 11, 2025 SS.Regarding sober-mindedness, we are thinking of a Christian who is level-headed, focused on the important things in life, single-minded instead of double-minded, using the mind well, and maintaining an undistracted narrower focus. Can you think of some real life examples where a sober mind is needed or perhaps was lacking? I found an example in the ancient church fathers, where Ignatius wrote to Polycarp these words: "Be sober as God's athlete. The prize is immortality and eternal life, of which you have been persuaded."

In this episode of the Ageless Future Podcast, Cade Archibald takes listeners on a deep dive into the powerful peptide SS-31 and its role in enhancing mitochondrial health. He explains how SS-31 stabilizes mitochondrial membrane potential, reduces oxidative stress, and protects key structures like cardiolipin to boost ATP production and energy in aging or stressed cells. With potential applications for metabolic health, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and recovery from ischemic injuries, SS-31 emerges as a game-changing therapeutic peptide. Tune in to learn how this “mitochondrial protector” supports longevity, energy, and cellular performance from the inside out. www.agelessfuture.com

MAY. 15, 2025Free from jealousy."If your heart is full of...jealousy...don't... cover up the truth." Jas 3:14 CEVThe Bible says, "People are slaves to whatever has mastered them" (2Pe 2:19 NIV). And that's especially true of jealousy. Chuck Swindoll writes: "Jealousy and envy are often used interchangeably, but there's a difference. Envy begins with empty hands; it mourns what it doesn't have...Jealousy begins with full hands; it's threatened by the pain of losing what you have to someone else despite your efforts to hold on to it...This was Cain's sin. He was jealous of Abel. He resented God's acceptance of his brother, and not until Abel's blood poured over Cain's cruel hands did jealousy subside. Solomon might well have written the epitaph for Abel's tombstone: 'Jealousy is [cruel] as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire' (SS 8:6 ESV). Anyone who has experienced deliverance from this hellish giant knows too well how jealousy can decimate a friendship, dissolve a romance, destroy a marriage, shoot tension through the ranks of professionals, nullify unity on a team, ruin a church, separate preachers, foster competition among the choir, bring bitterness and finger-pointing among talented instrumentalists and capable singers. Jealousy questions motives and deplores another's success." The Bible says, "If your heart is full of...jealousy...don't... cover up the truth." Instead, determine that by the grace of God, you're going to break free from its control.  Swindoll adds: "I lived many years obeying its commands. It was gross agony. Finally, I realized I didn't have to live in darkness. I slew the giant and crawled out...and the releasing sunlight of freedom captured my heart. The air was so fresh and clean. Oh, the difference it has made! It's utter delight. Ask my wife."Free from jealousy. Jealousy is cruel as the grave.Share This DevotionalSend us a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

This is the concluding episode of Leslie McFadden's appearance on Sexual Assault Survivor Stories. Leslie's experience is a powerful example of the systemic issues that many survivors face. In October 2015, she was drugged and raped in Brooklyn. The last thing she remembers was drinks on Stone Street; she would wake up in a hospital many hours later, not knowing what happened. Slowly, she began to piece together that something terrible had occurred. When Leslie reported her sexual assault to the NYPD's Special Victims Unit, she faced additional trauma. One of the first questions a detective asked her was whether this was truly a case of assault or just regret. The next day, she was asked to make a controlled call to the perpetrator, during which he admitted to the assault. Immediately after, the detective presented her with a form that she was told would put her case on hold pending further evidence. Unbeknownst to her, this was actually a case closure form, which she signed while in distress. The detective never spoke to the assailant and closed the case without further investigation. Leslie's story is not unique. She became one of 19 survivors to urge the federal Department of Justice to open an investigation into how the NYPD handled sexual assault survivors and their cases. In 2022, the DOJ opened an investigation into the NYPD's Special Victims Unit to examine whether the department discriminated against sexual assault survivors when conducting their investigations. This episode is the conclusion of a two-part encounter. Leslie is an articulate, strong, and influential voice for victims and survivors everywhere; her ongoing goal is to make a lasting change in this world, to help overcome rape culture, and encourage law enforcement to become trauma-informed, empathic, and thorough in the investigation of rape and sexual assault. As I mentioned in last week's episode, a former guest of SASS, Rachel Izzo, introduced me to Leslie. If you haven't heard Rachel Izzo's episodes, I encourage you to take the time to listen to those as well. Rachel and Leslie share similar experiences with the New York Police Department's Special Victims Unit, and have both shown immense courage in sharing their stories.

