Britons stash over £1bn at home as interest rates on savings dwindle

The most popular reasons the 2,000 people surveyed gave for keeping cash at home include being able to s ee it, using it for everyday spending, and convenience.  Many are unhappy with the interest they were making on other savings and a whopping 17 per cent said their savings were generating no interest at all.

Piggy banks are a great starting point for children learning the basics of saving money, but there is a clear opportunity for adults to gather their stockpiles together and make their money work harder for them.  Whether it is under the mattress, in a bottle, or in a sock drawer, that money could be contributing towards your savings goals.

These served to highlight pension scam warning signs, to encourage greater awareness of fee and charging structures, and to improve communication between pension schemes and their members.

Is May’s proposal “fair and serious” or does it put British expats in jeopardy?

EU FlagVery recently, Theresa May unveiled her “fair and serious” plans concerning Brexit and the rights of expats affected by it, but it has not been met with approval by either EU citizens in the UK or British expats living in EU member countries. British expats fear that Theresa May’s proposal may have ramifications for their own residency rights. Both groups have wished for all matters concerning their legal status to be settled early on in Brexit talks, but, so far, it seems the attempts made to progress matters have only caused further confusion.
