Feel Better About Money is for anyone who wants to understand and feel better about money. As you’ve come to expect from the Times Money section, this podcast blends expert financial advice with a fresh, forward-thinking approach, offering an entertaining and supportive take on all aspects of personal finance.
Each week, Mead and Andrews will tackle a specific financial topic, featuring case studies and insights from their regular panel of expert guests. Their goal is to provide listeners with practical tips and information to make smarter financial decisions. The show covers a variety of topics, from managing debt and saving for a pension to deciding whether to buy a house or insure your cat.
The first episode is out now and covers everything you need to know heading into budgeting on October 30th. Mr Mead was joined by Laura Suter of wealth management firm AJ Bell, and Mr Andrews combed through the archives to uncover the most shocking budgets of all time.
On this show, we discuss the many rumors circulating as Prime Minister Rachel Reeves prepares to table her first budget in the House of Commons. Will capital gains tax be increased? Is it possible that small and medium-sized businesses will also be hit by the tax increase? And what changes await pension and inheritance tax?
“Of course, you can’t predict everything, but you can try and prepare. Expert tips on how to prepare your money, what you need to look for, and what you need to be careful about. ,” Meade said.
“If there is one silver lining coming out of the cost of living crisis, it is that people are more willing to talk about their finances, compare mortgage rates and discuss how much interest they are getting on savings. That’s what we want.” Souter said.
Joanna Noble, money editor at The Times and Sunday Times, said: Holly and Lucy make these important conversations engaging and relatable, helping listeners make informed decisions that can improve their financial well-being. This podcast feels like an extension of the trusted advice readers have come to expect from Times Money. ”
