    About this Episode

    This week, I have the pleasure of speaking to Paul Lewis, financial journalist, speaker and presenter of BBC Radio 4’s Money Box.

    Paul talks very candidly about his early experiences with money, including how important he believes it is for parents to discuss money with their children.

    Paul also shares his stories about managing money during his university days and dabbling with bank loans.

    Paul has won more than a dozen awards, including Headline Money Journalist of the Year in 2010 and Association of Investment Companies Broadcaster of the Year in the 2012 Roses Media Awards.

    I really loved being able to talk to Paul in-depth about his money beliefs and experiences and I hope you gain a lot of insights from listening to it.

    I also review the options for buying an electric car, including the tax benefits. Plus, I look at a recent research paper which examines whether financial markets properly account for climate change risks.
