Energy Price Hikes, Student Loan Freezes, NI Increases and Interest Rate Rises!

Written By Jason Mountford

On this weeks episode of the show I'm discussing a big week in money. We've had the new energy price cap announced alongside Rishi Sunak's Klarna-esque solution. We've also had confirmation that National Insurance is going to go up in April as well as a freeze on the student loan threshold. To top it all off, interest rates went up!

All in all, a lot to be concerned about, but I'll explain how I see all of these issues and how to tackle them.
