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.   Money Dashboard to close all accounts on 31st October 2023 Moneyhub review Snoop review Emma app review The Money to the Masses Budget planner Starling Bank increases its current account interest rate Skipton announces market-leading 3.35% 2-year fixed-rate mortgage deal Skipton Track Record mortgage review (100% mortgage) Money to the Masses Mortgage best buy tables Speak to a mortgage adviser 35 year mortgages on the rise Amortization mortgage calculator MTTM Mortgage payment calculator MTTM - Ep 392 - Offset mortgages