Lothar Hermann found out his neighbour was ‘architect of the Holocaust' Adolf Eichmann.Lothar Hermann's German-Jewish family perished in the Holocaust, but when he escaped to Argentina, little did he know that within a few years a Nazi fugitive would wind up living at the end of his street. Lilianna Hermann spent two decades uncovering the story of a hidden family hero - her great uncle Lothar - only to find a shocking truth: it was Lothar who had played a vital role in capturing the notorious SS officer and Nazi fugitive, Adolf Eichmann, the man responsible with carrying out Hitler's Final Solution. But Lothar was not celebrated in Eichmann's capture and eventual trial and back home Lothar faced threats and indifference from Nazi sympathisers. This is the unbelievable true story of how a blind survivor, living off his pension, brought down one of the architects of the Holocaust.

Tredje rikets sista dagar präglades av kaos, förstörelse och död. I sitt politiska testamente utsåg Adolf Hitler storamiralen Karl Dönitz till Tysklands nye statschef. Dönitz var ingen ideolog eller sadist som Himmler eller Goebbels, men en lojal och effektiv tjänsteman i ett system byggt på förtryck och massmord. Regeringen han ledde – den så kallade Flensburgregeringen – existerade i drygt tre veckor med huvudsakligt syfte att organisera kapitulationen och möjliggöra för civila och soldater att fly till väst.I praktiken saknade Dönitzregeringen verkligt inflytande. Tysklands militära kapacitet var krossad, infrastrukturen låg i ruiner och de allierade kontrollerade redan stora delar av landet. Ändå spelade regeringen en viss roll i samordningen av partiella kapitulationer, bland annat i Danmark, Norge och norra Tyskland.Detta är det sista avsnittet i en serie av sju om andra världskriget från podden Historia Nu. Programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med militärhistorikern Lars Ericson Wolke, aktuell med boken Tredje rikets sista dagar.Den 7–8 maj 1945 undertecknades Tysklands villkorslösa kapitulation, vilket formellt avslutade kriget i Europa. Trots detta dröjde det till den 23 maj innan Dönitzregeringen arresterades av brittiska trupper och upplöstes. Under mellantiden rådde fullständigt kaos: miljoner människor var på flykt, städer låg i ruiner och tusentals dog i svält, sjukdomar och våld. Tyskland delades upp i fyra ockupationszoner, och i Nürnberg inleddes rättegångarna mot ansvariga för nazismens brott.Karl Dönitz dömdes till tio års fängelse för krigsförbrytelser. I sina memoarer, liksom Albert Speer, försökte han tona ned sin roll och lägga skulden på Hitler. Först långt senare framträdde en tydligare bild av Wehrmachts och SS:s aktiva deltagande i folkmordet.Dönitz var en teknokratisk lojalist. Född 1891, utbildad inom den kejserliga marinen, gjorde han karriär som ubåtsofficer under första världskriget. Under andra världskriget ledde han ubåtskriget mot de allierade med hänsynslös effektivitet och lät använda koncentrationslägerfångar i rustningsindustrin. Han blev partimedlem först 1944, men var länge en trogen anhängare av Hitler.Striderna om Hitlers efterträdarskap hade pågått länge. Hess diskvalificerades efter sin flygning till Storbritannien 1941, Göring föll i onåd, och Himmler förrådde Hitler genom att försöka förhandla med väst. Valet föll slutligen på Dönitz, vars lojalitet aldrig ifrågasatts.Hans regering – baserad i Flensburg vid danska gränsen – försökte fördröja kapitulationen inför Röda armén, och istället prioritera reträtt och överlämnande till västmakterna. Detta ledde till partiella kapitulationer i bland annat Danmark (5 maj), Nordvästtyskland och Nederländerna, samt förhandlingar i Norge. Det var ett försök att mildra konsekvenserna av det oundvikliga nederlaget.Bild: Gripandet av tre medlemmar ur Flensburgregeringen: Alfred Jodl, Albert Speer och presidenten Karl Dönitz.

