MoneyMagpie Invest Episode Three: Steve Baker

The UK government is spending more than it earns and the debt mountain is growing. Now that the cost of borrowing has gone up, the government will have to find another £28bn to service the debt each year. 

Even without that extra cost, the fact that we are an ageing population with, now, more people taking from the State than paying into it, the days of benefits, state pension, free healthcare and other services that we have come to expect from the State, are numbered. That’s the view of Steve Baker, former Conservative MP, who has calculated that we have only another 15-20 years of money left to pay out in benefits. It’s a stark view but his calculations are based on projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility.

Of course, no politicians are talking about it as it’s a vote loser, but someone has to discuss it and work out what we can do about the situation. So Jasmine and Steve talk about the problem and try to come up with a few solutions. What do you think could be done? Let us know in the comments.

MoneyMagpie Invest Episode Two: Andrew Foster Bullion Club

Gold is going up and up which is good news for those of us who have been investing in it for a while. It's particularly good news for those who have gold sovereigns in their portfolio. Not only are sovereigns a handy way to keep your gold, but they are also tax-free investments.

We spoke to Andrew from one of our sponsors, Bullion club, who said not only do you avoid paying VAT when you buy them but you also avoid Capital Gains Tax (CGT) when you sell them for a profit as they are considered to be legal tender!Some people are even using them as a way to avoid Inheritance Tax (IHT).. although that’s a loophole that might be closed up by our ever more tax-hungry government.

So if you’re interested, see what Andrew says about how to make the most of that extra tax-saving element. Don’t forget to share this with anyone you know who’s looking for a tax-efficient investment. There are fewer and fewer of them so it’s important to grab them while they’re around!

MoneyMagpie Invest Episode One: Tim Price Shares Some Home Truths

In this first MoneyMagpie Invest Podcast, Jasmine Birtles interviews Tim Price from Price Value Partners who explains how close we are to a massive crash in the Bond Market. As this market is far, far bigger than the stock market the reverberations will be enormous. Already we are seeing it creaking as yields go up for the UK government, adding billions to the already large debt burden. What will that mean for our savings, investments and pensions?
