Best of Money Clinic: The financial advice we’d give to Barbie

Money Clinic with Claer Barrett

Barbie is a big spender and high earner, fast approaching the age of retirement. But after a long and varied career that has seen her build a portfolio of multiple dreamhouses and a low-commitment, long-distance relationship with casual boyfriend Ken, what financial advice should she be looking for? 

In this Headlinemoney award-winning episode of Money Clinic, first aired in August 2023, presenter Claer Barrett is joined in the studio by wealth manager Christine Ross from Handelsbanken and FT personal finance columnist Moira O’Neill, who share their tips on everything from prenups to investing.
