Ep 490 - Turn £100 a month into £37k a year pension, bonds explained & self-assessment check

  • Summary

  • In this week's podcast, Damien explains what's going on in bond markets and how rising bond yields could impact your personal finances, including mortgage rates and pension funds. Next, Damien explains how those aged 30, 40 or even 50 with no pension savings, can still build a retirement income equivalent to £37,500 a year (the average UK salary), by saving as little as £100 per month. Finally, with the self-assessment deadline approaching, Andy provides a simple checklist of scenarios that dictate whether a self-assessment tax return is necessary.
