Cash Chats

This week Andy has been joined by Francesca Mason who blogs at From Pennies to Pounds. They chat about ways to save up for a holiday (and how to keep motivated), the tricks to cut what you pay for festival tickets and spend less when there, and finally Francesca explains what "wombling" is and how it could save you money on your supermarket shop. All the links to topics discussed can be found at https://becleverwithyourcash.com/podcasts

I was speaking at an event this week for personal finance bloggers so I used the chance to grab one of the attendees for this week's podcast. Adam Piplica runs the blog Magical Penny, and we had a quick chat (we only had 15 minutes!) about the benefits to your spending by checking your bank balance and bank statement, an app which helps you spontaneously invest your spare change, and what happens when you hire a red convertible Mini with a friend who's a reckless driver!

As part of Mental Health Awareness week, this week's Cash Chats podcast is a little different. Rather than chat about different things myself and my guest have written, we’re going to focus on one topic - mental health.
