ICR283: Improving your financial capability (with co-host Andy Webb)

ICR283: Improving your financial capability (with co-host Andy Webb)

ICR283: Improving your financial capability (with co-host Andy Webb)

It’s Financial Capability Week and, in this episode, we’re talking about improving your financial capability.

Fincap Week is an annual event which takes place in mid-November (this year between 13th and 19th November 2017).

Fincap Week celebrates, showcases and amplifies the work underway to improve financial capability and ultimately to improve financial wellbeing.

The week is organised as part of the Financial Capability Strategy for the UK and aims to get more people talking about money.

In this episode, Andy and I chat about whether we need to think differently about financial capability at different stages of our lives, why financial capability for children is particularly important, how to change financial habits in retirement, and the best resources for improving your financial capability.
