543 | The problem with playing it safe: Why we're afraid to invest09 Nov 202600:28:14

What should you do when your investments start losing money?

One member of the Be Clever With Your Cash community recently invested £300 for the first time. Three weeks later, it was worth £295. Not a huge loss, but enough to make them wonder whether investing was really for them.

And with stock markets having a turbulent week following the US Mid-terms, it's a question plenty of investors might be asking themselves.

So, in this episode of Cash Chats, we're looking at what to do when your investments fall, when you should consider selling, and how to avoid making decisions in a panic.

We'll also explore why so many UK savers are nervous about investing, what risks you need to understand before getting started, and whether investing is actually right for everyone.

Plus, with the government keen to get more of us investing, could its plans really make a difference?

This weeks episode is sponsored by Charles Stanley http://charlesstanley.sjv.io/6k7oEQ

The Budget headlines have come and gone, but what does it really mean for your money?

In this episode, Steve and James look beyond the headline giveaways to explore whether we'll actually be better off, what's changing with savings and ISAs, and who's ultimately paying for the government's promises.

Plus, we uncover some of the lesser-known announcements and ask whether there's anything you should be doing differently with your money.

540 | When patience isn't a virtue - all the ways waiting leaves you worse off19 Oct 202600:24:47

This weeks episode is sponsored by Charles Stanley http://charlesstanley.sjv.io/6k7oEQ

We're always told that patience pays off when it comes to money. But sometimes waiting can actually leave you worse off.

This week, James joins Steve to explore when holding out for something better becomes an expensive mistake.

From savings accounts that pay interest upfront to rising prices, expensive debts and retirement decisions, we look at the situations where acting sooner could make financial sense.

We also discuss whether it's worth waiting for the perfect deal, why putting off financial decisions can cost you money, and whether there's actually a mathematical way to know when to stop waiting.

539 | How scammers can trick anyone12 Oct 202600:27:44

Think you'd never fall for a scam? Think again.

Scammers have been finding ways to trick people out of their money for centuries, but modern technology has made their methods increasingly sophisticated — and much harder to spot.

From suspicious emails and fake websites to convincing impersonations and AI-generated voices, fraudsters have more ways than ever to catch us off guard.

In this episode of Cash Chats, Steve and James explore how scams have evolved, why anyone can become a victim, and some of the tricks criminals use to gain our trust.

Plus, James shares the warning signs to look out for, practical ways to protect yourself and your money, and what to do if you think you've been scammed.

538 | ADHD and money: impulse spending, overwhelm and what can help05 Oct 202600:26:47

This weeks episode is sponsored by Charles Stanley http://charlesstanley.sjv.io/6k7oEQ

Managing money can be difficult at the best of times, but ADHD can bring its own set of challenges – from impulse spending and planning ahead to remembering deadlines, making decisions and simply finding the mental energy to deal with your finances.

In this episode, Amelia is joined by neurodivergent money expert and ADHD coach Abby Birch to look at the relationship between ADHD and money.

They discuss why conventional money advice doesn't always work for neurodivergent people, how emotions and executive function can affect financial decisions, and some practical ways to make managing your money feel more achievable.

They also talk about impulse spending, financial anxiety, guilt and embarrassment around money, and why finding systems that work with your brain can be far more useful than trying to force yourself to manage money the way you think you "should".

Childcare can be one of the biggest costs facing families, with full-time childcare for a child under two averaging £263 a week.

In this episode, Steve is joined by Amelia Murray to explain the help available to parents — including two government schemes that could save some families up to £8,000 a year.

They cover who qualifies, how the schemes work, how much you could save and why around 400,000 families may be missing out on support they're entitled to.

If childcare costs are taking a big bite out of your budget, this episode will help you understand what help is available and how to claim it.

534 | Britain's £306 billion savings blind spot07 Sep 202600:26:58

This week on Cash Chats, New Bank of England figures reveal that almost £306 billion is sitting in accounts paying no interest at all — more than the amount held in fixed-rate savings.

So why are so many of us leaving our money somewhere that earns nothing? And with huge sums also sitting in easy-access accounts paying relatively low rates, are we making the most of our savings?

This week, James Andrews joins me to look at where people are actually keeping their cash, why so much money ends up in poor-paying accounts, and what you should think about when deciding where to keep your own savings.
