Talking Money #16

We’ve saved an average of £1,744 each since last March, spending 65% less overall on typical day-to-day expenses. But what would happen if we invested these lockdown savings for the future? Also in this episode of Talking Money, why first-time buyers are better off than renters to the tune of £800 this year, and the surprising financial and mental resilience demonstrated by the over-50s during the pandemic. Welcome to episode 16 of Talking Money, with Martin Bamford and Hannah Godfrey. In each episode of Talking Money, we take a topical look at the big money stories of the week, putting our personal spin on the news.
