This Is Money: Rates may be on the rise but watch out for inflation
Savings rates are on the rise but even if you do find a best buy, don't get complacent because inflation is running hot too. In this podcast, Lee Boyce, Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert look at why savings rates are rising, whether interest rates will follow suit and quitehow long it might be before we get back to a normal situation of a savings account consistently beating inflation. Simon discusses whether attack may be the best form of defence in the form of stock market investing - and why the 'just buy bitcoin' comments shouldn't be entirely heeded. Plus, could you or would you want to live off grid? What would it entail? And would it actually save money?
