Elizabeth Lewis+FollowHow to Make Your Savings Work HarderHeads up, savers! Marcus by Goldman Sachs just cranked up its fixed-rate savings to 4.55% for a year. That means if you stash away £1,000, you’ll get £1,045.50 back—no effort required. The catch? You can’t touch your cash for a year, and only the first £85k is fully protected. With so many people leaving money in low-interest accounts, this could be your cue to shop around and make your money hustle a bit harder. #SavingsHacks #MoneyTalk #InterestRates #Business #Market00Share

Robbins’ hack: track your spending, multiply by 20, and see if you’re on track for your dream retirement. Time to check your numbers! #RetirementHacks #MoneyTalk #FinancialFreedom #Business40Share

If you’re looking to save, try own-brand products—they’re flying off the shelves as shoppers hunt for deals! #GroceryHacks #MoneyTalk #InflationWatch #Business10Share

randerson+FollowWhy Buying a Home Feels Impossible NowThinking about buying a house? You’re not alone in feeling stuck. Home sales just had their slowest May since 2009, and prices are still creeping up, even though more homes are for sale. The real sticker shock: monthly payments have doubled since pre-pandemic days, making it tough for first-timers. If you’re house hunting, keep an eye on condos—there are way more sellers than buyers, so you might score a deal. Fingers crossed for lower mortgage rates later this year! #RealEstate #HomeBuying #MoneyTalk23Share
