MYWALLST
About this episode

This week, Mike sits down with Emma Farrelly, a Qualified Financial Adviser (QFA) and Retirement Planning Adviser (RPA) from Future Financial Planning in Dublin.

Emma walks through what every twenty-something needs to know about saving for success, the risks of relying solely on property as an investment, and what auto-enrolment means for both employees and employers. She also gives her two cents on our sworn enemy — deemed disposal — and the broader Irish wealth landscape.

As a newly rich country, Ireland still has a lot to learn about building generational wealth but the tide is definitely turning.

If you’re Irish, you won’t want to miss this episode.
