Loadsamoney? #financefriday
Read more: Loadsamoney? #financefridayI’m listening to the Martin Lewis podcast, which is useful and he is talking about ISAs. You can save in an ISA, of course, and save on paying tax.

Ideas for the future #ramble
Read more: Ideas for the future #rambleI’m having one of those days today. Can I write a post without making a mess of it? I usually ramble on a Sunday writing about whatever is on my mind.

Investing ideas in a high inflation economy. #financefriday
Read more: Investing ideas in a high inflation economy. #financefridayBanks have always been mean when setting interest rates for savers.
