More about the show
Maybe you’ve bought a home or started a family or would like to one day. You’re starting to think ahead a little. Have you thought about how you could be a little bit richer in the future?
We can all do with some insight and advice on how best to plan and manage the financial side of life. So that’s what ‘A Little Bit Richer’ from Legal & General explores.
We talk to leading experts and dive into topics like - How much money do you need to stop working? What’s the stronger investment - your property, or your pension? How can you help your children to be more financially savvy?
Together, we’ll build a better and brighter financial future for us all.
