    1. Increase your income=time lost
    2. Decrease your spending=comfort lost

    What sort of expert is that? Expert in scratching his balls?? That 100 will be 5 by the time one will finally be able to actually use it.

    Dump your satellite TVs, dump your mobile, dump TV license, stop smoking, stop drinking, stop dining, don't order take aways, get rid of pets, dump the car, home and contents insurance…… What's the point of living 🙁

    I don't think these people know what poverty is.
    How can you save money when you have none.

    OMG, no offence but this guy is depressing! And host lady, why are you saving at a BRICK BANK? Online banks are paying 3% or more. Employers need to do a better job helping their team members! For goodness sakes, every brilliant employer like Gabrielle Bourne Media should be giving their employees orientation on how to increase their financial quotient. OK, you haven't learned in school, so join an organisation that will teach you the fundamentals. Most of us have at least 3 years of an emergency reserve fund thanks to GB Media!

    Only use Credit Cards only in an emergency then pay them off as soon as you can, else you are just paying good money to the bank for the sake of paying money, all in the interest.

    Well the problem is if you have savings in this country you are penalised. If you have nothing, get benefits, or have victim status, your future is secure.

    How can you save when you don't have anything to save?. 6 months ago my combined Gas and Electric bill was £55. 3 months ago £85. Today it's £133.

    £52 a year, are you insane? This is terrible advice… why aren’t you saying pay off debt earlier? Saving money on interest is the answer for most people

    Tips:
    – Cut back on the smoking and drinking
    – Review your Direct Debits and get them all as low as possible
    – Pay particular attention to things like gym memberships, mobile phone bills and streaming subscriptions
    – Just over winter, consider reducing your pension contributions and increase them again in Spring
    – Put that money aside though, don't spend it on non essentials
    – Consider doing some or all of your grocery shopping at the likes of Lidl and Aldi
    – Reduce your energy bills as much as possible.
    – Consider things like thermal jugs to keep boiled water warm
    – Take showers instead of baths, and make them as short as possible
    – If you have a wood burner, use it to at least keep that one room warm
    – Change your car for something smaller and more fuel efficient, and walk/bike/jog as much as possible

    All easier said then done perhaps, but since when was life easy!

    What most people lack is discipline and restraint when it comes to personal finance

  22. @stumac869

    January 19, 2024 at 6:16 am

    With inflation at 10% (government joke figure) and interest at 2% (short term rate) then every £1 saved will be worth 80p in a year, less whatever tax you're forced to pay. You may as well enjoy it now and let the government look after you if things go bad because you'll only be penalised for having savings.

  25. @robtheplod

    January 19, 2024 at 6:16 am

    The people without savings are actually savvy in the current climate. If you save/provide for yourself then at every turn you are penalised, especially by the state. If you save money, then you have to use this up before you get any benefits, so no point, if you buy a house then this will have to be sold for care. If you save to a pension, then each Government will find a way to steal some of it….. look at who is better off – those arriving across the channel, living in 4 star hotels, or someone who has contributed, paid their way and saved?

    I've stopped saving as you can't take your money to your grave your only on the planet once

    At 52 quid a year, it will only take me 14million years to have as much money as Rishi Sunak. I am all set on the plan.

  35. @Jack-hy1zq

    January 19, 2024 at 6:16 am

    Terrible advice. If people have very little money, then any money the can save, will not keep up with inflation…hyper inflation!! Also, very soon, fiat currency (cash) will be replaced by government digital currency. Any cash in a savings account is going to be wiped out. He is either stupid or is deliberately misleading people

    Thinking you are gonna get a decent return by being a "saver" is just absurd

Andy Burnham’s Britain: What will the country look like under the ‘King of the North’s’ leadership?

Published

on

By



What will an Andy Burnham government *actually* look like?

We dissect the radical “Manchesterism” blueprint Burnham wants to bring to the heart of government. From establishing a decentralized “No. 10 North” nerve centre to launching a massive post-war council housing push, Burnham is promising to radically rewire Britain.

However, critics are already raising red flags. With national debt soaring, can his sweeping plans for the renationalisation of transport and utilities survive contact with the markets? More importantly, is Burnham pulling a “bait-and-switch” on the British electorate by abandoning the very centrist manifesto that Labour was elected on under Keir Starmer?

We fast-forward to 2030 to look at the balanced reality of Burnham’s Britain—the major public sector shifts, the potential tax squeeze on the middle class, and the structural friction that could define his premiership.

Is he the saviour the working class has been waiting for, or a Westminster insider in regional clothing? Watch to find out.
