Talk Money Week Special with Jenny Wright of MaPS
Money is a bit of a taboo subject. In fact, for us Brits, it’s just not the done thing to talk about it. But why is that and what problems does it cause?
In this Talk Money Week special episode, Ben talks to Jenny Wright, Money & Pensions Service Regional Manager for Yorkshire and Humber about the issues that over 20% of the UK are experiencing and why it’s important to #TalkMoney.
In the world of financial advice, we tend to only deal with people who have money and with this special, we wanted to give those in our profession a peek into issues that we don’t normally see and what you can do to help those less fortunate.
In this episode we talk about:
- What talk money week is
- Who the Money & Pensions Service & Money Helper are
- Why we struggle to #TalkMoney
- How things have got so bad in relation to financial resilience
- How loan sharks are targeting people through their children
- The danger of listening to “Dave down the pub”
- Financial wellbeing and mental health
- Why employers could be the key to widespread financial wellbeing
- How the financial advice community can help
- Jenny’s journey from Financial Adviser to MaPS
And as always, we finish with our quick-fire questions.
Every November the Money & Pensions Service (also known as Money Helper) run Talk Money Week. This year it’s on 6th – 12th November and during the week everyone is encouraged to #TalkMoney. This week’s theme is “do one thing” with regard to your finances.