Is it a heartwarming hit or a confusing miss? Eric and Andrea break it down, sharing their thoughts on the movie's gripping mystery, the emotional dynamics of the Postables, and Oliver's journey into fatherhood. We even dive into the letter mystery at the heart of the plot—does it deliver the usual SS&D magic, or does it leave us scratching our heads?Along the way, we discuss the highs (hello, Gregory Harrison!) and the lows (sorry, Rita, you got sidelined), and what the film does well in portraying complex family dynamics. Plus, we chat about some unexpected moments and how this installment stacks up to others in the franchise.But it's not all serious—there's also plenty of playful banter as we dissect Hallmark's mystery month antics, the lack of marketing, and what Hallmark could do to get their mystery game back on track.

What do N*zi war criminals, NASA engineers, the CIA, and Dr. Fauci have in common? In this explosive episode, we pull back the curtain on Operation Paperclip—the secret U.S. mission that brought over 1,600 N*zi scientists to America after WWII. These weren't just lab coats with PhDs—they were SS officers and war criminals who helped shape everything from our space program to mind-control experiments like MK-Ultra. But it didn't stop there. We draw the chilling parallels to how science was weaponized again during the COVID-19 pandemic—with Big Pharma calling the shots, dissent crushed, and Fauci elevated as the infallible face of “the science.” From rockets built on slave labor to modern-day mandates driven by profit and power, this episode is a deep dive into how unchecked science becomes tyranny—and how history repeats when no one is held accountable.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.nymphetalumni.comIn this solo debut episode, Sam introduces us to her fantastically anachronistic obsession: dinosaurs and their recurring impact on fashion and culture. From the “Bone Wars” of the Gilded Age to the fossilized postwar fantasy of The Flintstones to the mass Dinomania surrounding the release of 1993's Jurassic Park, Sam explores paleontological and prehistoric aesthetics as a reflection of cultural anxieties and technological advancements. She also walks us through major fashion moments including Jeremy Scott's electroclash cavewomen (S/S 2010) and Gucci's retro roadside dinosaur encounter (F/W 2017).

Rabbi Chananiah ben Akashia teaches us that Hashem desires to bestow abundant merit upon the Jewish people. For this reason, He gave us many mitzvot—each one an opportunity to earn immense spiritual reward. While the ultimate reward for mitzvot is reserved for the World to Come, Chazal teach that mitzvot also bring tremendous benefits in this world. Our sages explain that the Jewish people were not originally deserving of redemption from Egypt. It was only through the merit of two mitzvot that they were finally freed. The sea itself split in the merit of Yosef HaTzaddik, whose steadfast resistance to Eshet Potiphar became a merit for all of Klal Yisrael. The Midrash at the beginning of Parashat Ki Tavo tells us that Hashem gave the mitzvah of bikkurim (bringing the first fruits) to the Jewish people as a merit to help them enter the Land of Israel. The Torah also teaches that honoring one's parents brings the reward of long life. And in the merit of emunah , Chazal say, we will be redeemed from our current exile. There are countless examples of how mitzvot serve as a source of zechuyot . Every test and opportunity Hashem gives us is a chance to accumulate spiritual wealth that benefits not only us but our children and grandchildren for generations. We may not always see the full reward of a mitzvah, but we can be certain that every one of them helps us in unimaginable ways. A powerful modern example was shared by A.J. Gindi, the head of Renewal—an organization that helps kidney patients find life-saving matches. A woman with an extremely high PRA level came to the organization, desperately in need of a kidney. Due to her rare profile, the chance of finding a match was extraordinarily slim. Even Renewal's vast international database turned up nothing. They held a special donor event in the hopes of a miracle—and miraculously, a match was found. Before the transplant, the woman was asked what merit she believed had brought about such an unlikely success. She replied that she personally wasn't aware of any special merit, but she shared a story from her grandmother's experience during the Holocaust. While imprisoned in a concentration camp, her grandmother was shown rare kindness by an SS officer, who gave her a pass allowing her to move freely without being questioned. She thanked him and pleaded for passes for her parents as well, which he granted. Overjoyed to help her family, she returned with the passes—but was then approached by someone who begged her to obtain one more. At first, she refused, fearing that pushing further might result in the officer rescinding everything. But then the person explained: the pass wasn't for himself—it was for the Bobover Rebbe , who was in their barracks. "We must save his life," he said. The woman, a professional artist, decided to try to replicate an identical pass. She spent the entire night replicating it with precision. The pass was delivered to the Rebbe, and baruch Hashem , it saved his life. The kidney recipient concluded: "Perhaps in the merit of my grandmother saving a life, Hashem is now saving mine." After the successful transplant, the donor was asked what merit she thought enabled her to be the match. She replied, "I'm not sure, but I come from a family of rabbis. In fact, my grandfather was the Bobover Rebbe." Everyone present was stunned. Eighty years after a brave woman risked her life to save the Rebbe, Hashem repaid the kindness in kind—his granddaughter was now saving her granddaughter's life. This is just one example of how a single mitzvah can echo across generations. Every mitzvah carries infinite merit, benefiting us both in this world and the next. It is our responsibility and privilege to embrace each opportunity with joy, knowing that every act of goodness creates a ripple of blessing beyond what we can ever imagine.

