About this episode

Hosts Tom and Nick assess World Cup nations based on pension metrics to determine the best retirement system.

It's the beautiful game, reimagined for people who get a little too excited about replacement rates. Hosts Tom and Nick have done something nobody asked for: assessed all 48 World Cup nations across eight pension and lifestyle metrics and run a full knockout tournament to crown the world's greatest retirement system. There's no group stage, because the real ones are complicated enough - but there is a referee, Brian Gielty of LAPF Investments, to adjudicate the inevitable disagreements via VAR. Hosted on Acast.
