Loud budgeting and inspirational investing

On this episode of the AJ Bell Money Matters podcast Laura and Danni revel in the new social media trend that is “loud budgeting”. The phrase has become popular on TikTok and the pair celebrate that talking about money is becoming less taboo. Also on the show, they sum up where we are in the “cost of living crisis”, including the crucial question of when interest rates are likely to fall. And they talk to Trish Houston who shares her truly inspirational investing story. She used saving and investing to enable her to have children by herself. Now a proud solo parent to two daughters, she credits early financial decisions with opening up the life choices she has now.
