It’s the final episode of Money Mondays so Zak & Emma have put their heads together to put everything they have learned over the past couple of years in to one episode….no mean feat
There have been many issues that have been raised time and time again so we have included a whistle stop tour of each of these with signposting to the episodes where we covered the subject in more detail - Consider this your ‘one stop shop’ for everything Money Mondays
We would like to place on record our gratitude to everyone who has supported us along the way. All of the fantastic guests, the brilliant organisations and the Santander Foundation for making all of this possible
