Pt 1: The Biggest Mistake You’re Making with Your Personal Finances | Abigail Foster

Abigail Foster is a financial expert, chartered accountant and advocate for making finance accessible to everyone. She released her debut book ‘The Money Manual: Everything You Actually Need to Know About Personal Finance’ in May 2025.


Money can have such a negative impact on our mental health, and learning to understand our personal finances can help to loosen its grip on our wellbeing.


In part one, Abigail joins Dr Alex George to unpack the three key things you need to understand in order to make sense of your finances, what different tax codes mean (and how to know if you’re on the right one) and why your payslip is more important than you might realise…


Plus, Abigail discusses the importance of understanding your gross vs take-home pay and provides some useful insight on national insurance and state pensions.
