This week, Kate and Pete discuss the rise of the Financial Influencer, or ‘Finfluencer’ (yuk), the pros and cons of online financial information and how to spot the good from the bad. Eventually, they realise that they are Finfluencers themselves!
Behaviour : The Biggest Risk of them All
Just when you thought we were done talking about risk! We’ve covered investment risk from every angle, but the biggest threat to your long-term financial success isn’t the market, but your own behaviour. In the third and final episode of this mini series, we explore why emotional decisions can do more damage than any crash, and how to avoid the costly mistakes.
Risk: The Hidden Ones
This week, we are continuing our mini series on Risk. After focussing on the more obvious ones last week, this time we are talking about the risks you might not have heard of and how to avoid falling into their traps. The biggest threats to your wealth are often the ones you never see coming, so let’s stop that from happening together.
Risk: The Ones We Know
Risk is a word that gets thrown around a lot in money conversations, but what does it actually mean? In this episode, we break down the most common financial risks,
from the ups and downs of investing to putting too many eggs in one basket, and explain why taking some risk is often part of growing your money. By the end, you’ll understand why risk isn’t something to fear, but something to understand and manage.
Managing Money as a Couple
This week we are tackling a very important subject: managing money as a couple. Money has the power to strengthen a relationship, but when it’s mishandled or avoided, it can also become one of the biggest sources of conflict. That’s why this week we’ll explore practical ways to prevent money from driving a wedge between you, from communicating openly about finances to creating a plan that works for both of you. Together, we’ll look at how to manage money as a team and build healthy financial habits that support your relationship rather than strain it.
Understanding Student Finance
Student loans can feel confusing, overwhelming, and full of myths, but are they really as scary as people make them out to be?
This week, we break down how student finance actually works in the UK, from tuition fees and maintenance loans to repayments, interest, and whether having a student loan affects your credit score or mortgage. If you’re heading to university, thinking about it, or you’re still paying off your loan years later, this episode will help you understand what it all really means without the complicated financial jargon.
What Have We Learned So Far?
This week, we’re taking stock of all that we have learned so far – and it’s a lot! We take the time to review where we have been and use that to look at where we’re going. It’s a great reminder of the key lessons we’ve learned!
We cover everything from the basics of spending and budgeting, to credit cards, debt and buying a house. So, if you’ve missed any episodes or simply need a refresher, this episode is for you!

Understanding Investing: Platforms
Investment platforms make it easier to buy, hold and manage your investments, but not all platforms are the same. In this episode, we explain what platforms do, how they work behind the scenes, and the key features that can make investing simpler. We also break down the fees you’ll pay, how those costs can affect your returns over time, and what protections are in place to keep your money and investments safe if a platform runs into trouble.
