Ep - 99 - Cut Bigger Bills

Saison 1 · Épisode 99

mardi 25 mars 2025 • Durée 29:38

April is an expensive month. Water, energy, council tax, broadband and mobile bills all increase during the month. But it does not have to be a done deal. You can cut hundreds of pounds from your household budget and may actually be able to get a tax gift if you are one of the two million eligible couples who have not claimed the marriage allowance. It can be worth more than a thousand pounds.

Water bills are going up but about 40% of households can save money by opting for a water meter. If your home has more bedrooms than occupants a water meter is likely to be cheaper than if the water company estimates your bills.

Fixed price energy bills are once again likely to be cheaper than the price cap. Even the energy regulator recommends customers to go for a fix. It takes minutes to check out the market and apply for a better deal.

Look after your money. No one else will.

Ep- 98 - Get Saving

Saison 1 · Épisode 98

vendredi 14 mars 2025 • Durée 26:23

It is time to make sure we are not being ripped off by banks and building societies. There is currently around £250 billion sitting in bank and building society accounts paying no interest according to the Bank of England. And the banks use this money to bolster their profits without suggesting to customers how they could be much better off.

Instant access savings accounts pay up to 4% currently and regular savings accounts pay more and help to give customers a savings habit.

A savings habit can start with one penny on day one and give you £667.95 by the end of year one.

Once a saver you can think about avoiding paying unnecessary tax and making sure you get the best deal on your money.

Ep 89 - Beware Black Friday

Saison 1 · Épisode 89

vendredi 22 novembre 2024 • Durée 27:27

We are being beseiged with Black Friday offers everywhere we look. Most of them do not deliver what they promise. But if there is something you need or really, really want make sure you do your research to make sure you are not scammed, charged too much, or sold something that is not worth what you are paying.

While you are doing the research you can also prep by selling some of the items in your wardrobe, spare room, kitchen or garage that you no longer need or like. It is easier than ever before to sell old clothes, toys, kitchen equipment and earn much more to fund new purchases.

Fraud increases during the Black Friday big sell. Pay with your credit card to protect yourself and remember if the price seems to be good to be true the item either does not exist or is not as described.

And remember if you do not buy anything during the extended Black Friday sales you have savedc 100%.

Ep - 88 Secure Your Future

Saison 1 · Épisode 88

vendredi 8 novembre 2024 • Durée 25:42

The pandemic and cost-of-living crisis have caused many people to make very difficult decisions about their spending to be able to keep within their stretched budgets. But an alarming number of workers need to look at their spending again if they are to avoid a poor old age.

Up to 25% of workers stopped paying into their pensions to increase their take home pay, according to one survey. This also had the effect of saving their employers money as well.

Times are still hard. But as the state pension is the worst in the developed world, workers need to invest for their old age and to make sure they do not miss out on their employers' pension contributions and the generous tax relief available.

Pensions are a key part of our wage packages and many companies will help employees to catch up with their pension pots. In just the same way as employers pay employees different rates of pay they may pay more into individual pensions as this helps to keep the beneficiaries loyal. If you don't ask you don't get.

Ep - 87 Time to free up money

Saison 1 · Épisode 87

vendredi 25 octobre 2024 • Durée 29:28

It has never been more important to make our money go further. Inflation may have reduced, but we are still paying a lot more for our food,energy and homes.

One way open to us all to make money is to sell stuff. It may be old clothes, old books, games, tech toys, kitchen equipment, in fact anything you have finished with.

Remember we typically wear less than half the clothes we own. We have wardrobes, chests of drawers, and rooms full of items that could boost your bank balance.

Every household has stuff that can be sold.

It is straightfoward to set up as an online seller, and surprisingly addictive. There are no selling costs with most sales, and there should be no tax to pay either.

Selling can make a big difference to our family budgets and as a bonus make space in our cluttered homes.

Ep - 86 How to Survive Fraud

Saison 1 · Épisode 86

vendredi 11 octobre 2024 • Durée 29:35

Fraud is an increasing problem in the UK made worse by the closure of thousands of bank branches. Banks are now required to pay compensation up to £85,000 within five days when criminals defraud their customers.

