How would your household cope with higher interest rates? There’s been a lot of talk recently about interest rates rising. As the British economy continues to improve, the prospect of a rate rise becomes more likely.

According to a new report from credit ratings agency Moody’s, British households will be able to withstand a rise in interest rates as they have been “toughened up” by the global financial crisis.

Is this really the case? Martin shares a couple of exercises you might want to complete today to make sure your household budget could cope with higher interest rates.

Question of the week; when do you think interest rates will rise and by how much?

What are your biggest money regrets? A recent survey conducted by banking group Wells Fargo found wealthy individuals wished they had made better investing decisions, saved more and spent less, and stopped to enjoy their wealth more often on the road to accumulating their wealth.

Is Financial Planning the answer to investing with purpose and spending more time on ‘fun’? Martin thinks it might be and explains why.
