Question Time: Are we failures for not owning a home? Is the LISA still due to be replaced? Car finance claim success!
6/22/202659 min
In our Question Time podcast, Martin Lewis gives you answers on anything and everything, including: we’re in our 40s, are we failures for not owning a house?
Is anything happening with the Lifetime ISA reform, or should I just take the hit and buy my first home? How does the Nationwide Fairer Share bonus work for tax if it comes into our joint account? We also have a success from someone reclaiming mis-sold car finance for a dead relative after they listened to the podcast. Plus, what shoes Martin wears, and a long-awaited ESQ badge update.
If you want to ask Martin a question, you now can! His Question Time podcast lets you ask Martin absolutely anything and everything (within reason!). So, if you’ve always wanted to know which letter of the alphabet is his favourite, how many marshmallows he can fit in his mouth at any one time, or have a very complicated question about your finances, email it to MartinLewisPodcast@bbc.co.uk.

[gentle music] Ever invest in something that seemed incredible at first but didn't live up to the hype? Like those $5 roses at a gas station, or a secondhand piece of technology that breaks in the first 10 minutes. Marketers know that feeling. We optimize for the numbers that look great, impressions, reach, and reacts. But when they don't show revenue, well, that's a not-so-great conversation with the CFO. LinkedIn has a word for that: bullspend. Now you can invest in what looks good to your CFO. LinkedIn Ads generates the highest ROAS of all major ad networks. You'll reach the right buyers because you can target by company, industry, job title, and more. So cut the bullspend. Advertise on LinkedIn, the network that works for you. Spend $250 on your first campaign on LinkedIn Ads and get a 250 credit for the next one. Just go to linkedin.com/broadcast. That's linkedin.com/broadcast. Terms and conditions apply.
