    ‘Cash stuffing’: is cash making a comeback?

    ‘Cash stuffing’: is cash making a comeback?

    It’s called the ‘cash stuffing’ or ‘cash envelope’ method: separating your money into different envelopes of cash to control your spending. Host Claer Barrett speaks to ‘cash stuffer’ Euphemia Senna, better known on TikTok as She’s On a Budget, about the pros and cons of budgeting this way (and the digital equivalent). She also goes inside the Bank of England, the UK’s central bank, to speak to its chief cashier Sarah John about why there are record levels of banknotes in circulation. Is there any evidence that people are turning their back on digital payments and that cash stuffing is on the rise amid the cost of living crisis?

    Was the interest rate rise a wise move or mistake?

    Was the interest rate rise a wise move or mistake?

    Interest rates have finally risen above 0.5 per cent for the first time in almost a decade.

    The Bank of England has decided that the UK's economy is healthy enough to finally get above the financial crisis emergency level, but was the hike a wise move or a mistake.

    Of those in favour, some have been calling for a rate rise for a long time, others believe we must try to get back to normal before recession hits.

    But those opposed believe even this tiny shift up to a very low base rate level of 0.75 per cent, is a gamble too far from the Monetary Policy Committee's ratesetters.

    On this week's podcast, Simon Lambert, Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost dive into the rate rise. 

    Why did the bank hike rates, who will it affect, why do interest rates even move up and down and how did they end up at 0.5 per cent in the first place?

    Also on this week's show, Lee introduces us to the world of micro-saving, we discuss the case of the financial adviser who suddenly ask for £10,000 more and Simon tries to show he is down with the kids who are making money by selling on Depop.

    Over and out: our entertaining look at Brexit fallout

    Over and out: our entertaining look at Brexit fallout

    In the run up to the ‘greatest constitutional crisis of modern times’ it was said that no one knew what would happen if we voted ourselves out of the EU.

    But like so much of the twaddle peddled by both campaigns’ liars-in-chief, this was also not the case.

    We did kind of know if only we had listened.

    The cool head at the Bank of England, Mark Carney, laid out the prospects in pretty clear and certain terms. And it is coming to pass.

    The majority of people, it seems, only listened to the lies.

    You must listen to this week’s podcast though.

    You won’t get a more entertaining overview of the fallout from the EU-out until the dusty hysteria settles in about 2025.

    Simon Lambert, Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce take a look at…

    Whether an interest rate CUT is imminent – and just how badly savers will be affected

    What we know for sure already about the economics of Brexit

    Airfares are definitely going up

    Banks are in trouble

    Annuity rates are trashed

    Savings rates look set to plummet

    Tax credit and cash machines are safe

    Also…

    What kinds of trading deals are on the table for little Britain outside the European Union?

    Tips for 20-somethings who’ll have to foot the bill for their debt-loving forefathers

    How the flimsy looking pound is already affecting prices and jobs

    Is it all Richard III’s fault?

    And…

    How to spot a scams

    How to buy a second hand car

    And what was your first car – and, honestly, how rubbish was it?
