Is cash a Christmas cop-out?57% said that the increase in inflation had impacted their Christmas giftingA third (32%) plan on giving their kids money this Christmas – with cash reigning king (49%)55% of kids prefer cash, though would happily accept bank transfers (25%) and gaming currencies such as Robux, V-Bucks, and MinecoinsChristmas will be costly this year, with inflation driving up prices across the board. Not only will our dinners and decorations be impacted, but more than half (57%) have said it has impacted their gift-giving plans.This comes as a third (32%) say they plan on giving their kids money this Christmas, with cash reigning king as 49% look to put notes and coins in cards for the big day, according to research by NatWest Rooster Money.Physical pounds and pennies are also preferred by kids (55%), though bank transfers (25%) and subscriptions (16%) are also viable options – more so than traditional cheques (13%) and gift cards (12%), which seem to be on the way out.Meanwhile, recognising money is ever-evolving, almost one in ten (8%) parents have said they will gift crypto, while 13% plan on giving their child specific gaming currency – with kids favouring Robux (13%) V-Bucks (10%) and Minecoins (5%).

REPEAT: Claer explores how young people can use the popular tax-free Isa accounts to invest or buy their first property.

Young people are turning to social media platforms like TikTok for financial advice. But how reliable is the guidance provided by usually unqualified and unregulated influencers? Reporter Anita Langary investigates. We also hear from TikTok influencer Callum Carver, and Emmanuel Asuquo of Talis Independent Financial Advisers. More than a million people have put money into Lifetime ISAs, or LISAs. You can save up to £4000 each year, and the Treasury adds a bonus of £1 for every £4 you save. But you can only use the money for two things: to help fund retirement or to buy your first home, which must be less than £450,000. If you break any of those rules there is a hefty 25% withdrawal charge. But with house prices up by more than 20% since LISAs were introduced, the £450,000 limit is causing problems for some first-time buyers. Reporter Dan Whitworth hears from one forced to choose between a hefty financial penalty or losing her dream home. Neal Hudson, a housing market analyst at builtplace.com gives us a countrywide view. We have news on moves to help victims of authorised push payment fraud - when people are tricked into transferring money to criminals. Plus new thinking on making it easier for 18 year olds who lack mental capacity to get access to their government backed Child Trust Funds. And as inflation rates head towards 5%, a new young generation is experiencing it for the first time. But do they really get it? And what can they do to minimise its impact. We bring together Jan Shortt, General Secretary of the National Pensioners Convention, who's been through inflation before, and Iona Bain, a financial writer about young people's money.

How to match your money to your relationship status. Nearly one in four of us live on our own, but dealing with the financial and emotional strain of handling everything by yourself can be difficult.

In this podcast produced by Jericho in association with Barclays LifeSkills, we interviewed three individuals from very different backgrounds. Ricardo Ennis who is 19 and a Lambeth Youth Councillor; Francesca Bilocca, a graduate from Durham University who is currently hunting for a job; and Iona Bain, one of the UK's youngest experts on young people and finance. In the interviews, our guests speak about many topics: money and status, materialism, budgeting, the relationship between thrift and sustainability, Peak Stuff and student debt. 

This week we sit down with author, podcaster and go to girl on young peoples' money questions: Iona Bain. We discuss What first got Iona into working on the Young Money blog, highlights from a decade in the business, research on Gen Z vs Millennial habits and what that could mean for both saving and investing in the future. In addition we explore what do young people tend to “get wrong” when thinking about money and what Iona thinks is the biggest threat to young people's finances in the next decade. What first got Iona into working on the Young Money blog A lack of people speaking to her generation in a relatable way about money, plus being a way to learn. Highlights from a decade in the business Iona's appearance on Question Time, as well as mainstream financial press roles such as Financial Advisor, writing about investing through key events like the Retail Distribution Review and being in the newsroom the day after the Brexit referendum. Iona's recent research conclusions: Young people are most likely to suffer economic fallout from the current environment (particularly Gen-Z) alongside those approaching retirement. This poses questions as we come out of the Covid-19 crisis – how to redress the balance. Differences between Millennials (age 26-40) and Gen-Z (16-25) Gen-Z likely to be more adventurous and entrepreneurial, more likely to be enthusiastic savers than Millennials. Partly because they have seen Millennials get caught out and been affected by too bleak a picture post-2008. There are big changes in saving and investing over the last decade, only one banking app existed in 2011. Since then we have Monzo, Starling, Revolut etc exerting outsize influence in the industry. What do young people tend to “get wrong” when thinking about money Viewing it as a form of gambling and expecting instant results. What's the biggest threat to young people's finances in the next decade? A major stockmarket correction, and inflation. One thing for listeners to remember Mistakes are inevitable. No-one's perfect, we all make mistakes, what matters is we learn from mistakes and are committed to getting to grips with our finances. It's complex but also rewarding. Most underappreciated thing about investing It has genuinely never been easier to start investing. That has its dangers but the biggest problem is often overcoming apathy.

While the Covid-19 crisis has decimated the finances of some people, it has been kinder to others. Some have lost jobs or had their incomes slashed, while others have managed to retain the same wage level and actually build up a healthy savings pot because restrictions have prevented them from spending.  So, how should the young handle their new Covid cash piles? With vaccinations set to ease restrictions in 2021, is now the time to splurge that cash or to build on that savings base? Host Alice Haine from The National is joined by Iona Bain -- the founder of Young Money Agency and the author of Own It, set to be published on March 16 -- who offers her advice on the right path to take.

Women trying to escape domestic violence can spend months on end in a refuge or in unsuitable temporary accommodation due to lack of suitable housing. The Local Government Ombudsman has just published a highly critical report about how the London Borough of Wandsworth spectacularly failed one victim of domestic abuse. We hear from ombudsman investigator Cameron Black, women in this situation. And we ask Lucy Hadley from Women’s Aid whether the forthcoming Domestic Abuse Bill will resolve some of these problems.

This week we have some great stories for you as Sarah and co-host Adam are joined by a couple of great guests : Karen Kerrigan - COO of Seedrs Romi Savova - CEO and founder of PensionBee Iona Bain - blogger at Young Money as well as industry commentator, author and speaker We kick off the episode by taking a look at the remedies for small businesses story. Nationwide Building Society, Investec Bank and The Co-operative Bank have been granted a total of 80 million pounds from the RBS Remedies Fund Pool B. The allocations are as follows: 50 million pounds to Nationwide, 15 million to Investec bank and 15 million for Co-operative bank. The panel discusses the three banks commitments for the money and if there is any significance in the fact that the money was largely given to incumbents? Why wasn't Monzo on the list? Maybe the government thinks that they already have everything sorted out? Next up, we talk about Metro's big short! The bank faced a shareholder revolt when ISS recommended investors to reject Metro's pay report. Since the news, some branches had to face a "run" when rumours spread over WhatsApp that the bank was going to take control over its customer's assets and customers tried to take their cash out in pure panic.

Criminals fraudulently stole £1.2 billion last year from our bank accounts according to the industry body UK Finance. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg - the true scale of financial fraud is hard to put a figure on. As many as four out of five people who have been stung don't report it. Fraud is an epidemic that’s seemingly out of control. In this programme, Iona Bain asks why do we fall for fraudsters? How do they manage to dupe us into hitting the transfer button on fraudulent transactions worth thousands of pounds? Can understanding this give us more of a fighting chance against them? And what’s the role of technology in all of this - both as a catalyst and as a possible cure? Producer: Alex Lewis Editor: Emma Rippon
