Episode 42 with Elizabeth Evans

Dear Friend,

I wish I would have accepted years ago that I didn't need to spend endless hours researching women I wanted to be like, a master's degree in theology, to be a New York's best selling author, and the worlds greatest wife and mom all in order to make a big impact in this world.

I realize now that I've focused too much time worrying about things that don't really matter and now I want to inspire you with what I've discovered.

Listen to today's episode on how to find your path, the blessings of collaboration, and the gifts found in unexpected places. You'll learn how to chase after the dreams inside of you and where to take your next step.

Should I invest in a pension or save money in a bank account!?

Last week I shared some ideas about the value (or potential lack thereof) in having a pension of 'average' size. The reaction to that piece was really quite interesting; it seemed to have surprised some people! There is no question that €100,000 is a lot of money, no matter what way you slice it however having that in a pension fund at the point of retirement leaves one with, to be fair, quite limited options to access a meaningful withdrawal income. In last weeks' piece I referred to a previous blog we shared about the value of amassing a pension pot of €1m, and the considerable options that offers one at retirement. That got me thinking and so this week I take a hearty stab at comparing the merits of saving into a regular deposit savings account, or into a pension if one was aiming for a lump sum of €1m! We will explore which of these in this 2-horse race, in Net terms stands to offer you the best possible chance of success. This is not something that I have never seen done before, maybe there's a reason for that.....let's see!