Never one to pull any punches, this SASS episode is no exception. This is a full throttle, deep dive, all-in listen. A Gut Punch.  Leslie McFadden's experience is a powerful example of the systemic issues that many survivors face. In October 2015, she was drugged and raped in Brooklyn. The last thing she remembers was drinks on Stone Street; she would wake up in a hospital many hours later, not knowing what happened. Slowly, she began to piece together that something terrible had occurred. When Leslie reported the assault to the NYPD's Special Victims Unit, she faced additional trauma. One of the first questions a detective asked her was whether this was truly a case of assault or just regret. The next day, she was asked to make a controlled call to the perpetrator, during which he admitted to the assault. Immediately after, the detective presented her with a form that she was told would put her case on hold pending further evidence. Unbeknownst to her, this was actually a case closure form, which she signed while in distress. The detective never spoke to the assailant and closed the case without further investigation. Leslie's story is not unique. She became one of 19 survivors to urge the federal Department of Justice to open an investigation into how the NYPD handled sexual assault survivors and their cases. In 2022, the DOJ opened an investigation into the NYPD's Special Victims Unit to examine whether the department discriminated against sexual assault survivors when conducting their investigations. This episode is part one of a two-part encounter. In the next episode, we'll delve deeper into Leslie's journey and the problematic, systemic issues she faced within the NYPD. If you haven't heard Rachel Izzo's episodes, please take time to listen to those as well. Rachel and Leslie share similar experiences and have both shown immense courage in sharing their stories.

Does history provide us with lessons, or does the past offer warnings about what might happen now based on human tendencies that transcend time and culture? In his new book The Nazi Mind, the historian and filmmaker Laurence Rees studies the Nazi mentalities that produced the most horrendous crimes in history. Beyond high-ranking Nazi officials and SS fanatics, Rees also delves into the attitudes of medical professionals and ordinary Germans who assisted their leaders in barbarous acts. What about the Nazis can help us navigate today's crisis of liberal democracy? Recommended reading: The Nazi Mind: Twelve Warnings From History by Laurence Rees

Jest 5 maja 1945 roku. Wokół położonego w Austrii zamku Itter gromadzą się oddziały Waffen-SS, które mają zdobyć twierdzę i zlikwidować wszystkie osoby przebywające wewnątrz. Naprzeciw nim stają amerykańscy żołnierze, wspierani przez żołnierzy Wehrmachtu, austriackiego oficera SS i kilkunastu Francuzów, wśród których jest dwóch byłych premierów Francji. Skąd w Zamku Itter znaleźli się francuscy politycy? Jak doszło do tego, że Amerykanie walczyli ramię w ramię z Wehrmachtem przeciwko SS-manom? W najnowszym odcinku Misji specjalnej odsłaniamy kulisy starcia, określanego mianem jednej z najdziwniejszych bitew II wojny światowej.