But as banks try to reduce their potential compensation bills it is becoming more difficult to make bank transfers and open new accounts, especially if your bank has closed the local branch.

It may be worth opening a second bank account that gives you local access to your money and the help of banking staff.

Mobile phones, internet businesses, social media and the way we shop online make it easier for criminals, and the banks on the hook for our fraudulent losses are upping their game in providing information about what to watch out for.

Essentially we should trust no one especially if they call on your land line, sound friendly and say they are from your bank; and never allow yourself to be rushed to make a payment.

My bank has twice got in the way of transactions I wanted to make. It was annoying at the time but if the deals had been dodgy they would have saved me from being defrauded before compensation became compulsory.

We need to make sure we understand the rules that our banks impose on interbank transactions before we have to make a transfer. If possible visit a bank branch.

If you are making a payment to a new payee then send a small amount as a test transfer. Read the small print when buying online.

It is also important to tell actionfraud.police.uk if your are defrauded. It may help them to warn others of a new danger.

Most importantly taking time may save you from repenting at leisure.

Ep - 85 Stop supermarkets making bigger profits

Saison 1 · Épisode 85

vendredi 27 septembre 2024 • Durée 28:13

Supermarkets make it difficult for us to get the best value for our money. They game us with their loyalty cards, special prices, extra points, yo-yo pricing and price matching.

The last quarter of the year is the most profitable for them.

We all need to work hard to make sure we are not made fools of by attractive displays, misleading prices and two tier pricing.

Shopping takes a little longer, but you can save a lot more by checking prices and trying own and basic brands than you will by being seduced by the loyalty card prices.

And you will soon see the patterns of when prices are increased. Big shopping baskets at the end of the month are likely to be more expensive than mid month because shoppers are less price conscious when they have just been paid, and the stores know it.

Ep - 84 Save money with flexible working

Saison 1 · Épisode 84

vendredi 13 septembre 2024 • Durée 24:49

The way we work has changed in recent years and employees are set to get more opportunities to make work work for them and their families.

Compressed four-day weeks will give employees the chance to complete a full working week in four days and continue to earn their full salaries. They will also be able to save big money as they are more productive for their employers.

Working from home saves big on travel costs and a four-day week allows parents to cut their child care costs by thousands of pounds a year as well as cutting commuting costs.

You may also be able to claim the cost of working from home from your employer or HMRC.

Ep - 83 Your Money Questions Answered

Saison 1 · Épisode 83

vendredi 30 août 2024 • Durée 25:45

Our finances have never been so sorely tested. Energy bills are increasing so are water bills and tax is also a worry among Mrs Mean listeners.

But that does not mean we have to accept the bad news without fighting back. There are lots of tips to save money on energy and water bills. Now is the time to check them out. Those trying to improve their financial positions also need to make sure that side hustles do not increase their tax bills.

New rules announced at the beginning of the year for people selling stuff on websites such as eBay, Vinted and Depop will increase the admin for the apps and websites but should not incur tax bills for most users. Check out the details and keep records to keep yourself safe.

Taking a lodger can also rescue a stressed family budget with £7,500 a year rent without incurring a tax bill, as lots of students and people starting their first jobs need better value accommodation than offered by private landlords.

Listen and save money.

Ep - 82 Student living cost crisis

Saison 1 · Épisode 82

vendredi 16 août 2024 • Durée 29:41

Student finances are even tougher this year for those starting their university courses, as maintenance loans are just 2.5% higher than last year, even though rents and other costs are increasing far faster than the cash help. The average maintenace loan is just £6,116 less than the average rent.

And to make matters worse the financial help offered by the Students Loans Company has been reduced for students whose parents have a household income of £25,000 or more since 2008.

Many parents with higher salaries will still struggle to help with the living costs of their children as their household finances are strained by higher mortgage rates, energy and food costs. Many parents are also not clear just how much they are expected to contribute to their children's living costs.

It is not surprising that more than half of students have to find a job.

We look at university living costs, the financial help available, getting a job, other ways of raising money and getting a guarantor for rental properties.
