Financial Adviser Explains How to Get Ahead in 2026

To kick off the year we asked for your biggest money questions, which we're answering with financial adviser and friend of the podcast, Lisa Conway-Hughes. This is Lisa’s advice firm LCH Wealth: https://lchwealth.co.uk Set up a Financial Diagnosis Session with Lisa via her assistant Abi: abi@lchwealth.co.uk Correction: At 5:06 Lisa misspoke and said Tom would need 12-24k for 3-6 months of expenses as an emergency fund. She meant to say 6-12k (as in her example he'd have 2k expenses per month). 💬 Do you have a money story you'd like to share on the podcast? ⁠https://makingmoney.email/listener-story-form 🤝 Want 1:1 financial help from us?

There will be no additional charge for you. Remember investments can fall and rise - and past performance is no guarantee of future results. Other fees may apply. Your money is at risk. This is not financial advice. The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We explain the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research. We really encourage that because no one cares more about your money than you and if you learn the basics then it will change your life.
