Ben Atherton
A qualified Financial Planner with relatable and genuine personal finance content without the clickbait and hype of typical content creators.
I'm Ben, and for more than 8 years, I’ve worked in regulated financial planning, guiding people through pensions, investing, retirement planning, ISAs, mortgages, and long-term strategy. My goal on this channel is simple: to give you clear, evidence-based guidance you can actually trust.
Most people in their 30s and 40s earn well but still feel behind. They’re unsure if they’re saving enough, investing the right way, or setting themselves up properly for the future. My videos walk you through the same frameworks and principles I use with clients every day, explained calmly, without jargon, pressure, or overwhelm.
If you want grounded, expert-led content on pensions, retirement, investments or just making smarter decisions with your money, you’re in the right place.
New videos every Monday at 6pm.
