How to invest in your children’s future
Having children is a wonderful thing, but it’s also a big responsibility that requires plenty of planning ahead – especially when it comes to your finances.
Finding financial wellbeing when… you have binge eating disorder
As well as taking a toll on your bank balance, all this eating also impacted my weight and overall health, both mental and physical. My relationships suffered, and I lost countless work hours to the void of binging and depression. The more I binged, the worse I felt. The worse I felt, the more I binged, and the more I spent – and not just on food.

They intended on returning home to Iran after they graduated, but like so many Iranians in the UK (the 2017 census found there were approximately 70,000 Persian Iranians here) as the Iranian Revolution took hold, they were forced to seek asylum, and so their planned futures suddenly became a blank space.
Finding financial wellbeing when… your partner dies suddenly
10 years ago, on a Friday night, tucked up in bed I was woken by a loud rap at the door.

My husband had killed himself at the friend’s house he was staying at following our recent separation.