At the height of the Holocaust twenty-five young inmates of the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp—mainly Jewish women and girls—were selected to design, cut, and sew beautiful fashions for elite Nazi women in a dedicated salon. It was work that they hoped would spare them from the gas chambers. This fashion workshop—called the Upper Tailoring Studio—was established by Hedwig Höss, the camp commandant's wife, and patronized by the wives of SS guards and officers. Here, the dressmakers produced high-quality garments for SS social functions in Auschwitz, and for ladies from Nazi Berlin's upper crust. Drawing on diverse sources—including interviews with the last surviving seamstress—The Dressmakers of Auschwitz (Harper Collins, 2021) follows the fates of these brave women. Their bonds of family and friendship not only helped them endure persecution, but also to play their part in camp resistance. Weaving the dressmakers' remarkable experiences within the context of Nazi policies for plunder and exploitation, historian Lucy Adlington exposes the greed, cruelty, and hypocrisy of the Third Reich and offers a fresh look at a little-known chapter of World War II and the Holocaust.

This week we devote an episode of the MMQ&A to pensions of all flavours, answering questions on public sector schemes, partial transfers, fund choices and much more! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA12    00:52  Question 1 Hi Chaps! I only recently got into podcasts and am frantically trying to listen to as many pension ones as I can. Yours are the most useful I've come across and now I can't stop listening to them all! A small question I hope you can clarify for me please: I am 48 and a few years away from possibly an early retirement (hopefully 58) but trying to plan ahead. I have both a DB pension through work (NHS) and a personal Vanguard SIPP pension I also add to monthly and am of the understanding that you can take 25% tax free (up to the set limit) from your pensions overall and therefore my question is- could I take all the 25% tax free amount from my SIPP and leave the rest of my SIPP and all my DB pension pot to pay me a pension from. In example (arbitrary figures): my DB and SIPP are each worth £100000, totalling £200000. Therefore, under current rules, could I take £50000 tax free from the SIPP (the overall 25%) and the other £100000 in DB and £50000 left in my SIPP to pay me a pension monthly. Or is this not possible at all as they are different schemes, ie DB and DC? Many thanks Jon, from Norfolk   05:30  Question 2 Hi Guys, Firstly, a massive thank you for all the information you provide, it really has completely transformed my personal finances. I still have a long way to go until retirement (I've just turned 30) but thanks to you, I'm confident it won't have to be the state pension age! My question is – I work in Local Government and, whilst the salary is distinctly average (37k) it does come with the benefit of a DB pension scheme. I'm now considering making some additional contributions but there are two options available and I'm struggling to find any useful information online… – Make AVCs into what I understand to be a separate pension scheme more akin to a DC pension – Make APCs whereby I effectively buy more DB pension. It works out at approx an additional £10 guaranteed yearly income for every £80 (£100 if including tax relief) I contribute. In my head, this sounds good as long as I make it 10 years into retirement! Is there an obvious answer to this question? Only obvious downside to the DB option is, if I were to pass away before retirement, the additional pension is effectively lost and not paid to my next of kin! But then again, I don't intend to go anywhere anytime soon! Any thoughts appreciated and thanks again! Jack   12:03  Question 3 I have a question relating to the upcoming change in minimum pension age and how it affects those of us in the 55 bracket before the 6 April 2028 change.  I don't know if there is any clarity from government yet but if I am 55 in September 2027 and take a PCLS 25% tax free from an AVC DC running alongside my DB pension scheme, then want to retire fully and start taking the DB in September 2028 when I am 56 is that possible? There seems to be a grey area about what happens after the April 2028 cut off to those of us in this age range. It doesn't even appear clear if someone taking early retirement at 55 would then stop being eligible for monthly payments after April 2028 until they were 57. So they think they have retired fully, then when April comes around their payments stop! Appreciate that sounds a dramatic scenario but I haven't been able to find anything comprehensive on it so hope you can help. I also have a question on DBs with AVCs which might be useful for others. If I have a DB pension valued at £300k and saved £75k in AVCs over the years, can I take the full £75k at 55/57 without it a) affecting the DB monthly amount which can be taken from age 60 in my case, and b) without it being classed as a pension event, so I can continue to contribute over £10k a year into a DC scheme as I plan to continue working until 60. Appreciate they are specific to me but thought there must be others in a similar position. Sorry for more long questions. Thanks for all the great podcasts, look forward to the next. Thanks, Don 19:34  Question 4 Hi Pete! Hi Rog! I've been a long time listener to your dulcet tones and concise advise for a long time and love what you guys do, so please keep doing it! Another pension Question I'm afraid! A while ago I consolidated a few old workplace pensions in to a SIPP, but I still have my current workplace DC pension ticking away. Its not great, being the bare legal minimum (2.5% contribution from my employer) and the fees seem higher than they should be. If I close that pension and transfer to my better performing and cheaper SIPP, I effectively opt-out of the employer contributions scheme. My question is what should I do to be most efficient with my pensions to ensure I am getting the benefit of employer contributions without paying over the odds for an underperforming scheme? I'm 34, and (thanks in no small part to you) feel somewhat on top of my finances. We have an almost balanced budget, regular savings (both short and longer term) in tax efficient wrappers and only a smidge of interest free debt all under control. My SIPP is knocking on for £50k, my DC around £18k. Thanks again Tom 26:49  Question 5 Hi guys Thank you for the advice from your book, podcasts and videos. They encouraged me be brave enough to open a Stocks and Shares ISA, to begin my investing journey. They also encouraged me consider income protection, which I now have. My question is about Additional Voluntary Contributions, compared with a SIPP. I am fortunate to be part a Local Government, Defined Benefit Scheme. I would like to contribute more to my retirement savings, each month a third into a pension and two thirds into a S&S ISA. My pension gives me the option of buying additional pension, however the rates are not very competitive. I make AVC to a third party provider. I have also started a SIPP. This has lower fees and better customer service, then the AVC provider. Something I can't quite understand. What are the benefits of making a AVC, which deducts my contribution pre-tax compared with making a contribution to a SIPP and claiming the tax back? I am a higher rate tax payer. My employer does not offer employer match or salary sacrifice. Thanks for all the help. Rob 29:45  Question 6 Hi question for your podcast if you'd be so kind. My question is about salary sacrifice and its effect on relevant earnings for the annual allowance. I'll use some figures to illustrate and for simplicity assume tax relief and employer's contributions are included in the amounts going into the scheme. I have my employers scheme and a separate SIPP. My income comes from employment and rents from property. I generally put anything I can from the property into the SIPP and sacrifice as much as I can into AVCs in my company pension to benefit from Sal sac. Scenario; my salary before tax is £60000. If I where to sacrifice £500 per month under and electric car scheme and £1500 per month into my pension (combination of pension contributions and AVCs) that would be a total of 24000 sacrificed from 60000 leaving me with a pre tax wage of £36000 and £18000 in my pension pot for the year. My question is what is now left of my annual allowance. Are my relevant earnings now only £36000 and therefore the £18000 already sacrificed come off the £36000 or do I have the £36000 left? Or something else? What would be the amount of money that I could put into my SIPP from my income from property and not break the annual allowance. I hope this makes sense. For ease assume previous years are full in respect to carry forward. Thank you both! Love the podcast! John. 32:30  Question 7 Love the show. Listen whenever I get a chance. I know you've covered investments, savings, pensions etc, but I'm after some advice. To keep it short as requested last week, I've been a public sector worker for 10 years now and have not paid into a pension scheme due to personal financial issues. I got promoted 3 years ago and am now in a much better financial position. I have still got 25 years service until I can retire, but am concerned I've missed out on a a large contribution for the pension scheme. Would I be better opting into the pension or looking at other alternative such as S&S index, ISA, etc? I do intend to promote a few more times before retirement so pension contributions/investments will increase with income. Looking forward to your advice. Regards, Raph
