Welcome to another episode of "Let's Talk Money and More!"Today, we're diving into the world of personal finance with our insightful guest, Antonia Medlicott. Antonia shares her compelling "money story," starting from her childhood experiences in an expat family in Asia to her current passion for financial education and empowerment. We'll explore the importance of making investment accessible for all, regardless of financial status, and the crucial role of early financial education for young people. Antonia and our host, Lesley Thomas, discuss the pressing need for better financial literacy to help prevent financial mismanagement and debt, particularly among university students. They highlight practical strategies for parents to prepare their children for future financial independence, such as investing in Junior ISAs, and emphasize the importance of engaging in open and informative conversations about money at home.Join us as we unravel the impact of financial education, make informed decisions about higher education, and discover alternatives to university, all while empowering the next generation with financial confidence.Key Takeaways:Investment Accessibility: You don't need to be wealthy to start investing. As highlighted by Antonia, and agreed upon by Lesley, even a small amount like a pound can be your entry ticket to the stock market. It's about taking those initial steps and breaking the myth that investing is only for the affluent.Financial Education for the Youth: We discussed the pressing need for better financial education for young people. Understanding budgeting, saving, and the true cost of living can equip them to navigate the financial world more confidently and avoid falling into debt traps, especially when transitioning to university life.Alternatives to Traditional Education Paths: The episode also touched on exploring non-traditional paths, like degree apprenticeships, as viable alternatives to university. These options can prevent student debt while still offering valuable learning and earning opportunities.Connect with Antonia MedlicottWebsite: https://investinginsiders.co.uk/LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/antonia-medlicott-founderandmdX: https://x.com/AMedlicottConnect with Lesley ThomasFREE Resources www.themoneyconfidenceacademy.com/resources/My website www.themoneyconfidenceacademy.com/Join my Facebook Group www.facebook.com/groups/letstalkmoneyandmoreYoutube channel www.youtube.com/@themoneyconfidenceacademyFollow me on Instagram www.instagram.com/lesleythomascoaching/Connect with me on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/lesley-thomasEmail me lesley@themoneyconfidenceacademy.com Hosted on Acast.

In this episode I'm joined by Kate from @moneymindsetmother and we discuss how to effectively manage your money as a parent. Kate is a mum of 3 and is very experienced at managing her own money and her families money so is the perfect guest for this episode. First, we discussed the transition to managing money from a non-parent to a parent. One of the most important things is to know your numbers - knowing exactly what is coming in and going out each month. This comes back to budgeting which is the ‘bedrock' of both building your wealth personally and as a parent for your family. Another suggestion from Kate, which I'm a fan of, is to print out your bank statement at the end of the month and get two highlighters. In one colour highlight your needs and in the other colour highlight your wants. This will then help you to understand where you're money is going and if there's any wiggle room to cut back. Second, we discussed whether the process of managing your money changes as your children grow older. It most likely will and is likely to include using vehicles like Junior ISAs to help save/invest for your children's future. Third, we chatted through how much to save, especially if you have multiple children. The bottom line is, if you're able to, any money saved/invested at all is a bonus. Even if there are points when you can't contribute, any money previously invested no matter how small will continue to compound over the years. Lastly, we discussed investing personally for yourself whilst having a family and some top tips to take away for managing your money as a parent. -----------------------------------------------

It might not be on the top of your to-do list when you have a child, but investing and saving for them to build a tidy nest egg for when they reach adulthood is best done sooner rather than later. In the latest This is Money podcast, editor Simon Lambert, assistant editor (and new parent) Lee Boyce alongside host Georgie Frost look at the best ways to save for your children. We discuss investment options, Junior Isas, a pension and other ways, and why 'the hardest step is the first, but it is also the most powerful'. Lee has a target of a £50,000 pot to build up for his new daughter ahead of her 18th birthday in 2036 – and discusses how he plans to achieve this, with a little help from Einstein's eighth wonder of the world, compounding. Elsewhere, we talk about how invest for your own retirement and Fidelity's 'Power of Seven' matrix, as it looks like the pensions dashboard is finally moving ahead.

Welcome to the podcast from Morningstar UK, the leading provider of independent investment research. This week it’s ISA Ideas and Budget week. Lets start with Junior ISA’s. Junior ISAs allow you to save on behalf of under-18s tax efficiently. Just like an adult Isa, you can chose to shield cash, stocks or investment funds from HMRC, but unlike the adult Isa, investments cannot be cashed in at any time – the child must reach 18 before they have access to funds. We start our podcast today with Emma Wall, Senior Editor for Morningstar.co.uk and Adrian Lowcock, Investment Director for Architas who discuss Junior ISAs in more detail as well as give us 3 Fund Picks for your Junior ISA. As the ISA deadline looms, investors should consider their portfolio holistically and aim to have a portfolio that is well positioned to achieve their investment goals. Portfolio Manager for Morningstar Investment Management, Richard Whitehall is up next to discuss how to take this into consideration when rebalancing your portfolio. Chancellor Philip Hammond has delivered his first Budget report revealing higher taxes for self-employed and investors with more then £50,000 invested outside an ISA. So what does the Budget mean for you? Emma Wall and Cyrique Bourbon, Portfolio Manager for Morningstar Investment Management are up next to discuss just that. Where do Morningstar professionals invest their ISA cash? Morningstar Investment Management and Morningstar analysts work with stocks, funds, markets and ETFs every day - but where do these professionals invest for themselves? We asked them where they will be investing their ISA portfolio this tax year. Want to legally reduce your tax bill? Tilney's Head of Estate Planning Ian Dyall tells us how - and warns investors to make sure they balance their needs. Looking to reduce your tax bill and boost your portfolio returns? Emma Wall finishes off our podcast today explaining the benefits of ISAs and SIPPs - and outlines some alternative tax-efficient investments to consider.
