    Don’t Miss Out: Benefits From Work That’ll Make You Richer

    Are you making the most of the benefits your employer is offering? Most of us go straight to the salary when eyeing up a role, but many of us don’t know all the valuable employee benefits available, or even what they’re legally entitled to. Be it extra employer pension contributions, private healthcare, discount vouchers or loans for equipment, there might be more on offer than you realise. In this episode of A Little Bit Richer, host Iona Bain sits down with Jodie Greenway from L&G's benefits team to discuss everything from salary sacrifice and tax-efficient bonuses, to nap-pods and ‘get-ready-rooms’, and why your pension is still likely the most valuable perk you'll ever be offered.

He’s helping people get financially fit with his podcast, The Money Gains and his Gains app. Together they explore ways to help work out what financial freedom means to you, how to figure out your ‘number’ and the habits and steps you can make to close the gap between where you currently are and where you want to be.   You can watch episodes on L&G’s YouTube channel And see behind the scenes content on TikTok and Instagram You can play the podcast and find other useful content on L&G’s website: https://www.legalandgeneral.com/podcasts/a-little-bit-richer Check out Sammie Ellard-King and Up the Gains on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/upthegainsmoney/ and on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@upthegainsmoney Iona and her guests share their own personal thoughts and opinions in this podcast.

    Sort Your Life (and Death!) Out

    We all have to do life admin, but some tasks feel far heavier than others. And so, many of us avoid doing them altogether. Whether it’s having an up-to-date Will, nominating your pension beneficiaries, or figuring out who you’d want to act on your behalf if something were to happen, this is the kind of life or death admin many of us run from - until we can’t! In this episode of A Little Bit Richer, our host Iona Bain is joined by Mike Hiner, who’s an estate planner from Strategic Asset Protection. Together they discuss the practical steps, common misconceptions and the small actions you can take now that will make a huge difference for the people you would leave behind. From choosing who you’d like to benefit from any cherished possessions and savings to ensuring the paperwork is legally binding - we are making the conversation around this important admin feel a little less overwhelming.   You can watch episodes on L&G’s YouTube channel And see behind the scenes content on TikTok and Instagram You can play the podcast and find other useful content on L&G’s website: https://www.legalandgeneral.com/podcasts/a-little-bit-richer You can find Mike on TikTok @theassetprotectionguy Iona and her guests share their own personal thoughts and opinions in this podcast.
