Money Confidential with Katie Morley The Telegraph

How far would you go to afford private school for your children... and is it even worth it? In this episode, Katie hears from "Lucy" who is stuck on whether to send her children to private school. To find answers, Katie hits the road and speaks to Phil in Bolton, who sold his house, ISAs and moved the whole family 200 miles north in order to pay for his kids' school fees. Katie also finds answers from Melanie Sanderson, Managing Editor of the Good Schools Guide & Telegraph writer Helena Morrissey, who paid for all 9 of her children to attend private school.

In this episode, Katie chats to “Poppy” who is struggling with the wealth gap between herself and her siblings. However, Katie also discovers a dysfunctional penchant for posh purses is wreaking havoc with Poppy's finances. Over a delicious slice of lemon cake, she makes a rather sour confession: she's bitterly jealous of her richer siblings, who all go on skiing holidays together and have stopped bothering to invite her, as they assume she can't afford to go.

Would you let your adult child move back home and not pay rent? As the housing market becomes more unaffordable, many adults are not only relying on the bank of mum and dad, but the house of mum and dad, with reports suggesting there’s up to 5 million of them in Britain. For some this set up will be hunky dory, but for others it can lead to toe-curling conversations about money.
In this episode, Katie chats to “Mark”. Last summer, his adult daughter moved back into the family home with her partner and family in tow. Nine months later, he’s had enough and he’s off. We also hear from financial expert Lisa Conway-Hughes and Telegraph columnist Michael Deacon on practical solutions as well as tips and tricks for navigating this awkward situation.
