I always love catching up with my good friend and fellow financial planner Pete Matthew—especially when we get to record it for The Retirement Café Podcast.

You may have heard Pete on the podcast before (this is his third appearance!) or seen him on his hugely popular Meaningful Money YouTube channel. We've even swapped mics—I've joined his show twice too! We both share a mission: helping people retire with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

This time, Pete's back to talk about his brand-new book The Meaningful Retirement Guide. It's packed with straightforward guidance on how to organise your finances in retirement—so you can get on with living the life you've worked hard for.

In our conversation, we cover:

• The biggest mistake people make when planning their retirement

• Why Pete has no plans to stop working—ever!

• How one man turned volunteering into a paid role that transformed his retirement plan

• The shift from saving to spending (and why it's harder than it sounds)

• What your money is really for

As always, I hope it gives you a helpful nudge toward the kind of retirement you truly want.

For those who want to go further, Pete offers a self-paced Retirement Planning Course through his Meaningful Money Academy. The course includes video lessons, downloadable tools, access to financial planning software, and a supportive online community. Use the code PODCAST for a discount.
