    Is the system designed to keep you poor?
    2025/10/13
    Why aren’t we taught about money — and who benefits from keeping it that way? Abigail Foster wants to fix the UK’s financial literacy problem. A trained accountant, she’s built a massive Instagram following (@abigailrosefoster) and taught over 50,000 schoolchildren through her company Elent. She’s now written a book, The Money Manual — but despite working with institutions like HMRC and the Treasury, she’s frustrated by how little has actually changed.

  • The golden age of returns is over

    The golden age of returns is over
    2025/09/15
    Whenever you see long-term stock market averages quoted, chances are they come from Elroy Dimson’s research. Together with Mike Staunton and Paul Marsh, Dimson co-authored The Triumph of the Optimists, the landmark study of 101 years of global investment returns—now expanded to cover more than 125 years of market history. He also helped create the FTSE 100 Index and advised Norway’s sovereign wealth fund. So, what does their research tell us about future returns? Can we really trust the numbers? And is American exceptionalism over? Here’s our compound calculator: https://makingmoney.email/compound-interest-calculator Here’s the video I made that Elroy talks about in the episode: I Analysed 100 Years of Index Funds, This Is What I Found 🤝 Get personal support from a financial adviser ⁠https://makingmoney.email/financial-advisors-audio⁠ 🎉Sponsors MoneyWeek Magazine - Try it for free: ⁠https://moneyweek.com/money⁠ TaxZap - Do your tax return / self-assessment: ⁠https://makingmoney.email/taxzap⁠ Vanta - Get your company secure and compliant: ⁠https://vanta.com/makingmoney – If you purchase a product or service using one of the links above, we may receive a commission.
