Everything from making sense of your payslip, to mortgages and pensions, to financial wellbeing and mental health – it’s all part of helping make sure you’re making the best financial decisions for you.

Stay One Step Ahead Of Scammers
Scams aren’t something that just happen to older people, young people are also likely to get scammed. The scammers are getting smarter and have lots of clever ways to con you out of your cash - whether that’s pretending to be your bank, tricking you into becoming a money mule, buying stuff you don’t receive and much more.
Head of Fraud Risk Management at Santander, Chris Ainsley, gives our host Kia Commodore insight on how the fraudsters work and plenty of tips on what to watch out for. After all, keeping ahead of scammers will help us stay a little bit richer.

Navigating Love And Money
Money and love can be a strange mix. It can feel like lots of unspoken rules and pitfalls start popping up when your emotional and financial lives come together. That’s true even when things go smoothly. But what if they don’t?
Amy James, a Legal & General Product Manager, joins Kia Commodore to share how she navigated this journey. When Amy and her partner Dan decided to settle down together, he revealed that he’d built up some pretty big debts. That was hard enough for him to admit. Sorting it all out and getting to a much better financial place was even more of a challenge.
Amy tells their story, explains how everything changed again when they had a child and talks about how they manage their money today. She also shares some excellent tips for talking through difficult financial situations with your partner.

Customer Reviews
Excellent
Very basic but why it’s so good and not too long
Really good - 95% of the time
I do really like this podcast and would’ve given it a 5 star review but for the episode on travel tips. Sorry but you are at risk if you don’t use a travel agent in my opinion. If something goes wrong the travel agent would deal with it which is worth the extra pennies for piece of mind. Sometimes the cheapest option turns out to be the most expensive
Otherwise good work and some good tips
I feel a little bit smarter after every episode!
Finally a finance podcast I can relate to and understand. Kia has a brill way of making the complex topics make sense to a younger audience and the guests are really great too.
