How much do you need in Premium Bonuses to win the jackpot? And if you haven’t maxed them out to £50,000, is it worth the bother?
This is Money carried out an in-depth analysis of all the £1m premium bond prizes over the last four years and this week revealed how much those lucky people had.
In this week’s podcast episode, Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert discuss what it takes to earn Premium Bonuses.
Simon gives us his tax manifesto to get us out of the mess the British tax system is in.
Also, one of our readers is in his 40s, would like to work on his own terms, travel and enjoy life in a decade, and wants to know if my £180,000 investments can grow enough for him to semi-retire.
What should someone with such ambitions consider? The team takes a look.
Should you consider buying a cheap electric car? Potential buyers are worried about the batteries, but they get over it and Simon says using an electric vehicle could be even worse than he thinks.
And finally, the new King Charles banknotes are now available, but what are the serial numbers to check your wallet for that could make them worth a lot of money?
