For a lot of people, retirement is a big financial unknown. 

Do I have enough super? Am I doing enough? Am I too late? What if I get there and hate it? 

In this episode of Money & a Good Life, Steph and Ryan sit down with James Wrigley, Melbourne based financial advisor, part-owner of First Financial, and author of Retire Life Ready, to talk about building wealth, shaping a retirement that actually feels good, and navigating the critical years just before you retire. 

James is known for making money matters simple and relatable. With over two decades of experience and a strong following on social media (over 200,000 across TikTok and Instagram), he helps thousands of Australians take control of their finances and get retirement-ready. 

What we talk about: 

  • Reframing what retirement could look like for your life 
  • Addressing the anxiety people feel in their 50s about "leaving it too late" 
  • Financial advice as more than numbers, it's about living well now and later 
  • Where to start if you're picking up Retire Life Ready  today 

If you're unsure about retirement, worried you're not doing enough, or wondering if it's too late to get on track, this conversation will show you that you're not alone, and there's always a path forward. 

Here's to your Good Life. And thanks for listening.
