Ep 434 - Money Dashboard alternatives, child account tax trap & mortgage fee warning

Damien Fahy of moneytothemasses.com talks to Andy Leeks about money.

On this week's episode Lauren and I discuss the best Money Dashboard alternatives and I reveal my personal top pick. I then delve into the latest innovation in the mortgage sector, highlighting a new fixed-rate mortgage product with an interest rate that is 2% lower than the current best-buys. I also go on to discuss the importance of taking account of a lender's mortgage product fee. Lastly, inspired by a question from our Instagram community, I discuss how children's savings accounts are taxed and why a lot of people will now fall foul of a little-known tax trap.   Check out this week's podcast article on the MTTM website to see the full list of resources from this week's show.
