There was a time that a one-million euro pension pot might have seemed like an awful lot of money to want to retire with. But with most of us living longer and healthier lives, plus the cost-of-living crisis, it's really not as ambitious as it once seemed.

Nick Charalambous joins Katie Byrne on Money Talks to break down what you can do now to hit that goal - regardless of your starting age.

How to retire as a pension millionaire, with Nick Charalambous

Are you the type of person who breaks out into a cold sweat when the prospect of financial planning and management comes up in conversation?

Is the phrase 'Ah, I'll do it later' more likely to come out of your mouth than 'five-year plan'?

And have you indeed managed to go for years, perhaps even decades, without ever so much as glancing at your annual bank statement?

Well, this is the episode for you. This week on Money Talks, host Katie Byrne is joined by Karena Duane, founder of Money, Just For Her, to look at the extremely common and hopefully quite improvable world of the financial late bloomer.

"It is never too late," notes Duane as she sets about breaking down the barriers of coming late to managing your money, whether you're on a personal or a professional journey.

"I think everybody gets there in the end – it's just about what your priorities have been up until now, and now what your priorities are going forward."
