In the current cost of living crisis it has never been more important to understand the financial world and take control of your money. For over 40 years, Paul Lewis has been arming the public with everything they need to know about personal finances on his BBC Radio 4 programme Moneybox. And in January 2022 he came to Intelligence Squared to answer your questions and discussed the tools you need to balance your budget, stop wasting money and make better use of the money you have. 

From understanding credit cards and buying your first flat, to investing, relationships, finance and writing your will, Lewis answered your questions and showed you how to look beyond the complicated financial jargon to gain the information you need. He also explored how to beat the banks at their own game, and treat the finance industry not as a friend, but more like a vague acquaintance you don’t really trust, but have to see from time to time (and who always makes you pay for the drinks).
