A Little Bit Richer

Are you making the most of the benefits your employer is offering?
Most of us go straight to the salary when eyeing up a role, but many of us don’t know all the valuable employee benefits available, or even what they’re legally entitled to.
Be it extra employer pension contributions, private healthcare, discount vouchers or loans for equipment, there might be more on offer than you realise.
In this episode of A Little Bit Richer, host Iona Bain sits down with Jodie Greenway from L&G's benefits team to discuss everything from salary sacrifice and tax-efficient bonuses, to nap-pods and ‘get-ready-rooms’, and why your pension is still likely the most valuable perk you'll ever be offered.

What age did you learn about money and how has it shaped your relationship with it now? Research suggests that core money habits are often set by age 7, which means the conversations we have with children today could shape their entire financial future. So how do we make sure those conversations are happening in a way that's age appropriate, engaging and actually sticks?
In this episode of A Little Bit Richer, our host Iona Bain is joined by Leon Ward from financial education charity, Money Ready. Leon breaks down the simple, practical and highly effective ways to get children engaged with money from an early age, helping to build the financial foundations that will shape their future. Plus, he explains why financial literacy is one of the most important gifts we can give a child, and why starting early makes all the difference.

How much money would you need to feel financially free?
It’s a tricky question to answer for many and understandably. If we haven’t sat down to work out what financial freedom means to us, how can we ever know what it will take to get there?
We all want to have a strong financial future and live life on our own terms, but what does that look like in practice? And how can we do it faster?
In this episode of A Little Bit Richer, our host Iona Bain is joined by financial content creator Sammie Ellard-King, known across social media as Up the Gains. He’s helping people get financially fit with his podcast, The Money Gains and his Gains app. Together they explore ways to help work out what financial freedom means to you, how to figure out your ‘number’ and the habits and steps you can make to close the gap between where you currently are and where you want to be.
