This episode, Cathy chats to Abigail Foster, Chartered Accountant and founder of Elent Finance, who's on a mission to demystify money for the next generation.

Having worked with the Bank of England, HMRC, and Downing Street, plus global giants like Google and Goldman Sachs, Abigail brings serious credentials to her passion for financial education.

In this episode, we explore what financial literacy really means for young people growing up in an uncertain economic landscape. Abigail shares insights from her new book "The Money Manual" and discusses why she believes we're failing our children when it comes to money education. From tax codes to first-time buying, ISAs to pensions, we cover the practical knowledge that should be taught in schools but isn't.

We also look ahead: How will AI and technology reshape personal finance? What financial challenges will define the next generation? And if Abigail could redesign the UK's financial system from scratch, what would she change?

Expect real talk about money anxiety, practical takeaways for parents and educators, and a reassuring take on helping people of all ages build financial confidence for whatever future awaits them.
