    Thanks for sharing this amazing podcast with us! Your knowledge is priceless! I'd like to advise you reading this article http://www.agsinger.com/husband-and-wife-finances/ in order to find out some great ways of managing husband and wife finances correctly. I think that the general goal of a family budget is a yearly, monthly or weekly picture of what you need to spend and what you have left over, don't you agree with me? Personally for me, the hardest thing about managing finances is keeping the track of what I spend. What about you?

      Dear Kate,

      Thank you for sending me the link. I will certainly be using your topic in the future. If you have any other ideas for me feel free to let let me know.

      It's a common not to keep a track of what you spend. I personally feel the pressure during Xmas because of the number of presents I need to buy :)

A debt free path for a mental health sufferer

It’s a well-known fact that individuals who suffer from a hampered mental capacity - be it mental health or learning difficulties - are most likely to be vulnerable in our communities. They are also more likely to be victims of miss-sold products and services by companies, even though organisations that are providing financial products and services have a duty under the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to take extra care towards these individuals. This is what the FCA has to say about vulnerable customers: ‘  The vulnerability of the customer, in particular where the firm understands the customer has some form of mental capacity limitation or reasonably suspects this to be so because the customer displays indications of some form of mental capacity limitation  (see  ■  CONC 2.10) But due to a culture of intensive selling to consumers, generated by employers placing and enforcing - often difficult and unrealistic - performance goals wh...

Debt Talk: The welfare state, deficit budget and debt (podcast)

On this month's Debt Talk podcast, Ripon Ray explored: 'The welfare state, deficit budget & debt '. Trussell Trust, a network of food banks in the UK, gave out nearly 3 million emergency food parcels to people facing financial hardship, and it has noticed a 37% rise in accessing its service compared to the previous year. The question for this month's panellists is: have we moved away from support provided by the state and diverted to the third sector? To assist Debt Talk, panellists for this month were the following: Helen Barnard - policy director of Trussell Trust, explained the welfare state's history and purpose and how the UK has significantly shifted away from its initial cause. Food banks are now playing the state's role because the current welfare system is not providing sufficient support to meet the needs of vulnerable and low-income households. The trust is seeing people with disability and working people seeking help because the current social se...
