£184.03 per week - The current weekly rate of statutory maternity pay (SMP)

So that’s around £736.12 for a four-week month. I guess mothers just have to work some magic to make this stretch in this economic climate.

@NetflixUK Surprisingly, I MUCH preferred it to selling sunset. The variety felt incredible!

Yes it’s out of touch with the majority of the nation, but that’s what makes it TV.

Really hope there will be multiple seasons as it’s amazing to see what this country has to offer. Thanks Netflix

@SmartSacks @MrsMummypennyUK Wow learned something new today. Thanks!

@SpriveApp Thank you! There was an error on the app on my side. It’s taken the money from my account but not showing as executed and therefore no voucher. I’ve emailed to get refunded.

[Finance Dee @FinanceDee]

@SpriveApp is the app down? Trying to get my cashback in store at the moment and it’s not loading 😭

@BeeMoneySavvy Well done! How incredible 👏🏾

The only tax cut announced in the autumn budget was a reduction to NI from 12% to 10%

If you’re anything like me thinking “So what will this actually look like?” The Salary Calculator website always reflects changes quickly. It’ll show what take home pay will be come Jan 2024.

November 22nd - The day women in the U.K. start working for FREE for the rest of the year

Equal payday represents the pay gap between men and women.

The gap is so big that from November 22nd, it’s the equivalent of women working for free in comparison to men.

OUCH 😓

I don’t know who needs to hear this but… CHECK YOUR CREDIT SCORE REGULARLY!

I’ve been burned twice in recent years. Trying to get something fixed on a credit score is either an awful process, or just impossible.

A quick check monthly could save you when you need it most!

31 years old and have had the joy of:

• A global financial crisis
• Brexit
• A global pandemic
• A pending recession
• A decade of stagnant wages!

All whilst trying to create a happy and financially stable life.

I think we all deserve a big pat on the back honestly 🙃

Life admin is a job in itself! Does it ever stop 😩

@VideoleapApp it’s been a week since I sent an email to sort out a payment issue and I have had no correspondence.

I hope this will make someone actually get back to me.

@BeeMoneySavvy Same boat. Looking to go from £1100 to £1600 😫

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Many asking "how do to prevent my mortgage rate jumping unaffordably when my fix ends?"

The problem is @bankofengland interest rates rises are a deliberate disposable income squeeze. Its designed for you to pay massively more, so there's less money in economy, to help inflation. It's tough to combat.

[Finance Dee @FinanceDee]

This was a very pleasant surprise. Thank you Nationwide 😊

[Nationwide @AskNationwide]

We have something important we’d like to share. Our profits.

We’re a building society, not a bank, which means we can do things a little differently. That’s why today we’re launching The Nationwide Fairer Share.

Being good with money really isn’t rocket science - thankfully!

You know as they say, personal finance is 20% knowledge, 80% behaviour. I fully believe that.

You can absolutely rock your finances with a bit of foreplanning, discipline and consistency.

The last 3 years have been CRAZY:

• Global pandemic
• Lockdowns
• Job losses/furloughs/layoffs
• Record inflation
• Cost of living crisis
• War

And people are still going, trying to keep things moving, and bettering their lives. Seriously, here’s to all of you! 🥂

This is a prime example of what expensive childcare can cause. A huge pension gap between men and women!

[Scottish Widows @ScottishWidows]

Today, women retire with £123k less than men. Why is the gender pension gap still this big?

The gender pay gap, caring responsibilities and working patterns all impact women’s retirement savings. More here: https://t.co/KblqdXiWCH
