EPISODE 200 of the Money Gains Podcast!! Thank you to every single one of you who watches, listens and shares. We couldn't do it without you.
In this episode we're joined by Ryan King from Making Money Simple and Charlie Friend to talk about what you actually do when the stock market crashes.
Over $2.5 trillion got wiped off the market in a day, Nvidia lost around $450 billion and everyone online was panicking. So we asked the people who invest for a living what they did with their own money, and the answers might surprise you. Then it's straight into Anthropic's huge IPO, the Bank of England rate rise and what it means for your mortgage, GTA 6, Black Friday, Guess The Number and Agree To Disagree.

✅ Why a market dip might be the best thing that happens to a long-term investor
✅ Should you overpay your mortgage or invest when rates are this high?
✅ The alleged spy scandal that knocked Nvidia's share price
✅ Is lending money to your mates ever a good idea?

Five financial advisers. Hundreds of clients earning great money and still feeling skint. And every single one of them says the same thing: your salary isn’t the problem.
In this episode of the Money Gains Podcast I’ve pulled together the best bits from five of my favourite conversations with Jason Butler, Andy Hart, Emmanuel Asuquo, Holly Guscott and Pete Matthew, to work out why so many of us are broke on a good salary and what to actually do about it.
✅ Why someone on £150k can still feel hard done by, and the line I can’t shake: “wealthy people ask how much, poor people ask how much a month” (Jason Butler)
✅ Why a pay rise is usually terrible news for your financial plan, unless you do this one thing (Andy Hart)
✅ The system that’s quietly built to take your money, and the 48-hour rule that stops most impulse buys (Emmanuel Asuquo)
✅ The couple on £140k who chose holidays with the kids over retiring at 55, and why that’s fine (Holly Guscott)
✅ “What’s the point in saving if I get hit by a bus tomorrow?” answered
✅ My £400 a month “anti-budget”
✅ Why you might not need a financial adviser yet, and the most dangerous money advice out there (Pete Matthew)

In this episode of the Money Gains Podcast we welcome Sam Grice... Founder and CEO of Octopus Legacy... to the show.
After losing his mum suddenly at 27, Sam found himself buried in the admin, decisions and family fallout that come after a death. Now he helps people sort it before it's needed.
We get into what really happens to your money and your home if you die without a will, why so many families end up falling out, and Sam walks me through writing my own will live on the show.
✅ Why my partner of nearly 10 years would get nothing if I died without a will, and why my share of our home would go to my parents instead
✅ What the law actually decides if you die without a will, including the £322,000 rule for married couples
✅ Why getting married cancels your will, and what divorce does to it
✅ Why Martin Lewis says power of attorney is arguably more important than a will
✅ How to choose an executor, why you don't have to do it if you're asked, and why leaving everything to an 18-year-old can backfire
✅ How leaving 10% to charity can cut the inheritance tax rate on your estate

In this episode of the Money Gains Podcast we welcome Sophia Jarvis... "Wealth Manager of the Year" turned founder of Mia Wealth... to the show.
Sophia, a Chartered Financial Analyst who spent 15+ years managing family wealth, gets into why 90% of UK kids have no investments to their name, the accounts nobody tells you about, and how a tiny amount each month could set your child up to be a millionaire, buy their first home, and never feel the money panic the rest of us grew up with.
Sophia's Links 🔗
Are you a parent who wants to start investing for your child, or a gifter who wants to buy investments instead of more stuff?
For more information visit https://miawealth.co.uk/
When you invest your child’s capital is at risk. Tax treatment is subject to individual circumstances and is subject to change. Money held in a Junior ISA is normally only accessible by the child once they turn 18 and a private pension can currently be accessed at 55.
✅ Why 90% of UK kids have no investments, and the account less than 1% children have but that could make your child a millionaire
✅ The Junior Pension almost no one talks about and the 25% government bonus you get on all contributions into it
✅ How her own dad turned a £120 contribution each month into £70,000 by her 18th birthday, and what it taught her about compounding
✅ Why we're drowning in plastic toys (the average 10-year-old owns 238 and plays with 12), and how to redirect gift money into their future
✅ Junior ISA vs Junior Pension vs Premium Bonds, which to actually use, and the first step to take today

In this episode of the Money Gains Podcast we welcome Emmanuel Asuquo... "The Wealth Coach"... to the show.
Emmanuel, a financial adviser who grew up on a council estate and has since advised everyone from families on the breadline to millionaires, unpacks why being broke has far more to do with behaviour than income, why we tie our self-worth to what we can buy, and the mindset shifts that actually build wealth from nothing.

✅ Why tying your self-worth to what you can buy quietly keeps you poor, and how to break the cycle
✅ How to start building real wealth when you've had no head start, no inheritance and no role model
✅ What the genuinely wealthy do differently day to day, because it's behaviour, not salary
