MT Review - Summer 2025
Money Talk is on hiatus for the next couple of weeks, which means you won’t get the usual newsletter on Sundays.
This break allows me to take time off - because writing a weekly newsletter is pretty time consuming, especially when you have a full time job.
The usual programming returns on 6 July. Until then, here are few pieces from the archives you might like:
It’s so important to have travel insurance these days - but do you know what to look out for in the small print?
Speaking of travelling, I always take a travel-friendly credit card with me, and I use a travel sim that saves me roaming fees too
Finally, take a moment to brush up on your rights when your flight is delayed or cancelled because you might be eligible for compensation
Oh, by the way, Money Talk is on X and Facebook (both as @heymoneytalk), but you might like to join the WhatsApp channel too for tid bits that don’t make it into the newsletter.
I’m kind of lazy with social media so you definitely won’t be bombarded.
