Do you feel financially confident? When it comes to budgeting, saving, investing, and building your pension, are you clueless, comfortable, or cracking on?

But what does being financially confident actually mean and how can you get there?
On this week’s podcast, Georgie Frost, Tanya Jefferies and Simon Lambert look at how to boost your financial confidence and whether the tips to do so could work.
Plus, a week into a new government and with a planned pensions review looming, the team look at what Labour could mean for our retirement savings.
Meanwhile, investors seem to be cheering Labour taking charge and this week investment giant BlackRock flagged Britain’s ‘relative political stability’ and cheap stock market, so does that mean good future returns?

And finally, a new report has revealed Britain’s best places for customer service – did your favourite make the list?
