Question Time: Keep saving hard, or spend more on my family? £30,000 stoozing success! Top up missing NI years?

from The Martin Lewis Podcast · host BBC Radio 5 Live

In our Question Time podcast, Martin Lewis gives you answers on anything and everything, including: can I claim car finance mis-selling if I had an interest-free deal? Should I continue to save hard, overpay my mortgage and invest, or spend a bit more enjoying life with my young family? What do I do if my LISA bonus comes in after I’ve bought my first house? Do I need to top up missing National Insurance years at 36? We also have a brilliant success story from a couple of stoozers who’ve managed to build a £30,000 stooze pot, plus, you get to decide what we call you if you ask Martin a question on the podcast – but to find out how, you’re going to have to listen to the show! If you want to ask Martin a question, you now can! His Question Time podcast lets you ask Martin absolutely anything and everything (within reason!) – so if you’ve always wanted to know his favourite ice cream flavour, if he’s ever pondered the meaning of life, or have a very complicated question about your personal finances, email it to [email protected].
