About Retirement Planning UK over 50

Topics include pensions, ISAs, investing strategies, tax efficiency, income planning and lifestyle design.[1] Members get free short courses, case studies, discussions and the owner's latest research, along with monthly video calls.[1] The group describes its purpose as bridging an "advice gap" for people who do not want to pay a financial advisor but do not want to go it entirely alone, and who want coaching, accountability and contact with like-minded people.[1]

Shadrack is a qualified accountant.[3] A 2020 guest blog said he had worked for BT, Vodafone and Virgin Media and had been investing in the stock market for over 25 years.[3] The same post described his financial coaching for people with goals such as early retirement, and noted that a coach charges by the hour rather than a percentage of wealth, unlike an independent financial advisor.[3]
