It’s time again for This Is Money, in partnership with NS&I. Every week, Financial Broadcaster of the year Georgie Frost teams up with Financial Website of the Year This is Money, to go through all the money stories you need to know about. This week, Editor Simon Lambert and Personal Finance Editor Rachel Rickard-Strauss are in the studio taking a big look at two major bugbears of the modern age: we’re looking at will-disputes and enhanced inheritances, as well as our own financial competence (or lack thereof). We’re also finding the most expensive parking spots in the UK, and finding a way to stop those pesky cold calls once and for all. This Is Money is presented in partnership with NS&I.
