  • Brilliant advice and so passionate about his subject

Question Time: Time to ditch Premium Bonds? Do student loans cost more for middle earners? Credit on a low income?
Q: When does interest count for tax purposes?
Interest counts when it's accessible to you, not when it's paid into your account, which is crucial for determining any tax liability.
Question Time: Time to ditch Premium Bonds? Do student loans cost more for middle earners? Credit on a low income?
Q: Is it true that middle earners pay back more on student loans than higher earners?
Yes, due to the repayment structure and interest rates, there can be a point where middle earners pay more compared to those who earn significantly higher and pay off their loans quickly.
Question Time: Time to ditch Premium Bonds? Do student loans cost more for middle earners? Credit on a low income?
Q: Is this the time to take money out of premium bonds?
It seems that nothing has changed that would necessitate taking money out of premium bonds; it depends on your tax situation and whether you're filling your ISA allowance first.
Are Credit Scores real or nonsense? How to make yourself more attractive to lenders
Q: How do young people build their credit score?
Get some borrowing and use it carefully to build a picture of good credit behavior.
