Flatsharing is often seen as something that younger people do, but Spareroom says it's seeing more pensioners & people in their 50s looking to do so. I spoke to Patrick Loomer, who at 58 has lived in shares for most of the past 36 years. https://t.co/Xr0fN83Ueo

Prescriptions in England cost £9.90, but those who need regular medicines can pay £114.50 to get a certificate that covers all purchases. But figs show that 1,000+ people are shelling out £500 on individual items a year, unaware that they could save. https://t.co/Qzfq2ukBiO

Despite all advice to the contrary, I opted out of my pension in my early 20s. In the same situation, I'd do so again. We tell people to avoid doing so at all costs, but with compressed wages & rising living costs, many will do so regardless... https://t.co/acGTHdCZ2n

RT @asentance: Good coverage of my inflation views in today’s I-paper. Thanks @CallumCMason.

Inflation dropped this morning, but is expected to rise next month when April price hikes hit the index. Most think it will peak around 3.7%, but some economists warn this is a big underestimate, with ex-MPC member @asentance saying it's likely to hit 5% https://t.co/q1hIMOrIb0
