The Century Plan Podcast | Understanding Cost, Demonstrating Value
Season 4 Episode 8
Podcast Introduction
Welcome to The Century Plan, a podcast that looks at financial independence. How to achieve it, and how to maintain it, during a lifetime which may see people, born today, living to age 100. Dennis Hall and Sarah Steele educate and highlight ways to build a brighter retirement through financial planning.
In our latest, thought-provoking, episode of The Century Plan Sarah asks Dennis a key question: How much does financial planning actually cost? And just as importantly, what value do you get in return?
Financial planning fees can sometimes seem unclear—hourly rates, fixed fees, percentages, subscriptions—so in this episode, we’re aiming to provide some clarity. We explain how different charging models work, what to consider when choosing a planner, and how working with the right professional can help you make informed financial decisions that support your future.
We also discuss:
✔️ The impact of fees on your long-term investments
✔️ Why an initial conversation with a planner should be free of charge
✔️ The reassurance and structure that financial planning provides
As Dennis puts it: “Good financial planning helps you stay on track, even when life punches you in the face.”
If cost has been a concern, this episode will help you understand how to assess value and make confident decisions about your financial future. Tune in today.
