Rewirement

Brought to you by financial influencer Kia Commodore (Pennies to Pounds) and Legal & General, A Little Bit Richer is aimed at making you just that.

Each week, Kia and an expert guest will bring you bite-sized financial tips and tricks. We’re talking the stuff that didn’t get taught at school, but that you need to know to survive adulting in your twenties and early thirties. Everything from making sense of your payslip, to mortgages and pensions, to financial wellbeing and mental health – it’s all part of helping make sure you’re making the best financial decisions for you.

The first two episodes are out on September 14th.

Energy prices, interest rates and inflation are all going up and there are more challenges ahead. How do we cope with these extra pressures but still keep on track to meet our financial goals? If something’s got to give when it comes to savings, life insurance or investments, how do we decide what? What could wider uncertainty mean to our pension savings? Three of our experts answer big questions on getting through the next few years in the best financial shape possible.

In our final episode of the series we’re joined by Sarah Astley, Peter Komolafe and Matt Frain. They answer questions posed by Angellica Bell on a range of topics, like interest rates, pension contributions and the lure of cryptocurrency. Listen in as they share their tips on how to navigate the financial challenges you might be facing now and in the future.

Did you know that the average pension pot of a woman is less than half that of a man? Maternity leave, breaks to raise children, making ends meet as a single parent without support – all these mean women often have gaps in pension contributions or sometimes no pension at all. You’ve heard of the gender pay gap? This is the gender pension gap. This time we find some options for Di who, at 57 and having raised her son alone, is trying to see how she can provide for her retirement. Is there still time?

In this episode we’re joined by Angela Kirkwood from MoneyHelper, a free and impartial service helping people make the most of their money and pensions. And Legal & General’s Katharine Photiou, Commercial Director for Workplace Savings, shares her tips on how women can reduce the gender pension gap and stop it in its tracks early.

Being your own boss can be exciting and rewarding. But there is a downside – no company pension, no PAYE and if you don’t work, you don’t earn. Plus, when you’re trying to keep a business afloat, your own personal finances are often last on the priority list. This time we help entrepreneur, Jessy, understand how to create financial security for her business and herself.

Pete Komolafe, founder of Conversation of Money, joins us this week to help Jessy on her path to financial confidence. And Matt Frain, Advice Director for Legal & General Financial Advice, is back with some sage advice on saving for now and the future.
